Reviews
(26-50 of 715)A staple at work! I'd go insane without it!
- Keep projects organized
- Assign and create tasks
- Assign deadlines
- Keep track of status
- Taking away individuals from subtasks can be better - right now you have to click into each subtask
- the calendar feature I've found to be wonky as well
- notifications - if you edit and tag, that notification does not seem to go through
All around great project management tool
- Task-level UI
- Multiple views to choose from
- Dashboard UI - very clean and attractive visuals
- Innovation and new features
- Tags! I wish they used tags instead of folders.
- Filters - I'm not a fan of filters. They make jumping between different types of tasks clunky (even if I save them as presets).
- Active tasks - I wish there was a simple ON/OFF button to show or not show active tasks.
- I wish there was a way to "call" and populate a blueprint straight from inside a task.
Comprehensive solution, sometimes too comprehensive.
- Tracks progress of projects with details.
- Links similar projects together for better visibility.
- Good system of record for approvals.
- Complicated to use for someone who isn't a power user.
- Almost too much customization at times.
An Essential Staple!
- Keeps deliverables and tasks separated
- Ease of use
- Populating timing based on beginning and end dates
- I wish we could take away people from subtasks using the main Wrike ticket instead of having to click inside the subtasks first - it would improve efficiency.
- The calendar feature isn't the easiest thing to use.
- When you edit a Wrike ticket after you've already tagged someone, if you tag a new person from the edit that person does not receive the tag. This ideally would be fixed.
Making Work Easier with Wrike
- Keeps us on track with our schedules
- Enable us to coordinate and communicate with teammates efficiently and effectively
- None as of the moment
Great for project management for smaller teams
- Automation of project requests received from stakeholders
- Detailed workflows for every project
- Templates for different job types
- Ability to deploy a ticketing system like, for instance, ServiceNow.
Excellent Collaboration Tool
- synchronous and asynchronous communication features
- simple reporting and dashboarding functions
- flexible and customizable workflows
- powerful automation features
- Licensing levels are difficult to right-size
- request forms do not allow for rich-text
- Lack of organization features for request forms (i.e. folders to organize them into)
My Experience with Wrike...
- User friendly.
- Gives various ways to organize your tasks.
- It can be adjusted to fit a company's needs throughout the year.
- I would like to see the ability for a user to filter messages where they are directly mentioned or a group they are in is mentioned. Our company sends hundreds of messages regarding 50-60 events to different groups, so the inbox can get very busy throughout the day.
- The ability to create templated responses within the body of the message in a task. Thinking maybe creating an add-on option that is exclusive to each user.
- If a user creates checkboxes in the description, it would be nice if someone checks their box. It would notify those assigned to the task.
Great Tool for Collaborative Project Management
Also used by some Marketing groups for project management.
- User experience is pretty good, easy to use, nice interface, good performance
- Gantt chart features are built for good productivity
- Personalization of email alerts
- Configuration of workflows and custom fields should allow to configure more restrictive actions for users - It is too open and leaves room for user errors.
We are still trying, but…
- Collaboration
- Integration with Microsoft
- Time and project accounting
- Speed
- Reporting
- Analytics
Wrike - fun easy to use project management software
- like the hierarchy structure of Wrike
- liked the tagging feature where a task was tagged in multiple places
- sub tasks was good as well and can have different layers of sub tasks
- I would like color coding for statuses and flexibility to create statuses on the fly
- use as a ticketing system may be limited
- search functionality could be improved
Everything will be all Wrike
- Incredible knowledge base, easy to learn and generally is intuitive across the platform
- Visibility - between dashboards and reports, you can have incredible visibility over project statuses, which is crucial for communicating with executive leadership
- Request forms could benefit from having more options for conditional fields and data, without having to create multi-page forms. Due to Wrike limitations, we use Formstack to manage what Wrike cannot.
Wrike - more of an online Spreadsheet
- Tasks are displayed in an easy-to-use table view. And most importantly, there are many other views, such as the invoice view, to name a few.
- Automated messages and emails to remind you when the date approaches.
- Ability to assign tasks and achievements to individuals.
- Deleted tasks are not permanently deleted and can be restored.
- Changes made leave a record of the user's details, making it easy to track who did what.
- Loop structure when designing request forms.
- Dashboard color coding options.
- When creating a request form, have a condition that if you select option Q1: it will skip 3 questions and jump to Q5.
- Looping options in forms - after submitting a form a button to appear to create a new record.
Wrike works for what we needed it to do.
- Customizable Forms
- Collaborative Editing and Comments
- Automation Workflows
- The email notifications that are automatically sent from Wrike when something is done are easy for users to miss or ignore.
- Reporting can be limited. You have to create workarounds for collecting/storing the name of the person submitting the form in instances where they do not have their own Wrike license.
- A more user-friendly interface, especially for those less familiar with project management software, would enhance overall accessibility.
The download on wrike
- Organizes tasks
- Easily assign ownership
- Stay abreadst of project deadlines
- More in tune with automatic date functionality
- More user friendly design
- Dashboard options could be expanded
Collaborating Better Together
- Contextual collaboration - bringing people from different teams in together and having them know exactly what their contribution needs to be
- Proofing/reviewing work - approval and proofing features are extremely helpful especially when we expect this from folks who aren't in Wrike
- Creating plans for repetitive work - otherwise called blueprints, we can create these templates and trigger them to get started on projects and tasks
- Request forms - capturing details of requests and connecting folks with the right team(s) to get the work done
- Automations - while they constantly improve this, there are still some basic automation capabilities that I'd love to see within Wrike
- Messy - it can get rather messy, especially when working with thousands of tasks
I would have said that Wrike is best suited for teamwork and less suited for personal work, but that would be a lie. There's a personal space where users can keep track of their own work, deliverables, reminders, etc.
A Project Managers' Best Friend!
- Meeting Notes - allows for seamless creation of action items via subtasks. Tags into locations and Custom Fields make it simple to customise data and simplify viewing purposes with minimal effort once setup.
- Issue Logging - Request Forms allow seamless integration of tasks and requests from both internal and external sources. Simplifies the issue resolution process and clearly directs action of users resolving an issue.
- Task Management - customisable status options make it easy to know where a task is at. Gantt Chart and dependencies functions make it easy to interconnect tasks and understand end-to-end actions
- To-Do Lists - highly customisable dashboards and to-do lists to make it easy to visualise tasks for yourself or team members.
- Outlook Integration - Wrike is getting better and better at integrating with other products, but the outlook integration saves a lot of double handling by providing automatic suggestions for tasks and follow-ups based on your emails, and the ability to automatically create calendar events from tasks
- Visualisation of tasks for yourself and others
- Automation based on highly customisable fields
- Powerful analytics
- Amalgamation of ticketing service and project management software
- Continuous development of product
- Listening to requirements from user/community
- Visual noise
- Large updates to product with minimal warning to users - need to better communicate product changes
- Processing speed issues on large datasets
Less suited to teams with simple tasks who just need a to-do list to get things done. Too much visual noise for these users.
Wrike Review
The problems it addresses, is that if a certain step is not done correctly, it goes back to the start of the process.
- It sends us email about what is assigned to us next
- It keeps each project separate
- Only send emails about the individual's role
Wrike makes project management easy
- Differnt views that can be customized per user
- Forms that you can use for project intake
- Easy navigation
- Would like the ability to have some more customization of look and feel
Some of the challenges come form our web team - they are working thru Wrike but it isn't web forward like Jira.

I Wrike can't be your primary source of truth (maybe with a secondary source to support) it may be worth considering if Wrike is the one - but I honestly can't make up a scenario in which I can't see how Wrike could be utilized, within reason.
