Overall Satisfaction with Wrike

As a content writer working with graphic designers to produce digital and print marketing pieces for a university, Wrike allows us to share, review, comment, and edit our work easily and effectively. We precious used Jira, which was not at all optimized for those tasks. Wrike, however, has been a phenomenal tool, and we have become much more efficient as a team because of it. Wrike solves the problems associated with sharing large file sizes.

Pros

  • Keeps projects on track
  • Provides tools that make editing and reviewing tasks much easier
  • Helps our team work effectively and efficiently despite many of us being remote workers
  • Visually accessible on multiple platforms which makes it easy to do work from anywhere

Cons

  • Automation bot: Wrike alerts us when a deadline is approaching, but the alert is often at midnight. I think it would be more effective for the alert to go off at 8 a.m. This may already be a changeable feature, so I apologize if this is redundant.
  • The Wrike document editor has a preference for using the desktop app instead of a browser, and in order for it to work in a browser, I have to uninstall and reinstall the editing software. This is a bit of a pain. I know it can be solved by me using the desktop app of Wrike, but I don't always want to do that. If there is any way to make this more effective it would greatly benefit my life.
  • Wrike has made us work much more efficiently as a team. I can't say what kind of budget impact that has had because I don't deal with those numbers, but I know the efficiency on time has made it easier for me personally because I have a better work-life balance around stressful projects because Wrike makes it easier to get done faster and effectively.
I avoid using AI services, in Wrike and on other apps, as much as I can. At this point, AI in general makes my job take longer. I am a writer, so I am incredibly efficient at writing, so AI doesn't offer me much benefit in that situation. As far as automation features, the Wrike automation bot is very helpful at reminding me of things. That said, I don't have a clear understanding of the differences between AI and automation, so my comments here might not be relevant or accurate to the question you're asking me.
It's easy as pie to use. I don't have any issues and only the oldest, most un-tech savvy of coworkers on my team seems to have issues with it. It's quick to pick up, intuitive, and effective. I have no criticism for it.
Jira did not at all help us get our work done as content creators. I think that was because Jira wasn't quite right for our uses. Wrike fits our needs so much better. I can't tell you enough the relief I felt when we adopted Wrike and I never had to use Jira again.

Do you think Wrike delivers good value for the price?

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?

Yes

Wrike is well-suited for content creation, review, and management. I can't speak to other types of work it can be suitable for because I use it as a writer only, but I would recommend it to other people in content creation fields who have to work with a team. A friend of mine is an editor at the local newspaper, and I think some features of Wrike would make her editing tasks a little easier and promote more cohesion in her team.
