The most effective platform for management control is Wrike.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I adore how Wrike allows us to be consistent and open with our staff. To keep records of all of our jobs, we used too many charts and manila folders, which frequently went missing and required workers to search the office for the lost files. We can now easily check the status of every job since implementing Wrike.

The lack of a dark option, the inability to assign tasks to dummy accounts or role types for users who lack access or are not yet users, the inability to view projects on the kanban board instead of just tasks, and the dearth of UI themes are all things we don't like.

Almost everything requires multiple clicks, and the views could be more intuitive. Because it is too sophisticated for typical users, it is very challenging to gain team adoption. Additionally, the customer service was subpar. Additionally, I've witnessed community requests for features including the most obvious feature which is the ability to transform a task into a project—wholly ignored.
