Wrike
Overall Satisfaction with Wrike
I'm a Learning Experience Designer on the Talent Development team. We use Wrike to manage the ADDIE cycle of training development, keeping track of tasks, progress, and occasionally looping in stakeholders (although usually that's just via email).
Pros
- It's detailed and has a decent UI.
- The Mac app seems to work well, or at least comparably to the web version.
- Wrike forms function really well for requests.
Cons
- It's over-engineered and there's nothing you can do about it. This prevents my team from using it more frequently. monday.com hits a homerun in this area.
- It's not intuitive enough for simple task creation/to-do lists. I often use Google Sheets because Wrike doesn't allow me to drop most of the unnecessary fields.
- We had to set up an automation to automatically assign new tasks to the person who creates them by default. Otherwise, there'd be no assignee.
- Due to the reasons I mentioned previously in this survey, it offers no return on our overall business objectives.
I have not used these features. Trying to do basic stuff in Wrike and feeling frustrated by its unnecessary number of fields has inhibited my use of the platform.
- monday.com and Asana
monday.com and Asana both offer more straightforward customization and, therefore, simplicity that make them much easier to use for teams like mine who do not typically manage large projects, but instead maintain smaller task lists that are frequently updated.
