Overall Satisfaction with Wrike

My team builds and maintains large websites for marketing purposes, and we use Wrike to keep track of projects and routine maintenance tasks. Most of our projects are managed waterfall, but we also do some agile work as well. Every employee is responsible for checking Wrike multiple times a day and keeping their assignment tickets updated. As a project manager, I am the one who creates and maintains almost all the assignment tickets.
  • Giving people many ways to visualize and filter information
  • Customizable input forms
  • Easy export to spreadsheets
  • We should be able to calculate a project's percentage complete based on completed hours of effort divided by total hours of effort.
  • There are always weird little stability bugs that come and go from week to week.
  • Wrike runs very slowly when you are also in a Google or Zoom meeting.
  • Customizability
  • Many ways to visualize and filter information
  • Ability to add up hours of effort per person per week
  • This tool has freed up several hours per week for each of the managers in our organization
Basecamp was not serving our needs well, which is why we switched to Wrike

Not sure

Are you happy with Wrike's feature set?

Yes

Did Wrike live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Wrike go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Wrike again?

Yes

It works well for scheduling and assigning tasks as part of waterfall or agile style projects. It's generally reliable for coordinating the work of distributed teams. It needs some work in terms of making the hours-of-effort functionality more useful across all the other features of Wrike. Speed and stability could use improvement as well.
