Wrike

I’m fully satisfied with Wrike from day one since I’ve started to use it! The support is amazing and the tools are an improvement over any other project management software my company has used in the past.

I. Why Wrike is better

• Wrike can be used by the whole range of people from your team – from moneymen and salesmen to software developers and maintenance guys. And all these people will be satisfied with the tools, which Wrike gives to them for their working process.
• As a project manager with Wrike I’m able to set deadlines and then check who from my team is overdue on their tasks and how many of them they have completed. These insights can be seen directly on dashboards.
• The support team of Wrike is absolutely great. Working with these guys makes you feel that the software is backed by the giant team of professionals. And I’m 100% sure that they are doing their best to make it better and better.

II. Dislikes

• The interface and design. In pursuit of making it more modern, the UIX has become less convenient.
• The price is a bit high, but you know what you paying for – Wrike used by professionals like HTC, PayPal, etc. And these guys are supper serious about their business. If you are serious business then 24 bucks for user - isn´t extreme (we use Business plan).

And since it is the only software, which could force your business to work like a Swiss watch (but of course with your help only :-) So don't let the price discourage you from using such an awesome application.

My favorite aspect of Wrike is the idea that a task can not only be assigned to more than one person, but also "live" in more than one folder. That is invaluable when you are working with marketing, design, copy, operations, development and company partners all on the same task or project. There is so much flexability and simplicity at the same time. It has really increased our productivity and ability to react to changing market patterns.

Wrike's templates and ease of use allowed us to roll it out quickly. It's had a great impact on being able to communicate to customers the impact on the timeline due to their delays.

We're now going to roll out the integration with Jira. We've already implemented the integration with SFDC which works well.

Wrike has a lot of great features, but depending on how many users you have, it can be very expensive, as the price scales based on that, as well as what features you want. My company is working on a tight budget, so we wanted something that was "all in one solution" feature-wise, and could be had for a basic flat rate. After some searching, we found a tool called SuiteDash, and we have been very happy with it. SuiteDash handles all of the features we need, including billing, managing projects, and CRM, and it's all for a reasonable monthly fee. If you are in the market for something similar to Wrike, but need something to better fit your budget, I would highly recommend checking out SuiteDash.

After working with Excel and other sheet based tools I have to say that Wrike is changing my life. Love it!

I have used several project management programs and Wrike by far has the most capabilities and features. I would recommend it to anyone.

I use Wrike to manage my teams' progress, track tasks, perform analytics--it's the best I've used yet.
