Key User Insights
	Asana	Wrike
Considered Both Products	Asana Verified User Chose Asana I used Wrike a few years ago. It was just okey, less configurable, harder to navigate than Asana. Maybe they improved their user experience over the years. I have also used Jira Software (not being on a development team) to structure projects and work sprints. This tool was … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Asana Wrike is similar but JUST a bit more cumbersome in every way. So if something takes 1-2 clicks in Asana it will take 3-4 in Wrike. Just enough of a lift that it makes it hard for people to just get started working. Instead, you must change your employees to think the way … Incentivized Helpful? Jonathan Whetstone Manager, Customer Implementation in Sales at LeadIQ (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Asana We use Wrike more because the UI is easier and their account management has been stronger. Incentivized Helpful? Michael Anderson Audio Engineer/ Editor at VideoBranch (Media Production, 1-10 employees) Chose Asana Asana is simpler and easier to manage than Teamwork Projects and Wrike for smaller teams, but still offers more features than Basecamp and requires a lot less customization than monday.com. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Asana 1. JIRA is more focused on technical developers. Hard for those non-technical users. 2. Wrike was good for project management assignment but lousy for communication after task assignment. 3. Trello was good for brain-storming a project but lousy for tasks assignment and … Incentivized Helpful? Kenny Madison Junior Video Editor at Chive Media Group (Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose Asana Asana is so much better than Wrike. Wrike has a lot more customizability, but it's too much. Asana keeps things very simple and can include a litany of integrations to help me get the most out of my needs. Wrike, from what I remember, also uses more resources from my computer. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Asana Asana is extremely easy to use and gives us all the functionality we need in order to stay on task and meet deadlines. Trello seemed a little elementary compared to Asana, and Wrike seemed a little more complicated than our team needed. Asana is a good balance and has been … Incentivized Helpful? Elizabeth Coppinger Senior Business Analyst in Marketing at Lucid Agency (Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose Asana Asana is a great balance of simplicity and robustness. JIRA is simply too robust for my team's needs - it is more appropriate for a software team. We did not need the capabilities to customize automated workflows. Our development process is waterfall, so a PM software centered … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Asana We tried it as one my developers swore up and down how good it was at the startup... well it crashed in our office, since we didn't end up working the way they did. We are more of a dev ops company than a social media or open source Incentivized Helpful? Ben Flemming Director of Human Resources in Human Resources at National School Project (Non-Profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Asana Asana hit our sweet spot of easy to try, appropriate pricing for our mid size non-profit team, flexibility, and features. Lots of other platforms have very similar features organized in other ways, but Asana made sense and was fun to work with right off the bat. there were … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Asana I liked that Asana was easier to use, cost less and seemed like they were adding features all of the time. Incentivized Helpful? EDUARDO SANDOVAL Account Executive in Sales at TIGO COLOMBIA (Telecommunications, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Asana Both software are very similar to each other, even in the economic factor, the reason we choose Asana over the others is because of its usability, the software is very easy to use which helps to get the most out of it, in addition to the integrations that provide Asana with … Incentivized Helpful? Tyler Collum Corporate Director Of Human Resources in Corporate at Duke Hospitality (Hospitality, 201-500 employees) Chose Asana We “beta” tested several softwares across our company. Asana was a great fit for our small corporate team. But when we rolled it out company wide, it didn’t stick. We eventually ended up using Airtable - which has worked out well for us. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Asana I like how easy it was to set things up. It was fairly intuitive to setup. Its main features are pretty good. And the main thing is, they are listening to the customer's needs and have built new features that add further value. Incentivized Helpful? Oleg Galimov Project manager in Product Management at Web2win Russia (Events Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Asana Keyboard control. The ability to view and change the task without opening a new page. Incentivized Helpful?	Wrike Eliel Yorobe Marketing Automation Specialist in Marketing at Convey Digital (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Wrike I like Wrike best. I liked Asana, but I think it got too pricey for the features that we wanted out of it. Notion was fine, but I think its ability to integrate with the rest of our tech stack proved difficult. Trello was fine, it was early in my career and I remember its ease … Incentivized Helpful? Chantel Wakefield Sr. Editor in Corporate at The Home Depot (Retail, 10,001+ employees) Chose Wrike They all have pros and cons, but Workfront is the most robust, while Asana is the middle ground for affordability that meets all our teams’ needs. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Wrike In my opinion, Wrike is very similar to Asana (Asana has Wrike beat when it comes to completing tasks. Who doesn't enjoy seeing a rainbow unicorn fly across the screen when marking a task complete). Jira is also very similar but a bit more robust as it integrates with Aha for … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Wrike Asana is more user-friendly but Wrike is more customizable. Asana has clean design and has minimal training required. Wrike is more great for teams that need a more detailed project structure with complex workflows and it offers deeper customization and functionality for … Incentivized Helpful? Makenna Imholte Marketing Programs Manager in Marketing at Jama Software (Computer Software, 201-500 employees) Chose Wrike Neither Jira nor Asana are user-friendly. There are too many layers without visualizing the broader relationship among tasks. I did not actively want to engage with either of these tools. However, I don't view project management as a burden with Wrike. It makes my job more … Incentivized Helpful? Sydney Stevens, PMP Project Manager in Marketing at ZERO TO THREE (Non-profit Organization Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Wrike I was not a part of the decision to choose Wrike over Asana. I know we reevaluate this decision every year. Asana has a much more attractive price point for what we need and is very competitive in that way against Wrike. I think we continue to use Wrike because we do not have … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Wrike ClickUp does have nice features, and Asana used to be a much better interface. Frankly, Wrike can be a bit of a beast to administrate and setup more intricate pieces. The learning curve is steeper than something like ClickUp; but, it is cost effective and simply takes time to … Incentivized Helpful? Karli E Sanders Digital Community Creator in Marketing at Cirrus (Airlines/Aviation, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Wrike I don't get to choose the PM tool in my Team. I would advocate for other tools like Asana, Monday, etc Incentivized Helpful? Nikos Taskos Head of SEO in Marketing at DOPE Studio (Marketing & Advertising, 51-200 employees) Chose Wrike Asana is easier to use compared to Wrike having a steeper learning curve. However, be not afraid, you will be getting that value in a couple of months. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Wrike I think Wrike is comparable against these competitors - it reminds me of Trello the most in terms of interface. I did not personally select Wrike, I am a user, not the purchase decision maker. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Wrike Wrike provides multiple use cases on managing workflow through the various range of functionalities provided. Trello more so provides a straight forward way to obtain a full scope view of projects, but Wrike is more comprehensive in managing all stages. Incentivized Helpful? Jess Jackson Graphic designer in Marketing at Jess Jackson Design (Graphic Design, 1-10 employees) Chose Wrike Great for large project and/or complex projects. However there can be a learning curve. I would possibly choose a different platform if I am working with non-techy team members. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Wrike Very similar. Our global team used Wrike when we merged so we all moved to the same platform Incentivized Helpful? Julia Jones Traffic Manager in Marketing at Abbott Nutrition (Marketing & Advertising, 10,001+ employees) Chose Wrike Wrike always works - it's always up-to-date, never down, and our one source of truth. I wish the mobile version of Wrike was more usable, but that's the only thing where Wrike may not be the front runner. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Wrike Wrike is insanely easier than these softwares. Except Google Drive, but the timelines built in their excels are very messy Incentivized Helpful? Monique Aragon Director of Project Management in Corporate at Oklahoma's Credit Union (Financial Services, 201-500 employees) Chose Wrike Wrike has more automation features and custom usability that allows for flexibility. The workspaces are cohesive and are easier to navigate. Incentivized Helpful? Brian Bulthuis IT Project Manager in Information Technology at San Manuel Band of Mission Indians (Government Administration, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Wrike Compared to other project management software we have used, Wrike is easy to implement and garner user acceptance. Other applications we have used and complex to configure and maintain, whereas Wrike is intuitive and simple to understand out of the gate. The communication … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Wrike The intuitive nature and comprehensive tools built into Wrike have elevated the usability and experience beyond what other systems have allowed. The ground-up collaborative design of the system means that it's simple and logical to bring in new team members and collaborators. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Wrike I've only ever used the above platforms more like a personal to-do list software, which is fine, but I'm not sure that they offer the same robust project management that Wrike does. Wrike makes it easy to shepherd a project through each stage, from inception to planning to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Wrike The above tools are good for simpler workflows, but Wrike is able to cover more of our business processes and operations, and automation is superior in Wrike. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Wrike Wrike is one of my favorite tools I've used so far because although it has vast reporting capabilities, I also find the interface to be pretty user friendly. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Wrike Wrike goes much deeper and has much more enterprise use. I found the other tools to be quite simple, which could be great for smaller operations but wouldn't be able to scale to a larger organization like ours. Incentivized Helpful? Sarah Suhail Senior Director, SEO and Managed Services in Marketing at Dealer Inspire (Automotive, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Wrike Not as intuitive as the others but more powerful. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Wrike Wrike sales team was down to earth, and very facilitative with our disparate set of requirements. They had additional security features as well as solid user stories. In the end all of our PMO offices voted and Wrike came out on top. With a large company any switch of project … Incentivized Helpful?
