User-friendly interface simplifies project management but it requires stable connectivity
We primarily use monday.com for project management within our department, which includes sales, operations, and engineering monday.com makes it very easy to input any information. The style and format are user-friendly, making it practical for our needs despite some network issues. The need for…

A solution that gives you all the information you need to plan detailed projects
The initial setup was just a little complex. I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten. Deploying the solution took two weeks. While deploying the solution, we had two instances, one for the IT team and one for the business team. And we had to connect the two and explain things to the team. Only two people were needed to deploy the solution, me and another person.
Awadhesh Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Pros

"From the user's perspective, and even for me as an implementation consultant, one of the most valuable features is the integration of different platforms with monday.com. In addition to that, the real-time reporting from the dashboards is also valuable, as is the ability to customize it."
"The value is that monday.com provides us with an overall picture of how much work a teammate has."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Board templates are really good when you have recurring projects."
"I don't go on Monday every day so being notified through email and Slack is helpful."
"The best feature for us would be the automation and how they can be set up to email, provide an update, and assign to different people all on different triggers."
"It allows us to know in advance when each part of the project would be finished, and thus optimize our time."
"Automation is great."
"The most valuable feature for me is the ease and customizability of reporting."
"We provided whatever feedback we had to the Planview team, and they went in and built those additional features that we requested. For example, they created a great way for our users to search for a specific resource, project, program, or role. We were not using some of the features, and we wanted them to not be visible, and they helped us with that. They also brought a feature to provide visibility into when a resource was never assigned to any task. There was no visibility to this before. This feature was really very good for visibility into the resource portfolio."
"Its ability to create summary reports across multiple projects is one of the best features. They have very good data warehousing. You can put that out. You can tell that data warehousing from Planview Enterprise One is excellent."
"The solution view into resource capacity and availability helps us to manage work."
"Our transparency is increasing a lot. It is helping us to get people together. There are no dark rooms anymore. In some areas or concepts, we want to add more light to every single concept. That's the big impact that the tool is having. It allows conversations between people."
"The financial planning capabilities are very useful. We have integration for an SAP system, and so we load financial data from SAP into Planview for prior months. And then we use the forecasting capabilities to get a complete picture of the cost of a specific project. The financial management is very useful."
"It has helped improve governance, mostly. People want to know where their money's going. Projects sponsors need to know what we're spending money on and what our burn rate is. Planview can give that to you straightaway."
"The overall interface is very easy to use. It puts together strategy and execution across all your investments."
"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."
"Visibility and organization are the most valuable features of Wrike."
"The most valuable feature of Wrike is the tag functionality."
"We can easily write down the tasks and reorganize them as well as have a progression index. Wrike offers several views including a kanban view and Gantt chart view."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"This is a good tool for project progress tracking and sharing tasks with internal and external parties."
"I find Wrike's form system very valuable. I can share forms with my collaborators, and they can fill them out, providing me with the necessary information. Another useful feature is the communication platform, which makes it easy to tag someone and communicate efficiently. Additionally, the integration with Microsoft Office is great. I can create a card on Wrike directly from my MS Teams chat, which is convenient."
"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."
 

Cons

"Sometimes allocating between team members via the communication tool can be difficult."
"Adding more features would be ideal since there are limitations as far as scalability."
"The feature which needs more improvement or development is the dashboard."
"It would be nice to have more custom automation and also to simplify some steps to better manage a team and a workload for projects."
"We would like to see better Microsoft Outlook integration."
"It would be beneficial to have the ability to toggle between the traditional Monday.com pulse view and a monthly calendar view."
"What would be nice is if I had two days between deadlines and adjusted the day if it would automatically adjust the deadlines, even if I had to change one or two that might no longer work, it would save a lot of steps."
"I believe the reporting functionality could be improved on monday.com. While some reports are accessible, this area has room for enhancement. For example, including a Gantt chart in project planning would be valuable. This addition could make monday.com more competitive with tools like Microsoft Project. Overall, I think there's potential for improvement in the graphical interfaces and reports provided by monday.com."
"The resource area needs improvement. The improvements that have been made recently in the later versions have been good improvements, but I think there are some more improvements needed there."
"The lack of templates harden the initial learning curve."
"The solution is stable. However, it's so robust, there's so much data, that it has the tendency to lag."
"There are some issues with how long it takes to load the data to Planview, It just depends on what your setup is. If there was a way Planview could maybe make the loading faster, in case you do have a lot of things going on with your setup."
"It is not an end-user-friendly product, and that's really the biggest thing. The hardest or the biggest hurdle I've ever had to face was adoption. I did the installation of the HP product in 2011. The company used it from 2011 to 2015, and the adoption was very high. When I was given the Planview product, adoption was very low. It wasn't as extensively used. We actually had people who wanted to go back to HP PPM because the interface of Planview was so broken, and it still is to some degree. So, it is not user-friendly. It doesn't flow the way a project manager thinks. What we did with HP PPM was a lot more manual programming. It wasn't as nice in terms of the interface, and it wasn't as pretty, but you could design it and build it so that everything flows with the way you worked, but Planview doesn't quite do that. There are a lot of screens. You have to jump back and forth. There are so many different places you have to go to just to do some basic tasks. That's the biggest thing that has really hindered adoption."
"The out-of-the-box reports, as far as I can tell, are weak. We've had to build a lot of reports using Power BI, which we connected to it."
"The technical people are very competent, but there is so much turnover in the people that we talk to, and that's frustrating. They will say, "We can make this work." Suddenly, that guy has left, and we have no one. Then, we have to start all over."
"Configuring the UI in the content management system is too elaborate and too time-consuming."
"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."
"Wrike needs to be more responsive to community requests for new features."
"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 product needs to send direct emails to customers updating the latest aspects since it is better to hear directly."
"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."
"We faced an issue with the Wrike outlook add-on; it is only available for Microsoft Office 365, and not the on-premise version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The enterprise plan looks expensive because we don't understand the value as monday.com users. The pro level and other packages seem reasonable."
"monday.com's pricing is fair compared to its competitors, although it is a bit more expensive than most of them. It's more expensive than Jira, Zoho, ClickUp, and Trello. But it is fairly priced when you compare the kinds of features and the capabilities that you get and the ROI."
"It's definitely affordable. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest, but it's definitely not the most expensive. The price is well worth the value that we get out of it."
"I think monday.com's paywalls are a little too high. Some basic features are locked behind the premium subscription. Some applications they offer within their subscription model are locked in an expensive package. These applications provide functionality that would benefit small teams, but it's too much money for a startup or a small business."
"The price is reasonable for the number of users we have."
"The product is not expensive."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"I am using its free version."
"Our licensing costs are probably $150,000 to $180,000 a year with 270 licenses total."
"We have portfolio managers, resource managers, project managers, and time reporting licenses. These are the licenses that we have."
"The cost of other pieces and integrating them in needs improvement."
"I think all in we are at $33,000 a year and that includes Projectplace and Planview. We used to have the integration to JIRA, but we don't pay for that anymore."
"When we went through that process, I believe it is competitive with others on the market. However, there are less expensive options available. It's a more premium offering at a higher price."
"In the time that I've used it, we've doubled up the amount of dollars on our intended projects."
"I don't think we have necessarily purchased everything that I would have liked to have seen."
"We overbought our licenses. We looked at our needs three to four years down the road and tried based our contract on that. However, we were over aggressive. We use about a third of the licenses that we have. We're looking to adjust the makeup so we can start utilizing the amount of money that we are spending. Right now, we're overspending, and my organization is not seeing the value in Planview because we are paying so much for licenses that we're not using."
"Wrike is expensive."
"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."
"From a pricing perspective, I would rate Wrike a four out of five."
