Director of Operations at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Useful project management capabilities, beneficial dashboards, but project planning could improve
The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance. In a future release, it would be beneficial to have a undo button.

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

"It's difficult to pinpoint just one most valuable feature, as there are many features that can be beneficial. For the specific use case of my client's project management office, they found the project management features of the application to be particularly valuable, such as project boards, reporting, and the ability to customize views. Additionally, task management and project scheduling were also highly utilized. However, capacity planning was not used as much as the others, as there was a lack of support from executives to invest in training and implementing it due to a lack of processes in place. The project planning features, dashboard, and reporting capabilities were considered the most valuable."
"The powerful collaboration is definitely the most valuable and the fact that you can adjust flexibility to almost any methodology, and the easy creation of complete new functionalities without programming code."
"The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."
"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."
"The most valuable features are resource allocation and capacity planning."
"Reporting of IT capacity available for first time, time sheets available for first time."
"Daptiv templates give you a world of possibilities, no matter the PMI maturity level the company has."
"Changepoint allowed us to model resource request/assignment workflow in our large PS organization."
"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."
"Weekly meetings and collaboration between different departments have become much more productive."
"Wrike has allowed us to collaborate with ease and to be able to communicate expectations quickly not only internally but also to external contributors."
"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."
"Wrike is the best project management tool I have used so far."
"The initial setup was intuitive, but the training and support videos provided help in moving us to a more developed organizational system."
"Wrike as a task management tool gives a lot of flexibility in creating, updating and managing tasks with such ease in comparison to other tools I have used."
"Large projects are much easier to manage and keep track of who is doing what portion and when."
 

Cons

"Accessing some functions is a bit obscure and requires some knowledge of how the product works, but the upgrade from v2012 to 2014 improved that situation and I expect the upcoming upgrade to 2017 to further streamline operations."
"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."
"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."
"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."
"The previous solution that we were using was Projector PSA; it was overall a superior product."
"I would say there is too much work that has to go into the configuration up front and for the first 6 months to 1 year after, which costs time, money, and resources, and it is not a very advanced tool and seems interface-wise to be behind the times."
"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."
"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."
"The mobile interface really needs work. It's hard to navigate and find tasks or folders/projects."
"It is great for smaller projects, but cannot replace Project or Smartsheet."
"Unfortunately there are a few dislikes: Various exports like the whole folder structure with the users who are directly shared with or the users/collaborators full list is not working."
"Wrike currently has no budgeting capabilities."
"The main concern was about the management of task and how easy it is to use the tool."
"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."
"However, support email reply should not take 12+ hours to those people who live in 12+ hours difference of timezone."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."
"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."
"From a pricing perspective, I would rate Wrike a four out of five."
"Wrike is very expensive, and its price is almost $1,400."
"Wrike is expensive."
"Wrike is not so expensive, but I don't know exactly how it compares with other tools. Wrike might not be so cheap when we are using it for a lot of users."
