    Sprout Social
    IMO it's best for an organization that has a lot of different people working on social media. They could be in different departments or just different members of the same team responsible for different types of posts (corporate, e-commerce, branding, etc.). I don't think it's as vital for a one-person team working solely within the Meta platform, for instance, especially if they're less concerned with detailed analytics.

    Wrike is well-suited for content creation, review, and management. I can't speak to other types of work it can be suitable for because I use it as a writer only, but I would recommend it to other people in content creation fields who have to work with a team. A friend of mine is an editor at the local newspaper, and I think some features of Wrike would make her editing tasks a little easier and promote more cohesion in her team.

    Pros
    Sprout Social
    • For each account, customize posts for each platform, and schedule them to go live simultaneously.
    • Employee Advocacy via Sprout Social has integrated AI assistance for captions. Usually I would generate one suggested caption for employees to use/stem from when re-sharing to their socials. But now, EA message ideas display in random orders to better promote the full range of content.
    • Sprout Social has made the option to gamify the sharing concept quite easily with Employee Advocacy. Using the Leaderboard feature, employees can earn points in Employee Advocacy. Customized point values ensure you know how to climb the Leaderboard and start some friendly competition.

    Cons
    Sprout Social
    • Social media platforms don't always play nice with Sprout so it will always be a challenge to get all integrations to work properly.
    • Sprout Social is a growing organization and they are acquiring new technologies, which can be good. However, they often spend time in meetings upselling new services. I like to learn about enhancements and opportunities but prefer to focus on my investments first.

    • Templating.
    • For example, let's say we are onboarding a new client. There are certain tasks that need to be done. It would be great to be able to create a new project and have certain tasks preloaded.
    • Importing.
    • Importing may seem easy, but there is so much nuance to it. The fact that you need to make sure the parent task comes before child tasks is very difficult to do without the help of AI. Also, I am not sure it is possible if you have a thousand tasks to import, to make sure that you have a folder structure and parent/child tasks.
    • I also find that the documentation is lacking and the 2 import methods lacking as well.
    • Customize my inbox. When I log into Wrike, my Inbox is the first thing I see, but this doesn't show the full picture of what I want it.

    I like Sprout for our needs and I like that it is easy to use. We want something better than HootSuite but don't need a high-level fancy program. The only think I don't like is customer service (except for chat).

    I wish that Wrike had more drag and drop functionality that would be connected to assignee and also I wish that the finish date of a task would update to the date where you checked completed. It does not do that. Also finishing a task doesn't move the start date of the next task it "protects your time in that way", but our management team wants us to quickly see what we have down the pipeline rather than having to scroll down the list of upcoming tasks.

    Usability
    Sprout Social
    Sprout Social's ease of use and navigation throughout the technology are relatively easy to figure out and teach. We also had a representative thoroughly walk us through the features and functionality to set us up for success in using the platform. I didn’t give it a ten because there were times when the navigation didn’t make sense, but once you figured out the quirks, it didn’t cause any trouble.

    The platform is intuitive, easy to navigate, and flexible enough to accommodate the complexity of payer contracting workflows. Features such as custom workflows, automated reminders, and real-time collaboration make it simple for our team to stay aligned and efficient. Wrike allows us to track negotiations and related tasks without needing extensive training or technical expertise, which has driven adoption across departments and ensured consistent usage.

    Uptime was OK, but given the fact that we are in Europe, there were some specific problems: They tended to take the system down for maintenance during the night in the US, which was during our workday. This was definitely problematic and hard to explain to our clients.

    Over two years of (almost) daily usage without outages. Don't remember any errors. I give it 9 only because some Wrike plugins (for online document edit) are based on NPAPI architecture. These types of plugins are being phased out in new browsers, and NPAPI plugins are disabled by default in recent versions of Chrome so you have to do some browser adjustments when you switch browsers or move to another computer.

    Sprout Social's customer support is extremely responsive. They're also always looking for suggestions on how they can make the product better and will actually take your ideas to their team to see if they're worth implementing. I've never had an issue that couldn't be resolved by them in a timely manner.

    During my learning phase with Wrike, I initially struggled with setting up automation rules and request forms. However, Wrike support was always my go-to, resolving issues within seconds or minutes. Their assistance made the learning process much easier. My best experience was receiving step-by-step screenshots to follow, with the support team on standby until I was completely satisfied.

    There are a lot of bells and whistles in Wrike, and not all of it is easy or intuitive to understand once it's plopped in your lap. It's easier when there are a few choice people who understand Wrike as a platform and articulate it in such a way where it makes it easy to pass it along to others in the group

    We use both monday.com and Wrike. While Monday does have a better user interface, Wrike allows us to have more visibility into tasks where multiple people are collaborating. And also to receive project brief-ins and requests for new projects. We use both differently and I would say for us Wrike is more the collaboration tool than the day to day individual task management tool - and it works great.

    The sky is the limit for what can be done in Wrike. We started with 1 use case and within 5 months we migrated several key business practices over to Wrike because they were easier to manage. Use cases so far: process improvement, management review, corrective actions, maintenance requests, month-end financial closing, and document management.

    Return on Investment
    Sprout Social
    • One positive impact has been a huge time saver for our team. Where we once had multiple systems and delays from producing content to approval to publishing, now everything is seamless.
    • Another positive impact is streamlining the onboarding process for new team members. Sprout Social is user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to study even for someone completely new to social media.
    • One negative impact has been the time it takes to wade through irrelevant social listening posts. The filtering is not effective enough to eliminate the noise.

    • Wrike has improved our resource management significantly.
    • Wrike has improved the request intake process for us.
    • One negative impact of using Wrike is that we had to include Workato for some customised automations, which were not supported by Unito, but this can be on a need-to basis.
