Nice, somewhat light and nearly-modern project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's a fairly light team project management tool that gets the job done for our needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
As desirably simple as I generally think it is, it could be more intuitive. Sometime I get lost in the screen when I'm simply trying to mark a task Complete or even to find a project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing the many small and large projects in our Enterprise Business Applications group has become much easier and more collaborative.

Great for collaboration and growing businesses
What do you like best about the product?
It's format is open, so it's pretty conformable to how you want to use it. You just have to think through how your business operates and organize it so it makes sense. It gets a little mind-bending once you realize a folder can also be a "status tag" or "category", but that adds another dimension of organizing your workload. It's like a database of text files you can relate to one another, so it's quite flexible
What do you dislike about the product?
Because it's so flexible, all your information has to be typed in. You can't select a client from a drop-down list, or set default options, include fillable forms, etc. That allows room for errors if you're always putting in products specs that the clients are ordering.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Wrike to track orders through the company. We use folder templates to standardize the tasks associated to each kind of order. We pre-populate those templates with information that we have to take in from the client and fill out in order to produce. It helps each person know what to do next.
It's also a great collaboration tool. We can all work simultaneously, adding questions or thoughts to one
"task" in order to discuss them and narrow things down. It's like a Google document built into the system.

By far the best option
What do you like best about the product?
Built in Workflows -- we use custom status to manage task workflows in radically different businesses to great success.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is still difficult to integrate Wrike with secure document storage. The current Box integration means anyone with access to Wrike and your Box link can access the document we'd prefer to be able to embed DMS links and then have the DMS sort out who does and does not have access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wrike is excellent project management software the best that we've come across by a good margin.
Game changers:
-Built in Workflows -- we use custom status to manage task workflows in radically different businesses to great success.
--Ease of assigning other users and passing the task through to another person.
--Outlook Plugin and integration
Good Enoughs:
Time Tracking -- it has enough features to allow it to be our time system of record. We wish it had a little more security and auditability in this area, but it does its job to support time for both billing and payroll purpose.
Needs Improvement:
We would like to see Wrike have the ability to automatically assign a certain person if a certain workflow status is selected.

You will not find a superior option among their competitors.
Great Team Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to store tasks and share completed, uncompleted.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if it was linked to another tool or app that manages my docs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business cooperation and being able to share ideas, etc.
A decent project management software
What do you like best about the product?
The inbox feature is great, it allows you to see what is coming up for your week.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is clunky and hard to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management and job prioritization.
Wrike provides great project management tools
What do you like best about the product?
The interface of Wrike provides for a very seamless experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike about using Wrike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The project management coordination inside Wrike has solved many of our ongoing issues.
Great software, terrible name
What do you like best about the product?
Wrike has a very clean interface, limitless subtasks (a must-have feature for me), and Gantt charts (another must-have). It's very easy to share/assign tasks, projects, and folders with team members. It's also a great tool when working with clients who want transparency into your company's process. You can give them various privileges that allow them to see what you're working on, without allowing them to make changes or interrupt your process. I've tried lots of task management platforms, and Wrike was one of only two that had all of the features we needed on their basic account. The only other one was Jira, but we decided it was too robust for our needs. Wrike is the happy medium of great features and easy-to-use interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few little problems here and there, but it seems like they are actively trying to iron out all the wrinkles. The two biggest problems for me are the very poor recurring task feature (which basically just duplicates your task x amount of times and quickly muddles up your timeline) and the name of the product. Anytime we tell people about Wrike (clients, employees, partners, etc.), they immediately question the name. This might seem like a dumb complaint, but it derails many important conversations. Since Wrike sounds exactly like Reich, people get uncomfortable when it's mentioned. This is something you'll just have to deal with if you purchase the software because I don't imagine they'll be changing the name anytime soon. Things may have changed, but last I checked there was no desktop app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization. We had tried various platforms in the past. Teamwork and Asana worked best, but were still very unsuccessful in meeting our needs. I work in services, so the organization of tasks is extremely important. Wrike clearly lays out all tasks, dependencies, and milestones for myself, my team, and my clients to see.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The Gantt charts and organization of tasks are great. If you are looking for a platform with timelines, endless subtasks, and sharing privileges, Wrike is the platform for you.
Excellent for Teams but Good for Single User
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to quickly add projects or folders, create tasks and assign them. As a former director of marketing, Wrike was perfect for keeping multi-channel marketing activities coordinated among my team. As a solo entrepreneur, it keeps me organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing. At the enterprise level, there are a great deal of helpful features that are not available to an individual user on the freemium version. Because I am one person, I can't justify $50/user per month but I would be willing to pay perhaps half that. Last I checked, there was no lower tier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I add tasks along the project management cycle like research, planning and production. I add due dates. I can assign the smallest of tasks and create checklists in Wrike to keep all of my project pieces organized. I also make tons of notes that I can later print or refer to. Keeps my client communication at my fingertips. I also use the Android app to add tasks on the go. When I used it with a team, we scheduled all our direct mail campaigns, email blasts, social media posts – everything! When the CEO or SVP asked what we were working on, I would print out a detailed spreadsheet.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I tried Trello and Slack and a few others before going with Wrike. I am tech-savvy but I don't want to spend a ton of time learning complex software in order to be productive. Wrike has a clean interface and for me, was very intuitive.
Pretty good
What do you like best about the product?
I like how you can assign things to different team members and how you can see the history of tasks reassigned / moved forward
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the effort it took to get team members to do it -- it was too many barriers to create and sort tasks -- an excel sheet where you can sort by date would have been less barriers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Write helps with task management to hold your team accountable
Recommendations to others considering the product:
maybe try a google sheet first and sort by date for follow up tasks
A work in progress
What do you like best about the product?
Wrike has so many things immediately available on your screen, you dont have to go far to do stuff.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wrike has so many things immediately available on your screen, it is hard to know where you are.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have moved our large project management to Wrike, and it allows for deep hierarchies of team, client, product, etc. to hold the tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to attend the company training before diving in, it can get hard to navigate if you start blind.
