Great for coordinating content creation with a remote team
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.
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.
