Overall Satisfaction with Wrike
We use Wrike primarily to connect campaign managers with the creative/graphic design teams. We use Wrike as a hub for all active clients, hosting their client terms, graphic requests, and terms. On the day-to-day, my primary use of Wrike is searching for active client folders and submitting requests to the design team, as well as checking in on the status of previous tasks, and delegating specific tasks as necessary.
- It's organization capabilities are unmatched, allowing for us to get as broad or granular as needed with each client
- It keeps you updated in real-time as updates occur with tasks we're attached to, whether through the mobile app, email, or in-platform
- The search function is very intuitive, allowing you to identify the most recent and relevant tasks with minimal keywords necessary
- The biggest improvement could lie in implementing better tools to streamline the development of efficient processes. As it sits, Wrike is only as good as the person who sets it up, and even then, it can become cumbersome as the company expands. Where one process may have made sense for a small institution, carrying that over as an organization grows may not be the most efficient, but it's also difficult to reconstruct the whole platform. So, any tools/in-platform recommendations to streamline this process automatically would help in bounds.
- Wrike has saved me plenty of communication time between designers. Just this quarter alone, feedback/delegation for the tasks I've assigned/managed in Wrike would have cost me several workdays of productivity. Multiply that by the few hundred campaign managers on our team, and Wrike definitely saves organizations a large amount of time and money.
- Asana and monday.com
I've personally used other PM tools, and, while they're pretty similar in functionality, Wrike just feels more intuitive to use on a day to day basis. I find that in Asana and monday, notifications are lackluster, whereas Wrike's notifications are in real-time. I also like that it's possible to assign several people to a given task, something not possible in some other PM tools. When properly constructed, Wrike can significantly tighten up loose ends within a corporation.
