Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a consulting company that uses Wrike to manage our client's projects. We have about 150 projects and 30 collaborators spread all over the globe and with Wrike we can track the progress, timeline, time allocation, and budget of for these projects.

Pros and Cons

Use the timesheet function to track time spent on each project
Create tasks and assign people and deadlines to each one
Track project costs and expenses

The dashboard function is not really useful for our projects since we can't really use the custom fields to build them.
It would be nice if the reports generated could be converted into graphs in Wrike
I wish we had the option of customizing which custom fields are to appear on the face of each project

Return on Investment

Reduced 6% of projects exceeding the budget

Alternatives Considered

Trello and Microsoft Project

Wrike is more user friendly than Microsoft Project and has more features like the custom fields than Trello.

Likelihood to Recommend

Wrike is well suited to track tasks and check if they were completed or if they are late. It is not very efficient when tracking clients and although it could be used as a simple CRM, it doesn't offer useful automation.

Also, it would be nice if it could be integrated with CRM platforms for small business like Active Campaign
