Wrike offers AI and automation features to improve their customers' workflows and drive efficiencies. How have you used these features, and what results have you seen?

From 19 reviews | Last Published April 23, 2026

Summary

This report analyzes 19 recent reviews to assess how users are leveraging Wrike's AI and automation features. The reviews indicate mixed experiences with these features. While some users appreciate the customization and efficiency gains from automation, a substantial portion, 4 of 19 reviewers, report not actively using or fully exploring the AI and automation capabilities. Two reviewers specifically mention finding the automation features helpful for basic tasks and customization, such as email notifications. However, one reviewer felt that the features require constant monitoring and lack robust options. Another reviewer expressed that the perceived benefits of the automation features did not justify the effort required for implementation, except for summarizing project status.

Top Quotes

Automation features helpful

“I currently use them - they're pretty basic, but helpful nonetheless. I feel it still requires babysitting, however. It'd be great if they offered more robust "recipes" or functionality as this hasn't been updated in over 2 years.”

“I have yet to use the AI and automation features”

What positive or negative impact (i.e. Return on Investment or ROI) has Wrike had on your overall business objectives?

From 12 reviews | Last Published June 1, 2026

Summary

Wrike has demonstrated a positive impact on business objectives, primarily through enhancing operational efficiency and fostering better collaboration among teams. A significant portion of reviewers, 5 out of 12, reported experiencing time and cost savings, attributing this to reduced administrative overhead and faster project delivery. This efficiency gain is closely linked to Wrike's capabilities in automation, which 4 of 12 reviewers highlighted as a key factor in increasing productivity and streamlining task assignments. Furthermore, the platform's role in improving collaboration and communication was noted by 3 of 12 reviewers, contributing to better team alignment and focus. However, the perceived return on investment is not without challenges. While Wrike offers beneficial task management and visualization features like Gantt charts, some reviewers expressed mixed sentiments regarding the ease of gaining quick project overviews. Additionally, 2 of 12 reviewers pointed to a notable learning curve and adoption challenges, indicating that the initial investment in training and process adaptation can be substantial.

Top Quotes

Learning Curve and Adoption Challenges

“It has challenges in terms of getting so many people to be able to learn the software and switch processes.”

Task Management and Visualization

“Gantt charts are a great feature to allow us to show the client an accurate timeline of when a project is nearing completion. I think a visual display of the tasks that have been completed, in progress, and are still in the backlog is helpful for understanding the timeline of the project.”

Collaboration and Communication

“Efficiency gains due to better collaboration”

Besides Wrike, what other software do you regularly use? How likely would you be to recommend it to a friend or colleague?

From 12 reviews | Last Published June 1, 2026

Summary

Reviewers frequently utilize a range of supplementary software alongside Wrike, with several applications appearing in multiple responses. Microsoft 365, Adobe Acrobat, and Slack were each mentioned by 2 of 12 reviewers as regularly used tools. These applications generally serve different functional purposes, suggesting that users integrate Wrike into a broader ecosystem of specialized software for their daily tasks. While reviewers identified these tools as part of their regular workflow, the responses primarily listed the software names without elaborating on specific use cases, benefits, or their likelihood of recommendation to others. This indicates a general acceptance and integration of these tools rather than explicit endorsements or detailed evaluations within this review set.

From 12 reviews | Last Published June 1, 2026

Summary

Wrike is primarily utilized by organizations as a comprehensive solution for project management and task tracking, a function highlighted by 10 of 12 reviewers. Its capabilities extend to streamlining workflows, organizing tasks, and managing critical functions such as resource planning, forecasting, and workload distribution. Beyond task execution, the platform serves as a crucial tool for establishing a centralized source of truth for project-related information, a benefit noted by 5 of 12 reviewers. This centralization helps teams maintain a unified entry point for new projects, standardize requirements, and ensure all marketing projects are complete before submission. Furthermore, Wrike supports automation through integrations, such as with Zapier and Slack, which helps teams stay informed about overdue tasks and updates, as mentioned by 2 of 12 reviewers. The platform also facilitates external collaboration, enabling teams to connect with clients for product proof reviews and to send reports, a use case cited by 2 of 12 reviewers. This integrated approach addresses business problems related to disorganization, communication silos, and inefficient project oversight across various departments and client engagements.

From 12 reviews | Last Published June 1, 2026

Summary

Reviewers identified several areas where Wrike could be enhanced, primarily focusing on its complexity and user experience. A significant concern, raised by 4 of 12 reviewers, was the steep learning curve and overall complexity of the platform, making it potentially overwhelming for new users or smaller teams. This complexity sometimes extended to the customization options, which, while abundant, were perceived as either insufficient for specific needs or too numerous, leading to confusion for 3 of 12 reviewers. Furthermore, performance issues, including lag during view switching and slow loading times for large projects, were noted by 2 of 12 reviewers. The platform's integration capabilities also presented a challenge for 2 of 12 reviewers, who found the number of available integrations to be limited compared to expectations. Finally, the user interface and various views were described as clunky or busy by 2 of 12 reviewers, particularly concerning task navigation and information display. These points collectively suggest that while Wrike offers extensive functionality, its usability and accessibility for a broader range of users could benefit from refinement.

Top Quotes

Customization and Options

“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.”

Performance and Speed

“Speed/Performance: In my experience, this thing is a behemoth, and as such, there's lag between view switching, takes time to load big projects, and bugs are not uncommon.”

Integrations

“Integrations: I find Wrike to be very behind in the number of integrations... BugHerd? Fireflies?”

Please provide some detailed examples of things that Wrike does particularly well.

From 12 reviews | Last Published June 1, 2026

This foundational attribute enables users to maintain clarity and manage tasks effectively across departments. Complementing this, 3 of 12 reviewers praised Wrike's ease of use and intuitive interface, making it accessible for task creation and project management. The platform's flexibility and customization options, also noted by 3 of 12 reviewers, further enhance its utility by allowing teams to tailor views and workflows to their specific needs. Additionally, Wrike provides valuable visibility into project progress and individual assignments through its dashboard functionality, a feature mentioned by 2 of 12 reviewers. These core strengths are further supported by automation capabilities, which help streamline task progression and improve overall efficiency, as observed by 2 of 12 reviewers.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My team uses Wrike to track all ongoing client deliverables and to communicate updates accordingly. We support quite a few different brands and Wrike is helpful in its ability to categorize and display action items, assign ownership to different team members, and display updates for everyone's visibility. It's easy to lose track of different projects and deliverables, so Wrike serves as a central source of truth for all items.

Pros

Project Management
Organization
Flexibility and Customization

Cons

UI can feel busy at times

Likelihood to Recommend

Wrike is best suited for a team who needs a central tool to help manage ongoing tasks. It could be leveraged internally or externally - I find it particularly useful for client facing teams but the platform's flexibility certainly could have a multitude of use cases.

For example - in a given month, if a team needs to produce 1 monthly report, 2 ad hoc analyses, a QBR, and various other strategy deliverables, Wrike helps keep track of progress and updates on each.

Wrike Assessment for a B2B Marketing Agency

Rating: 9 out of 10

June 20, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company uses Wrike to help project manage various tasks for different clients and we also have our own internal Wrike instance.

On the surface, Wrike's built in status, assignee, and comment functionality allow our team to keep tasks up to date and organized. Usually after meetings with clients, we have items to action on. From here, we create these tasks in Wrike, assign the task to the correct user, populate a description, and enter a start and end date.

We also use Wrike's integration with Zapier. This integration is connected to our Slack instance and lets our team members know if they have any tasks that are overdue and/or are in need of an update. This allows us to automate the project manager role for basic day to day operations.

Pros

Clean interface and intuitive use.
Overall Wrike's interface is very friendly. I will log into Wrike and not be overwhelmed by the tasks that lie ahead. I know where to go to find the tasks that are assigned to me and Wrike's workspace and folder structure allow me to help keep tasks organized.
Wrike is intuitive. When creating a task, populating a name, assignee, start and end dates, and a description just makes sense. Compared to other tools, Wrike is very easy to use.
Dashboard functionality - the ability to create custom dashboards to see what tasks are assigned to certain users.
I think it is easy for tasks to fall through the cracks. With custom dashboards, we are able to avoid this issue
Multiple instances.
We have many clients and being able to switch between instances by the click of a button makes it really easy. In the past, we were using a different project management tool than our clients and we were needing to transfer information from one place to another. This created inefficiencies.
Customization.
Within each project, you can create different views of the task. This allows us to really only display what is really needed to be seen by the team.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Any company that has a lot of moving pieces could benefit from using Wrike or a project management tool. I find it even more necessary if a company is having trouble staying organized and finds tasks falling through the cracks.

I would say that Wrike or another project management tool is unnecessary if you aren't constantly creating new tasks. If you are a company that might have only a handful of tasks, a project management tool like Wrike may not be necessary. If this company has plans to grow and finds that its task list is growing, a tool like Wrike would be beneficial.

Wrike is all right For the right user

Rating: 3 out of 10

Incentivized

June 20, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At our small marketing agency, Wrike is intended to be the solution for managing all our incoming and outgoing work. Its purpose is to act as a single source of truth for everything related to our projects. We use it for critical functions like project planning, resource planning and forecasting, workload management, and time tracking. The goal is to enable our subject matter experts to deliver their work according to clear task information, manage files efficiently, and facilitate reviews and approvals. For project managers, Wrike aims to help them stay on top of their efforts and report effectively to leadership. Ultimately, it's meant to allow leadership to review progress at a glance.

Pros

Keeps all our work highly organized, making it easy to find what we need.
Automation rules are helpful for moving tasks and projects forward without manual intervention.
Wrike houses a powerful search feature.

Cons

Time tracking: This is the most infuriating. There's a lot of nuance and post submission work that needs to happen (think mass editing, correcting, etc) and in my opinion, their capability here falls very short. The capability is very basic, not much more complex than Excel. If time tracking is very important to your business, Wrike is not your answer.
Steep learning curve: I wish Wrike were a little more forthcoming about this. We're a very small agency and this is too much product for us; there's so much dedicated to custom/complex reporting capabilities (not a surprise since it's part of their enterprise packages) at the expense of very basic features. In my opinion, the custom reporting is not for the everyday user, which defeats the purpose.
Speed/Performance: In my experience, this thing is a behemoth, and as such, there's lag between view switching, takes time to load big projects, and bugs are not uncommon.
Views: There's so much nesting going on that when you finally get into a task, you're left with a one-inch tall window to scroll through information. It's really clunky.
Integrations: I find Wrike to be very behind in the number of integrations... BugHerd? Fireflies?

Likelihood to Recommend

If your agency typically engages in large-scale, complex, multi-phase, detailed efforts, Wrike is for you. If you need a nimble, easy-to-use and get started tool, Wrike isn't it.

June 19, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Wrike makes sure that we have a single source-of-truth for all Marketing projects across all different regions and across all different types of projects.

For new projects, it ensures that we have a unified entry point and a standard template for all marketing projects outlining the basic requirements and making sure projects are complete before they are finally submitted.

We also use Wrike to have a single source-of-truth for Marketing material requests so that it is easy to follow-up any requests from the business.
Finally, it ensures we have a historic database to find back any projects in the past.

Within the project management, it is important to note that Wrike also offers a single source-of-truth of who is doing what and ensures we can correctly do our (resource) planning.

Pros

Project Management
Resource planning
Calendar management
Project templating

Cons

Integration with Jira and Confluence
In-depth customization

Likelihood to Recommend

Wrike is ideal for small to midsize companies that need a project management tool. Wrike is a user-friendly tool, for the end-users it is easy-to-use with a simple user interface, users need relatively little time to start using the tool. The tool is also easy to set up. So IT can have the tool up-and-running in no time and users will easily navigate the tool without too much difficulty. Wrike is not ideal for companies (mainly larger companies with a complex ecosystem) that require intense customization and integration. The customization features of Wrike are limited. Also, the integration with our DAM System Bynder works great, but it has been a challenge setting up an integration with our ticketing system (ServiceDesk Now)

June 13, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The greatest strength of this product that I have experienced through my uses is organization and workflow management. Wrike makes it easy to collaborate with coworkers internally in addition to tracking deadlines. I also love the ability to use subfolders and hierarchies which makes it much easier for everyone to organize a certain task within a certain team or pod.

Pros

add collaborators to any task
the checklist functionality which helps keep track of specific items or parts
the 'status' marker that is able to show anyone what stage the task would be in

Cons

the search feature sometimes does not work that well despite using keywords in a task's title
some email notifications seem delayed after an update has been made to a task

Likelihood to Recommend

I mainly used Wrike while working on large teams where it is not only common to have multiple tasks in rotation at once but where there are multiple cross-functional collaborators involved. It has greatly worked for me for times there would be recurring tasks in the pipeline, providing a nearly seamless way to manage the work; another aspect I love is how easily shareable they are, making it easy to track tasks with various team members and make adjustments.

Rating: 9 out of 10

June 13, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Wrike in our organization to connect with our clients so they can review their product proof before production. It helps set a timeline for these cases as well as it helps to organize our submissions by brand. In Wrike, they can let us know easily if they would like something to be modified so that we can go ahead and submit it again with the new proof's orders.

Pros

Allows for a review date to be assigned to different Wrike jobs.
Provides a dashboard where I can see all my current jobs.
Send notifications of any change done to the jobs.

Cons

Provide a window with tutorials for different features so users have an easier access.
Add more category filters for jobs.
Allow the users to assign more people to receive notifications for a job after its created.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited:
-For marketing teams and product development departments, so it can help with the workflow of proofing and approving products before development.
-Supports functions for companies that require handling multiple clients, in a way that you can easily organize it in your dashboard.
Less appropriate:
-Not ideal for simpler task, since it has a lot of features and can come as overwhelming for more basic things.
- Not ideal either for other who require some specific compliance tools or features, since its not as heavily regulated.

We use Wrike to keep track of our cross-channel tasks & send reports to clients to keep them up to date on deliverables. This helps all team members stay on the same page & allows the client partner team to include instructions, files, etc. in one place for the team to refer back to.

Pros

Stay on top of deliverables

Allow to download a view of the report

It's great for our marketing team collaboration, so we can streamline the approval process and know where projects stand. The challenge is when you need a quick turnaround time on something, then email or chat may be easier for smaller or shorter projects.
