Likelihood to Recommend [Citrix Podios's] customer support is very quick and they provide you an option to convert your project into small tasks so that you can better assist your team and extract maximum work out of them hence I will totally recommend its usage. I could not think that keeping track of tasks could be this much easier and smart. It is a fully customizable tool that manages my tasks efficiently and deal with them effectively.
Read full review TeamGantt is wonderful for organizing long and short term projects that have lots of tasks and or people involved. I love that it's "in the cloud" so I can manage no matter where I am or what device I'm using. There is a mobile app that is quite easy to use and sized nicely for people who have trouble reading small/fine print. I find it to be a well-suited tool for ongoing projects where the tasks change weekly - I use it for my newsletter planning. You can assign and label tasks which is super convenient for me and my Team. All through the week we are making changes and suggestions in TeamGantt and as we get closer to publication day we mark the stories and objects as done so we know we will finish everything before our deadline.
Read full review Pros Very easy for people without coding or technical skills to set up and maintain information in "Apps". Platform is very easy to learn and adopt--it's intuitive. Project management potential is awesome--instead of having to fit your projects into a structure that is industry specific, you can build an app that tracks what you want, in the order you want it. Has a "relationship" field that allows you to relate an individual item or record to a record in another app. It effectively gives some of the functionality of a relational database. Very useful for information sharing when staff members are in different regions or places. Read full review In TeamGantt, clients can remark on any undertaking and keep their visits inside the errands. Reports can likewise be connected to any undertaking. Clients can channel the errands by the due date and what their identity is relegated to, and they can change over Gantt graphs into PDFs. The arrangement is accessible for each client each month's membership premise and offers support using telephone and email. Read full review Cons More filter options for calendars. Customizable views for Relation fields. Full featured Podio mobile App for iPad. A customizable profile status – would love to work with Podio in silent mode (logged in while working, but "not available" for requests when in heavy work mode) Read full review Task assignment matrix is a bit clunky. It's a bit difficult to see distribution of work for each assignee, but not impossible. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Podio customer service is great. The cloud and mobile service is fast (almost instant, continuous syncing ). With a solid user base, and backed by Citrix, this is a serious business solution. They're also constantly working on improving and making it more powerful. I anticipate it only getting better
Read full review Usability It is usable, for sure. Requires a bit of thinking to be really useful.

Read full review Performance It works all the time and if I have a question, support get back to me ASAP
Read full review Support Rating Podio support was always responsive and very quick to provide answers and assistance during the history of using this product, their support team has always been top notch. There have been several cases where calling podio support a feature was not available and they provided either workaround solutions or added the features straight into their roadmap.
Read full review I never interacted with them. That, in itself, I feel represents their quality. They made the resources available to me so that when I started to have a question, the answer was either right there for me, or easy to figure out without any trouble. So, I never felt the need!
Read full review Implementation Rating Could of got more help sooner and mapped out structure after the 1st month. Future planning
Read full review Alternatives Considered Compared to Salesforce: Podio is not as robust as a tool for CRM tracking. It also doesn't have the in-email capabilities that SF offers. Compared to Basecamp: Podio is somewhat similar to Basecamp but doesn't offer the same functionality with checking items off and archiving projects. Compared to Zoho Projects: Podio is vastly superior to Zoho Project's lack of flexibility (requiring a development team to build) and accessibility by all members (Zoho Projects requires a very limited number of "owners" of projects which makes it difficult if multiple owners need to assign one or more people to a project).
Read full review Our team uses
ClickUp for task management.
ClickUp has a Gantt chart feature, but it's based solely on the tasks we create in
ClickUp , so in order to create a client-facing chart, we'd have to completely change the way we assign tasks to our internal team. We use TeamGantt for the sole purpose of creating project plans and viewing project statuses at-a-glance. You might be able to use it for task management, but we don't.
Read full review Scalability As you business grows, so does Podio. There seems to be no limit to the workspace and apps you can create on the platform
Read full review Return on Investment Podio is great for task assignment and tracking. The ability to enter and assign tasks from mobile and track their completion saves me several phone calls a day. Podio outdoes email as my go to place to search for information. The ability to forward emails into the system, organize by projects and contacts, and search it all saves considerable time and confusion. Podio has considerable potential to reduce overall admin time spent organizing information (filing, tracking, etc) The ability to keep a single record of a given piece of information without being tied to email vs file structure works very well. Read full review TeamGantt has had an overall incredible return on investment. In the past, we have tracked strategies/projects manually (MS Excel, etc.). Having a tool like TeamGantt has improved our efficiency greatly. The ability to see where a project stands (intra-department) at-a-glance has improved our ability to observe statuses. TeamGantt has definitely helped remind me to drive on projects that would normally have gone "stale." Read full review ScreenShots
