Editors' Review of Wrike

Our 6-point review of Wrike

In this video, we analyze the Wrike software product on 6 critical dimensions: Usability, Maintainability, Performance, Integration Ease, Functionality and Customer Support.

Pros
What users seem to especially like about Wrike is the combination of traditional project management tools with a social collaboration workspace where project team members can interact, discuss ideas, and collaborate more efficiently and effectively. Others highlight that because the company launched the project as recently as 2006, they feel the platform has the right mindset upfront in today’s increasingly digital and social environment. Other users note that the ability to duplicate initial project parameters from a master project makes creating new projects more efficient. The same goes for the ease with which recurring tasks can be set up and edited.

Cons
The drawbacks to Wrike tend to take the form of “wish-list” items. Some users note that sub-task creation/editing is not yet enabled when accessing Wrike through mobile devices. Other users have noted that features that don’t pertain to their type of work take up valuable space in the user interface, which means a greater ability to customize would be appreciated. In general, users note that while the company is aggressive on rolling out fixes and new features, those seem to take much longer to become available in the mobile environment.
