Overall Satisfaction with Wrike

I work in an organization that provides education to insurance professionals. My work team uses Wrike to manage educational/academic product development, including textbooks, and other course materials. A typical use of Wrike on our team is to manage a project to create and publish a new textbook, or to do a revision on an existing textbook. As with all publishing projects, there are multiple moving parts to manage as the manuscrip is created and transitioned from a draft stage to a finished product.
  • The timeline view enables us to schedule project tasks easily so that we can maximize the use of resources in our department
  • The daily "todo" e-mail is a good tool to help me jumpstart my work day by reminding me of tasks that have been scheduled.
  • The folder list is easy to browse and update.
  • I find the built in time tracker awkward to use.
  • The timeline does not seem that printer friendly but looks ok displayed on screen
  • The dashboard view is confusing for me since there is a lot of information displayed but doesn't seem intuitive
  • Better tracking of project deadlines
  • Better sharing of information among team members with regards to project status etc.
  • Better scheduling of tasks to maximize resources (e.g. the submitting of editorial copy to production department)
Wrike was easier to start using and features were more approachable/intuitive for me than MindJet MindManager. I am more of a linear thinker than a visual thinker, so the feature about making Mindmaps to plan out projects was not intuitive for me. Wrike has a number of different display options for viewing project information so should appeal to a variety of types of thinkers.

I did not select Wrike for my team but it seems to be working well. I would suggest that it is suitable for teams where people are comfortable using web-based solutions.

Using Wrike

Wrike is accomplishing the job I want it to. I have no desire to explore other products at this time. Also, have no desire to spend the time implementing or mastering other products, when the current solution is doing the job adequately. If it aint broke...
