Wrike Reviews

Pros

The seamless tracking of tasks and projects across multiple teams makes Wrike indispensable for efficient project management.

Cons

More templates or workflows tailored for marketing agencies working with multiple customers would be helpful.

Pros

Wrike's integration of essential project and team management features streamlines task assignment, time tracking, and project lifecycle management.

Cons

Occasional downtime or slow performance disrupts daily operations due to heavy reliance on the platform.

Pros

Wrike's user-friendly interface and collaboration tools enhance team productivity and communication.

Cons

Tasks must be completed individually, which can be time-consuming.

Pros

Wrike plays a critical role in managing requests for our Marketing Operations team, streamlining intake processes and task assignment.

Cons

The folder structure in Wrike presents challenges, especially regarding task sharing and reporting. Automations are limited, and manual input is often required for subtasks.

Pros

Wrike significantly contributes to our team's ability to handle a heavy workload, thanks to its streamlined processes and adaptability through blueprints and customizations.

Cons

Minor improvements, such as linking subtasks to milestone tasks in the Gantt Chart view, would enhance daily usage.

Pros

Wrike's simplicity, coupled with its extensive functionality and excellent customer service, enhances project organization and productivity, providing a centralized platform for efficient task management.

Cons

Determining the best way to utilize the software for the team involves trial and error. Workarounds are necessary due to plan limitations, such as the minimum seat requirement.

Pros

The number of clicks required to access desired information can be excessive. For instance, expanding all and adjusting filters each time when viewing Gantt charts.

Cons

The number of clicks it takes to get what you want to see. For example, having to expand all and change filters every time we look at Gantt.

Pros

The pricing might be the least favored aspect of Wrike.

Cons

The price would probably be the least favorite aspect of Wrike.

Pros

Transferring assignments between projects can sometimes pose challenges. Additionally, the autofill feature during new project creation can disrupt actual task entries.

Cons

Sometimes moving assignments from one project to another is difficult. Also, when you are doing a new project, it gives you autofill, and that will mess up the actual task.

Pros

Recurring tasks lack certain functionalities, particularly the inability to create them with sub-tasks.

Cons

Lack of functionality with recurring tasks. Unable to create recurring tasks with sub-tasks.

Pros

Our team struggles with project navigation and locating specific projects independently. The "My To-Do" tab works well for most, but without it, navigating through folders and projects can feel overwhelming. Additionally, enhancing the assignment feature's robustness would be beneficial. Although one can be assigned to a task, clarity diminishes when multiple people are involved in the task. Lastly, the software's generation of emails for task follow-ups feels counterproductive, considering we adopted Wrike to reduce email reliance.

Cons

Our team has difficulty navigating the projects & finding projects on their own. They can find the My To-Do tab and that works well for most people. Without that function, it can be overwhelming to dig through folders and projects.I wish the assign feature was more robust. You can be assigned to a task but if multiple people are on the task, it isn't clear that it is "in your court".Lastly, the software generates emails when you are following a task which feels counterintuitive. We use Wrike to NOT have emails and now we almost get more emails. I have mine automatically funneling into a folder in my Inbox but it is still a nuisance.

Pros

Enhancing the ease of accessing various features and the homepage overview would be advantageous.

Cons

I think that it could be a little bit easy the overview of the different features and the home

Pros

Some features could be more user-intuitive. For instance, allowing users to change the default space for new tasks instead of automatically placing them in the personal space. Also, notifications for new comments without direct tagging would improve user experience.

Cons

I wish some of the features were more intuitive. For example, I wish that instead of it defaulting to put new tasks in my personal space, I could change the default space. I also wish it would notify users of new comments without needing to be directly tagged. Small changes, but I think they would make a big difference

Pros

Several limitations on forms necessitated the use of Woofoo. Furthermore, identifying the current contact person for assistance with new features can be challenging due to frequent changes.

Cons

There were a few limitations on the forms that made us need to use Woofoo. The hardest part for us is it's hard to know who our current "contact" for help is that can show us some new features because it changes so often.

Pros

Editing time while adding it to a project or accessing detailed time logs would be beneficial. Although such features might exist, discovering them remains elusive.

Cons

I wish there were a way to edit time when you're adding time to a project; or at least go in and see exactly what time you've spent. There may be a way, but I've yet to find it.

Pros

The approval feature lacks sufficient customization options.

Cons

There isn't enough customization with the approval feature.

Pros

Lack of provided training and customer support leads users to rely on videos and online searches for assistance.

Cons

There is no training offered and no customer support. We are left to videos for training and google for help

Pros

While Wrike is user-friendly for task management, its utility for project management is less intuitive.

Cons

We tried to use Wrike for project management and felt that wasn't as intuitive as the task management utility.

Pros

Some capabilities could be further improved. Additionally, occasional downtimes reduce reliability.

Cons

Some capabilities can be improved even more. There are also times when it goes down, so it doesn't feel reliable.

Pros

Creating custom reports and incorporating custom fields can be overly complicated, particularly when filtering for specific date ranges.

Cons

Reporting seems very locked down relative to the rest of the suite. The UI for creating custom reports and adding custom fields is overly complicated IMO, especially when it comes to filtering for specific date or other data ranges.
