Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Wrike to manage our proposal workload within our marketing team which was roughly 15 people. We also used Wrike to track onboarding for new hires, project milestones for capturing information and photography, and event planning.

Pros and Cons

Automation of project with subtask generation
Reporting at end of the year
Collaboration platform for teams

Ease of navigation in the holistic platform
Sometimes it felt too cumbersome
cost - we ended up moving to monday.com as a company

Return on Investment

Being able to report out the workload for the department at the EOY
Being able to track personal tasks as well
Being able to track project milestones

Alternatives Considered

monday.com, Slack and Microsoft Planner

I was personally a Wrike fan and brought it over to our company from my previous firm but our company ultimately moved over to monday.com last year due to pricing and seats.

Likelihood to Recommend

Wrike was great for team workload management being able to log in and quickly see who had capacity and who was overloaded with tasks. The system was obviously only as helpful as our teams made it by inputting their tasks. Would be awesome if it interacted with our CRM that tracked opportunities.
