Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization uses Wrike for project management and task requests for our marketing team and web management team. This tool is also used for knowledge base management for marketing activities and approvals. Wrike supports a lot of project management styles such as waterfall, list, and kanban/agile workflows, which makes it nice for working with a diverse team.

Pros and Cons

Varied, easy to access features
Varied project management options
Good knowledge base and community support

Price per user is high, so supporting more non-user collaboration would make it more accessible for people who only need to be notified of Wrike activities.
Minor bugs in the timeline view
More transparency with development roadmap

Return on Investment

Less loss of time from the communication
Better knowledge retention
Saved cost by not having prices go over time or cost
Internal transparency of work

Alternatives Considered

JIRA Software, Asana, Teamwork Projects and Trello

Wrike is the closest to a full force Microsoft Project in the cloud, in addition to supporting multiple workflows for different project management types. More complex than Asana and Trello, but easier for users compared to JIRA.

Likelihood to Recommend

Wrike is best suited for companies looking to support a few power users who need a cloud-based version of Microsoft project. Less beneficial for lots of low-intensity users due to the per-user cost.
