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 app functionality and ease of seeing the different functionalities parsed equally on the screen with consistent menu access to shift between areas."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"The ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"In the dashboard, you have a perfect overview to all assigned, to do, and overdue tasks and in activity stream, you get news about the work that is done in your team."
"Wrike has allowed us to collaborate with ease and to be able to communicate expectations quickly not only internally but also to external contributors."
"The interface is very user-friendly, and now that they have fixed the way to add a new folder, it is even more user-friendly."
"By creating a custom dashboard with daily priorities employees stay motivated and efficient."
"Great way for our employees to send in project requests/ideas and then for us to be able to prioritize and schedule them."
"It's easy and it's simple: create your task, assign it to your teammates, tag them, ask them for task updates, all in a few simple steps."
"In our company, we heavily rely on Wrike. Wrike has helped in communication, managing all sorts of projects and tasks, and having a history of all our correspondence items."
"While it sounds a little cliche, I haven't found something that I wanted to do or organize that I couldn't do on Wrike."
 

Cons

"Formalized area to store contact information indexed in a way that can pre-populate other areas would be helpful."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"I would love to have a more user friendly layout of the page in order to understand all those important features that will help me."
"I would like to see a way of implementing a project scope as currently it is just folders, tags and tasks."
"Wrike is the best only when you minimize the screen, as the letters can become too small to read."
"Wrike currently has no budgeting capabilities."
"The mobile interface really needs work. It's hard to navigate and find tasks or folders/projects."
"The response from the website is a little bit slow, and the tool is too expensive for a small team."
"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."
"More options in the "basic" paid version would be nice."
