Overall Satisfaction with Wrike

Wrike is used by various department managers, supervisors, and executives in our headquarters. We are using Wrike for tracking both daily tasks and long term projects. We have a retail website with thousands of products and 80+ retail locations based around the United States and several international retail locations. Wrike helps us track tasks that would otherwise be difficult to manage, while also helping our organization monitor workflow and progress. Many of our tasks tracked with Wrike involve migrating platforms for our retail website. Without in-depth and functional workflow management software, these myriad tasks would be left to individuals to track through email. Wrike has helped our organization to streamline our processes and meet our goals and deadlines.

Wrike is much more robust, feature rich, and customizable than both Basecamp and Trello. While Board view is very similar to Trello, Wrike is much more adaptable and scaleable than Trello. Trello seems better suited to smaller operations. monday.com is the only project management software that is comparable to the functionality of Wrike. I actually prefer many of the customizations of monday.com to those of Wrike. monday.com also allows many guest accounts that can access the projects, while Wrike limits users. That being said, Wrike excels against monday.com in terms of viewing options and creating reports. I believe either monday.com or Wrike to be excellent fits for our organization, but in terms of individual usability, Wrike is the superior choice for us.
With frequent updates and new features, Wrike's support team seems to work very diligently on providing constant support to the platform. I appreciate the sunsetting of older features to give our team time to prepare for moving over to new features in lieu of losing the support of older, less efficient features. For example, Personal Spaces was an excellent addition to an already feature-rich "My To-Dos" and "Inbox". Being able to link project/department specific tasks into Personal Spaces has increased my own workflow productivity and efficiency quite a bit.

Would you buy Wrike again?

Yes

Long-term project tracking is very functional, but could use several quality of life improvements. It's not as intuitive as we would like when breaking down long-term projects into daily tasks. Individual license permissions seem too limited when compared to the permissions of the Wrike manager. Wrike is, however, quite effective when tracking and managing personal tasks related to specific departments or individuals. Our organization also appreciates the many workflow view options. While I prefer Board view, my supervisor prefers List view, and our project management team leader prefers table view. We all have different view preferences, but they do not interfere with workflow or efficiency. In fact, the option to change these views lends itself to increased productivity due to catering to individual preferences.
