Overall Satisfaction with Wrike
We had a manual system of assigning and jobs to creatives, with no insight into where a project was at any point. All conversations were in email, so unless you were cc'd, you were out of luck. When someone was sick, it was impossible for the rest of us to see where that person was on the project. Tracking was pretty much nonexistent.
- Assigns project numbers to projects
- Neatly organizes tasks for projects for smooth workflow
- Easily allows for deadlines to be set and approvals to be made
- Communication with others is as simple as an "@"
- Tracking billable and nonbillable time is a cinch
- Sometimes it appears the time tracker is on after you have paused it; a page refresh fixes this
- When you mark yourself out for PTO, it automatically adds the same amount of days to your project deadline
- On rare occasion, I have submitted a comment to someone, and it appears in the feed, but next time I got back, it's no longer in the feed, still waiting as if it needing to be submitted
- I don't have numbers, but after Marketing implemented it, so did the rest of the departments in our organization.
- Thus, it has made collaboration across departments (and communication regarding those projects) smooth.
- I know it saves everyone time. Not just in day-to-day work, but also in determining project status and locating past files and documents.
- Our productivity would plummet if we got rid of Wrike.
As mentioned in a previous answer, I don't know how our department of 100 people
strong ever functioned without it. That said, going without it was better than
going with Workamajig and other options we tried, which were not intuitive at
all. Workamajig in particular was a wretched beast. We had one person assigned to vet it and learn it, and then she trained all of us on it. Every team member hated it. We'd sit down to open a project and be lost, as if training had not occurred. I cannot remember the two other programs we tried. I want to say InTask was it, which would have been passable at the time, but not as our department scaled heavily.
