The solution's setup is easy for small organizations. However, it is complicated for larger organizations where you require training since there are many people trying to adapt to it.

We straight forward. Admittedly, we did do an internal audit of all the projects we were doing and developed a structuring for managing those products. View full review »

Straightforward for me since it recommends you to do simple, somewhat gamified and guided steps to get you familiarized with the most important features of the system. I also found the short videos clear and very useful. And they invite you to a webinar right when you start so that you get the most out of your experience. However, I noticed that other people who did not follow through that process had a hard time understanding how it worked. I'm not totally sure how it could be improved as I found it pretty clear.

Director at a legal firm with 51-200 employees
Very straight forward. The only gotcha is that Wrike is very flexible and our team was used to a very rigid system. It is important to spend time training the team and agreeing to certain protocols to avoid chaos. View full review »

As we have been using the program more thoroughly, I sense that the dashboard is highly important, yet it is not intuitive to set up.
