Useful project management capabilities, beneficial dashboards, but project planning could improve

The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance. In a future release, it would be beneficial to have a undo button.

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

"Changepoint allowed us to model resource request/assignment workflow in our large PS organization."

"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."

"I implemented for a large client of mine and saw them quickly get up and running and leverage Daptiv to help them manage their IT demand from their internal customers."

"Consequently, it is the single point of truth for both our project managers and our senior leadership."

"Changepoint gives us a view of the project status and needs very clearly, which are things that we used to miss with MS Project and Excel."

"The powerful collaboration is definitely the most valuable and the fact that you can adjust flexibility to almost any methodology, and the easy creation of complete new functionalities without programming code."

"I like the reporting engine, IBM Cognos, especially the analytics. That's a good tool. It's quite strong on the ideation and capacity-planning side, which is a huge plus."

"The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."

More Planview Daptiv pros

"The product is intuitive. It is easy to learn and update. You can follow the project from the beginning till the end with the help of the solution. The tool helps to update the project in seconds."

"Best ever, the fee is high but the level of software is unprecedented and I can't see myself going to any other one."

"Wrike was the only one in our price range that has a complete feature set for those managing projects our size."

"Wrike is excellent at being customized for use and project management."

"With Wrike we’re able to keep task and projects on track because everything is super visible, updates or questions are able to be handled in real time due to the way Wrike captures update data and when tasks or projects run late everyone involved can see it and adjust accordingly."

"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."

"The improvement was quickly seen in project planning and execution because all people involved know which tasks are assigned and to whom."

More Wrike pros

Cons

"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."

"The previous solution that we were using was Projector PSA; it was overall a superior product."

"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."

"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."

"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current."

"I would say there is too much work that has to go into the configuration up front and for the first 6 months to 1 year after, which costs time, money, and resources, and it is not a very advanced tool and seems interface-wise to be behind the times."

"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."

"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."

More Planview Daptiv cons

"It is great for smaller projects, but cannot replace Project or Smartsheet."

"There's always a room for improvement for any product, and they need to include support for re-occurring tasks."

"Sometimes the interface can be messy."

"The pay model is in blocks of users - would be nice to add one user at a time"

"The time entry functionality needs improvement."

"I would like to see a way of implementing a project scope as currently it is just folders, tags and tasks."

"As our number of projects grow I find that Wrike crashes more often."

"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."

More Wrike cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."

"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."

"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."

"Wrike is expensive."

Wrike is an enterprise-grade, trusted work delivery platform designed to help organizations put people and AI to work together on their most consequential workflows. Built on two decades of enterprise work management and powered by the Wrike Work Intelligence® Graph, Wrike gives teams the governed foundation they need to plan, execute, and deliver complex work at scale. Wrike offers tailored solutions for marketing and creative teams, project management teams, product teams, professional services teams, and beyond.

AI-Powered Work Delivery

Wrike has been building AI into the fabric of the platform for nearly a decade, giving organizations a suite of deeply integrated capabilities designed to extend what people can accomplish. Wrike AI Agents handle real work autonomously inside the platform, moving workflows forward within the same roles, permissions, and access controls as your people. Wrike Copilot reduces administrative burden by drafting content, summarizing projects, and generating status reports directly in the flow of work. And the Wrike MCP Server connects AI assistants directly to the platform where execution actually happens, so every AI-driven action becomes part of the auditable record of how work gets done, not a disconnected output living outside the system. All of it is powered by the Work Intelligence® Graph, built on 500B+ historical data points and two decades of enterprise work management, giving every AI capability the structured context it needs to act reliably. Together, they give organizations the governed foundation to scale delivery in a way that wasn't possible before.

Security

Wrike is ISO 27001 certified with SOC 2 and SOC 3 audit reports and full GDPR compliance across every data touchpoint. Data centers operate in both the US and EU, with encryption at rest and in transit. Every AI-driven action in Wrike is permission-scoped, logged, and auditable, with a full audit trail ensuring every action is attributable. Role-based access controls scale to 100,000+ users across 40 or more countries, and OAuth 2.0 security replaces generic API keys with short-lived, user-scoped, revocable tokens so each AI assistant operates with defined, controlled permissions.

Collaboration

Wrike brings the enterprise together regardless of where people are, with built-in communication and editing tools that eliminate silos and foster transparency and accountability across teams. Wrike's MCP Server allows AI assistants to connect directly to the platform where execution actually happens, so AI-driven actions become part of the auditable record of how work gets done — not disconnected outputs living outside the system. Hundreds of integrations, including Slack, Google Drive, and Microsoft Teams, keep work connected across every tool your teams rely on.

Visibility

Wrike delivers real-time visualizations of team and project portfolio performance to facilitate faster, smarter, data-driven decisions. Customizable dashboards, Gantt charts, Kanban boards, and advanced reporting bring full transparency into project status for stakeholders at every level. Powered by the Work Intelligence® Graph, Wrike can auto-generate executive reports pulled directly from live data, giving compliance, legal, and leadership teams project status they can actually rely on.
