Wrike has an intuitive dashboard that shows the progress of the projects and tasks during the project’s life cycle. Unlike Monday and Asana, Wrike has good customer service support. The service center does its best to answer client questions in a short time. Wrike offers seamless integrations with third-party apps like Google Drive, Gmail, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, MS Project, Office 365, Excel, and Salesforce.

I really like the project management part, as it allows to divide projects into tasks with measurable deadlines and assign each task individually to the participants. The access to the Gannt diagram is an additional plus that adds points to this software, as you can see and monitor the progress of the projects in real time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Although for me it was a fairly easy software to use, perhaps because I had already used similar tools, for most of the project collaborators it was not, so it is not so intuitive and easy to handle. It is a bit more expensive than its competitors and perhaps if you have a small business you may want to start with other software, but in the long run the investment is worth it for the many tools and features it has.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

As head of design of the advertising agency where I work and as a user of other similar software, I can recommend this above its competitors, because it is the one that has worked best for us as a team, since not only I as the boss can put the annotations and tasks, but I read daily all the comments of my team which makes communication much more fluid.
