Wrike Review
What do you like best about the product?
Wrike is a great system for managing a large number of projects, on a team with a lot of different balls moving and people's jobs are all different/need to be managed differently. It works best when one person (i.e. project manager) is the expert in Wrike and can help the rest of the company maneuver its intricacies. One really cool feature on Wrike is the tagging/social media features. You can tag your friends/coworkers (@katespence) and they get a notification to come look at whatever you tagged them in.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's pretty hard to share project pages by copying a url because of the pop up boxes. It's also really easy to get lost in the depths of wrike - if you have a lot of tasks being assigned to different coworkers, there are tons of options available on the sides that you can easily get lost in. I have found a few ways to stay focused on my tasks, but still get lost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wrike is our main project management tool. It helps keep us organized, keep a bird's eye view on everything, and communicate quickly and easily about projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make it more user friendly. Get rid of the pop up boxes when you click on a project. Make the inbox way easier to manage/get around. Make "My Work" tab easier to differentiate between projects.

Pschyed about Wrike
What do you like best about the product?
Wrike is great for managing a lot of different projects with a lot of different people. Our office uses this to stay on track every Monday morning in our weekly team meeting. I really like that within Wrike, you can create a project, and multiple sub-tasks within that project. I also really like the "upload attachment" feature, which makes it easy to see what tasks are related to what documents, rather than getting lost in emails. Finally, the dates on the tasks are helpful (when I remember to set them and pay attention to them) and the fact that I get a To Do list emailed to me with those dates prioritized is also very helpful for my day to day planning.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that I forget to use the Time Tracking feature! I also dislike that when I get an email update from Wrike when someone else is editing a task, etc, it is sometimes hard to match up what I read in the email versus what I see on Wrike. Finally, I often find it hard to locate certain tasks if they have been moved or marked inactive or some other label by other teammates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the problem of getting off track or losing track of projects. We've realized the benefits of this online, team and project management platform by using Wrike everyday! We are also using the time tracking feature to see what tasks take more time than others to aid in planning going forward.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Wrike is great just be careful if you have too much going on. Also beware, there is a steep learning curve.
A game changer
What do you like best about the product?
the tool is very flexible and easy to understand. The online support is awesome and it is full of how-to videos that let you start using the tool quickly. It really helped my team to start a new way of collaborating and improved our delivery time and reduced the meeting hours spent to check project updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The two thing I feel are missing are:
- to automatically export report in pdf format and email them. Every morning I need to log in and check the reporting system. I would prefer to receive a ready to print report in my email inbox.
- a more flexible request from builder that let us to prepare forms that can be integrated in other website pages respecting the look and feel.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration is improved a lot.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try.
Full featured but complex interface
What do you like best about the product?
Interoperability with Box and other web apps. Full features,
What do you dislike about the product?
Steep learning curve, the fact that the solution offers a lot of options can be also be confusing for uninitiated users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Too many siloed lines of business, lack of visibility of all projects happening throughout the organization. Allowed users from various departments to collaborate and see each other's progress.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Wrike is suitable for users who are familiar with PM software. For the newbies, it is a tough sell, Trello seems to have more traction.
Project Management just got easier
What do you like best about the product?
This is a fantastic software to use for any project management needs. It makes communicating and managing projects with your team easy. It's not hard to learn and it's pretty customizable depending on how you wish to set it up. We started using Wrike for everything and it makes managing team projects, tasks, and to-do lists so much easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's unique from other project management systems but it offers so much more, so it can take some getting used to in the beginning. Once you get past the learning curve, you're in for a treat.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All our projects are put in Wrike - so everything we do in our department is running through this platform. It's strengthening our team communication and organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of all this has to offer. You can use it for managing and organizing personal tasks and projects in addition to team projects. You can also use it to track your time if your time is billable for clients.
Effective, but not very easy on the eyes
What do you like best about the product?
Very well thought out functionality. On the enterprise tier, the ability to create new custom fields is extremely valuable.
The various views for looking at your projects is great. They can be viewed as a list, in a timeline, in a workload (think resource management) view, and on boards similar to Trello. Very robust in that department.
Great customer support and documentation.

Great customer support and documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface leaves something to be desired for. It's years behind the likes of Asana and the various other project management tools. In addition, the mobile-app is lack luster. Don't expect to use Wrike on anything except your Computer or Tablet.
It is a very feature-packed tool. There is a LOT to know, and you'll continue to learn new features for the first year you're using it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, time tracking, resource allocation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do your research ahead of time. Be ready for growing pains and read as much as you can. It's a feature-packed product and required due-diligence.
A Great Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to invite any contact to contribute to a project with no need for permission controls. The interface for most users has proven very intuitive with very little time needed to show a new user around (see dislikes).
The interface allows for multiple ways to view tasks in a project and timelines for those involved, meaning that different users can get the information relevant to them easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
Whilst the interface is effective, and initially quite intuitive, deeper views and settings can become very complex. It's difficult to see how this could be improved as it's the nature of dealing with multiple projects like this. It's a powerful tool but it comes with a lot of potential complexity that isn't always the easiest to get through. That said, viewing a single project and its detail is relatively simple.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a small team that deals with a lot of projects and multiple contractors and departments. The main aim was to improve the transparency of our work, enabling departments/management outside of IT Services to see the work and timelines of our projects. It's also serving to highlight future plans to show what the various projects are heading towards.
The ability to invite other users outside of the department into individual projects has proven invaluable, keeping all records of correspondence in one place.

You need to understand the power of WRIKE FIRST
What do you like best about the product?
Functionality and ease of use in a high volume processing environment where lots of tasks need to get done across multiple departments for multiple projects. Excellent support - any time of day and very helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
Wrike makes every effort to ensure that all of the functionality is well described but its too much when starting out. They should include in the pricing some consulting time so that an experienced consultant can point subscribers to the key issues for the particular business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coordination and execution of hundreds of administrative tasks daily
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Speak to a Wrike consultant about your business - the ins and the outs - WRIKE can replace many other software programs, emails, forms, project management software, googledocs etc etc but if you dont know how to use it then it will frustrate you and cost money. WRIKE is very confusing when using with existing email services. WRIKE forces you to understand your own business processes and document them and for many small businesses this may not be readily available.
Pretty good project management software
What do you like best about the product?
alot of options and creates beautiful gant charts, high learning curve but once you get the hang of it it's easy
What do you dislike about the product?
You need to fiddle around with it a bit to get the hang of it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Showcasing product dependencies to Blindlight. It definitely works but you cannot modify charts to be "client friendly" which can be a pain
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely try this out, but note if you are a client service industry this might not be the best for you
A good option if you want a flexible management system
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the system is flexible. I work in a communication environment with multiple disciplines working on the same campaign or task. It is great to all be on one system that can be tooled to fit everyone's preferences. We've had to re-invent the wheel a number of times. Fortunately we are able to do that without too much trouble. I think the phrase "there is more than one way to skin a cat" is an apt description for Wrike, "there is more than one way to set up your communications or management workflow."
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is overly complex because they are cramming so much customization, but they are making significant improvements in that area. They've given us the option to hide the main directory of jobs in a menu.
I also dislike the pdf review feature. We tried it for a while during a free trial and it was buggy and not as good as it could have been. It's an add-on that's not worth paying for; it should be included in the main package.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have multiple creative departments. We needed ways to loop each other in on projects easily. Prior to Wrike, we were on Trello, Slack, Filemaker, and Mavenlink. Communication was happening on everyone's preferred platform as well as in various e-mails. It was tough to keep track on projects with this set-up.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be prepared to adjust/tweak your project management strategy in the first year at least a handful of times. You can do so many things with it, it is hard to know where to start.
