Wrike has completely changed how to coordinate work. We're not a huge organization (around 40 people), but we're spread out geographically, and Wrike gives us a shared single source of truth for what's being done, who owns it, and what needs to be done next. The Biggest win is how well it supports asynchronous work. People can make progress on a project or task, leave context, tag the right teammates, and keep our work moving along without constant check-in meetings or endless emails. The result is clearer handoffs, fewer dropped balls, and a level of communication and coordination we honestly did not think we would ever achieve.
Ease of collaboration between users and ability to set up different tasks as milestones or blueprints.
Wrike provides a real-time dashboard that helps Top Management in taking the necessary actions to support long term strategy execution. It also provides customization that helps companies in successfully executing/following the company processes and procedures. This also provides us with the comparitive data analysis based on the Planned Activities and Actual Activities done, which is absolutely a critical metric for the business efficiency analysis.
1. Internet dependent. If you're offline, you're stuck. There's no real offline mode or way to download a cached set of projects/tasks to work on them and sync changes back when online again. 2. Learning curve is steep. Onboarding has greatly improved since we first stared, but Wrike is anything but instant for brand-new users. People need dedicated time to learn how your organization uses the tool. It helps to have a dedicated individual within your organization to support training, onboarding, and adoption. 3. Task/project sprawl. Wrike is powerful, which also means it can grow messy and fast. Without solid governance, you will end up with uncontrolled sprawl. Having a Wrike Owner or Wrike Controller makes a huge difference in keeping things organized. Wrike could assist with such a role by having better controller tools that allow for bulk management on a system-wide scale.
The biggest issues have been setting up the platform well for separate teams without having too much visibility into other teams. This creates extra clutter that IC's don't need to have visibility into.
Mobile Application for Wrike is very basic and limited in use as compared to the desktop version which makes it on-the-go updates limited. The visual presentation of the data is not mature enough to be presented to the Top Management. We need to export the data to excel to do further analysis using Power BI and/or Excel.
