Wrike vs RescueTime: Which is a better fit?

Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Graham. I'm head of Media Operations at EssenceMediacom, and my rating out of five for Wrike is five. So we looked at all kinds of similar systems before choosing Wrike. Monday.com, Visor, Teamwork, Quickbase. None of them really came up to what we really wanted from a system that was going to integrate fully with our systems and support that management workflow from end to end. So the reasons that we chose Wrike is that it was going to help our business through our year of transformation. It was going to help us set tasks and manage tasks and manage that workflow all the way from top to bottom throughout our whole company. It was quite easy to onboard with Wrike. It took somewhere between three to six months. We went into a lot of detail with the Wrike team, they held our hand through the process, and they ended up integrating with the majority of our systems. The advice I would give people who are considering Wrike for their company is it the right fit, is it going to support your management, is it going to integrate with your systems, and is their company the right fit for you?

Eero: My name is Eero. I'm a digital entrepreneur, and I rate RescueTime five out of five. More reviews like this, check below. I use RescueTime to track my time. Basically it works in the background, and later I get really valuable information on how I use my time. So I get to make some changes if they're necessary. And prior to using RescueTime, there were many things I was doing that were not so productive as probably many can agree that they might have the same problem. But with RescueTime, I get really clear and visual idea of what kind of things take time, especially online sitting on the computer and doing things. And it just happens that not everything is always useful. So what I really liked about RescueTime is it was really easy to set up. Most of the categories were already there. It can automatically categorize most of the things online, most of the programs I use. So it was really easy to start. Of course, I was doing a lot of my own categorization later, which is also very practical. It's very easy in RescueTime, so I liked that as well. I like the visual interface. It's very useful to visually see. I'm a visual person, so when I look at the dashboard, I can see immediately, okay, so this is what went wrong, and this is what went right. Also, I like the reports that arrive every week. And I see it's a pretty clear picture of how last week was in terms of how I spent time. If I have to point one thing that I don't like about RescueTime is that sometimes you're doing things on two devices at the same time. You may work on your computer and you may talk on the phone. And what happens is that RescueTime is tracking both of the devices and it records both of those times. So let's say in half an hour, I spent 15 minutes on the phone and half an hour on the computer, it will show that I used 45 minutes, which is not accurate. I hope that they will fix that or make it a little bit more automatic to fix that in the future. But apart from that, I really liked the program.
