What differentiates Wrike from other similar products?

it is an easy to use program and has many important features, very different from other programs.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Wrike helps me to organize all project-related communication and scheduling in one spot. I can simply change the schedule with a single click of a date thanks to the program's capability. The tool's centralization and ability to help me better manage my tasks are both something I much enjoy.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I'd want to see a more efficient method of coordinating all project-related communications. "Where did I transmit this?" and "remembering which precise assignment" might be a challenge for me. Also, it would be wonderful to have a central "project updates" task so that important stakeholders don't have to be in the weeds, but I can alert them of big milestones.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

To avoid "spamming" anybody who may be following me or working on a certain assignment while modifying my schedule, I wish there was a method to turn off alerts. Even if we can encourage users to change their notification settings in advance, I don't think it's a good idea. A feature that allows me to turn off alerts while making large schedule alterations and put them back on after I'm done would be ideal.

What differentiates Wrike from other similar products?

There are not many differences with other programs, but the price is a bit more expensive.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Overall, I love this stuff. It has made it lot simpler to organize, arrange, and assign tasks to our team, and has helped us become more organized. Lists are great, and the layout is simple. Simplest way to create a task is to pick the receiver (you or someone else), provide data (such dates and priority), attach files and links, and arrange tasks into folders. I also like being able to allocate the same assignment to many categories. For example, if a task fits within two categories, it may be allocated to both. You may also schedule certain jobs to finish at the same time as others, which is quite useful.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Several key features are missing, and if I phone support, they try to upsell us to a higher level package that doesn't address our present problem. Amusingly, it will joyfully remind you when someone gives you a job... but not if you provide a task and they accomplish it. It will wait until all subtasks are finished before notifying you that the task is finished. This has never helped me in any manner. Due to a strange set-up, you'll have to experiment with several setups to discover one that works.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Please consider this alternative. It's been a great tool, and getting started with it was a snap. Everything was ready to go in a matter of hours. If anything goes wrong, adjustments may be made quickly and simply.
