I have been looking at Wrike again and after watching some of their tutorial videos, have found that it has some interesting features as to how handles folders and items assigned to folders. Unfortunately, some of the other features it offers are only available in its enterprise edition, so I am looking for a program that handles folders in a similar fashion (allowing items and subfolders to be assigned to multiple folders). If anybody knows of program that offer this feature, please feel free to suggest.

Now on to the 5 stages.

As I made my request above for a project that looks like Wrike, I am reminded of the 5 stages of Cary Grant:

--Who is Cary Grant?
--Get me Cary Grant.
--Get me a Cary Grant look-alike.
--Get me a younger version of Cary Grant.
--Who is Cary Grant?

I decided to sign up for a trial of Wrike because it had a set of features and a UI that made sense to me. On signing up, I received a auto-generated email message from their CEO asking why I signed up for Wrike. I decided to take a few moments and elaborate on why I was interested in their product, as well as ask if they could come up with a solo user pricing option. I am hoping that my comments are read and that I receive some type of response since it was initially solicited from Wrike, but time will tell. I will post an update should I receive a useful response.

I have not received any response or acknowledgement to date, but am still trialing the program. Unfortunately, it is absolutely slower than molasses in responding to any input, and I am not having this issue with Asana or Todoist. Does anybody know if this is a common issue with Wrike, or am I just having issues on my machine/network? If this is normal or not unusual, then it does not matter how well designed their program is. I am hoping this is no the case, and I will try it again on another machine/network, but not a good sign.

I was giving Wrike a spin again since they introduced Projects feature, but the program still seems to be very slow in responding and updating. I find this a bit unusual as I recently read an article showing their installed user base which is quite a bit larger than products like Asana. Anybody using Wrike and having performance issues?
