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

"The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."
"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."
"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 allowed us to model resource request/assignment workflow in our large PS organization."
"The most valuable features are resource allocation and capacity planning."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Wrike has allowed us to collaborate with ease and to be able to communicate expectations quickly not only internally but also to external contributors."
"Wrike's Gantt charts are great for project management and super simple to implement and use."
"Gantt charts and its robust functionality allows for almost all project management to be done on the gantt chart view itself, from creating tasks to adding dependencies."
"Multiple people can share their comments and coordinate on a single task, which makes the work more fun and productive."
"Wrike was the only one in our price range that has a complete feature set for those managing projects our size."
"This is a great product if you take the time to learn it and implement it in a way that makes sense for your business."
"We have been a lot more collaborative and communication has been better since starting to use Wrike."
"Tagging and following of tasks."
 

Cons

"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."
"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."
"The previous solution that we were using was Projector PSA; it was overall a superior product."
"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current."
"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."
"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."
"The user interface is quirky and does not always conform to the expected Microsoft UI standards."
"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."
"The main concern was about the management of task and how easy it is to use the tool."
"Wrike Cons: One area of improvement that Wrike could get better at is sub tasks."
"However, support email reply should not take 12+ hours to those people who live in 12+ hours difference of timezone."
"The mobile interface really needs work. It's hard to navigate and find tasks or folders/projects."
"Wrike currently has no budgeting capabilities."
"I would like to see different statuses saved in different folders. Instead, the status is changed and it affects all folders globally."
"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."
"More options in the "basic" paid version would be nice."
 

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