Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The use of Wrike was company-wide; Wrike served as the unified platform for all teams, from marketing to finance. As a company with over 3,000 employees, all our processes and projects were managed and organized within Wrike. Personally, in my role, Wrike was heavily utilized for organizing designers' agendas and project management. However, within the system, all teams were able to be served and had their workflow facilitated by Wrike. An extremely positive aspect of the tool is that you can access tasks and requests from other teams. In my previous company, this wasn't possible cause each team used a different platform and tool to control and keep up with their demands, so other teams didn't have free access to it. With Wrike, teams can collaborate on each other's projects without having the trouble of changing systems, it's rare to find a platform structure that can be suitable for all departments like Wrike is.

Alternatives Considered

Trello, Jira Software, Slack and Airtable

Wrike is a great tool across all stages of work. What sets it apart from other platforms is how well it caters to the needs of all types of teams and departments. Being a broader system, it doesn't specialize in any specific area (e.g., finance or design), making it a universal tool for the entire company. This way is easier for different departments to work together or have access to joined projects.

Likelihood to Recommend

Wrike is a great tool for unifying all areas of a company and facilitating communication between different teams. It streamlines workflows and consolidates all work and project information in one place. For project management, the creation of tasks and requests works very well, and the approval process for tasks is also efficient and user-friendly. In my experience, Wrike was one of the easiest tools I've worked with, making my life a little easier by providing one platform for the entire company instead of multiple disjointed tools. However, organizing folders and tasks might be a bit challenging for those who are not as focused on organization. After a few weeks or months when a task is no longer in use, it can be very difficult to find it. The task filters and search functionality could definitely be improved.
