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

"I implemented for a large client of mine and saw them quickly get up and running and leverage Daptiv to help them manage their IT demand from their internal customers."
"Changepoint gives us a view of the project status and needs very clearly, which are things that we used to miss with MS Project and Excel."
"Daptiv templates give you a world of possibilities, no matter the PMI maturity level the company has."
"The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."
"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."
"I like the reporting engine, IBM Cognos, especially the analytics. That's a good tool. It's quite strong on the ideation and capacity-planning side, which is a huge plus."
"Consequently, it is the single point of truth for both our project managers and our senior leadership."
"Changepoint allowed us to model resource request/assignment workflow in our large PS organization."
"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."
"Great way for our employees to send in project requests/ideas and then for us to be able to prioritize and schedule them."
"Wrike is a powerful tool to make a project a success, in my own opinion, for small and medium projects."
"It's an excellent project management tool in creating a successful project."
"Large projects are much easier to manage and keep track of who is doing what portion and when."
"The product is intuitive. It is easy to learn and update. You can follow the project from the beginning till the end with the help of the solution. The tool helps to update the project in seconds."
"Wrike is the best project management tool I have used so far."
"Their support is pretty good, and they've been pretty helpful."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current."
"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."
"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."
"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."
"The previous solution that we were using was Projector PSA; it was overall a superior product."
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."
"The flexibility, which is a strength, also requires you to think through how to structure Wrike to best serve your needs."
"It doesn't allow you to quickly see whether certain teams are over-scheduled at a quick glance."
"The interface takes some getting used to."
"I would like to see different statuses saved in different folders. Instead, the status is changed and it affects all folders globally."
"Possibly another user group, the collaborators cant do enough and they dont have a program it seems to have a ton of users."
"Interface takes a bit to get used to."
"Sometimes the interface can be messy."
"It would be nice if it was a little more intuitive and user-friendly, with less of a learning curve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"From a pricing perspective, I would rate Wrike a four out of five."
"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."
"Wrike is very expensive, and its price is almost $1,400."
