Complex, but Worth it Once You Build the Processes.

Wrike is obviously made for enterprise-level project management and is perhaps too complex of a tool for our size of the team. That said, I can still recommend Wrike because of its flexibility. If you need it to do something, chances are it has the features, and you can customize your workspace/workflows to your needs. We have been able to create highly specific workflows for peculiar and industry-specific tasks that an average Gantt chart or linear process wouldn't be the best solution for. Same with the requested feature, which allows our users to quickly and easily create common tasks that are frequently needed. Overall, I would recommend Wrike if you're looking for something a little more in-depth and are willing to put in the effort to set up your systems and get to a point where the time used in the program is small enough to justify the utility.

Unfortunately, the implementation of Wrike was the reason why it didn't succeed at our company (we will likely be switching services midyear). It was originally slated to be a company-wide adoption but was immediately more useful to our creative team than our sales, engineering, or other project-based teams. Perhaps it was the fact that it seemed like processes outside of the average marketing team project needed custom workflows built, and we didn't have a dedicated employee who was implementing the system. In fact, now that I'm thinking about it more, that was a serious oversight: no dedicated, project-manager-like employee was heading the charge of rollout. Instead, the implementation was a bit of a wild-west, individual affair, so the marketing team ended up primarily using the software.
