VishalSingh11 - PeerSpot reviewer
Director BPM at a marketing services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Has resources management and timesheets but could be more flexible
Compared to Broadcom Clarity, there was some flexibility with blueprints, etc. You can create a blueprint for different business groups or different customers. Planview AdaptiveWork doesn't have something like that. If they can build up something like a view price. It's still a traditional way where you have to create different instances for different customers. The PPM solution uses queries if I'm rolling out for different divisions. In that case, I have to create different instances for each region because each division may have a different look and feel. But if I have a blueprint, then it's very convenient. I can create multiple interfaces for different processes. Broadcom Clarity has some access control on those viewpoints.
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.

Pros

"Slide Publisher has been a lifesaver for us; it saves us five to 10 hours a week."
"Clarizen's reporting features have been critical."
"I like the project management solution. It's really nice."
"Clarizen's strength is reporting. Aside from reporting, I also like the ability to create customized workflow and custom actions. The workflow rules are handy. For example, you can create custom fields and dependent picklists."
"The feature that has improved our project planning the most is the ability to create custom workflows, which allows us to automate manual tasks that project managers need to perform. The collaboration feature enhances our team's productivity by allowing individuals to see the impact of their decisions on projects owned and managed by other teams."
"Clarizen Slide Publisher has helped increase transparency and communication with project stakeholders for us."
"Provides visibility into employee utilization, progress on specific client projects and a portfolio view of all programs."
"Wrike's Gantt charts are great for project management and super simple to implement and use."
"Wrike provides us with this system in an intuitive, robust platform that is beautiful to look at."
"Wrike is a great collaboration tool."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Wrike is the tag functionality."
"Wrike is a powerful tool to make a project a success, in my own opinion, for small and medium projects."
"Customer Service: Amazing Technical Support: Great"
"The improvement was quickly seen in project planning and execution because all people involved know which tasks are assigned and to whom."
 

Cons

"It could be more user-friendly. I think it is too overwhelming, initially, in terms of possibilities and so on."
"Have struggled with reporting and user adoption."
"If I start customizing too many things, Clarizen tends to get really slow in our environment and especially if I'm tunneled in an environment, like if I'm connected to my VPN."
"I felt like the slide publisher isn't that user-friendly. I think it wasn't that easy to use or to figure out because of formatting constraints, or maybe we need to get better at understanding some of its limitations."
"One specific area for improvement could be implementing a development environment to test workflows with live production data."
"When it comes to room for improvement, making the Gannt Charts more printer friendly would be ideal."
"When too many updates were done, we had to reload the web-app, the same did not happen on the iOS or Android App."
"The flexibility, which is a strength, also requires you to think through how to structure Wrike to best serve your needs."
"I would like to see a way of implementing a project scope as currently it is just folders, tags and tasks."
"What annoys me with Wrike and things that I would like to improve is that you need to have a very organized workflow that everyone in the company follows, and only then will Wrike work."
"When zooming in, I lost the ability to see what I input in the description area."
"Wrike currently has no budgeting capabilities."
"It doesn't allow you to quickly see whether certain teams are over-scheduled at a quick glance."
