Wrike Reviews

1. Backpack is a thing of the past. But, if you are looking for a replacement to the project collaboration tool, read on. We have the solution.
2. Slack is a great tool to facilitate communication in large and small enterprises alike. Having the ability to send quick messages to colleagues around the world without the formality of an email makes communication more efficient.
3. Connect our Slack integration to create tasks in any Slack channel and automatically unfurl task links to see a simple but rich actionable overview of the task. Drag and drop reordering Literally everything in ClickUp is drag and drop - so fun and so fast.

Wrike And Slack

An old saying wisely warns us:'If the only tool you have is a hammer, soon everything begins to look like a nail.'Let me pose an adaptation:'If the only tool you have is Outlook, then soon everything begins to look like email.' This month's column covers some tools you may find more effective than the hammer that is email. The products mentioned here are just a few of the most popular among dozens of apps in the 'team collaboration and communication' space.

TRELLO OFFERS BEAUTIFUL APPROACH FOR SIMPLE PROJECTS

Trello provides a collaborative workspace for light project management. Its interface is highly visual and uses a drag-and-drop concept with 'cards' and 'lists' representing specific project tasks. It's visually beautiful but lacks several features, such as time tracking and Gantt charts, typically found in more robust project management applications. You may find Trello helpful for one-off jobs. Try something simple—perhaps planning a staff off-site training retreat. And then make one of the sessions at the retreat a discussion of team collaboration tools!

WRIKE STANDS OUT WITH SOPHISTICATION AND INTEGRATION

Wrike's business management software is a significant step up on the capability ladder. It seems to provide most of the features usually found in traditional project management suites, including interactive Gantt charts, time tracking and scheduling, and fairly comprehensive reporting. I found its best feature to be the strong integration with other applications, such as Dropbox, Excel, Google Drive, Microsoft Project, etc. It's available in several languages. The interface is simple and intuitive, and the multiple integrations mean little or no duplication of work. More sophisticated organizations will find some of the high-level reporting features particularly helpful. While Wrike is quite a bit more sophisticated than Trello, it's not nearly as pretty.

Wrike Slack 通知

At its heart, Slack is not a project management platform, but rather it's an online, social-messaging platform for groups. You create a 'team' in Slack and then log in to have group or private discussions and share materials and links with one another. The system groups communications into 'channels' that are roughly akin to Outlook folders or groups. Slack users are passionate, and after a short trial run I understand why—Slack quickly eliminates those annoying email strings in which dozens of people insist on using 'Reply All.' Slack's strength is its notifications, which are customizable and prolific. Another strength is the 'channel' paradigm, which makes including external team members extremely easy.
