Wrike Reviews

Pros

When functioning correctly the ease of use is remarkable. (Note: The following sentence is added to meet the word count requirement as an error message suggested the initial entry was insufficient.)

Cons

Wrike seems to encounter issues with automatically assigning card numbers to tasks. I've had to seek assistance from Wrike Support three times in the past two years to rectify this problem. When it functions properly it works exceptionally well! Suggestion: Modify Wrike's rules to allow for assigning card numbers to sub-tasks.

Pros

I appreciate Wrike's ability to instantly tag manage and create projects ensuring that all project tasks contain the essential 5Ws. This feature enhances organization and facilitates tracking of completed projects.

Cons

Some features are launched prematurely and occasional glitches disrupt certain projects.

Pros

This platform is excellent for facilitating team communication and tracking content requests.

Cons

The interface feels cumbersome and occasionally we miss task updates.

Pros

It simplifies task management and resource allocation allowing for efficient assignment and time tracking.

Cons

If the process of bringing tasks to Wrike could be faster it would be fantastic.

Pros

The boards and overview feature provide a comprehensive view of everything.

Cons

Reporting in different currencies is not possible which poses difficulties for us as we have offices in various territories.

Pros

With its numerous useful functionalities Wrike enables me to effectively manage my small company remotely.

Cons

Improved document management and text searching would be highly appreciated.

Pros

Wrike has significantly improved our business's organization efficiency and structure. The dashboard and workload views are fantastic for quickly assessing workloads and understanding weekly responsibilities. The Gantt Chart view is especially valuable for planning large projects and reviewing timelines.

Cons

Numerous essential features are missing. For instance there is no bulk task name editor no bulk project management tools and the Gantt Chart occasionally behaves unpredictably. I hope to see improvements in these areas this year.

Pros

Wrike covers all aspects of project management from intake forms to project assignment file review and communication. The customizable nature of the platform and the ability to automate project assignment using Blueprints are highly appreciated.

Cons

When setting up forms it is frustrating that we can't change the question format after starting to create it. Additionally we encountered an issue where users weren't notified when a task was assigned to them if the assignment was made in the blueprint and then a project was created based on that blueprint. While I appreciate the customization options in Wrike it can make managing and understanding the system a bit cumbersome.

Pros

The ability to build my own platform and customize it according to my needs is a standout feature of Wrike.

Cons

The customer service is poor with frequent glitches and outages. The representatives are unhelpful and the platform lacks warnings about capacity overages. The software is unreliable and unstable.

Pros

The greatest benefit of using Wrike is the seamless cross-team communication it enables. Getting answers within the task itself is incredibly convenient.

Cons

It's very easy to overcomplicate things with Wrike. As my colleague often says "Wrike can do anything and that's both a blessing and a curse." I completely agree.

Pros

Like Trello Wrike is an excellent tool for planning and tracking projects tasks and deadlines. As a Project Lead I find it particularly useful with its data pulling options and various views like Gantt Boards and Lists.

Cons

I miss the function of creating reports based on all the Spaces in Wrike. When you have many clients and need to add them one by one it becomes time-consuming to create such reports.

Pros

The dashboards are great for reviewing workloads and planning annual strategic communication. The editing review features are also valuable for materials.

Cons

The reporting setup for custom reports and time tracking to measure projects needs improvement.

Pros

Wrike's automation features are user-friendly and highly beneficial for managing different projects. The custom fields are particularly useful in my role.

Cons

I wish there were embedded links for calendars and reports. It would be great to integrate Outlook in a way that allows our team to schedule meetings and start meetings in Teams or Zoom directly from Wrike.

Pros

Although our small department may not fully utilize Wrike like larger companies it was easy to set up and tailor to our specific needs.

Cons

Since we use Wrike differently from other companies it can be challenging to train other employees to use it. However sometimes it's not the software's fault...

Pros

Wrike offers numerous features that help track and analyze information at a high level.

Cons

Many advanced features are not user-friendly and finding comprehensive manuals to follow is difficult. For example creating formulas for reports or analysis is not straightforward.

Pros

It's effortless to keep track of tasks and prioritize them using Wrike.

Cons

A scheduled reminder to add tasks to Outlook or Google Calendar would be beneficial.

Pros

One of the most impactful features is the ability for internal and external users to provide clear and productive feedback on PDF documents during design reviews.

Cons

I feel that automation and customization of task rules could be improved and made easier to use. After creating task rules the layout of the task changes. I appreciate that all the fields are at the top and divided into cells but the layout shifts when new rules are applied causing some confusion.

Pros

The workload management feature has significantly increased our effectiveness without overwhelming colleagues. Assigning specific tasks and projects has improved workflow responsibility and team collaboration. Project delivery has been reduced thanks to the simple software adaptation for all staff.

Cons

The license for Wrike is quite expensive but the functions are easy to understand so the positive results outweigh the negatives. We haven't encountered drawbacks that are significantly greater than the benefits.

Pros

The customizable dashboard and advanced filtering options allow for personalized data visualization.

Cons

Sometimes there are glitches or bugs such as notifications staying marked even after being read or delays in loading task pages when clicked.

Pros

Wrike has robust capabilities diverse views and effective intake processes for building and workflows.

Cons

Wrike has numerous layers which can confuse regular users and make it challenging to navigate.
