Great Project Management Product for Small and Midsize firms

Avantages :

Our company tried other project management tools in the past without much success (lack of adoption). However, wrike was the first tool all of our various departments embraced because it is easy to use, powerful, and can be configured to work the way we do. I can't imagine how we lived without this tool for so long.

Inconvénients :

We have very few complaints about Wrike. We have figured out how to make it do everything we need it to.

Alternatives envisagées : TeamGantt et monday.com

Pourquoi passer à Wrike : We already had an account with Team Gantt but weren't using it much. We looked into new features it offered as well as Monday.com. We thought Wrike offered the best of all worlds for our various departments. We are very happy we made the choice to go with Wrike.

Maybe It's Just Me...

Commentaires : IT implemented this system to handle project/programming requests and communicating with other departments about these projects. As an outside department, Wrike has been clunky to use.

Avantages :

I appreciate that Wrike allows us to manage projects with our IT department. The dashboards are helpful for prioritizing projects.

Inconvénients :

It is very easy to get "lost" in Wrike and to have a hard time finding a project, file, etc. The interface is clunky and not user friendly, IMO. I am simply an end user, but I have heard from many other end users in other departments who feel the same way. It could be that my use of the product for a few hours every week is not sufficient to become efficient with it. But after working with the software for a few years, I would have expected to have a much easier time with it, especially with my extensive experience with Excel, VBA macros, SQL queries, Outlook, and implementing other event software solutions for our organization. Wrike just isn't that fun or intuitive...

It's important to keep our marketing staff in sync

Commentaires : We've been using Wrike to manage our in-house marketing projects for the past few years. For a long time, we managed our projects with the help of tools like Google Spreadsheets, Asana, and AtTask/Workfront. With these apps, we found ourselves in a "Goldilocks" situation (too complex). When we were working together, we needed to be able to watch one other's actions and communicate effectively with each other. We found Wrike to be the perfect fit. Wrike was first used by the marketing department. Since then, it's been adopted by a slew of other departments at the organization.

Avantages :

Allows me to delegate tasks to my team and monitor their progress through this app. Working with workflows is a breeze because they allow you to organize the approval process. Your work may be easily viewed and changed on the platform, and our designers use the InDesign plugin for this. The team's activities, whether large or minor, are all under my control. Things that happen all the time can now be mapped out in detail. Because of this, starting a new project is easier for me. With desktop software, you can keep track of open requests and monitor what's going on. Other departments might use a tool we created to place orders for new promotional items like business cards and emails. The form allocates the task to the team member who oversees it.

Inconvénients :

The process of archiving a project isn't always the same. Some projects are left in the inbox for a while after they've been completed and then disappear. Remember the original title of the project or perform a backward email search to identify previous projects you've completed. There should be a way to see more of the projects that have already been completed and those that are currently in development. Like Trello, in which you can see what's in the queue and move things around when they're done, archived, and so on; you can do the same thing here.

The best project management software for remote teams

Commentaires : We're better able to fulfill deadlines because of our better structure and the ability to assign workers to different teams based on their relevance to each assignment. Real-time visibility is what we were hoping for, and it has exceeded our expectations. When projects can be revisited months or years after they've been completed and notes and assets that were originally delivered can be accessed and reused, it's convenient. It completely alters the playing field!

Avantages :

Wrike is a great tool for managing projects, workflows, tasks, and campaigns. Wrike's scheduling and task-tagging features make it easy for us to keep track of our projects. You'll be able to keep tabs on the status of your campaign and see when tasks have been performed.

Inconvénients :

Things can get a little muddled when there are so many people in the system. To ensure that your chosen project entry formats and standards are followed, it helps to have a dedicated resource on hand.
