Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Easily share tasks and projects with others online
Wrike helps you organize all the tasks and jobs you have to do and tasks can easily be shared between team members.
Pro You can manage your tasks through email
You can create tasks via email or update task by email as each individual task can be directly targeted (each task is associated to a specific email address)
Pro Google Docs, Dropbox, Box integrations
Pro iPhone and Android apps
Pro Interactive timeline (Gantt chart)
Pro Instantiation of fully detail process
You can describe a process in detail (every individual step, linked together). You then attach your template to a form. When a user fills the form, the full template is instantiated with all the parameters required for that instance of the process. Roles are attributed. And using the declared subtask dependencies and the due date of the process, Wrike computes a retro planning and tells you when the process should be started.
Pro Lots of different views for your projects/tasks
List, table, Timeline (Gantt chart), Stream, Timelog.
Pro Plenty of ways to organise yours projects
Hierarchy of folders, project, tasks, subtask.
Pro Could easily replace Producteev
Producteev was in advance of its time for years. And yet, after it had been bought by Jive Software a couple of years ago, the development of the tool stopped. Wrike does everything that Producteev does, and much much more.
Pro Time-tracking
Pro Very basic and straightforward
Simple interface and streamlined.
Pro Multidevice sync
Pro Cross-platform
Available on Android, iOS, Windows and web.
Pro Office integration

Pro Infinite color-coded lists
Pro Make todos in one minute or less
Pro The best from Microsoft
Cons
Con Freakishly expensive
Con Task management missing some key task relationships
Several wrike features (example the gant chart) are missing many task relationships found in other project management software. For example, no way to have a delayed lead in (ex. start 2 days after this other task begins/ends), and you are forced to add dates to tasks BEFORE you can set relationships meaning template features constantly require date changes.
Con Only good for developers
Good for developers, but if you want to use it for running projects besides IT, it's too complicated.
Con Few features
It doesn't have a lot of features that Wunderlist had, which was discontinued for this app.
Con No Tag-Manager
Other apps let you better make use of labels.
Con No Natural Language Support
Con A Microsoft Product
Some people have a distaste for Microsoft, and may avoid it for this reason. This includes people who are angry that Wunderlist has been discontinued in favor of this app.
