Wrike for Marketing Review

PROS: This tool is flexible and easy to use. Its support team is great and it provides great videos that help you to better understand this tool. Our team found new way of collaborating and they have really improved the delivery time and reduce the meeting hours for checking project updates.

CONS: First of all, there is no way to automatically export report into PDF format, I have to log in check the reporting system every single day. I’d really like to receive print report in my email. Also, they could make the request from builder more flexible.

PROS: What I like most about Wrike is its flexibility. It allows you to customize the experience the way you want so it can suit all your needs. We were searching for a solution so we can replace home-grown software that is written by someone who no longer works at our place. We are non-profit organization and the price that Wrike offers is great.

CONS: We use this software for more than 3 years, whenever we run into some issues or misunderstandings we call its customer team and they resolve the solution for us.

PROS: Love the product at first. Sadly In 2 of my companies, and in one i know the same thing has happened. We evaluated the software, and the team for one reason or another decided not to use it. Wrike became UNREACHABLE and INFLEXBILE. The do not allow for size or contract downsizing, if you slow or stop using it. For a small firm $1000/month is insanely high for a project management software that you do not use. No matter what we said, they will not compromise even slightly. So we are paying $12K!!!!!! extra for sofware we no longer use. Steer clear of this company if you are using for corporate use. 1 or 2 people maybe ..

PROS: I like that Wrike helps me to stay on track of all the tasks and to organize them, it reminds me to accomplish the things I need to get done by due dates and priority. It is a flexible tool that can be used by any kind of business because it helps you to keep the team together and connected during the projects, it allows you to assign tasks to other members.

CONS: They could make the layout of Wrike more intuitive because it can be little hard to learn it at the beginning.

PROS: Ease of Use, limitless collaboration and ability to locate colleagues and share knowledge.

CONS: Ability to ha e forums to share errors and received support from community.

PROS: There are lot of helpful features within Wrike starting from Gantt chart- that helps you with complex projects that require different tasks or phases in order to be completed, to Folders & Projects- Organization that helps you to manage projects from different angles like: customer-driven, sales-driven, marketing-driven and it allows you to manipulate and move projects into various folders. The Tasks feature allows you to assign the tasks to different people within the team. There is even an option for duplicating folders with their tasks

CONS: I’d like to create dependencies between projects. In addition, when I want to change a tasks’ deadline it automatically changes the subtasks’ deadline and whenever I want to push some things forward/backward with Gantt chart I need to go into each subtask to adjust them as well. Also, the duration can be complicated especially when we have several tasks and we are not sure about the actual time on a given day whether it is enough or not.

PROS: It has the ability to manage complex tasks processes under a single roof and its simple to navigate . Monitoring of project progress is easy and we still use this platform to communicate with other team members during collaboration.

CONS: The mobile functionality can be improved to make easier to work while outside office using Wrike. All other aspects function as expected.

PROS: Overall, this product is not very user friendly and has restrictions based on the subscription level.

CONS: There are a lot of basic features that are excluded from lower subscription plans forcing you to pay for more than what you need. My card was charged during my trail period and they wont refund the subscription even though I chose to cancel during the trial period.

PROS: A very powerful project management tool with some good features

CONS: Be careful with Wrike - after being a customer for 2 years they massively increased our renewal price. It's now totally unaffordable and we're having to move to an alternative, which is especially annoying after the amount of time it took to train our staff in Wrike.

PROS: Wrike is made for managing various projects with various team members. We use it to keep track of all the activities during the last week and while performing weekly team meeting. It allows you to create project and subtasks within the same project. I like the upload attachment feature so we can easily track the tasks that are related to specific documents instead of searching them through emails. Also, the dates on the tasks is also helpful and I like that I get To Do list emailed with all the dates prioritized.

CONS: Sometimes I forget to use Time Tracking feature. Also, when I get an email that someone is editing a task it can be difficult to match up the email and what I see on Wrike. Additionally, it can be difficult to locate specific tasks when they are moved or marked inactive.

PROS: I like how they planned the functionality of this product. It allows you to create new custom fields which is great thing. It offers multiple ways to review all your projects. You can view them as a list, in a timeline, in a workload and on boards. It is powerful tool and it offers great customer service and documentation.

CONS: They could update the interface and improve the mobile-app. Unfortunately, you cannot use this product on anything except on computer or tablet. Also, there are lot of features and you will need some time in order to learn them all.

PROS: I like that I’m able to invite any contact so they can contribute to a project. Its UI is intuitive and it doesn’t require much time to learn how it functions. It allows lot of ways to view the tasks in a timeline and in a project, and this means that different users will get the information that is most relevant to them.

CONS: When dealing with numerous projects the deeper views and settings can be very complex. It is great tool but it has some complexity when it comes to multiple projects.

PROS: I really appreciate that it is not too complex as other collaboration tools get too carried away with all the details.

CONS: The reporting funcion could be a little more detailed. As a team lead I would like to know on some kind of dashboard who is working on what and which tasks have been completed.

PROS: Wrike simply creates "time". Having tired several free trials of various PM options, Wrike immediately offers the user a user friendly, intuitive, and contemporary framework/design. Thorough analytics with a variety of views generated with less than 1-3 clicks; ahhhhh measurement, tracking with little to no effort or time...you can apply the time and efforts on actual projects and tasks. The collaboration and all in one hub design gives back HOURS in day bc you aren't chasing, searching, categorizing emails to find the trail of info, drafts, approvals, etc. The Outlook integration is tops - communications with wrike application users and external to wrike. With Wrike, you can have scheduled reports, daily view tasks, etc. sent to yourself, others, or a distribution list, and all have links to the specified items. And not enough room here for app praise. (The app rocks)

CONS: The export to excel functionality could be improved upon.

PROS: Other solutions we used so far do not match the simplicity and flexibility of Wrike. Its creative arrangement of folders enables us to sort tasks by agency client and department. We also use Wrike’s API to place the tasks into our custom marketing reports each month. Plus, Wrike’s draggable waterfalls view and overall interface are a dream to work with. At the same time all these features do not hamper Wrike’s flexibility at all.

CONS: Wrike’s default dashboard as well as reporting feature could be improved. However, I understand that Wrike is not a custom app designed specifically for our company’s needs. For example, we have a range of alarms for many types of metrics and these issues cannot be solved by Wrike or any other software for that matter as they are not written specifically for them. Apart from these issues, we find Wrike is a perfect software.

PROS: The collaboration and organization that we've gained from this are amazing!

CONS: It takes a while to fully get accustomed to the program, but that is a minor thing.
