Overall Satisfaction with Wrike

This is a cross-departmental tool used to manage larger projects, including software implementation or upgrades, large transactions, and other enterprise-level projects with team members across departments. A small number for superusers manage the project blueprint and assign tasks based on that blueprint. Users are expected to update their protect lists once each week on the day before weekly meetings to address open projects.
  • Aggregate many users’ progress updates
  • Visually display multiple projects
  • Allow for in-app communication
  • Wish it had better integration with the Microsoft Office Suite, especially Teams and Outlook
  • Wish it integrated better with contract lifecycle management products
  • Looking forward [to] a unified audit log for individual projects that could be stored for historical purposes
  • Very complex for individual use
  • Ease of updating progress
  • Unified project list
  • Hard to say. Keeps meetings organized.
Asana is a product I use personally that I find compares favorably with Wrike. Wrike met security standards that satisfies our tech department and is a robust tool, but Asana has a more user friendly interface and is more intuitive. Wrike is likely more powerful but has limited integration, which I’d expect from a premium product like this.

Great for unifying many team members across departments on complex projects. The tool requires a good deal of education to become a super user and is not as user friendly as some freemium products, like Asana. The app is not as robust as the web based platform. If you’ve got the bandwidth to learn a complicated product, it’s great. If you must rely on others to learn it, I might choose a less sophisticated product.
