Helps us to implement and understand the status of our projects
The initial setup is straightforward. The solution's deployment takes around two months time. We have to set up the solution. We have to put in the data to ensure that the solution is working. We need to fill out our process, our tools, and our data. Two developers were involved in the deployment process. It is a self-maintained solution that requires updates from time to time. I rate the setup an eight out of ten.

Easy to tag people and has a form system to collect information but cannot work in multiple channels simultaneously
There are several areas where Wrike could improve. First, it doesn't allow accessing multiple channels simultaneously, which would be useful. Transferring data from one project to another is also difficult. It would be easier to work on parallel tasks across different projects. I've noticed others facing similar issues when I check the chat on their website. The tool should also improve coordination between external stakeholders and collaborators. It should also integrate financial features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The dashboard is the most valuable feature."
"ERP approach to IT (edit architecture elements as data using forms, easier for many people compared to drawing / modeling) Hundreds of predefined reports (not only for analysis but also for displaying profiles for single elements like an application including dynamically generated diagrams based on edited data) Very sophisticated meta model (dozens of man years of experience condensed in it) Enterprise collaboration features Web client for the enterprise, either on-site installation or running in a private cloud."
"My personal experience with the product was good, primarily because of the support team's responsiveness."
"I would recommend trying planningIT"
"Wrike is a flexible project management tool that can be adapted to meet your needs while assisting your team in becoming more collaborative."
"Using Wrike improved the way our organization functions in several ways: It provides a single repository for all projects, inter and intra-team collaboration on projects, ability to reallocate resources across projects in a more agile manner, it gives project management more visibility and democratizes project management by making the tools so easy to use that team members take more ownership of project tasks."
"Wrike provides us with this system in an intuitive, robust platform that is beautiful to look at."
"Gantt charts and its robust functionality allows for almost all project management to be done on the gantt chart view itself, from creating tasks to adding dependencies."
"Wrike is excellent at being customized for use and project management."
"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."
"Tagging and following of tasks."
"Wrike is a great collaboration tool."
 

Cons

"The user-experience, enhanced performance, and in-hand governance can be improved."
"The tool is clearly not very intuitive."
"Only few predefined integrations with other tools exist, most integrations are implemented via an integration module based on XML typically needing vendor expertise."
"It doesn't allow you to quickly see whether certain teams are over-scheduled at a quick glance."
"However, support email reply should not take 12+ hours to those people who live in 12+ hours difference of timezone."
"The product needs to send direct emails to customers updating the latest aspects since it is better to hear directly."
"We feel that the actual project reports and roll-ups could be a lot different. We are seeking something more for the dashboard. We would like a high-level dashboard that can be broken down into individual product roll-ups and tasks that are assigned. If you assign someone to a task, it assigns them all of the tasks under that. We want to be able to break those down so that a person doesn't have an 800 task list, for example. We want more separation with that and a higher-level dashboard experience."
"Wrike needs to be more responsive to community requests for new features."
"There is a learning curve, so employees just starting out with Wrike take a few weeks to feel comfortable."
"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."
"The response from the website is a little bit slow, and the tool is too expensive for a small team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. There is a yearly licensing cost. There are no additional costs, only the standard license, and the cloud license."
"Wrike is expensive."
"From a pricing perspective, I would rate Wrike a four out of five."
"Wrike is very expensive, and its price is almost $1,400."
"Wrike is not so expensive, but I don't know exactly how it compares with other tools. Wrike might not be so cheap when we are using it for a lot of users."
