We implemented Comindware Tracker since it is easy to implement and has high security features. Additionally, it has electronic form design that doesn’t require IT environment involvement.
Chose CMW Platform
Comindware Tracker requires no coding to automate even complex tasks.

Ease of implementation and usage.
Chose CMW Platform
Error management. With the latest updates, many of my processes have been negatively impacted, generating communication errors, information flow errors, shipping errors, in short, errors.
Chose CMW Platform
Quite easy to setup. Did not require much IT support during the implementation phase.
Chose CMW Platform
Other software required dedicated IT personnel to set-up, implement and monitor it. But I was able to set up Comindware Tracker myself, without the need of much technical expertise.
Chose CMW Platform
I selected Comindware Tracker because it is very user friendly, and it can also be integrated with other applications. This software is very friendly and interesting in the creation of tables and templates.

Comindware Tracker has an advantage over other software because of its ability to create projects without any coding skills. It is also connected to the cloud, hence it stores all the projects online. Due to Comindware Tracker having templets it is easy to form a project.

Wrike
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.
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 …
Chose Wrike
I'm in the process of evaluating ClickUp, and so far, it seems far more robust in the areas that matter (integrations, automation, speed, ease of use) where it could apply to small and medium orgs. I have another call with ClickUp and if their pricing holds, we may end up …
Chose Wrike
Jira is really geared towards IT organizations. It is far more complex to use so it has a steeper learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it does have more customization capabilities and it offers more functionalities, such as extra fields, types of graphs, etc.... …
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.

Chose Wrike
differnt platform and different user features
Chose Wrike
ClickUp and Wrike look very different - when I think of Wrike, I think of larger tasks, but ClickUp I used for smaller lists & used the calendar view more.
Chose Wrike
The visuals are appealing and make it user friendly. It is similar to adobe programs with functionality for approval and editing of documents.
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.
Chose Wrike
Wrike is better than both as it allows for greater visibility and is more similar to an excel based system, which i think has a much better initial understanding of all users.
Chose Wrike
Very similar. Our global team used Wrike when we merged so we all moved to the same platform
Chose Wrike
Wrike has been a helpful benchmark of industry standard. Many people who have used other similar platforms have been able to easily transition to Wrike.
Chose Wrike
I have used inhouse project management tool in my previous company.
It was very slow compared to Wrike, visualisation is better in Wrike, they did not have customised template increasing repetitive work, the tool used in previous company was very slow as it takes like a lot of …
Chose Wrike
Figma is similar in many regards from the ways I've used it. Wrike is far superior to Workamajig in terms of visual language and ease of use; however, Workamajig seems to be more robust for the expansive needs of an agency.
Chose Wrike
It's a bit more user friendly than salesforce
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.
Chose Wrike
Wrike is very similar, but the others integrate with our overall Microsoft organization better
Chose Wrike
Wrike has a much deeper feature set than Trello, though does cost significantly more. Azure Devops is better suited to developer workflows out of the box but overall, I would be inclined to use Wrike due to the simpler UX/UI.
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.
Chose Wrike
Much prefer Wrike - easier to use and much better for the teams that use them as well as managers and team leads
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 …
Chose Wrike
There are similarities in offerings, but Wrike is more friendly in the visual presentation of the projects.

CMW has less integration capabilities, this is something that can definitely be improved in the future. On a side note, the MS Outlook integration option is excellent. The UI is decent for its purpose and the platform is well suited for a range of business requirements - customer order management, document tracking and approval management. You name it, they have it.

Negotiations often involve long timelines and multiple rounds of discussion. Wrike allows us to assign clear ownership, track due dates, and monitor progress so that nothing stalls or gets lost. Redlines, proposals, and finalized agreements can be stored and shared within Wrike, reducing reliance on scattered email chains and ensuring everyone is working from the most current version.

Pros
  • Flexibility in our workflow automation. It’s easy to modify the existing processes when the need arises
  • Web forms creation without a single line of code
  • The parallel approval mechanism allows sending work items to a group rather than a single person
Read full review
  • different views to accommodate different users workflow
  • predecessors and successors to tie tasks together and adjust dates as a group
  • Being able to see other people's workloads so when I am planning my projects for the upcoming quarter, I can set a project delivery date that is better suited to workload and is more realistic

Cons
  • I would like to see Comindware Tracker come in a free pricing tier.
  • I would like to see Comindware Tracker offer more granular roles to be assigned to workflow users.
  • I would like to see Comindware Tracker integrate with more ERP systems and to offer more import/export/migration capabilities from other workflow management systems.

  • 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 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
As I mentioned in my whole review that it is making opration smoother it's capabilities to automate repetitive tasks, reduce manual errors,and improve productivity.Its low code approach allows us to create business apps quickly and easily without requiring extensibe programming knowledge.although it has lots of positive points but there are some issues which is barrier to become perfect that's why I give 8

I love the way task management is designed within Wrike. The full overview, followed by sequential updates, really works for us - this way, we don't need to go into individual people's work subtasks to find what's happening with a project. That's very useful from a project management perspective. The to-do feature also lets everyone access info in one place.

Reliability and Availability

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.

Wrike tasks loads fine, but I hate clicking files and wait for a bit of time since it is powerpoint or word, Wrike assumes I want to open those on Wrike. My suggestion is to link it to office 365 so we do not need Wrike based decoder for PPTX and DOCX

It's more of drag and drop functionality. It is quite easy to set up. Creation of form is very easy. Support Team of Comindware Tracker is good and very friendly. It is efficient in terms of task management, project management, team management, vendor/client tracking.

We've had so many questions during the establishment of Wrike for our team, and the Wrike support team has exceeded our expectations. Our team is naturally curious, and the Wrike support team has always been willing to hold conversations about how we can make an idea work, to show us hidden features that delight us, and to help us plan ways to build out projects efficiently. They meet our questions with multiple solutions and best practices

I love the Wrike training options. Wrike Discover has tons of courses, learning plans, certifications, etc. This is an area where Wrike definitely shines! I wish these resources were more in your face for new people, because it seems like a lot of coworkers didn't know all of this training was available to them.

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

Other than trying Comindware Tracker it is newer to me, I have used Adobe software multiple times and are familiar with their products. I won't stack Comindware Tracker against them because they both are amazing. I like using Comindware tracker because it is easy to use and is great for me, it helps optimize and maintain my workflows.

Jira did not at all help us get our work done as content creators. I think that was because Jira wasn't quite right for our uses. Wrike fits our needs so much better. I can't tell you enough the relief I felt when we adopted Wrike and I never had to use Jira again.

  • 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.
