Overall Satisfaction with Wrike

We use it for end to end project management for marketing, and learning development.

It addresses the need for visibility, standardisation, and all the standard features associated with project work.

In particular the ability to use blueprints significantly speeds up workflow set up and execution, and the ability to view projects in board, table, and card views is very useful.
  • Reformatting the data into different views
  • Advanced features including blueprints, forms, automation
  • Advanced project and resource mangement using gantt charts, linked tasks, etc
  • Wrike is very technical and complex, simplifying the user experience should be priority 1
  • There is a lack of clarity in how to find certain things, sometimes it takes me 5 minutes to remember where blueprints, forms, and automation are found, each is in a different place buried in menus
  • Wrike has helped us to ensure our marketing and L&d projects are delivered on time, on budget, collaboratively
  • Wrike has helped us establish Agile processes and mindset, through continuous improvement workflows, e.g. Kanban
  • Wrike has given us a central place to manage projects and collaborate, simplifying our needs and reducing licensing costs on other tools
Smartsheet is more useful overall for business process, and Trello and Asana are simpler tools.

We selected Wrike as it had the right blend of functionality for our needs at the time.

In future we may review this, as we have access to many tools, and need to ensure we are simplifying for licensing costs, however currently Wrike is meeting our project management needs.

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?

Yes

Did implementation of Wrike go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Wrike again?

No

Wrike is great if you already have good project management rhythms, and an agile coach or owner of the workflows who understands Wrike in depth.

If all you need is a simple task board, with basic project management features, there are better tools to use, for example Trello.
