Have you ever feel the nightmare of keeping track of your tasks list with your team members? Tired of having emails back and forth between you and your team? Tens or even hundreds of various scale tasks and diverse projects are usually going through a manager’s mind with the responsibility to keep track of all of them. Once you’ve found out that dozens of e-mails per day will turn into lengthy correspondence, meetings and discussions of the details, it will all be too late. Fortunately there’s Wrike.
Wrike is a web2.0 online collaboration service that allows managers to record and keep track of changes in their tasks lists. Wrike accumulates tasks and allows all the people involved to make changes online. You simply record all necessary tasks in the system and others are instantly notified about it. You can also activate deadlines to your tasks, create your own groups, include any task in several groups depending on your own idea of how they relate to each other, assign access to anyone to certain tasks, add attachments to your tasks, see the revision history, and gets email reminders whenever there are any changes in your tasks. Wrike does not limit the amount of activities you can keep track of, and best of all, it’s free.
Overall, Wrike is easy to use, and it does save managers’ time a lot. Wrike allows everyone involved in task fulfillment to have the same access to its details, so all of you are on the same page. WorldTechLogic has posted several onine collaboration services in the past, such as: BlueTie, Cyn.In, ConceptShare, ProgrammerMeetDesigner, Eloops, yView, and many more. Compare to a similar niche application, BlueTie, Wrike does have a lot of catching up to do, as BlueTie offers a more complex application and features. The difference with BlueTie lies in the fact that Wrike focuses more on managers instead of the overall corporation like BlueTie.

[…] Also reviewed at WorldTechLogic was Wrike. I looked at this last week. Brett would you consider looking and comparing with Central Desktop? I’d be interested in knowing what you think. […]

I think the difference with BlueTie lies in the fact that Wrike doesn’t restrict users as BlueTie do. It’s hard to compare these two applications as Wrike is much more comprehensive. For example there is no limits on amount of users who can be involved in an entry/task/whatever_activity to contribute, more ways to edit the information. And the main thing I suppose is that Wrike is based on open-edit model. Everyone concerned has the same rights. Even Wrike is focused on “managers”, any “subordinate” can assign a task to a chief and have access to the same information (of course only the information which concerns his or her). It’s even more on peer-to-peer base like wikis. Web 2.0 in its best

[…] Overall, CentralDesktop offers amazing features for people working together as teams, or within a company. WorldTechLogic has posted about a similar application in the past called Wrike. Unlike Wrike, CentralDesktop offers a more arrays of features. While Wrike only focuses on managers, CentralDesktop focuses more on the overall collaboration of teams (including their managers). It took us a while to explore every features of CentralDesktop, and we’ve found that it is one of the best online collaborations and team / project management applications out there. I can only think of BlueTie and Cyn.In as CentralDesktop’s competitors. If you’re in a team, or within a company, and would like to have a tool to manage your teams and projects, we would highly recommends CentralDesktop. However, if you want free applications with 20 users in default, you might want to go with BlueTie instead, or even Wrike with its unlimited amount of users. […]
