Wrike is a comfortable ally in the workplace
Overall Satisfaction with Wrike
Our marketing department uses Wrike to ingest and track all requests. We have a project flow using a Wrike template for each type of project. With Wrike, we're able to track projects, bring in stakeholders, perform progress reviews, formalize deployment across channels, and then archive the entire process. We can go back and find anything we've done in the past in a 100% centralized fashion.
Pros
- The search engine is incredibly robust and fast.
- Review functions are pleasant and easy to use.
- It helps keep me organized with multiple ways to categorize my tasks.
- It makes me feel accomplished by displaying everything I've gotten done.
Cons
- Responsiveness of both web and desktop versions doesn't run as fast as I think, leaving me to wait on loading screens.
- If a user fails to tag someone, they aren't warned and messages often go unnoticed.
- When I star just a subtask, it doesn't show up in my starred tab. I have to star a cover page or it doesn't work.
- We spend less time getting requests approved and into production.
- There's more collaboration on projects, especially with employees separated overseas.
- We have the ability prove how working hours were spent in the past year.

Wrike Feature Ratings
Using Wrike
10000 - All business functions including Marketing, Channel, Sales, Product Engineering, Product Development, etc. It is used an a universal project hub and archiving tool in Marketing. Vertiv is a multinational company with thousands of employees and Wrike is our project center where all business divisions have a common collaboration area. We've recently expanded with specialized SEO experts who will now also begin using Wrike to optimize Marketing collateral for search results.
2 - We have very few people managing the input request forms in Wrike. It's purposely centralized to prevent unexpected process changes. The type of person most able to support Wrike is an organizational expert who can quickly execute organizational changes. This person or persons would also be familiar with all of Wrike's functions and direct people toward solutions that best solve their issues, such as the Dashboards view as a single area to view one's projects by task status.

Yes - I often have trouble navigating the mobile versions the same way as I do the desktop version. They feel like two very different architectures. I try to use the desktop version as much as possible to avoid the mobile version's limitations.
