"We love the bulk edit feature. Jira also integrates well with Bitbucket."
"Jira is very useful for project management for internal projects."
"The solution offers up great transparency that makes it possible for everyone inside the departmental organization to see what's happening."
"It helps me to use virtual Scrum boards across four locations, three time zones, and to plan my work. It fully supports the Scrum approach, and the Agile way of working, and it has Agile thinking behind it.."
"It's a very easy-to-use and flexible tool. We can easily write and create queues for different themes. It's very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Wrike is the tag functionality."
"In our company, we heavily rely on Wrike. Wrike has helped in communication, managing all sorts of projects and tasks, and having a history of all our correspondence items."
"The product is intuitive. It is easy to learn and update. You can follow the project from the beginning till the end with the help of the solution. The tool helps to update the project in seconds."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Visibility and organization are the most valuable features of Wrike."
"We utilize time tracking and reports most often."
"This is a good tool for project progress tracking and sharing tasks with internal and external parties."

"From the project management perspective, I would say there are a lot of different issues that could be tweaked. There can be small improvements with traceability, for example."
"The hierarchy for Jira tickets is too flat."
"The permissions can be challenging to get right."
"The integration could be better in Jira."

"I think that there is some ease of use that could be brought in to improve certain things."
"Something I would like to see improved is the traceability feature. When you have a user story, if you can see all the test cases, it would be an improvement if you could see any design documents or any change management."
"Wrike needs to be more responsive to community requests for new features."
"It would be great if they could develop more reporting."
"This solution could be improved if we were able to better analyze how the application consumes cloud resources as this can cause a delay in performance."
"The response from the website is a little bit slow, and the tool is too expensive for a small team."
"What annoys me with Wrike and things that I would like to improve is that you need to have a very organized workflow that everyone in the company follows, and only then will Wrike work."
"The product needs to send direct emails to customers updating the latest aspects since it is better to hear directly."
"We faced an issue with the Wrike outlook add-on; it is only available for Microsoft Office 365, and not the on-premise version."
"On one side, it's very easy to create a task with text, but on the other side, it's not very well-formatted. Therefore, it's difficult to track specific data written in a task. We are making templates, but it's not enough to use a template to know the exact status of different tasks. One thing that we are looking for in Wrike is a better workflow. Because we can only move the status of tasks, we can't really manage workflow and send a task to a specific person. This is what is really missing in Wrike as compared to other tools. We are looking to replace Wrike because we need support for workflow. Another issue with Wrike is that they bring a lot of versions of the tool, which it's not so easy. They bring new versions very frequently, and these versions look similar. For example, we are using robots to read the tasks in the tools, which is problematic with Wrike because it is changing very frequently."
