The first three weeks are genuinely hard
This rewards a proper setup and punishes a casual one. We assigned an owner for three weeks to build the spaces, forms and blueprints. Teams that rolled it out and hoped are the ones writing the angry reviews.
Pros
Holds up at high project volume where lighter tools fail
Cons
The features worth buying sit on the Business plan

Cross project dependencies matter to us because a delay in one client's asset delivery genuinely moves another project's schedule. Most tools model dependencies inside a project only, which was useless for how we work.
Pros
Native time tracking and billable hours

Requires someone to own configuration to succeed

Request forms fixed our intake chaos
Proofing is why our creative team stopped hating project software. Stakeholders mark up the artwork directly, comments attach to a specific version, approvals are recorded. We used to run reviews over email with nine attachments and no idea which was current.
Pros
Request forms that capture a complete brief and create the project
Cons

We manage about ninety concurrent projects across four teams and it does not fall over. We came from a board tool that was lovely at fifteen projects and became a wall at sixty.

Configure it properly or do not bother
Team at ten dollars is fine and nearly everything that makes Wrike worth choosing sits on Business at twenty five. Request forms, blueprints, approvals, time tracking and custom fields are all up there. Plan against Business.

Notifications were overwhelming out of the box
The default notification volume is relentless. Half my team had muted it within three weeks, which defeats the point entirely. It is configurable and the defaults train people to ignore the tool before they discover that.

Native time tracking means our billable hours come out of the same system that holds the work. We ran Asana plus Harvest before and reconciled between them monthly, which was a job nobody wanted.

One system replaced three for our agency
Blueprints mean a new campaign launches with the same twenty two tasks, the same dependencies and the same owners every time. Our newer producers do not have to remember the process because the process arrives with the project.

The mobile app is slow and the navigation does not match the desktop mental model. People use it to approve something and nothing else. For a platform this capable the app feels neglected.

Custom item types let us model a campaign, a deliverable and an asset as different things with different fields. Forcing all of that into a generic task was what made our old tool feel wrong.

The first three weeks are genuinely hard
The folder, project, task and custom item hierarchy is powerful and it confuses everyone at first. Our team was visibly lost for the first fortnight. By week four they were fast. Budget for that dip rather than being surprised by it.
Pros
