It helps with project/task flow by streamlining work when we have a lot of reoccurring projects. But, it can't budget time and scheduling at a quick glance.

What is most valuable?

Wrike is excellent at being customized for use and project management. Understanding the way that you can use the tool to flow projects/tasks within our organization has been extremely helpful. Generally, duplicating tasks have been one of the best features introduced so far for us as we have a lot of reoccurring projects so this has significantly reduced time and helped streamline work.

What needs improvement?

The main thing downfall for us is the lack of ability to apply time (budget) for tasks/projects as well as scheduling to make sure that we aren't overstacking a department with too much work at a quick glance.

For how long have I used the solution?

2 years

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

There aren't any issues with deployment but you do have to think creatively if you are going to have the tool function to your unique needs.

Technical Support:

Great.

How was the initial setup?

It's complex due to the customization that you can do. But once you understand the system, it's pretty easy.

We use it to manage all tasks, assign them out, and collaborate within the tool. Yet, it lacks custom notifications for discrete tasks at specific times.

Valuable Features:

I started using Wrike 4 years ago at a previous company and now I'm still using it today with my current company (we had to get them on board). We manage ALL tasks in Wrike. If there's anything we need to do, we put it in Wrike, assign it out, and collaborate within the tool. It does everything we need.

I have used a few different task management tools. Asana, Trello, Producteev, Todoist, Wunderlist, Microsoft's stuff; but Wrike tops them all. While it sounds a little cliche, I haven't found something that I wanted to do/organize that I couldn't do on Wrike. It allows for nested upon nested sub tasks, timeline views, priority management, time clocking, and awesome collaboration. 

Improvements to My Organization:

We had a lot of people, including myself, losing track of tasks or projects. Not any more. 

We really stick to things and keep track of what we're doing thanks to Wrike.

Room for Improvement:

You can't get custom notifications. If I want to be notified of a project at 10:15 a.m. on Sept. 12th, I cannot.

Use of Solution:

More than three years

Deployment Issues:

None

Stability Issues:

There have been times in the past that a description wouldn't load properly but it's generally very stable. Never been down or lost any data at all!

Scalability Issues:

This is where Wrike shines actually... you can do anything you want with a limitless number of people!

Customer Service:

Very good. They even have a great Twitter help account.

Cost and Licensing Advice:

Pricing when we started was a lot lower but now there are a lot more features. It is worth the cost.

The notifications issue does go in the minor pain category. I use a set date, usually on a milestone task to get me a reminder of a task that needs to be done on a specific date. But a task alarm would be a nice feature.

The Enterprise edition has valuable analytics, but it would be nice if the "basic" paid version had more options.

What is most valuable?

Simple/powerful hierarchy. The analytics in the Enterprise edition are great.

How has it helped my organization?

Great way for our employees to send in project requests/ideas and then for us to be able to prioritize and schedule them.

What needs improvement?

More options in the "basic" paid version would be nice.

For how long have I used the solution?

2 years

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

None so far.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Not at all. The mobile platform is remarkably stable as well.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

No, our enterprise is able to use it and customize it to individual departments.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

A+

Technical Support:

Haven't needed to contact them.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

No similar product was used company wide. Having most departments using the same solution.

How was the initial setup?

Straightforward. Email invitation to join and that was about it as far as user set up. Tags/folders are set up per department and as needed.

What about the implementation team?

In-house.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Enterprise is the way to go.

In my experience if you don't organise it well and do some occasional tidying up it gets messy. Then some users find it hard to work with the mess (like some people can't stand a messy desk; others don't mind). Other users find filters or views that provide clarity for them. And others just tidy up (but may spend too much time tidying rather than doing). So I guess you may lose some engagement and some time 'wasted' keeping things tidy/organised.

Some features I really enjoy are the ability to add tasks remotely by email and also keep up to date with their iPhone and Android apps.

Valuable Features

The email integration tool, the ability to assign and reassign different folks to different tasks and the ability to connect with Google Drive, Dropbox and Onedrive.

Improvements to My Organization

This keeps projects out of my email and into a workable timeline that can be shared and assigned to others.

Room for Improvement

The interface takes some getting used to.

Use of Solution

Has enforced time and task management within our organization and allowed our department to juggle all tasks and projects.

What is most valuable?

Every feature in Wrike adds a value to the way we work in our organization. I wouldn't pick a feature by itself as all its features create a solid ground for a solid solution.

How has it helped my organization?

It has enforced time and task management which made our projects smoother and allowed our department to juggle all types of tasks and projects.

What needs improvement?

I see the product as a perfect match to our needs, but I hope that Wrike will introduce a full fledged incident management system within the same platform.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for 2 years now.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

Deployment was smooth with the help of the Wrike support team.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Not at all.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

No, Wrike is perfect to our needs and I believe that Wrike's team has great potential to introduce more into their product.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

10/10

Technical Support:

10/10

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Yes I did previously use a different solution, I switched because it wasn't as friendly as Wrike.

What was our ROI?

All I can elaborate on here is that we were able to close more projects than expected and save the company thousands of dollars.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated Project Place.
