Featured Reviews

Abenazzer Tadesse - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Operations Officer at BeOnline ICT
An easy-to-use project management solution with good stability and scalability
The recent update on the solution has made it a little bit complex. For example, to create a team and a project, there is a separate button that you need to click. Recently they updated it with only one button making it difficult for us to create teams or supply teams other than a project. Hence the solution could be more user-friendly. Additionally, some additional features need to be integrated so it'll be easy for other companies or project managers to manage software projects.
Awadhesh Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Manager at NebuFlow
Easy to tag people and has a form system to collect information but cannot work in multiple channels simultaneously
There are several areas where Wrike could improve. First, it doesn't allow accessing multiple channels simultaneously, which would be useful. Transferring data from one project to another is also difficult. It would be easier to work on parallel tasks across different projects. I've noticed others facing similar issues when I check the chat on their website. The tool should also improve coordination between external stakeholders and collaborators. It should also integrate financial features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ease of use is valuable."
"The ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"The app functionality and ease of seeing the different functionalities parsed equally on the screen with consistent menu access to shift between areas."
"The ability to assign and reassign tasks to multiple stakeholders, time tracking, project completion."
"This is a good tool for project progress tracking and sharing tasks with internal and external parties."
"With Wrike we’re able to keep task and projects on track because everything is super visible, updates or questions are able to be handled in real time due to the way Wrike captures update data and when tasks or projects run late everyone involved can see it and adjust accordingly."
"Wrike is excellent at being customized for use and project management."
"Wrike is so easy to get started with and so responsive that it is much easier to get team members to make it part of the workflow."
"Wrike was the only one in our price range that has a complete feature set for those managing projects our size."
"I can see at a glance what assignments are in process, who they are assigned too, and it basically saves me a lot of time and confusion trying to keep track of everyone and their workloads."
"Wrike has made it easy to get people to participate, because it's very user friendly."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Formalized area to store contact information indexed in a way that can pre-populate other areas would be helpful."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"The dataset that can be exported and built-in reports/dashboards needs improvement."
"The reoccurring tasks feature needs to be improved."
"We feel that the actual project reports and roll-ups could be a lot different. We are seeking something more for the dashboard. We would like a high-level dashboard that can be broken down into individual product roll-ups and tasks that are assigned. If you assign someone to a task, it assigns them all of the tasks under that. We want to be able to break those down so that a person doesn't have an 800 task list, for example. We want more separation with that and a higher-level dashboard experience."
"Sometimes, since it's in the cloud, information isn't updated as fast as you need it to be."
"The response from the website is a little bit slow, and the tool is too expensive for a small team."
"The customer service is great, but it is not perfect but they really help you."
"We faced a lot of issues with the mobile application, especially with the iOS version."
"The main concern was about the management of task and how easy it is to use the tool."
