I really like the Gantt implementation in Wrike; it's one of the best I've used on the web. The dependency configuration is fluid with drag-and-drop, and I love that the critical path recalculates automatically. The Snapshot feature is great for comparing the original baseline against actual execution, helping catch schedule slippages early. The dynamic request forms are also something I'm a fan of; they adapt based on the user's input and can auto-generate tasks or projects from templates. The no-code automation engine drastically cuts down on manual admin work and reduces human error. I also rely heavily on the table view with custom fields and the modular dashboards. These features are incredibly useful for adding formulas, budgets, and risk scores directly into a view that feels like a dynamic spreadsheet but with governance and permissions. Dashboards allow me to build a panel with widgets for specific data, and the scheduled reports by email save a lot of manual data export work. Lastly, Wrike's cross-tagging feature solves the cross-team visibility problem and eliminates the need for manual syncs and status-update emails, which is a huge plus for departments like procurement, operations, and IT. On the integrations side, the native connectors and open API let Wrike sit alongside the tools we already use (Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Google Drive and similar), so tasks and files stay in sync instead of being copied between systems. Performance is solid even with large projects: Gantt charts, table views and dashboards with hundreds of tasks load quickly and stay responsive when I edit dependencies or filter data.

The learning curve is steep. This isn't a tool a team opens and intuitively uses in ten minutes; you need someone acting as a system architect up front to define the folder taxonomy, access rights, and workflows, and without that governance, new users can create a real mess in the structure. The interface is also dense, so for a casual user who just wants a simple task list, it can feel overwhelming and overbuilt. And the licensing model is a real drawback: the features that actually make the platform powerful, like Resource Management, Custom Roles, and Wrike Analyze, are locked behind the Business and Enterprise plans, which pushes up the cost per user pretty quickly. This makes onboarding heavier than it should be: the built-in guidance and support resources help, but a guided setup wizard with ready-made folder and workflow structures, plus a simplified view for occasional users, would cut the time to value considerably. Making a few of the premium features available as add-ons on lower plans would also improve the ROI for smaller teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do like some of their newer AI features. I think it’s helpful to use their generative AI to help me brainstorm! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can appreciate that Wrike is adding new features but sometimes it feels overwhelming when they’re sending out so many new feature emails. It’s hard to tell if it’s going to be a helpful new tool for my company or not.

It would be great if they could do a quarterly roundup with quick tidbits of info on each new feature instead of a bunch of one-off emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Wrike is that everyday decisions no longer get delayed because everyone can clearly see the current status of work. I usually use custom workflows, dashboards, and request forms because they provide enough context before making a decision. The best helpful thing was that fewer discussions were needed just to understand what should happen next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some advanced customization options take time to understand, especially during the initial setup. I have also noticed that a few settings require extra navigation before they become easy to locate. More simplified administration would improve the overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We know what it was like to work within obscurity. That describes our former project management tools perfectly. With Wrike, the team has visibility on all of our projects in motion, including top priorities across our sub-teams. Our design team is quickly handed content necessary as our copywriting team completes documented review rounds—all in the same departmental space. The communications functionality of at-mentioning other team members and instant notifications has pulled conversations from the closed channels of Slack out into the open of the team.

The increased visibility to decisions and ongoing conversations has contributed to a more nimble team response and faster deliverable creation. The Wrike interface does require a higher level of onboarding that our team committed to upfront, but once training is completed, each team member can skillfully navigate around projects. Many of the deliverables we create impact multiple projects, and our team members can easily track which projects the deliverables support through projects. We can easily see where all of our many projects are at with a quick view of the Gantt chart, and we can quickly make changes as milestones shift to align with developing campaigns. Wrike is our go-to for our events management, deliverable creation, request management, and email workflow builds.

Wrike's excellent online, at-your-own-pace learning tracks—these helped get our team up to speed quickly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We don't have much to complain about when using Wrike. The most challenging situations we've faced is when we need to loop in other partners from our product team or external PR team, and they don't necessarily need the full option of a license. Connecting them into a project seems a bit overwhelming for a team that doesn't use Wrike within the company, and when we add in stakeholders for review items, they do seem to have a limited visibility into the project timeline.

The other challenge we've faced is with reviews. The Wrike review tool is effective and helpful when it comes to high-level ideas, but with detailed feedback from external teams needing a text tool for highlighting, commenting, and documenting changes, we've had to leverage other tools for the depth and speed of feedback we need. Wrike review does not provide tools for quickly hightlighting, updating, or recommending changes at that level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wrike offers a customizable platform that integrates well with other tools like Outlook, making it easy to manage tasks and collaborate effectively. The customer service is responsive and values user feedback, fostering a community-driven approach to improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Wrike with my team to organize tasks, and I like how customizable Wrike is to suit any kind of workflow. The customer service is fantastic because they actually listen to customer feedback and requests, and they engage their customers with a lively community and rewards for their input. It's easy to set up; I set up the software for my team, and people were quick to learn how to use. Additionally, Wrike keeps all our information in one place so if someone is absent, someone else can pick up their ticket and continue the work. It integrates well with Outlook, allowing me to export emails directly into tasks, which saves time and keeps all the information together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best feature of Wrike is that we can create unlimited spaces for different offices/HQs, and all teams can still work together using the same blueprints/templates. On top of that, you can add many collaborators to your workspace while keeping their access limited, which helps extend the software’s reach without losing control.

The interface is easy to use, it comes with an app, and we can reach out to the help team with any questions while setting up an account. Performance-wise, it works exceptionally well. We’ve currently linked it with Hubspot and Teams, which is another plus for getting quicker status updates. And with the new Wrike AI agents, it’s continuing to improve its AI capabilities.

At the moment, nothing comes to mind. Wrike has updated its software significantly over the years, so it’s really hard for me to complain about anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Wrike is its incredible flexibility and depth. Once you get past the initial learning curve, it completely transforms team visibility, bringing structured workflows and real-time alignment into one place Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, the sheer number of possibilities and features can feel a bit overwhelming and intimidating. There is definitely a noticeable learning curve at the beginning until you fully get the hang of how to structure everything for your team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the availability of training resources as that helps so much with the implementation of the software. I also enjoy the interface, for me, it is a very intuitive place to interact and work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think a clearer separation of the roles of folders and projects would be helpful as there are users in my organization who struggle with understanding the best paths for separating. We've tried creating best practices and sharing trainings but it still is a struggle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Wrike’s design, and the request form makes things easier for everybody. I use it to officially ask someone to do a task, assign it, and get any needed approval with one click instead of chasing people by email. The approval path is clear, and I can look back at previous operations to check them. I can follow how tasks progress, change their stages when they’re finished, and keep everyone aware and tagged. That cuts down on time spent on emails back and forth and makes collaboration easier. I also like being able to centralize information for each project and quickly see what’s been done, what’s left, and key dates through the dashboards and mapping feature. The payment workflow is smoother, and the automation makes the work easier too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have anything that doesn’t work well, but the initial setup wasn’t easy. We needed the right expert to set up our first spaces, and I had to navigate a lot, watch videos, learn how automation and workflows connect to the request form, and do a lot of trial and error. I also think Wrike could have better AI integration to help automate tasks or create workflows after I explain what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I found most helpful about Wrike is that it keeps everything related to the project in one place. It became easier to track tasks, check progress, and communicate with the team without depending too much on separate emails or follow-ups. The platform also helps in managing deadlines and priorities better, especially when multiple tasks are running at the same time. Overall, it made coordination smoother and helped the team stay more organized during daily work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside I noticed with Wrike is that it can feel slightly overwhelming at the beginning because of the number of features and options available. For new users, it may take some time to understand the workflows and navigation properly. In some cases, managing too many updates and notifications can also become distracting during busy project schedules. Apart from that, the overall experience has been good once the team becomes familiar with the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
