I use Wrike to design print and digital marketing materials at a public 4-year university. For print materials, I create "post cards" for prospective students with university information about admittance requirements and institution resources. For print, I create digital signs and email headers. Both the print and digital assets are easy to edit and keep on brand for the institution.
  • Providing templates
  • Easy to navigate
  • Easier to remove locks (this may be set up by my institution)

We use Wrike to manage all tasks and projects within the Marketing team. All tasks are created and assigned, and once complete either marked as such or moved to another teams board for their input / sign off. <br><br>It allows full overview of all work within the team as well as individual to do lists.
  • Project management
  • Task assignment
  • A few too many clicks to jump between boards and dashboards. Adding 'favourites' or 'quick links' could help
For managing a larger team who all have input on certain tasks. For example a campaign. It may involve our designer, email specialist, comms team and digital team. Single task can be moved from team to team and everyone can see where it is in the current workflow.

We use Wrike as our primary site of submitting, reviewing, and publishing all written contents. Analysts will upload their draft documents on the site and other stakeholders will review them, edit them, and then finally get them published. We also use the platform to collect various contents including case studies for each project.
  • Content Storage
  • Workflow
  • Step Tracking
  • User Interface
  • Registration and Login
  • Integration with other Softwares
Wrike is a particularly effective platform for companies, especially in the consulting/market research vein, to keep track of all published contents without creating a massive flow of emails that often gets messages messed up and accountability uncertain. Contrarily, it is less of an effective tool for storing online contents.

Using Wrike on the daily submitting for solar plans. The communication abilities are a nice touch that helps complete each project. Everything comes very well organized within the portal making it easy to track your projects. Overall its very easy to use & I would recommend to anyone that needs this type of service.
  • Solar roof designs.
  • Engendering
  • Very user friendly. No need for any change.
Wrike really helped me out with a project this week by clarifying what we could do within a city that has extra rules. My team was not aware of certain setbacks & changing the overall outcome of a solar layout. Wrike was able to educate my team on the rules & gave us the max we could work with.

We use Wrike to schedule virtually all inter-departmental projects including email campaigns, social media campaigns, updates to our website, database maintenance jobs, etc. Anything that requires communication between departments.
  • Emails updates when someone else @ mentions you inside a project task
  • Allows you to see when others have completed their tasks so you can begin yours
  • Maintains an archive of completed projects
  • When I click into a task, it is not always easy to find my way back to the project level
  • When I clone a project for the next one, it is hard to control which aspects get cloned and which I want to populate with new information
  • I don't really know how to get an overall view of my to dos
  • Sometimes I am given access to a project, but not sub-tasks or attachments, which is annoying.
To me, seems well suited for repetitive projects, like creating an email blast or a set of social media assets. Less well suited to unique projects where you can't clone an old project or template.

we use wrike to manage communications projects. The communications office stores all of the projects on wrike for review. It helps us keep track of projects year over year and track notes from different offices. I don't manage projects on the system, I am often responding to projects that are posted.
  • track project changes
  • easily gather feedback across departments
  • organize projects that run across a calendar year (set up and view pushpages over the course of 12 months)
  • provide visual mark-ups on posted projects
Great to share a piece across depatments and collect/see feedback from all.

Challenging to list the requested edits when the edits are visual.

Wrike has been utilized in my work with eLearning Network, in order to make communication of project needs (and the uploading of finished project files) a much smoother process. The organization of the platform is very helpful, and keeps things tidy when working back and forth on projects. Thank you!
  • Facilitates ease of communication amongst teams.
  • Organizes files in a clean manner.
  • Provides easy-to-use platform.
  • Sometimes things are organized TOO well, and it's hard to find a file's location.
When collaborating remotely, it's important to feel like everyone is on the same "page". Wrike has helped me as an individual freelance voice actor to successfully collaborate with the team at eLearning Network; by providing clean, organized group chat conversations and folders to silo the files needed to complete collaboration projects.

Wrike was used as a project management tool to track the status of digital media campaigns, reporting, and other client needs across a team of about 10 people. While using Wrike, I was a contractor for the agency and was easily able to plug into their process.
  • Organization
  • Project Status Tracking
  • Prioritization
  • Navigation
  • Search Functionality
Works well for an agency environment where there are a lot of different deliverables for clients that need to be prioritized across accounts and teams. Easily allows you to see the full workload to help the team prioritize if needed.

We use Wrike for marketing campaigns, sales details, and creative task. It has been great for task management but struggles with storing documentation. We are still having to use other platforms to accommodate this. Overall it is still our top choice for task management currently. We hope to see better task management in the future
  • creative task like editng on a pdf
  • Blue prints i think would great
  • Large task management
  • Small daily task management
  • Better Ui so i can find stuff easier
  • project storage
Wrike is best suited for small tasks like creative edits, suggestions and things of that sort that we work with design teams on. It has also worked great during product launches for keeping track of larger milestones. However, on the other hand we still have another document that stores small task but use wrike for larger task. This can be annoying not having it all in one place.

We use Wrike in several ways. We have project plan templates for our most used services so that we can duplicate them and use them to track our progress on projects such as strategic planning processes, recruitment, and business development coaching. We also use Wrike as a task list for internal work such as Marketing and Strategic Planning for ourselves.
  • Wrike allows us to stay off of email and communicate with each other within a project
  • Wrike has user friendly task nesting and dependencies
  • Wrike has different levels of users that allow us to share project plans with clients
  • I can link google docs to tasks within a project plan and continually update the docs
  • The different spaces can be confusing
  • Project plan titles do not appear on the to do list view
  • when I change dates on a task that has subtasks, the subtasks sometimes don't automatically adjust even though I check the box for that to happen
Wrike is useful to house a library of business project plans that have tasks assigned to a number of different people on the team. It is easy to duplicate templates and to tailor plans to specific clients. It cuts down on email traffic to check on project status. The interface is user-friendly.

I currently use Wrike as our marketing team's project management system. We receive requests from multiple departments for our marketing services, and we use Wrike to schedule out tasks, do Guest Reviews with our users, and complete projects.
  • Dashboards
  • Tasks with detailed information such as deadlines and assignees.
  • Guest Reviews
  • More color coding options
Wrike has been a great tool in order to keep me organized in the multiple projects I take care of between the multiple business units. It also helps me stay on track of deadlines, as well as working with other team members. One thing I think that would work well is if Wrike let us customize our notifications.

I use Wrike as my main project management tool. It is perfect for routing approvals and ensuring that everything is traceable under each task. It always to have a historical view of each document and what changes, comments and feedback were linked to it.
  • Extremely easy to use
  • Traceability of projects
  • setting deadlines
  • the platform can sometime slowdown when you have too many tabs open
  • notifications could be a bit clearer, option for them to stay on longer
  • dashboard is not something I personally find useful as it is offered right now
It is particularly well suited when a project has to go through multiple hands and required approvals on each step.

I use it on 2 fronts: on my team (marketing) and to communicate with another team (research).

I use it for project management, organization, weekly/monthly to-do´s, and to align tasks where I need collaboration of my team.
  • Dashboard & reminders - love that I'm able to personalize
  • Automatically tagging the people in my team responsible for X task when I request something
  • Easy to use and to send requests to other team members
  • Do not like the new search bar on the left, thought it was less user friendly
  • Very hard to find some old tasks on search bar. Sometimes I look for old files and it takes a long time to find
  • On that same note, the "filters" could work better. It would save me a lot of time (for example, filter tasks that happened on X date or year).
Well suited for project management and collaboration with other teammates;

Wrike is used to manage projects. We list things by tasks, sub-tasks deadlines, and individual/group ownership. It is such an easy system to follow - fool proof. But more than anything, it keeps everyone organized. I love how transparent this tool is to check other projects as a director.
  • Organization
  • Transparency
  • Timebound
Wrike is perfect when you are using it for project management purposes. It's also easy to use and easy to edit when you need to add tasks. What I also like about it is you are able to see the crossed off tasks to go back and make sure you had everything covered.

Wrike is used as a project management tool. Different teams use different Wrike processes. IT uses it for project intake from stakeholders and task management.
  • customizable request forms
  • workflows including different approvers at different steps
  • task blueprints
  • task ordering by priority (I think partly possible in table view but very clunky)
  • seeing information on a history of status changes and who applied these for all users
  • less frequent design updates that completely reshape the UX
well suited for project management between different business teams/ silos. Can be a bit too basic for some IT needs (doesn't offer the same ranking capabilities as Jira)

We use Wrike to manage our Marketing and Social Media content. Having multiple contributors on projects made it difficult to organize tasks before we use Wrike.
  • Project Archiving, and searching for past projects
  • Useability
  • Locating project which belonged to employees no longer working with the company.
  • Notifications can sometimes be confusing. I would prefer Outlook calendar invites to help keep me on task instead of notifications.
We have many campaigns that we re-launch each year and it is easy to locate past campaigns and copy them into the next year. Communicating withing Wrike is easy. Specifically communicating with other users.

Wrike is an essential tool of our marketing and creative teams. We cannot function without the project management tool. We use it to pass assets back and forth between teams, to review creative, to manage our various projects, and even as personal organizational tools. Although we depend so heavily on this platform, we all agree as a team that it is very difficult to get the hang of Wrike. The process of onboarding is made easier and more helpful by senior leadership that has used Wrike throughout their tenure at our company and have provided blueprints and a sense of organizational direction for the team. Overall, Wrike is helpful, but extremely confusing to get the hang of, and has been made even more so by the new redesign.
  • Providing blueprints to duplicate for future projects
  • Collaboration features
  • Approval features
  • More explanation for how to set up projects and organize
  • UX/UI
  • i don't know a third
Wrike is well suited for project management and for collaboration among a large team of employees, or in cross functional settings. Wrike is great for passing assets back and forth between teams; for example, when the creative team finishes graphic design on a creative asset, this can be easily passed to the marketing team for approval.

Not everyone in the company uses Wrike, but our particular wing does, and more and more people are starting to. We use Wrike for program planning, project planning, task planning, task assignment, service work order requests, procurement work order requests, vacation requests. We use the Gantt charts for program planning and planning in our respective departments. We create personal dashboards to help us see what tasks and subtask are in our queue, working on, completed, and past due. We write updates for each task we're working on so that our managers and program planners can see what's going on if they're in a meeting or looking at timing.
  • Collaboration in Projects and Tasks.
  • Program Gantts Are Visible All the Time, Don't Need to Contact the Program Planner.
  • Customizable
  • There is no ability to show Gantt for one specific task and subtask from the task box. It would be nice if there was an option to quickly be able to do this to highlight one particular task/project timeline.
  • Toggle in settings to show the location field at the top of a task like it used to.
  • Can edit the date when looking at all the subtasks in a task, but not the status. This would save so many clicks for me.
Wrike is well suited for program planning and longer-term task planning. I don't find it helpful for tracking tasks that take 5 minutes or less because it clutters my dashboard. It would be nice if there was a reminders or quick task list that would be separate from the other tasks. For example, you could set dates/times to do a 5 minute task. Right now, I'm still using physical sticky notes for this.

Within our organization, we heavily depend on Wrike, a project management tool, to effectively manage and orchestrate our written and audiobook projects in collaboration with our clients. This not only guarantees that all stakeholders are on the same page but also enables us to meet production deadlines with ease and efficiency.
  • keeps large projects organized
  • helps keep all stakeholders on pace with the production schedule
  • helps keep all team members up to date on the production steps and their completion.
  • high price point for a small business
  • steep learning curve for first time users
Overall, in my experience, Wrike provides an extensive selection of tools and functionalities that enable efficient project management. With its real-time capabilities, Wrike has successfully improved communication and collaboration between stakeholders and remote team members. This has resulted in enhanced productivity and streamlined workflows, ultimately contributing to the success of our projects.

Wrike helps the organization in terms of files exchange, and the management of research projects. Research analysts have to deliver reports to the review team, and Wrike platform helps on that. Also we are able to see scheduled projects to be written in the following months.
  • provides a space to send reports among peers from different teams
  • it's helpful to see other ongoing and future projects
  • provides the project's status as well
  • the project assignment. A report was not assigned to me, and I have to ask someone to do it.
  • Sometimes it's difficult to find projets/reports within all included in the platform
  • tips to improve the usage of the platform
I think Wrike is appropriate for multinational organizations, in which projects/reports involve many departments and people from different countries. It's a platform that we can easily manage the workload and also update the involved teams on whether the report is being written, it's already done or it was delivered. I think Wrike could also be helpful on tracking the time spent on each project.

  • Map out project's timeline
  • Assign tasks to members
  • Store documents

We use Wrike to manage projects from start to finish. We build out projects in Wrike and tasks to keep us on timeline and budget. It stores all of our current and past projects which is helpful if a client has questions regarding a project in the past. Wrike makes it easy for us to collaborate and let our teammates know when different items are needed/due.
  • Wrike organizes our projects really well. We organize by department and then put projects in those respective spaces.
  • Wrike creates a great workflow. Being able to put tasks in with their due dates and then detailed information within each task is great.
  • Wrike also has great customization. We have customized our Wrike space to fit our needs.
  • Wrike could update the home view. I find that it's confusing how it's laid out.
  • Wrike could update the my to do screen. I think it's not laid out efficiently.
  • Wrike could make the places of where files are stored better. I find that they're not in an optimal place.
In my opinion, Wrike is the perfect project management software for any marketing team. It truly has the customization and organizational features that you need to keep information all in one spot and on task. It helps me look at my projects and know when/what is due. I think it's not as much needed for different teams looking at projects from a whole. I truly think this was meant for marketers vs others.

Managing Projects for Design Engineering new Product development.
Both Traditional and Agile project styles
Wrike's reports are used to allow upper management to universally understand the status of the project regardless of which style it's being managed as
Wrike's Forms allow us to manage incoming new product ideas and support tasks for sustaining products.
  • Product level viewing options
  • customer support
  • easily customizable
  • recent lightspeed update lost features (supposedly will come back but not immediately available)
  • Admin/ Owner visibility/access is sometimes limited
Wrike (like most these work management tools) is intended for the employee to 'live' in the environment for it to work most efficiently and reap the full benefits. In order for this to happen, a company needs to fully commit using the tool across all departments.

however, it can still work well as a task management and reporting tool even without full company buy in.

All Project Management in the Ops department. The Fleet department was recently onboarded and it has been a great success. Marketing and Design will soon be onboarded also along with additional Administrative staff to assist the Ops department.

As a company operating globally, Wrike solves many communication issues for us, we lose far less information and things are achieved in a much more efficient, accurate and most importantly, accountable way now. It provides us with a much clearer picture of what resources are needed and where, and helps us identify gaps and potential issues before they happen. It has significantly reduced both the volume of and need for long email "conversations", and other less transparent ways of communicating such as chat messaging and phone calling, getting us much closer to the ultimate goal; a single source of truth for all our projects, every time.
  • Collaborative Work Management
  • Delegation and managing accountability across diverse resources
  • Being the information hub for a project
  • Achieving Organisational Nirvana
  • Wrike Discover could use some updating and the sign-on process is cumbersome
  • Significantly more powerful duplication functionality to allow ease of replicating work structures and various work items, custom item types, blueprints and forms etc *across spaces*
  • Dashboard visibility for the Collaborator License!
  • Ability to grant/revoke permissions for collaborators to edit custom field data
When sufficient time and effort is spent to properly and thoroughly build a robust Wrike ecosystem for a company, it is an absolute game changer for efficiency, productivity, transparency and accountability, detailed time and resource management, and more effective, collaborative and speedy communication within teams and between departments.

I am a huge fan (!!) and only wish our company would invest more to train up a Wrike Champion in each office, and also invest more time and effort to have all users trained to a much higher level in the tool, to better leverage it and squeeze even more value from the investment and choice to make Wrike our work platform of choice.

I use Wrike daily to communicate with our Design, Estimating, Production, and Shipping teams as wells as our outside vendors. This allows all team members to see their portion of the project and how it effects other departments. This is used in the commercial sign industry and is helping to streamline our communication.
  • Connects Team Members of different company departments
  • Keeps track of tasks for each area and reassigns as needed
  • Schedules task timelines, follow ups, and time spent
  • Breaking tasks out into project areas or assigning a label or sections to a timeline would be helpful.
  • Being able to reassign an Author is not possible and has been a requested update.
  • Additional storage per user would be helpful to contain all documents for each project over time. Archiving to save space would also be helpful.
Wrike is well suited to move a project along several departments within a company. Wrike is not well suited to track project stages from initiation, planning, executing and closing.
