Overall Satisfaction with Wrike

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Wrike for all projects, campaigns, and tasks. It allows us to be on the same page, coordinate, and streamline requests. For example, all email or creative needs must come through a Wrike ticket before they can be worked on. This ensures that we are following one system/process and not accidentally silo-ing our efforts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Project management.
Calendaring.
Tasks.
Dashboards.

Cons

Planning campaigns - it's not a great tool for marketing plans.
Easier request templates (or provide more templates).
Creative brief templates.
Auto create multi tasks when copying a list (Asana does this nicely).

Most Important Features

Project planning.
Task tracking.
Dates and deadlines.

Return on Investment

Great, worth the investment so far.

Alternatives Considered

Asana

We switched to Asana because of the project managers. They wanted more robust capabilities and reporting. As an end-user, it has taken me a couple of years to come to appreciate the power. I still think Asana is more intuitive and user-friendly but I really appreciate the power and scale that Wrike provides.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is great when you know what you are doing and simply need to project manage something with your team. Where I think there is room for growth in campaign planning, the collaboration and overlap is harder to see and doesn't feel intuitive to me as an end-user.
