Wrike
Enterprise work management with Gantt charts, resource management, and proofing tools.
Overview
Wrike is a enterprise work management with Gantt charts, resource management, and proofing tools. It handles gantt charts, resource management, proofing, and custom workflows, and it's best suited for professional services teams needing resource management. It has been around since 2006, giving it a 20-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.
The free plan is free for basic use — enough for most people to evaluate whether it fits. It's built for enterprise teams, so expect robust admin controls and compliance features, but also more complexity than lightweight alternatives.

Weaknesses
