Overall Satisfaction with Wrike

An excellent and in depth way to keep track of your tasks and projects from a vary granular way, to a 1000 ft view. Wrike can do it all! We use Wrike at our marketing agency to help keep track of our projects from a strategy pre-production standpoint all the way to posting and analysis follow up. Wrike helps us keep track of our time and how closely we are managing tasks to hit the timelines we created for ourselves.
  • Time Management
  • Creating template workflows
  • Logging, messaging, and collaboration
  • Internal and external material review
  • Report Generation
  • Budget Analysis
  • Overdue task tracking
  • Quick time tracking for many tasks throughout that day that only take 10 minutes to do
  • navigating hundreds of tasks at once
  • Wrike has helped us keep track of how long parts of our process have taken.
  • Wrike has shown us that time tracking quick tasks for many differing accounts is tedious and we have abandoned using it for that.
  • Wrike works well for employees who are working on tasks for many hours throughout the day.
  • Wrike has positively empowered our people to hold others accountable and to keep them on track
  • File sharing and review with Wrike has been a great thing
  • Wrike has dashboards that make it quick and simple to see where each employee is in their workflow/workload and to have a fast overview of each projects pace in regards to completion rate and also capacity.
  • Wrike helps us see all the different projects that an account has currently in progress in a simple way
So Wrike is a great blend of the functionality of Basecamp and Trello. Basecamp is a good time/date stamp on messaging internally and externally. Trello is a slick way to drag and drop tasks in a workflow and to check them off when they are complete. Both of the competitors handle asset upload and reviews, but Wrike is much more friendly to people how want to create repeatable task lists or blueprints that we can follow again and again and also our management team likes it for report running and overview management. Wrike does a good job of logging conversations and we can show them to our clients and customers as a point of reference.

Did implementation of Wrike go as expected?

No

Would you buy Wrike again?

Yes

If you and your team have many repeatable tasks where you know what to expect, and you have the capacity to create a template "blueprint" for these repeatable tasks then Wrike is for you. If you don't have the time allocated to make sure you properly setup your workflows then Wrike isn't for you.
If you have one off tasks that crop up and you can quickly get them done and need a way to track them well then Wrike is for you.
You can make this product as in-depth or surface level as you want. However if you don't want to spend the time to learn how to setup this software, you will be scratching your head wondering if you can justify the cost of it. It does require company wide buy in to the idea of doing the initial work to make it function for you. There are templates that they give you to use initially, but you have to tweak them to make it more perfectly fit your given scenario. You do have to do the work.

Using Wrike

2 - You need to have people to create your project templates and also someone to keep up with new features that Wrike adds to make your workflow faster and more efficient. You can absolutely be trained on Wrike and keep using it the same way after your training, but they do roll out new and quicker ways to log your projects and tasks.

I wish that Wrike had more drag and drop functionality that would be connected to assignee and also I wish that the finish date of a task would update to the date where you checked completed. It does not do that.
Also finishing a task doesn't move the start date of the next task it "protects your time in that way", but our management team wants us to quickly see what we have down the pipeline rather than having to scroll down the list of upcoming tasks.
