Outstanding Project Collaboration and Management System
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Wrike allows the me to manage 800 to 1000 tasks quick and easily all in one place. Also I love the timeline feature that connects different tasks together, so when you move a date, all the tasks connected to that tasks are automatically updated.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the fact that it takes so long for a company to adopt this program and use it to its full potential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems being solved with Wrike is that less and less details that are important to a project fall through the cracks which helps improve product to market release time. In addition, the timeline is more accurate because the dates change in real time based on the individual tasks schedule ties directing to the timeline. This save me time from having to manually change each project timeline like I did in MS Projects.
Also reporting is easier and quicker because WRIKE has a good report function and can auto send out monthly reports.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have the support of all department heads before you deploy this system in your company. This will improve the adoption process.

Positive experience managing tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to add and adjust tasks, both for myself and team members. Love being able to forward emails into Wrike.
What do you dislike about the product?
Adjusting dues dates sometimes feels a bit strange (can't put my finger on it) but it ultimately works. They have some weird suggested usage, such as trying to use Wrike as CRM. Not a good fit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Assigning and tracking tasks for myself and team members.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good evaluation period. Try it out.
Project management for the rest of us
What do you like best about the product?
Setup and manage complex projects without spending 6 months learning the PM software. It is very easy to get people up to speed and using Wrike.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any current dislikes with Wrike. They have implemented so many improvements in the 2 years we have been using it, that our wish list is essentially fulfilled.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it across the company to manage a wide variety of projects (web development, facilities remodeling, etc.). Our greatest benefits have been visibility into workloads in departments across multiple projects, as well as a much better system to plan sensible delivery dates for our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's easy and intuitive, without sacrificing functionality. Jump in, watch some tutorials, and get your teams and projects organized.
Project scheduling, tracking and updating right at your fingertips.
What do you like best about the product?
Dashboard. I customized the dashboard to provide me a bird's eye view of everything I follow. After adding Activity Stream, I knew what was going on with each project.
The simplicity of the program is a plus. I have found too many programs are far to complicated to learn. Write affords me to opportunity to jump right in.
Another factor, the ability to access information from anywhere as low as internet connection is present.
The ability to print reports based on specific criteria.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike about the program especially with the new look and the ease of navigation.
When the interface from the old to the new, I was a little displeased because changes in software sometimes makes the program form a bit sketchy. But in this case change is definitely good.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to keep track of hundreds of projects simultaneously. I love spreadsheets but the time it takes to create one to fit my needs, I could perform a hundred tasks in Wrike.
Just the best (for us).
What do you like best about the product?
Fast user interface.
Frequent new features rolling out.
Adorable price.
Really friendly support team.

Wrike, a great tool for project management
What do you like best about the product?
Wrike is an all around great tool for project management. As a project manager I find the "Timeline" (gantt chart) view most useful for keeping on top of projects and being able to make quick schedule adjustments to a project when needed. Additionally its outstanding notification system keeps my development teams up to speed with where they need to be within the production life cycle.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no major issue that I have with Wrike. The only annoyance I am aware of is with exporting timelines to Excel files. When an timeline is exported, it makes every task title a link to the corresponding task in Wrike. We have to manually remove these links in the Excel file every time, because we do not want most clients or end users of the schedule accessing our content in Wrike. For some this may not be a problem with their workflow, however is does add a bit more time for us to get the Excel files in the format that we need. We'd suggest that additional features be added to the export functionality of Wrike allowing for format modifications of files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wrike helps our development team be informed immediately of the status of any project allowing them to keep on track for important milestones or project changes.
Simply the Best--a Game-Changer.
What do you like best about the product?
I love so much about Wrike! But probably my favorite aspect is that the learning curve isn't high...unless we want it to be. My boss and coworkers don't have the time or desire to really get to know the software and all its potential, so they have a superficial understanding of how to use the basic functionalities. They love how simple and easy it is without being tough to figure out. On the other hand, I attend webinars, watch videos, read the blog, read the help section, talk to our account manager, etc, and this allows me to organize the system really well and implement different strategies that allow us to use the more powerful features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that we can't set specific email alerts for certain tasks on certain days--we have to choose between getting a daily email digest or going into the dashboard. I also wish that there were a more efficient way of generating activity reports for clients.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a new project-planning software that would allow us to organize our extremely complicated tasks for many clients. Not only has this need been fulfilled, we also have these templates set so that it's REALLY easy to start new but similar projects. We needed a way to generate activity reports for our clients--before, we were using a combination of spreadsheets and Excel GANTT charts that we updated by hand. Now, we can export the plans and task statuses in various formats and the reporting process is literally hours shorter. Another issue we had was that the boss wanted constant updates on our projects so we were spending tons of time just sending super brief emails. Now, we just update the tasks directly and refer him to Wrike. Finally, we had files all over the place and it's great to be able to dump them all into the relevant tasks and not have to worry about losing old documents months down the line.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I suggest that you really invest time looking at the videos, blog, and help section on the site. This'll give you more of an idea of what Wrike is capable of providing. I also recommend that you make a list of every single attribute you need your project management software to have and then talk to someone live and make sure that the plan you're looking at will provide those functionalities.
Great Task and Project Management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Wrike integrates a number of powerful tools into an intuitive and streamline package. The Gantt view is especially helpful for large projects with dependent tasks. Document revision control is another great feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tasks that require multiple people to complete can be difficult to manage in Wrike. Either a separate task must be created for each individual or you must wait to mark the task complete until everyone has completed it. The new sub-task feature has helped with this issue to some extent but it is still an issue.
My other dislike is the inability to track high level timeline changes. You can track tasks individually through the activity stream but it is a very manual process. It would be nice to see timeline (possibly gantt view) changes over time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wrike has helped to streamline our new product development process. There are a large number of dependent tasks that are difficult to managed without a tool like Wrike. We previously used MS Project but it was cumbersome and could only be accessed and updated by a limited number of individuals. Wrike has allowed us to update our status in near real time and aided in collaboration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Wrike is a very versatile tool. They have intentionally designed it that way so it can be adapted to meet varying customer needs. This posses a challenge for new users. If you are rolling this out to a large number of people I would highly recommend establishing a best practices or standard use guidelines. Inconsistent use causes confusion which slows implementation and adoption. So the more clearly you can define expectations for use the easier your implementation will be.
Love it!
What do you like best about the product?
Love the functionality (subtasks! dependencies!) and multiple views.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like for there to be a simpler way to create project templates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making production processes clear and efficient and making it easy for all team members to track where things are.
Wrike - Proactive Project Planning I can't believe I lived without!
What do you like best about the product?
Wrike has enabled us to carefully forecast resources, schedules, potential "bottlenecks" and ensure our actual work patterns align with agreed upon processes and best practices. In other words, it allows us to work smarter, be proactive, efficient and all stay on the same page.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be helpful if it would be possible to forecast the time it will take to complete each task, scale up our users incrementally instead of in 25 user blocks, and have more easily digestible, and customizable views of team workloads.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a an ever changing, and growing, number of projects with diverse teams of staff and freelancers which scale up and down constantly. Wrike helps us forecast what and who we will need, how much time we can allot to each person for their portion of a project, and keep team members from being overworked.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use your trial period fully and get as much in the system as you can to get a true feel for the product.
