Reviews
(1-25 of 85)a great collaboration tool
- the ability to interact with different teams and workflows but still keep your own space organized and separate
- a good inbox that allows you to pay attention to the issues without having to look at all your cards to find out what's new
- the ability to customize the templates and fields
- it has something of a learning curve. It could use more AI assistance
- I'd like to see easier ways to collaborate between teams
- the follow-up/reminders could be rethought
- Editing of tasks
- List creation
- Selection of days spent on tasks
- Easy to print lists
- I would like for Wrike to offer more guidance on how to use its features.
- I would like for Wrike to have a more noticeable way to print lists.
All the bells and whistles!
It addresses the need for visibility, standardisation, and all the standard features associated with project work.
In particular the ability to use blueprints significantly speeds up workflow set up and execution, and the ability to view projects in board, table, and card views is very useful.
- Reformatting the data into different views
- Advanced features including blueprints, forms, automation
- Advanced project and resource mangement using gantt charts, linked tasks, etc
- Wrike is very technical and complex, simplifying the user experience should be priority 1
- There is a lack of clarity in how to find certain things, sometimes it takes me 5 minutes to remember where blueprints, forms, and automation are found, each is in a different place buried in menus
If all you need is a simple task board, with basic project management features, there are better tools to use, for example Trello.
Great Project Management tool!
- projects that can be linked to different folders.
- Options in the task menu, such as priorities, subitems dependency.
- View of the projects and dashboards
- Spaces
- At the beginning it takes time to get use to it, so the learning curve it is a bit long
- Internal search - sometimes is difficult to find old task
- Calendar
Front End Web Design and Wrike
- Keep projects organized by assigning who is working on them
- The email feature where you can email clients directly through the platform
- The stages that you can assign a project to.
- It is a tough learning curve and took me a few months to get the hang of it.
- Make the "Search" feature easier to find. It took me forever to find it and my teammates ask me where it is located.
- The overall look is busy. This is not a particularly big issue to me but a sleek and cleaner look would be cool!
Wrike usage in my organization
- Centralized Communication
- Resource Management
- Real-time Progress Tracking
- Campaign Management
- Integrate with more marketing tools and platforms
- Expand automation capabilities to handle more repetitive tasks, streamline processes, and provide greater clarity
- Enhanced Reporting and Analytics
Real-time Progress Tracking: Wrike enables tracking progress in real time, adapting to changing circumstances, and integrating with platforms like Google Ads and Facebook for performance assessment
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
Best project management tool ever!
- Project management
- Status tracking
- Visibility
- New interface, the buttons are too small
- too many options
- accessibility of users
Improving Wrike's usability and accessibility
- Project request
- Time management
- Reporting
- Project tracking
- User interface, can be cleaner
- cleaner and more intuitive URL
- Project codenames thru query string eg. EM-2042
- User centered dashboard, e.g. highlighting projects that are overdue etc.
It is less appropriate to use for regular and recurring tasks, however, it is good to have a feature having this, for example, bi monthly newsletters every 1st and 15th. Wrike would notify stakeholders to provide materials, while creators will be provided a preview.
Using Wrike on a marketing company
- Task or project status
- Time control
- Record of every step of the tasks
- Comparison of images to visualize changes
- Time control for people outside the team
- The privacy control of guests could be more intuitive
- If the creator of the task is not assigned to it, the @asignees tag won't send a notification to them
Using Wrike for 7+ years, from 30 to 300 employees.
- Project Managment: Production, Technical, and Service
- Program Management: Cross-organization initiative coordination
- Work Management: Queue based team task intake and routing
- Wrike Analyze is very powerful, could using some ease-of-use improvement
- Wrike Resources: Great for task level allocation, could use a simpler/hire level Project allocation options
- Ability to make more custom user interfaces that could be embedded in places like SharePoint pages.
As a User, it works!
- They provide a quality platform that can be used in multiple ways (online, phone app, email). This provides the user with plenty of notifications and manner to communicate openly on a project.
- The system to upload files and immediately provide feedback is streamline. It takes the guesswork out of where something is because it is right there in front of you.
- It allows communication easier for those who are not in the same corporation/company/business. It creates a way for the communication to seem like it is inter-office without the need to constantly login to new platforms and get confused to where a file may be stored to look over.
- The initial use can seem frustrating. Once you know how to use it, it is amazing, but it is the upfront work that can be slightly confusing.
- There can be some challenges with the log in process. There can sometimes be issues with passwords but that really is not a huge concern.
- The messaging system with file sharing can sometimes get confusing. There were moments where trying to find the most recent communication seemed trapped among other messages.
Wrike enhances creative project management
- Status tracking
- Assigning tasks
- Setting deadlines
- Producing reports to track productivity
- Reviewing and approving deliverables
- The review function could be developed further - more precise marking on shared files.
- Sometimes attached files take a long time to load.
Powerful Project Management Platform
- Workflow Automation
- Approvals
- Design Reviews & Markup
- UX: Wrike isn't the most elegant software but gets the job done.
- Ease-of-Use: The software has a steep learning curve for new users.
- Automation Rules: Automation is great when it works but requires some trial and error to get it to function the way you intend.
- Project Management: Wrike is a very powerful tool for larger Marketing teams that need a way to standardize workflows. It is highly flexible and can be customized in a near-infinite number of ways based on how you work & what you need to track.
- Reviews/Approvals: Wrike excels at approval workflows, specifically for high-fidelity design reviews. It is a fantastic tool for PDF/Video/PPT markup, with support for contextual comments/feedback and versioning. Wrike also allows for external reviews (non-users), which is a nice perk for those who need to share collateral with stakeholders outside of their Marketing organization.
- Calendars/Dashboards: As mentioned, Wrike has a ton of functionality. I particularly like the multi-layer calendaring capabilities, which allow for distinct calendar views for different campaigns, asset types, or anything else you need to track or visualize. Dashboards are also very powerful (though, I don't find Wrike's native widgets to be particularly useful).
Wrike Has Completely Changed the Way We Work as a Team
- Wrike's options to set dependencies keep projects moving automatically without occupying the project manager's time to update each assignee that a task is ready to move forward.
- Every member of the team has full visibility into every project in the space, allowing us to be a highly efficient, nimble team.
- Tagging options make projects easy to find within the workspace, and we've found this helpful when assigning projects to our AGILE sprints.
- Gantt charts quickly identify workload overload, and it helps our team to balance workloads effectively.
- Dashboards are fully customizable for both reports and team management, which we use during our sprint planning sessions.
- Blueprints make duplicating repeated project roadmaps lightening fast, saving time in building road maps for our project managers.
- Building dashboards can be a little tricky, but Wrike's customer service is quick to respond and quite helpful.
- The onboarding videos have been so helpful to our team—I would like a deeper dive into using Dashboards and Reports added to these resources for our team to reference.
- Teams must come to a consensus about which notification settings are a must for ease of communication. We found that if someone only has daily reports turned on and at-mentions silenced, notifications are not as effective.
- There is not currently a way to add images or embedded links in forms. This would be helpful for us as we develop forms for design requests so that recipients can select from different options with a visual.
- When developing forms, there is only an option to include one tag with the ticket/task/project that results. We use multiple tags to keep projects visible in different team folders, so having that option would be quite helpful in saving us the time of tagging requests manually.
Run to Wrike
- organizing projects
- reviewal process for outside (non users)
- blueprints/workflows
- adding people to projects
- request forms.
- Platform overall itself isn't simple. There are a lot of buttons and things going in everywhere
- dashboard views are chaotic
- not pretty/aesthetically pleasing
I found that team members (non creatives) didn't enjoy the platform as much. Aesthetically theres a lot going on and I wouldn't deem it as "easy to use". It took a few weeks to train our team in it and we still felt like we didn't know the entire platform.
Changing the project management game.
- The UX is very intuitive. The fact that there is a search bar means that nothing is ever lost.
- The ability to get really granular with folders is very helpful. I can categorize the different tasks within projects with ease.
- The comment feature within individual tasks makes communication simple. We're always up to date on the status of projects.
- As much as I love the UI, it can be a little overwhelming. An option of viewing a "simplified" version would be wonderful on chaotic days.
Efficient and effective project management software
- Provide a single place for intake of requests
- Streamline and consolidate communication around requests
- Provide metrics on numbers of requests handled and in what timeframe
- Notifications can be a bit overwhelming, but are customizable
- Visual interface is a bit dated
- Time management
- Deadlines
- Milestones
- Efficiency
- update user interface
- combine some features to make it easier
- use AI to understand the process
- 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
Seems to fulfill company needs so far
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
however, it can still work well as a task management and reporting tool even without full company buy in.
Wrike is a leader in Work Management - for good reason!
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
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.
A solid workplace manager
- Ui
- Notification system
- Ease of use
- User pinging
- Due date/calendar syncing
Wrike Review
- project manage
- associate accountability
- clear deadlines
- smoother transition of a project request within a project (when it involves a separate department)
- the learning curve to use initially use wrike
- n/a
Wrike or Airtable?
- Work flow
- Accountability
- Promptness
- More customization
- Replicating common work flows
- Easier to cross path track between tasks
I believe it is less well suited when the task might be part of a larger task and something that needs replication. I do think Wrike is ever improving.
