More visibility
Smartsheet dashboards tell the whole story with drag-and-drop widgets
Smartsheet dashboards are fully customizable with charts, report, forms, images, web content, and more. Aggregate data across your work to easily share insights with key stakeholders and create site-like portals to keep information in one place.
Wrike dashboards are limited and don't allow external content. Project planning metrics without thorough context paint an incomplete picture.
It's been a tremendous help for me when I'm reporting to the executive team. I can easily show the task lists that demonstrate that the team has thought through every detail for each event. Plus anyone on the management team can drill down, and view documents at any time if they want to find out what we're doing.
Better collaboration
Smartsheet can easily be shared with both internal and external stakeholders
In Smartsheet, you get unlimited free internal and external collaborators who can edit data and manage sheets, eliminating silos and bringing teams together.
In Wrike, the number of free collaborators is limited to a percentage of the total number of paid users. These free users can view tasks and reports, but cannot create or edit tasks (except to change status), and are unable to access dashboards.
Flexible data analysis
Save time and manual effort by using formulas to automate work
With 50+ formulas and flexible column types, Smartsheet enables users to perform fast analysis across sheets without leaving the platform.
Wrike formulas are limited to mathematical operations, unless you purchase Wrike Analyze, a paid add-on. All detailed analysis beyond task status requires exporting your information to a tool built for number crunching, like Excel.
Powerful scalability
Manage change and maintain consistency with Smartsheet global updates
With Control Center in Smartsheet, you can consistently roll out new projects, automate portfolio reporting, and make global updates at scale.
Wrike uses intake forms and templates to start individual projects based on requests, with no easy way to make changes at scale.
Smartsheet met our needs for a platform that would serve the whole company, including support of BYOD and mobility for employees. We've also proven that you don't always need a large-scale project management system. A spreadsheet-based system becomes powerful because it is easy for employees to use.
Comprehensive automation
Automate updates, requests, reports, and more with Smartsheet
Smartsheet empowers users to automate repetitive tasks based on simple rules in order to react quickly to changes, increase team throughput, and save time.
Automation in Wrike is based solely on pre-built templates and status configurations, and cannot sufficiently handle the dynamic nature of changing business needs without Wrike Integrate, a paid add-on.
