Overall Satisfaction with Wrike

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Wrike for my own personal to-do list. I use the program to keep track of what Items I need to do personally. Wrike has not been implemented team-wide, but it is a program I like to use for my personal needs. Wrike is a program that I like, but do not love, for a few reasons that I will get into later in my review.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Project manament
To-Do tracking
Reminders for specific Items

Cons

Team capabilities in the free version
Ability to automate tasks to be sent to other users
Cost prohibitive

Return on Investment

Personal to do tracking
Project management
Reminders for due dates

AI and Automation

Since the AI features were released, I have not used the program. Additionally, the AI features are all behind a paywall, preventing free users like me from trying them. I wish they had more available in the free version to see what is possible in the paid version and the potential it could have.

Usability

Wrike is able to do this, similar to how a lot of other programs are able to. Wrike is API compatible and is able to connect to just about anything using Zapier. I do like their focus on various project methods to build their workflows around, rather than just having people develop workflows from scratch.

Alternatives Considered

Trello

Wrike hides a lot of its best features behind a paywall. I could not even have additional users with my account, so when the time came to look into my team getting on other platforms, since platforms like Trello had a lot of free features available to us. That is why my team ended up on Trello with a paid account.

Likelihood to Recommend

Wrike hides a lot of its best features behind a paywall. For an individual looking for a living to-do list that's not just Apple Notes, this is a great option. Wrike hides most things behind a paywall, which is why the rest of my team ended up on another platform because they got us in with the free features.

Good program but paywall blocks best features
