Cons
- Nothing really - Wrike has done a top-notch job of staying true and listening to their customers. In 5 years, I have seen them evolve the product and bring to life better features and enhancements. I don't expect a product to be 100% perfect (it really does not exist, I've looked) - I expect flexibility and adaptation to continually improve for future needs and trends, and that is what Wrike does really well.
- We saved hundreds of hours by moving away from manual spreadsheets and tracking for status sheets or client-facing reports
- We have real-time collaboration, nothing sits and waits in emails
- We simplified our overall processes by using Request forms and automations
- When someone requests new work - we get all the critical intake information answered upfront. Now we don't have lost time on back and forth emails or unnecessary meetings
- We can track and monitor all our internal review process for auditing purposes
I could list a ton more... but in reality, what has been a nice trend in this industry is that the top competing platforms with Wrike, all have adapted and added very similar features, things that didn't exist 5 years ago, are commonplace today among these listed. I would say, that what sets Wrike apart beyond features and functionality - is, hands down, Wrike Support and the tools they provide to make learning Wrike really easy. From Wrike Discover to the Wrike Community to their Stars and Ambassador programs, and their help tools - they are amazing at supporting their clients and helping them achieve goals. I really value the partnership they have brought to the table and maintained for over 5 years now

Wrike Feature Ratings
Wrike Mobile App
With the mobile app - I am able to work remotely (or multitask, such as train people) and still be on top of all my work, and receive notifications. Teams appreciate that they can review files on the go, or even use the inbox which is now AI configured to bring the top items to the top - so I know what to address first!
I would be lost without my dashboards!! But my dashboard only work, because the entire setup is based on blueprints, and standardized ways of working - which make it SOOO easy to report in the way I need!
honestly, it's the whole package - some tools do one thing well, or a few things well. Wrike does it all!! Notifications, In task collaboration, request forms, dashboards, blueprints, AI Copilot, AI Agents, Automations, Calendars, Reports, Kanban - if you can dream it - you can build it in Wrike! This is a system you are going to WANT to know how to use it better and better every day, its worth your time and your investment!
Able to check on work, any time and any place. Also connects to my Apple watch - so that is a double bonus!
We cross promote using Wrike across Browser, Desktop, Mobile, Team apps as much as possible - this allows users to work in the way they like to work, all the while - ensuring they are connected and collaborating with their team!
Wrike Implementation
- Implemented in-house
Yes - We ran a pilot for about 1 month
2-3 Months of Optimizations, Planning, addiitional Discovery
1-2 month for launch and post-launch activities
2-3 Months of Optimizations, Planning, addiitional Discovery
1-2 month for launch and post-launch activities
Change management was a big part of the implementation and was well-handled - SHORTEN training. I worked with an internal team to develop the training plan. I'm sure Wrike would have offered a different approach. So I have adapted over the years - to refine training curiculum - to more consumable time spends!
- Understanding Roles and Responsibilities
- Getting the team to agree on the approach (mapping our processes)
Wrike Support
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
Quick Resolution Good followup Knowledgeable team Problems get solved Kept well informed No escalation required Immediate help available Support understands my problem Support cares about my success Quick Initial Response | None |
Yes - we have too many users for me to support by myself (~2,000)
Yes - Yep - absolutely - not everything CAN be fixed (when they are more "feature" requests vs true bugs) -
I recall a time when Wrike launched a new feature - some of our users found this disruptive - so I reported it to Wrike and within 20 mins they not only reverted our account back, they also scheduled a call directly with their product team - so that they could understand how our use case worked, what our needs were. They have taken this hand-in listening approach for YEARS - it is truly what separates them from everyone else
