[/wpsm_inline_list]Functional and data-driven.
Boasting an unmatched company portfolio, this company is driven to re-think how their clients manage productivity. Wrike has created a space that is focused on status updates on projects, resource allocation, and group communication.
Bottom Line
Wrike has it all. This powerful application covers its bases with a focus on communication and progress analysis. Users of this app are die-hard, and to us, a strong community proves the platform is reliable and well-maintained.
Well priced, this SaaS is an excellent choice. With a feature set that most competitors are unable to match, Wrike only has a few drawbacks. The layout of this tool is not very pretty, and some basic functions can be unnecessarily complicated to find. We believe good design is heavily dependent on matching user intuition. This is the only area where the platform is truly not up to speed with competitors such as ClickUp or Asana. Clients are going to be spending a lot of time with their task management program so we feel it needs to be pleasing to the eyes. If this downside is not of concern to you, check out their demo and browse their solid reporting features, communication tools, and project organization.
Upon first logging into Wrike, you will immediately be shown a professional, clear video and initialization tutorial demonstrating the purpose of the app. The app’s layout is simple and easy to navigate initially, however, we found that as we added more projects, tasks, subtasks, and users, it became difficult to recall where or how to find everything. They have included almost every feature we were looking for, but the app could use an intuitive redesign.
We were very impressed with the activity streams Wrike offers. They have multiple views including list, table, timeline (Gantt), timelog, and workload. These are all automatically created by the app itself. Once enough data is gained, Wrike will even provide you with user analytics. The internal chat is also very well organized and simple to use.
Wrike does like to bother you with pop-ups and notifications that were unimportant to us. We are not fans of paying for a service that still clutters your workspace with anything unnecessary.
This tool has very comparable pricing for what you are getting. Though the app is on the expensive side of the spectrum, we believe the features and support you receive are worth the extra cost. Every pricing option includes unlimited projects, who doesn’t like unlimited projects?

Wrike is awesome! I was a longtime Asana user, but found that Wrike had all the missing features that was frustrating me with asana, namely some structure.
I love Wrike, but it takes time to get the team acquainted
Just use Google Docs
Wrike in itself is a strong tool, but there is definitely room for improvement. To be such a big company I expected a better design and overall customer experience. Not happy with how their customer service team talked down to me when I asked a few questions.
We are a small sized team and have been with wrike for quite some time now. The reasonable pricing and easy learning curve is what keeps us renewing however we recently have our eyes set on other tools that offer the same functionality and bring the aesthetics… if you’re reading this wrike *hint* I would update that interface
As we become more and more acquainted with this tool we are liking it more and more. It just takes time.
After being recommended wrike by a colleague, I needed to say they are only mediocre. If the Enterprise “old-school” feel is what you need then go for it, but our team wanted something more familiar and well designed. Not very impressed
Wrike is great for a large company that needs a one-size fits all solution. We needed something tailored to our small startup team. Got a demo scheduled with ClickUp and Asana
Wrike is great for planning out projects and creating all of the associated tasks and milestones.
If you put the time into Wrike everyday you will see its full potential. Without submerging your team into this tool, you’re just wasting your time
It really helped my team to start a new way of collaborating and improved our delivery time. Additionally, it has reduced the meeting hours spent to check project updates.
We just recently got Wrike and really like the clean UI. However, the live editing feature can sometimes create confusion with our team as it causes movement across the screen. I also wish they had a little bit more customization options available. Overall, a pretty good tool to use for management of multiple projects.
I completely agree with you about the live editing issue and wanting customization options. We’ve been using Wrike for a little over two years and it’s been able to get the job done. As more tools become available with better customization and flexibility we have been starting to rethink our software. May have to start the demo process all over again.
Overall it’s a good tool for collaboration but we’re currently looking for other options
We love the transparency of it! We know what everyone is working on and the status on our projects. We can report on our work and quickly make adjustments to the backlog when needed. There are some buggy things we’ve found with how projects are sorted. It doesn’t cause a major stoppage but is more of an annoyance. If you don’t do the training up front or keep up with updates you can easily get lost.
It has helped us to become more efficient and more productive.
Wrike is a great tool for our marketing department. It is easy to use, easy to train and user-friendly. Reporting is a great feature that we use regularly. Everyone on our team knows exactly what tasks/projects they are to complete each day with the use of Wrike. The team is also held accountable for deadlines. With wrike, we are able to communicate to the department on each task. We are able to report to the field the amount of work we have completed within certain timeframes. The only thing I wish Wrike could improve on is automation and calendar views. The calendars would be very helpful if they were actually configurable and printer friendly.
This software can help streamline efficiency, however, still a lot that the platform is lacking. They really need to improve the training tutorials as it takes forever to get acclimated with the tool.
Okay PM tool
It has really helped us track our projects better. For an immediate solution to project management and collaboration, Wrike is an excellent choice.
Very regularly updated, impeccable customer support, gannt charts, infinite subtasks, revision history for files. Can’t make workspaces publicly viewable (you can export an interactive snapshot of your timeline though). Expensive if you want all the features. Hard to get even a small non profit discount.
Thinking about looking for other options, Wrike is really pricey and the UI is not good.
The tool is clean and well organized. I like the external tools it collaborates with. The notifications and other settings were excellent. I wish you had a personal subscription. I can’t work with the free version because I wanted the Gantt chart capability. However, the lowest paid subscription is for up to 5 people which doesn’t work for a singular person to use
More organization, easier way to track activities (vs. email)
The timeline view has been helpful for managing schedules. I like that you can create a snapshot of the timeline to be able to share among coworkers without them having to sign into Wrike. It was hard for me to wrap my head around how to setup projects initially. I did a lot of trial and error before I found a way that works for me.
Has potential, but ultimately not the most user-friendly
Wrike is a great project management tool. User-friendly, it allows everyone in our team to know which tasks are to complete. It does not take a lot to learn your way through it, it is actually very easy to get around. They have many different features which help us staying connected and on the same page, even though our team is big and it would be very complex to keep it so organized when we have so many different e-mails and information to look into, but Wrike makes it very easy!
My organization uses wrike. Overall, those who use it daily are happy with it. My branch uses it almost exclusively for project planning, which has a nice interface.
A great platform with many useful functions for teams of all sizes.
Got to admin a couple of big projects and it has been really helpful for keeping me on track of my teams.
Versatile features and solutions but not very user-friendly.
Dashboard is clean and easy to understand; mobile app is a “must have”, workflow is great; calendar management is fantastic; security options are good. Sometimes loading takes too much!
Simple, but ugly software
Great for organizing projects and project tasks and discussing one the tasks. The software is meant for collaborative work. Some of the features are hard to learn to utilize because there are so many of them. Still learning.
I can track daily work and reference past projects by job number.
