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.

Project Manager at NebuFlow

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

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

"Reporting of IT capacity available for first time, time sheets available for first time."

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

"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

More Planview Daptiv pros

"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 is the best project management tool I have used so far."

"Visibility and organization are the most valuable features of Wrike."

"Wrike is so easy to get started with and so responsive that it is much easier to get team members to make it part of the workflow."

"We utilize time tracking and reports most often."

"We have been a lot more collaborative and communication has been better since starting to use Wrike."

"Large projects are much easier to manage and keep track of who is doing what portion and when."

"The most valuable feature of Wrike is the tag functionality."

Cons

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"Accessing some functions is a bit obscure and requires some knowledge of how the product works, but the upgrade from v2012 to 2014 improved that situation and I expect the upcoming upgrade to 2017 to further streamline operations."

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

"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."

More Planview Daptiv cons

"The product needs to send direct emails to customers updating the latest aspects since it is better to hear directly."

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

"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."

"When zooming in, I lost the ability to see what I input in the description area."

"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."

"It would be nice if it was a little more intuitive and user-friendly, with less of a learning curve."

"Sometimes the interface can be messy."

More Wrike cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"Wrike is very expensive, and its price is almost $1,400."

"From a pricing perspective, I would rate Wrike a four out of five."

"Wrike is expensive."

"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 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.
