Seamless and Efficient project management tool

This is the best project management tool our company has used. We have improved internal communication and better coordination over work flow. There is a slight learning curve, but once you overcome this, the features Wrike offer make collaborating seamless. Task management in PM software is sometimes overlooked as a simple to-do list; however, if utilized correctly, it can make your project teams extremely efficient. Wrike stands out by incorporating a rich list of task management features from setting task priorities to grouping tasks by projects. The only thing I would like to see improved upon in the immediate future is the editing of permissions and rights for users, specifically if there is a large shared task.

Best PM system for managing distributed team

Time tracker, gmail and outlook plugins.

Android App

For how long have I used the solution?

Since May 2014

How are customer service and technical support?

Best ever customer service.

How was the initial setup?

Straight forward after using PM systems for 10 years.

What about the implementation team?

In house

What was our ROI?

I measure ROI more in terms of time saved rather than money, so it is hard to measure but I am not giving it up any time soon.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Just the monthly fee

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Trello, My Intervals, Basecamp, Timecamp

What other advice do I have?

Best ever, the fee is high but the level of software is unprecedented and I can't see myself going to any other one.

It has the ability to group tasks by project/folder/department without repetition. However, It needs to be improved to handle more complex projects.

What is most valuable?

The most valued features to us are the sleek design and the ability to group tasks by project/folder/department without repetition.

How has it helped my organization?

All communication is now logged and everyone is held accountable for timelines and decisions taken. We do not need to microfocus.

What needs improvement?

It needs to be improved to be able to handle more complex projects by introducing an MS Project, like a tabular interface, so adding many tasks becomes easier. Dependencies also need to made simpler in their creation. 

For how long have I used the solution?

Four to five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

No issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Yes, due to issues elaborated in "areas of improvement" about complex projects.

How is customer service and technical support?

The technical support is very responsive, but they are unable to keep up with feature requests, even seemingly simple ones.

How was the initial setup?

It was straightforward.

What other advice do I have?

It is great for smaller projects, but cannot replace Project or Smartsheet.
