Overall Satisfaction with Wrike

We use Wrike to schedule virtually all inter-departmental projects including email campaigns, social media campaigns, updates to our website, database maintenance jobs, etc. Anything that requires communication between departments.
  • Emails updates when someone else @ mentions you inside a project task
  • Allows you to see when others have completed their tasks so you can begin yours
  • Maintains an archive of completed projects
  • When I click into a task, it is not always easy to find my way back to the project level
  • When I clone a project for the next one, it is hard to control which aspects get cloned and which I want to populate with new information
  • I don't really know how to get an overall view of my to dos
  • Sometimes I am given access to a project, but not sub-tasks or attachments, which is annoying.
  • I don't think that I can say Wrike has been particularly good or bad for our business. You need some project management tool, and this is the one we have chosen.
  • Our IT department has all of the Wrike tickets ported over to Jira for them to work there. I'm not sure why we don't all just use Jira to save this transferring.
I did not select Wrike. It was in use when I arrived. I actually find it easier to organize and search for projects and tasks in Jira rather than Wrike. However, Wrike does seem to do a better job of reminding me when there are tasks that others have assigned to me that I am supposed to be doing.

Do you think Wrike delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Wrike's feature set?

No

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?

No

To me, seems well suited for repetitive projects, like creating an email blast or a set of social media assets. Less well suited to unique projects where you can't clone an old project or template.
