I appreciate how easy it is to set up a template for a repetitive request from cross-functional teams. It saves a lot of time and generates the necessary subtasks and workflows for each team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's way too much customization in workflows. The ability for each team to create their own project workflow is not a benefit, it's a hinderance. It's easy to get lost in what workflows teams prefer to use. Also, the complete lack of adequate calendar or dashboard views is disappointing. There's no good way to see every active parent ticket and their associated status at once. The dashboard view is severely lacking. The initial setup was challenging at first, and many teams did not find Wrike intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am in love with Wrike's request forms mostly; we really have an amazing time dedicating time, structure, or structuring our ideas in a way that makes sense to simplify the intake of projects. I also like that Wrike is super flexible, allowing each team to organize their projects and ideas in their own way. It lets us work within spaces, folders, projects, tasks – you name it. With at least 10 different teams working actively in Wrike, we've been able to organize them effectively. I have been really enjoying the AI part lately, as it helps me find information quicker by tracking down meeting notes for specific projects. Lastly, I really enjoy the dashboards, which people often ask for help to create because they allow teams to see their own work and work submitted to other teams.

One of the main things that people complain about is that it's super complex at the start. Since it's so flexible, I think it's a little bit hard to understand what's the right way of using it. It's not as user-friendly from the start. I would love to have more follow-up questions in the request forms because right now, we only have one follow-up question, which complicates things as it forces us to create a new page for more specific questions. I think the user experience in the mobile version is not amazing. There's room for improvement, although it's getting better. Also, I'd like the availability to select if it's going to be a regular user or a collaborator directly when I get a submission to add a new user from my mobile version. The request forms don't allow separating tasks from projects, leading us to decide after the submission whether something is a project or a task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Wrike is great for project planning, task tracking, and team collaboration. It helps organize work with clear timelines, dependencies, and priorities, making it easier to manage deadlines and workloads. I appreciate Wrike's strong task visibility and workflow flexibility, especially its customizable dashboards, timelines, and automation which make it easy to track progress and manage priorities across teams. The real-time updates reduce ambiguity and prevent work from falling through the cracks. Workflow flexibility adds value by allowing processes to be customized for different teams and project types. I can adapt workflows, automate repetitive steps, and adjust priorities without disrupting the entire project. I enjoy how these features save time, reduce manual follow-ups, and make collaboration more structured and efficient. Wrike's integrations with tools like Slack, Google Drive, and Microsoft Teams help centralize work, reduce context switching, and keep everything aligned in one workflow.

One area where Wrike could improve is usability for new users. The platform is feature-rich, but the initial learning curve can feel steep, especially for teams new to structured project management tools. Some advanced features and settings take time to configure properly. Additionally, customization and reporting options can feel overwhelming without prior experience, and certain advanced capabilities are locked behind higher pricing tiers. With simpler onboarding and clearer guidance for beginners, Wrike could be even more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve started to like Wrike’s improved dashboards and reporting, which make it easier to tailor views for different stakeholders. The automation features also help reduce manual follow-ups, and the workload view gives better visibility into team capacity for planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wrike can still be a bit overwhelming for new users, especially during onboarding. The learning curve is quite steep, and it takes time to get comfortable with navigation and setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the ability to edit information in Wrike, whether it's from a copy perspective or leaving comments on a design. This is a crucial part for me and my content team. Another great feature is the ability to email folks who don't use Wrike so they can get everything they need, review and all of that good stuff in a timely manner. We don't have to do things outside an email and then import it; it's all done automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do wish that they had a feature that you automatically mark things. I think some of the requirements for the fields could be better if we could have mandatory fields, like department fields. As well, some of the automations could be a little more well-rounded to serve our group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The native cost rate tracking at the user level is something not many other PM tools have built in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We left Wrike when they removed the list view — it's difficult to see high-level details within a project view now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the schedule view in Wrike because it's very easy to see and edit. I can easily change the time of projects, and add or remove items from this view, which helps me stay organized for the day and week. This feature allows me to plan and organize my schedule effectively, letting me know how long things are expected to take and making it easy to adjust plans as needed.

There is a serious issue with sending PDFs on Wrike and how it displays work. PDFs made from creative platforms like Adobe Illustrator don't show correctly. For example, something with a gradient that fades to 0% opacity will show up way too strong. It also displays color and shape glitches, so viewing directly in Wrike is not a possibility. Downloading the work and viewing in a PDF viewer fixes this issue, at the cost of convenience. Also, loading these files to view in Wrike can be very slow. The initial setup of Wrike was very difficult and not very intuitive; it took many months of consistent use to learn, and there were plenty of teething problems.

I love using Wrike as a project management tool for my in-house creative marketing team. It has been a lifesaver for organizing tons of requests into clear tickets with timelines, briefs, and assigned resources. I also enjoy using the approval tool for reviewing assets. The timeline feature is my favorite. It's so easy to create timelines using predecessors and blueprint templates. I rely on a handful of blueprint templates that I created, and I appreciate how easy it is to adjust huge timelines with the predecessor feature. The bandwidth tool is another highlight for me, as it not only helps estimate bandwidth but also allows me to see what everyone is working on in one concise area. Setting up Wrike was a fairly simple process with the help of our Wrike representative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I tend to have trouble when creating reports. I usually can't rely on any reports as they are - I need to export them to Google Sheets and then make my own manual updates to create my own visuals/charts. I wish this feature was more more flexible with how I want certain data to be organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how I can put it in Gantt view, which really helps me look at a project and a timeline, and all the predecessors and everything, as far as the steps that a project takes from start to finish. I also appreciate being able to deep dive into each of those phases or tasks and assign them to other users who can help me complete my project. Another thing I like is the ability to look at PDFs, mark them up, and have others see those comments, which is really useful for me at times. When I first started using Wrike, I found it pretty self-explanatory and easy to get into. It just takes a week or two of getting in there and going through it.

I don't know how much AI is involved with Wrike currently, so that could be an improvement. I would also like for it to be able to measure projects better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Wrike allows me to house tasks and share with others, cross-linking in an organized way. I also appreciate the form submissions and guest review process. It's very intuitive to start using Wrike, which makes it easy for anyone to get going quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that the views in Wrike have limitations. I would like more views that function like spreadsheets, and I wish the List view was brought back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
