As an official Wrike Partner, we are experts in implementing Wrike software. Keep reading to learn more about Wrike pros and cons, which teams benefit the most from Wike, and how implementation consulting can help you make the most of this popular software.
Wrike is one of the leading solutions on the market for work management software, used by more than 20,000 organizations across the globe, from Walmart Canada to the Texas Rangers, and Fitbit to the University of New South Wales. With its robust customization features, Wrike can come with a bit of a learning curve and a bit of a higher price tag.
It took some time for our own team to acclimate to Wrike, but once we did, it became one of our favorite platforms. Keep reading to learn more about Wrike and whether or not it’s the best fit for your own team.
Wrike is a great platform for teams of all sizes looking for a comprehensive solution to work management. It’s particularly well-suited for marketing teams, agencies, and professional service providers. Creative teams love how Wrike allows users to comment directly on shared assets, making collaboration easy and streamlining the approval process. Wrike’s abundance of features also makes it easy to manage departments and functions across large businesses, so if you’re looking to break down silos on an enterprise level, Wrike software is a great way to do that.
There are more work management tools out there than ever on the market these days, especially as teams have transitioned from in-office to hybrid or remote models of work. At first glance, Wrike software might look similar to tools like Asana or monday.com — and in many ways it offers similar functionalities — but it’s unique in several respects. For instance, Wrike is very well-suited for marketing and creative teams, which can manage entire projects from start to finish within the platform with unprecedented collaboration capabilities. Wrike’s customization abilities are also more robust than you’ll find with other tools, making it perfect for large organizations or teams with very specific processes.
When implemented properly, Wrike can save your team hours. Take, for instance, Fitbit, who estimates they’ve saved at least 200 hours per year in launch prep time thanks to Wrike.
But if Wrike isn’t properly customized to your business, you could be wasting valuable resources or missing out on potential revenue due to inefficiencies. That’s where our team comes in. Our software experts will, first, make sure Wrike is the right fit for you, and then help you maximize it to its fullest potential.
That’s why we work with an extensive suite of off-the-shelf products — so we can find the software that’s the best fit for your process, instead of trying to shove a square peg in a round hole.

Wrike is a project management tool used to manage and streamline all different types of workflows for departments of all kinds. It offers a comprehensive list of highly customizable tools and feature sets. From Kanban charts to custom dashboards, timesheets to workload management, Wrike covers all your bases.
With its Kanban board software, which allows for custom workflows for specific processes, Wrike is a powerful Agile tool. And with its tracking and sharing functionalities, Wrike makes it easy to manage sprints, prioritize backlog tasks, and track progress with visibility for all team members.
Wrike can be set up as a simple CRM, but it’s not a dedicated CRM platform; Wrike is a work management tool that is best paired with your existing CRM. If you’re looking for a CRM, our team can help you find the best solution for your particular business.
Wrike can come with a bit of a learning curve, especially with all of its custom workflows and automation capabilities. However, once this software is implemented, it’s not difficult for users to acclimate to. Its user interface is a simple one, and Wrike doesn’t take any technical knowledge to navigate. Especially for larger businesses or businesses of any size with specific processes, it’s usually a good idea to partner with a software implementation consultant to customize and set up Wrike. After this step, it’s easy to train employees on using it.
Both Asana and Wrike are popularly used as PM tools, but we think Asana is better suited for task management rather than general project management. While Asana’s user interface is among the most aesthetic and user-friendly out there, it offers the least amount of functionality compared to platforms like Wrike. If you’re looking for custom workflows and more advanced processes, Wrike is your better bet. Take a look at our Asana page to get a better idea of what this tool has to offer. Better yet, you can schedule a free consultation with our team, and we’ll let you know what we think would be a better fit for your unique situation.
