The lab I joined was paying but really not using Basecamp. It appeared complicated, and most importantly it charged by user which really didn't help our team. At that point it was not easy to use email to create/update tasks and also there was a limit on the projects. All these reasons motivated me to find a new solution that matched our flexible and ever changing group with a large number of small and medium projects.

Yes and I spend a lot of time researching options. The prior solution was full featured, but was just too complex and painful to use, especially the collaboration features. We felt it was more important to have a tool that employees would actually use and encouraged collaboration in the tool rather than by e-mail so that project conversations would be saved with the project, even if that means having to split budgeting, invoicing, and other financial features into another tool.

We are also using Trello, which is a very similar tool. We are using Trello on a smaller scale than Wrike. It's a free tool, and we are using the free version of Trello.
Wrike is an enterprise tool, and it has more features than Trello.

We switched from excel and Outlook.
View full review »Yes, Base. It wasn't as intuitive or visually versatile.
View full review »Redmine and Netsuite, were so hard to use, and sometimes difficult, besides poor performance.
View full review »I was using my job email, and this is not similar at all. This program has everything you need to organize your days in one same place.
View full review »Yes, switched because we needed a way to communicate with others on the project regarding their input on the tasks.
View full review »We tried two or three other project management tools before we tried Wrike. Wrike was the only one in our price range that has a complete feature set for those managing projects our size.

Previously we were using Excel and Word documents to track our projects. We needed to switch because these weren't scalable or effective.

With other products, we did not have easy access to a Gantt chart, which, for us, was vital for project planning. Trello provided a clean "big picture" view of where projects were in the workflow, but I have been able to create folders in Wrike which has helped me with this. I do miss the way Trello could lay things out for me simply and big picture like; but that did not outweigh the benefits and advantages we found with Wrike. JIRA felt too complicated to use for the projects we were managing. Our engineers use it for bug ticketing, but we never got in a groove using it.
View full review »The company didn't use Project Management tools - in fact there wasn't any effective project management. Wrike has made it easy to get people to participate, because it's very user friendly.
