Overall Satisfaction with Wrike

We use Wrike to manage marketing projects and product development. It is mainly used by marketing, product development, and the executive team. It is really great at keeping a record of activities so we can go back and remember why certain decisions were made. It also holds every member of the team accountable.
  • Notifications: These are great for keeping everyone in the loop regarding projects that are managing.
  • Organization: The subtasks feature is very great at keeping all of the steps of a project in one area.
  • Integration: It is easy to keep tasks up to date by using their email feature.
  • The Gantt charting needs some work.
  • The lists of what tasks are assigned to you can get long and daunting because it shows up in this list no matter how far out it is scheduled.
  • The update emails don't have enough information to always know which task the update is related to. To fix this you have to put the name of the parent task in the subtasks.
  • Faster project completion
  • More transparency regarding work load
  • Basecamp,Asana
Wrike is the best entry level project management tool I've used. It blows Asana and Basecamp out of the water. It allows for the same level of complexity that Asana grants, but still looks nice and is fairly easy to use. BaseCamp is far too simple to use on the projects we work on. Wrike allows for complex projects while being as easy to use as Basecamp.
Wrike is great for one off projects. It doesn't work well for ongoing projects or recurring projects. Highly complex Gantt charting is tough.
