Wrike Reviews & Product Details

It seems like they’re willing to reconfigure the app so it works best for our needs. There’s a lot of flexibility in how it can be structured, which makes it easier to set up in a way that fits the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It isn’t built specifically for construction management. It also doesn’t have the ability to lock certain inputs so they can’t be edited by others, especially changes to dates and durations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For the first time, it’s genuinely easy for me, as a project manager, to track our team’s work. The integrations with other tools are helpful, and there’s no confusion about who owns each task. I still need to learn more about using the reports, but I’m excited to keep building our process as we go. My favourite feature is the workload view, because it helps me make sure our team’s capacity is planned well and stays realistic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how you sometimes have to click a few times to see all the info in a parent task, cascading has solved this to an extent. But I would like to see files cascade down as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wrike helps keep everyone accountable for their parts and deadlines when we have a lot of moving pieces and busy people working on projects. I like that it's easy to coordinate with our team and that I get notified when someone needs something from me. I find the forms for invoices and design the best feature because they keep everything streamlined. I also like the form and calendar functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Wrike a little cluttered, and I wish I could color-code things and organize projects more easily. I have ADHD, and it isn’t really suited to someone like me because there’s nothing that distinguishes one project from another. It’s not an easy plug-and-play format, and the initial setup wasn’t super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customization. We always say "everything is in pencil, not pen". Makes it easy for us to try out new workflows, make sure it works before transfering everything over. The user interface is easy to understand and does not require a lot of training from my end for the entire team. The support is great, I always get a speedy response from our rep whenever I need clarification or support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish we could be a little more custom in what we do and do not need. For example, I had to jump a tier and pay an extra $30+ per user/month to get one report. I ended up finding ways to make the report myself offline, but this was an issue we figured out after paying that amount for almost 2 years before realizing thats the only added perk we purchased Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve used Wrike for about a year to manage my SEO tasks, and the biggest win is having everything in one place. I set up a custom workflow with stages like Research → Brief → Writing → Optimization → Published, so I can see where every page or article stands. Recurring tasks are great for ongoing SEO work like monthly technical audits, rank checks and backlink reviews because they show up on schedule instead of relying on my memory. Custom fields let me track target keyword, URL and priority directly on each task, and the Table view makes it easy to scan what needs attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s a learning curve. It took me a few weeks to set up folders, workflows and custom fields the way I wanted, and the interface can feel cluttered because there are so many options. The mobile app works for quick updates but isn’t great for real work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As part of Cigna, I’ve been using Wrike for the last 8 months. It was a very new software for me at first, but I really like the UI design and find it very easy to navigate.

One improvement I’d suggest is in the Gantt Chart: I’d like dependencies to be easier to create, because sometimes I run into issues when connecting one dependency to another.

I also appreciate that it already offers integrations with multiple enterprise software tools, which reduces a lot of manual work. I’ve found it to be responsive in both the Windows application and the web version.

It’s also much cheaper than other software, for example Smartsheet, which saves a lot of money for the organization. As an admin, I’ve onboarded multiple users and found it very easy to provide KT to new users. From my own experience, I was also new to the application, and it was still easy to utilize the functionality.

Cigna AI has not been enabled yet, but I’ve tried a few functions as a beta tester. Summarizing and automating workflows felt much smoother compared to other competitive applications in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d like the Gantt chart UI to be improved. When I create dependencies, sometimes it’s hard to track the dependency path because the lines overlap and get superimposed on each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the format/interface makes logical sense and it is very customizable enough without being burdensome or making feel like I am way in the weeds. I also really appreciate the ability to comment and tag people within items. I am a designer this is crucial, since I am constantly needing feedback before I can move on to my next project. I also like the built in approval option. I also think it offers really great value price-wise. When comparing Wrike to similar products, it just checks off all the boxes while still being easy to use and not insanely expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with anything there is a learning curve, and since Wrike is such a powerful tool I honestly feel like I have only scratched the surface of how to fully use it. I know I get a million emails from them all the time about conferences that are upcoming but maybe it would be better to send training snippets beyond the first few weeks of getting Wrike.

I particularly like how seamless it is to create multiple projects and view them concurrently. My favorite feature is the blueprint feature that allows me to replicate common projects without inputting all new information every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is small, but I really dislike that the cntrl+K shortcut does not add embedded links and takes me to the search bar. I also wish there were more ability to incorporate icons for different projects for easier identification and categorization. I also wish photos/videos, etc. were more easily incorporated to each project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As both a daily user and Wrike administrator, I continue to appreciate the platform's flexibility and scalability. The improvements to dashboards, automated workflows, request forms, and reporting have helped reduce manual administration and improved project visibility. The real-time collaboration features, custom item types, and integrations make it easier to manage complex projects while ensuring teams stay aligned and informed.

While Wrike is a powerful project management platform, there is still room for improvement in advanced calculations and data analysis capabilities. Calculated custom fields remain more limited compared to Excel or dedicated BI tools, making complex reporting challenging. Enhanced dashboard customization, more advanced formula options, and greater flexibility in cross-project reporting would further strengthen Wrike for power users and administrators managing large portfolios.

The ability to collaborate with teams across the globe. The onboarding is quite easy and people figure out how to use it quite quickly. I have my calendar integration turned on which massively helps to not miss deadlines.

The interface is quite straight forward to use, things are usually where I expect them to be, the dashboards in particular are my favourite feature to track all of our projects.

By creating blueprints we have cut down on time when it comes to setting up projects and we have added detailed request forms to make sure we get as much information as possible in advance, which cut down on the time spent on back and forth previously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Switching between space and account views can be clunky. If things re opened on account level you cannot change space level statuses for example which can be frustrating as our team uses specific statuses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
