(1-25 of 43)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 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)
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.
Run Projects anytime anywhere, Collaborate and Conquer
- Accessible over Cloud, work on project update, anytime, anywhere
- The collaboration using the Stream, the annotation to notify users with their acti
- Email reminders on the overdue items and quick update can be done directly from the email which is a cool feature.
- The board views gives 3 options, List, Board and Table. These visuals are helpful in the presentations and also sharing quick updates with Team members
- The ease of downloading in excel and working offline for data insights is very helpful
- Milestones marked are hard to visually notice at a first glance.
- The indents feature in Microsoft Project planner is very powerful as it adjusts dates and timelines automatically under Project Sub-sections easily.
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.
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.
It's pretty easy to understand and control, with a nice task tracking system.
You also have a dashboard to oversee progress and status, with a variety of filters you can apply to better highlight your needs.
- Task management
- Canban
- Gantt view
- Visible clear dashboard
- Automation are missing
- Connection to outer platforms
- Mobile support
In most small companies you can use simpler free solutions that do not require waterfall Gantt control, and compile of not so many team members, and long duration tasks
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.
For tracking time and resources
- You can automate repetitive and sequential workflows. You can create custom workflows with specific rules and triggers so that tasks are automatically assigned, moved to the next stage, or sent notifications.
- You can save time and reduce the chance of human error by eliminating the need for repetitive manual tasks.
- You can track time spent on tasks and projects.
- They can record the hours worked and associate them directly with the corresponding tasks.
- I would like to see Wrike provide a consolidated and comprehensive view of team member availability and workload, as it makes it difficult to accurately and fairly allocate resources.
- While Wrike makes real-time collaboration easy, there may be room to further improve this functionality by adding options like simultaneous editing of shared documents.
- Very flexible planning tool where you can reschedule tasks in the Gantt view by dragging the mouse
- Wrike is both a case tool and an excellent project management tool - all in one
- Wrike have flexible workflows that can be defined for different process flows
- Wrike have excellent configuration abilities for custom fields
- Wrike is great for communication
- Should add features related to test management , then we would not need to use other tools for testing in addition to Wrike.
- More agile features like sprints and stories
evaluating Wrike
- gantt chart
- notification
- When you update an activity, its planning date should be that, if you don't move it, it doesn't appear on the correct date.
Great Project Management Platform
For my team, Wrike is a project management platform that has been a great tool to distribute work, accessing real-time data, and customize accordingly.
- Plan agile projects, track deadline and deliver results
- Track progress and monitor multiple projects at a time
- View team workloads and relocate tasks to avoid burnout
- Delayed notifications from some integrations
- Lack of a chat option
- The default task status filter hides completed tasks, and users must manually change the filter to include them
While Wrike allows comments on tasks within the context of work, users have to rely on third-party integrations such as Slack for easier communication.
Wrike makes big campaigns a breeze to manage!
- Organizing content creation with creative/graphics teams to support research activities such as social recruitment ads, survey header images, and incentive images
- Organizing and launching surveys to our entire user database. Including coordination of terms and conditions, email copy, mailing lists, translations, and analysis.
- Commenting on documents
- Automating workflows around project creation
- Project management
- Navigation and grouping of projects and tasks
- version tracking
- allowing non-account owners to submit requests
Recommend for an Agile Environment
- share process progression
- sharing links from other websites
- project update reports
- the facing is a little off.
- you have to do too much eye movement across the screen to run reports. easy to loose your train of thought
Wrike Project Management Tool Review
- Project Management
- Calendar View
- Notifying Stakeholders of Changes
- Separate Workspaces
- Holistic View
- Making automated or always on tasks easier to implement
- Creating multiple different tasks at once
If it's a quick change or update, Wrike is not ideal and I would use chat to communicate with separate stakeholders
Solutions that fit your team's needs
- User friendly platform
- Linking tasks/requests with the calendar
- Personalize your view however you want it
- Accessing subtasks more easily
You can see the whole picture at a glance with the graphics and images that the tool offers.
You can combine your process intake to create better efficiency and productivity so there is always room for improvement.
- I am able to create my own customizeable intake form that team members use to alert other users of incoming projects along with project details.
- The platform allows you to tag other users and share work (pdf's, creative files, diagrams...) in a collaborative way.
- Allows users to view upcoming projects and items linked to their deadlines in a consolidated calendar view.
- The ability to customize user permissions and roles based on technical acumen would help improve access across the platform.
- The user interface and the ability to view a calendar with upcoming deliverables in the same view as a project task list would help improve efficiences.
- Having a lookback view to be able to track changes of when a user changed a due date or changed a project name would be nice to be able to revert back to a past view in a given project.
Wrike and its benefits to our team
- Integration with other applications
- Project Management
- Process management
- Resource Management
Great alignment tool
- Organization for internal communication
- Scheduling of priority tasks
- Feedback on important reviews
- User Interface interaction
- Integrations into other platforms
- Flow of information from task to task
- Not knowing the workload of the different teams
- Not having control of all the tasks we had to create to achieve our KPIs
- Slow and cumbersome bi-weekly programming
- Over 700h of backlog of tasks
- Difficulty in managing urgencies and priorities
- The interface is great, being able to see a project both as kanban, as a table, as a list, as a gantt, and broken down by resources is fantastic.
- The simplicity with which the platform allows you to set up projects, dashboards and reports.
- It is a very good tool to monitor workloads and all the activities to be performed.
- Automation Engine - it would be great to have more triggers and actions available.
- Standard reporting is already interesting. To get advanced reports, you need to pay a higher subscription. It would be useful to have some more reports.
- Native Integrations are few, and the associated software to activate many of them is expensive and very difficult.
- I'd love some WYSWYG integration.
- Follow up functionality
- Workflows
- Issue tracking
- notifications
- Sometimes I find that there is too much information in an item, especially around product design stuff. It's probably more of an internal issue, but it would be great if it was easy to view historical changes easily so that people didn't feel like it was necessary to leave everything in a task, even if it's outdated.
- Better table functionality including the ability to add functions/calculations
- Templated cleanup scripts -- Like out of the box notifications on items that haven't been touched in xx number of months.
However, this leads to a ton of duplicated items, so some functionality that's smart enough to clean up or combine duplicates would be amazing.
Wrike is your one-stop shop for project management, love it!
- Everything in relation to project management
- Standard and customizable views
- Real-time communication and collaboration

- Custom fields and Custom Item Types

- Nothing really - Wrike has done a top-notch job of staying true and listening to their customers. In 5 years, I have seen them evolve the product and bring to life better features and enhancements. I don't expect a product to be 100% perfect (it really does not exist, I've looked) - I expect flexibility and adaptation to continually improve for future needs and trends, and that is what Wrike does really well.
- Coordination between stakeholder
- Customization of your teams involve in the projects
- Settting up alerts and reminders
- Visualization of the state of the project
- Customization
- Integration with other tools such as Confluent or Jira
- Their App can be improve
Wrike is easy and flexible. Low barrier to entry, but getting the most out of it may take some time.

- Barrier to entry
- Tagging
