Overall Satisfaction with Wrike

Not everyone in the company uses Wrike, but our particular wing does, and more and more people are starting to. We use Wrike for program planning, project planning, task planning, task assignment, service work order requests, procurement work order requests, vacation requests. We use the Gantt charts for program planning and planning in our respective departments. We create personal dashboards to help us see what tasks and subtask are in our queue, working on, completed, and past due. We write updates for each task we're working on so that our managers and program planners can see what's going on if they're in a meeting or looking at timing.
  • Collaboration in Projects and Tasks.
  • Program Gantts Are Visible All the Time, Don't Need to Contact the Program Planner.
  • Customizable
  • There is no ability to show Gantt for one specific task and subtask from the task box. It would be nice if there was an option to quickly be able to do this to highlight one particular task/project timeline.
  • Toggle in settings to show the location field at the top of a task like it used to.
  • Can edit the date when looking at all the subtasks in a task, but not the status. This would save so many clicks for me.
  • Allows program planners to track program progress better because the people doing the work are updating the dates.
  • Better resource management, and everyone knows what they're going to be working on.
I haven't used this program a lot, but from what I remember, it wasn't as easy or intuitive. It may have had more functionality if you're a power user, but I wasn't. I also remember that program planners had to share paper copies for all of us to know what was going on, which got outdated fast.

Do you think Wrike delivers good value for the price?

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

Wrike is well suited for program planning and longer-term task planning. I don't find it helpful for tracking tasks that take 5 minutes or less because it clutters my dashboard. It would be nice if there was a reminders or quick task list that would be separate from the other tasks. For example, you could set dates/times to do a 5 minute task. Right now, I'm still using physical sticky notes for this.
