Compare PPM Express vs Wrike
First, we’d like to give a quick nod to the team at Wrike. They’ve built a great product to help businesses (and if you’re here because you’re evaluating PPM Express vs. Wrike, or looking for Wrike alternatives, then – you’re already doing the right thing by looking for a product that will help you have better project portfolio management processes).
PPM Express
PPM and Product Management
PPM Express is not just another all-in-one PPM platform. Instead, we connect and integrate all your existing project management tools, all your existing projects, and epics in Azure DevOps Boards, Jira Software, Microsoft Planner, and Microsoft Project. Then, we mix in all the capabilities of the modern PPM Software – visually gorgeous, easy to use, in a user-friendly, modern interface.
The founding team at PPM Express has been implementing Microsoft Project Server & Microsoft Project Online for Fortune 500 companies for the last decade. We believe that such heavy-weight, custom-build platforms are an excellent fit for some large organizations but require significant investments and support and, in the long term – impact the adoption and use of the software for an entire organization.
Wrike
Project Portfolio Management
Wrike is a free task manager and project management system with built-in time tracking features. Whether you are a small team or an enterprise-level user, Wrike will be useful to you.
Wrike has many competitors because of demand growth in a chosen niche. PPM Express also often echoes with the Wrike functionality. But are there crucial differences between the two project management platforms?
Let’s look deeper into software solution features to have a fuller understanding as a user on a daily basis:

02/ About product
PPM Express
Our entirely different approach is based on three main principles:
– Easy to deploy(ready instantly, no consultants needed)
– Easy to integrate(Integrate your existing project management tools, including Office 365 and Power Platform)
– Easy to use(new, modern, lightweight user interface, and easy configuration approach)
If you are open-minded to new and better and simpler ways of deploying, DIY configuration, and ease of use – PPM Express is a great choice.
Wrike
The Wrike platform offers general project management capabilities for IT project teams as well as marketing, creative, and service features with a range of plans for different team sizes and functions.
We believe Wrike proved to be a feature-packed solution that can do as little or much as a team desires.
Since early 2021, Wrike has become a subsidiary of Citrix Systems and is a part of the vendor’s enterprise portfolio, targeting the growing adoption of hybrid and distributed work environments.

04/ Summary
PPM Express is different – it is a genuine cloud software product running on secure Microsoft Azure, and it is instantly ready-to-use. PPM Express can be tuned-up any time along the way – and you don’t have to be a consultant to make that change – any user can make a configuration change, or build a new project template. We are proud of how easy it is and that no consultants are required. We introduced a new way for organizations to realize value faster, see results more quickly, get better ROI and protect existing investments in other tools
Wrike as a project management software is a respectable SaaS-based tool overall. The application is well-built and contains a wide range of features. However, it has issues with the user interface and the absence of a clear path on how to proceed. Pricing is another significant barrier for new and small enterprises. If you’re looking for project management software, you can surely find a solution that is less expensive with similar capabilities as Wrike.
