I now use content studio and feedhive as an alternative to eClincher. These tend to be better solutions since eClincher rescinded their LTD from its users.
I used Sprout in a past life and while it does have some more features and might be a bit more aesthetically pleasing and a tad more intuitive, it doesn't have the queues feature eClincher has, and it is much more expensive. The only feature I miss from Sprout really is the …
In my quest to find the best Social Media Management software, I tried just about every service out there (scrolling through Capterra, TrustRadius, and G2 Crowd to find new programs). I was able to go for about 4 months on free trials alone and kept a log of the pros and cons, …
There are loads of social scheduling tools out there. I was using Buffer but then found it was limited in terms of listening and reporting so I started to look at a more professional software. I tried Hootsuite but hated the interface, way too busy with the primary focus …
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.
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 …
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 …
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.... …
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.
We use both Wrike and Smartsheet to satisfy our necessities. Smartsheet gives us a platform to input more information, while in Wrike we stablish contact with our customers for proofing before product development; information that goes directly into our Smartsheet once the …
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 …
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.
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.
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.
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 …
If you are on a tight budget and sick of comparable options, this is the ideal solution. For an incredibly reasonable price, this can do everything I need to manage social media for a handful of mobile apps simultaneously. If you have infinite money, handle massive brands, and harbor huge expectations for powerful social media tools, you should go with one of the pricier options. But keep in mind, this will end up being the difference between $99 USD a month, and $3,000 USD a month. You need to really decide what you need before making that leap because, in the mobile world, it's often the case that money like that is best allocated elsewhere.
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.
We use eClincher to schedule posts and reply to messages on various social platforms.
The platform compiles all of the social outlets so that we can see and reply to all outlets in the same dashboard.
The reporting is wonderful! Easy to generate and easy for clients to read.
There are so many outlets to post your message, the more on one platform the better. There are a couple of things that we've requested from eClincher and they've always been able to deliver.
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
It's not very visually appealing, but this is not a dealbreaker.
The reporting features could definitely use some work. I still get more value from the native SNS pages, but this is quickly changing. They removed the "export to CSV" functionality, but they plan to reintroduce it soon. As mentioned previously, they really respond to criticism well and update the tool constantly.
The inbox could use some work. I don't like being directed offsite to view certain comments deemed "requests for further info" when they could just easily display them there.
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.
Unless the price of eClincher moves to a point where it is too much to justify, I don't see any reason why we wouldn't continue to use eClincher for our agency. The value at this price-point is unbelievable and we'd be foolish to move to a pricier program purely for the sake of slicker graphics or UI. eClinchers pricing is fantastic, and is only matched by its functionality—it matches or beats any of the major Social Media Manager SaaS programs out there for a fraction of the cost. This tool is great for growing agencies, but would also be useful for any marketing department or large agency that wants to streamline their social media workflow.
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.
Its usability was good until they changed their plans and stopped their LTD program for its early adopters who helped raise the tool by giving it positive reviews. I don't think eClincher is ethical in any sense based on the recent actions.
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.
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
[In my experience,] due to the fact that they did a bait and switch on their plans and blamed AppSumo for the lifetime program ending is simply wrong. [I believe that] it's unethical to get support and reviews from their early adopters then take the plan away later.
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.
Be patient. eClincher isn't perfect and has some software issues. These issues will be exacerbated if you get frustrated or have a slow connection. If something "breaks" or locks up, just refresh the page and re-do that step. It may take your team a couple weeks to get use to using the new system. Once they've gotten the hang of it, I'm sure they'll love the amount of time they save. I'd recommend taking your time with the set-up. Though there aren't a lot of steps to get everything squared away, you can break the process into small chunks to make sure you're managing your time. To just hook-up all the social accounts, it may only take an hour or so. But, if you want to set-up all the extra tools (such as user accounts, listening feeds, posting groups, schedules, etc.) it'll take longer. I think it took around a day to set-up completely, but your mileage my vary.
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
I used Sprout in a past life and while it does have some more features and might be a bit more aesthetically pleasing and a tad more intuitive, it doesn't have the queues feature eClincher has, and it is much more expensive. The only feature I miss from Sprout really is the customer history feature.
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 significantly enhanced our workflow and productivity, ensuring accuracy and efficiency meet high standards. Our work now reflects professionalism and top quality. Other departments have taken notice of how organized we are thanks to Wrike, and we take great pride in our work—all made possible by this platform
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.
