Wrike Other Advice

Mladen Tubin - PeerSpot reviewer
BIM Manager at PG Design Studio Inc

The value of Wrike might not be evident right from the get-go, so you need to spend some time with it. With the right approach to implementation, it certainly is a valuable tool.

Wrike has more advantages than other software management materials.

I would like to use Wrike even more in the future. However, I only use the free version since its price is too high. I will use Wrike for my personal uses, but I will need to persuade my team to use Wrike for my company.

Overall, I rate Wrike a seven out of ten.

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. We use the product's desktop and browser versions. The tool is dynamic and capable of adjusting to our different workflows. The product is an enterprise solution, so you need to consider the number of people using it and the budget before choosing it. The success of the product's implementation is fully dependent on your leadership and management.

I give Wrike a seven out of ten. The functionality works well, but they are not adding any additional features that seem logical or simple to add. Wrike adds features that they think are good but they don't listen to their customers well.

We have 350 people that use the solution.

I recommend Wrike if it meets an organization's requirements.

I would be 100% likely to renew Wrike due to everything I mentioned, but also because Wrike is constantly improving. With new features and improvements to the UI being introduced all the time, Wrike is a platform that I feel will exceed my expectations for years to come. Wrike seems to care about their customers, and work hard to anticipate their needs before they know they have them. View full review »

Try the free version among one functional group for 1-2 weeks. Then when implementing, run several training workshops and also teach personal task management and collaborative responsibilities of task do-ers. Adopting project management software means 0 or 100%. So commit fully once you start. Less than 100% means tasks will disappear and critical paths cannot be managed. View full review »

First is to prepare the organization to the use of this tool making sure they know why using the system is useful and important for them and the organization. Arrange the account (folders, general tasks) and strategize the logistics of using the system before implementing with a group so that the organization knows how to directly use it from the start. Having the organization members together go through the most relevant features and logistics of how to use it for organizational tasks to get the most out of it. View full review »

You have a lot of tools with the same kind of functionality in the market. You should exactly define the precise requirement that you need from the tool and also think a few steps ahead in terms of the needs of the company in a few years. 

It is not enough to see the present specific requirements because sometimes, the solution we choose is not enough to grow. It's not easy to change from one solution to the other. These tools look very simple, but you have to think about what exactly you want to manage within the tool.

I would rate Wrike a seven out of ten. We are looking for real workflow support and management of tasks features.

Wrike is a powerful tool to make a project a success, in my own opinion, for small and medium projects. With the kind of tasks you can do in some large projects, you can integrate your team members all around the world with Wrike. It has an easy to use web interface, just like a social network, is easy to delegate tasks to your team, and to complete the project well. If you want to implement some kind of small PMO and learn a lesson in integration, you need to use Wrike.

Overall, I would simply say use it, and give a Wrike a chance.

Editor/Writer at a religious institution with 51-200 employees

We've been using Wrike for 2+ years now. We have a creative/editorial team of about 15 scattered throughout our building and offsite, but we work on some highly collaborative projects. We tried several tools before we tried Wrike, but Wrike had the features we needed at the price we could afford.

We've found the mobile apps, subtasks, deadlines, discussion threads, time tracking, and subtask management to be the most useful. The UI is a little unintuitive at first and requires some basic training.

As always with a project management tool, buy-in is the most important part. You still need people who are willing to get organized and assign/accept accountability. If you have that, this tool is very good at helping you see who is accountable for what by what deadline.

Since we do a lot of editorial projects, it has been very helpful for tracking and discussing revisions while making sure everyone is looking at the most current version.

The interface could still be improved, but I think the toolset has been just what we need for our current scale.

Wrike virtually implements itself. The tools and features are so intuitive and easy to use, it's hard not to gain adoption. I would recommend getting a small project team to pilot it as a proof of concept. Wrike also has excellent documentation to encourage adoption from users and sponsorship from leadership/management.

If every project we were working on had an entirely different set of tasks, the planning part and task making part could be cumbersome. Seems like Wrike works well for companies whose projects are all fairly similar or who have people dedicated to plotting out all the necessary steps for each project.
