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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the project management solution. It's really nice."
"Slide Publisher has been a lifesaver for us; it saves us five to 10 hours a week."
"Clarizen's reporting features have been critical."
"Provides visibility into employee utilization, progress on specific client projects and a portfolio view of all programs."
"Clarizen Slide Publisher has helped increase transparency and communication with project stakeholders for us."
"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'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."
"Great software with excellent support."
"Customer Service: Very impressive."
"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."
"This is a good tool for project progress tracking and sharing tasks with internal and external parties."
"It's a very easy-to-use and flexible tool. We can easily write and create queues for different themes. It's very user-friendly."
"It's an excellent project management tool in creating a successful project."
"The most valuable feature of Wrike is the tag functionality."
"Wrike is excellent at being customized for use and project management."
 

Cons

"It could be more user-friendly. I think it is too overwhelming, initially, in terms of possibilities and so on."
"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."
"Have struggled with reporting and user adoption."
"One specific area for improvement could be implementing a development environment to test workflows with live production data."
"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."
"One thing that we are looking for in Wrike is a better workflow. Because we can only move the status of tasks, we can't really manage workflow and send a task to a specific person."
"There's always a room for improvement for any product, and they need to include support for re-occurring tasks."
"You can't get custom notifications."
"We faced a lot of issues with the mobile application, especially with the iOS version."
"The product needs to send direct emails to customers updating the latest aspects since it is better to hear directly."
"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."
"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."
"It would be nice if it was a little more intuitive and user-friendly, with less of a learning curve."
