Overall Satisfaction with Wrike

In Marketing, we use Wrike as our project management software. It's intuitive and customizable and lets everyone involved in the project know about the status of the project along with deadlines. Marketing managers assign both writing or editing and design elements in each request, and it's easy to follow the path of the project. We used to use SharePoint for this. Wrike is infinitely better and more helpful.
  • Keeps detailed timelines
  • Lets people divide projects into different parts (writing, design)
  • Notification system is outstanding. You get notified via your work email when there's a status update as well as in the app. It's impossible to miss an update.
  • Everyone hates the "rejected" status. There has to be a better word without such a negative connotation.
  • Too many options for customization at some times. It's difficult to figure out what features do and if you actually need them.
  • Multiple notifications can be overwhelming.
  • It's much easier to track the flow of projects.
  • Work gets done faster, allowing people to take on more jobs.
  • Each person knows exactly what they need to do and when it needs to be done by.
Wrike is better in every possible way. It's so detailed and thought-out. Using SharePoint for project management was a nightmare.

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?

Yes

Would you buy Wrike again?

Yes

It's a perfect system for assigning projects with multiple components involving different people. Everyone knows the status of the project at every step.

This might just be in our office, but if a marketing manager needs me to proof something in a hurry, it would be easier for them to just email it to me so I can get on it rather than having to enter everything in Wrike.

Using Wrike

100 - We use it throughout marketing in all phases of the department.
12 - They're from each section of the department so they're familiar with the issues their colleagues might be dealing with.
  • Project management
  • Time management
  • Keeping all parts of the job together in one assigment
It's easy to use and I doubt there's anything better out there.
