Podio
Chose Podio
I used Keap for about 5 months and after spending dozens of hours and thousands of dollars, found it did not do what I needed (invoicing was a problem). I am currently using Zoho One for business and like that it has a lot of features I need at a price that is less that if I …
Chose Podio
These options weren't available when we picked Podio. Podio cannot compete with these options because Podio chooses not to actively develop, communicate with their customers or build system stability. Any serious customer should consider these as showstoppers when looking at …
Chose Podio
[Citrix] Podio has smart features for project management. There are many functions that are missing in Clarizen One, so [Citrix] Podio keeps better functionalities than it. It is a reliable and straightforward tool with a smart interface.
Chose Podio
As everyone knows Asana is a well-known project management solution but because of its ranking Asana and its functionalities are coming down and coming up with some complaints. So, I decided to choose Citrix Podio because it works well and provides effective services.
Chose Podio
I only listed Slack because it is similar in that you can coordinate with external and internal teams. You can share files and chat with other individuals. Slack is severely lacking compared to Podio though. Podio has the capabilities to track tasks, finances, projects, …
Chose Podio
Basecamp is as the product ironically states, much more basic. While basecamp allows for form generation and tracking of projects and forms through workflows, basecamp leaves a lot to be desired in the way of customization, historical tracking and workflows.
Chose Podio
Podio is a custom solution, where Mavenlink was a less robust, less feature-rich solution. We simply outgrew Mavenlink and don't have any regrets. Mavenlink did its job during the time we used it. In order for us to successfully grow with our business, we needed a custom-built …
Chose Podio
We actually use Airtable for some (different) databases, but have found the flexibility of Podio and integration with Globiflow to be superior for many of our needs.
Chose Podio
Podio is decent for task management. We selected Podio to learn about the product and how to work with the product going forward. It feels like more of a project management tool than a CRM. The limited reporting and contact management features leave much to be desired. There …
Chose Podio
We were trying to find a cost-effective solution (we're a small company) that would allow us to store all our client contacts and notes and help save our team time. Podio's globiflow feature does this really well. Other options we looked at didn't have these features or gave …
Chose Podio
We really hadn't used other project management software before Podio. We relied heavily on Outlook and Excel for communication and organization. Podio allows for more visibility across employee task lists and projects and helps us collaborate better.
Chose Podio
We felt that Podio was more customizable than Wrike and met more of our needs as a company since it was able to go even deeper into managing projects by automating workflows with the webforms.
Chose Podio
We actually use both Podio and Salesforce. Podio is used for more internal communication and projects. I work for an event planning company and we use Salesforce for more external conversations and budgeting/invoices.
Chose Podio
We now use Slack which is similar in functionality. We still don't use it much.
Chose Podio
Asana, Basecamp and Trello are great for simple task management. Podio has more features than each of the other software and is a more comprehensive solution.
Chose Podio
Podio's easy app customization is the strongest asset of this software. It is user friendly; thus reducing training time for all employees.
Chose Podio
Basecamp definitely is simpler but it's also far more restrictive. I felt like Basecamp wanted to force me to work a certain way and it also isn't as robust as Podio in that you can't build custom apps for it. Custom apps have been a life saver for me as I can structure them …
Chose Podio
Way more flexible – Podio allows more use cases and is extremely responsive on customers demand.
Chose Podio
It is cheaper, faster and more flexible than anything else out there.
Chose Podio
Unlike Trello, Podio allowed us to establish a structure for the data, to be used by all team members, and establishing a clear workflow. (Podio can mimic the Trello “card” look, and integrates with it).
Basecamp seemed too rigid, or complex to modify. It's a solid tool, but not …
Chose Podio
Podio isn't built for the enterprise market and is more flexible to adjust to the needs of our customers. The time to market is short, the app-builder is very easy to use and it can be used for multiple disciplines within a company or cross-company. Last but not least, it is a …

Some people seemed to be confused by too many options. Customizing your work in a digital workspace needs means rethinking your possibilities by knowing your toolset well. In the beginning, I was a little bit frustrated, because I didn't see all these options and there was a lack of best practise. Studying the large Podio App Store solutions helped me to understand. If you do not have the time it's the best moment for getting in contact with one of the Podio partners.

Pros
No answers on this topic
  • Podio's apps are the most customizable tools I have seen anywhere, and I have tested and evaluated a large number of work management solutions. The abstract nature of their apps makes them ideal for very specific, niche cases as well as common, general purpose uses. The solution is elegant: an app is simply a collection of app items, with characteristics and perhaps links to other apps & their app items, all of which can be defined by your needs. Anyone who enjoys making "lists" of "things" should love this.
  • Custom reporting is a dream in Podio. I can take any characteristics or fields in any of my app items, compare or filter them with other apps' items, run calculations on them and figure totals by month, team member or almost anything else you can imagine. The possibilities really seem limited only by your imagination.
  • Podio has a lot of features, but another strength to factor in is third-party support. There are a lot of outside companies that offer additional features like detailed workflows, synchronizations between other cloud-based apps, and possibly even graphs in the near future.

  • Not sure if this has been implemented but having drop-down menus that change depending on your previous selection - AND/OR functionality would be great.
  • Some ability to reskin Podio.
  • Archiving of old projects / content of apps without manually moving contents.

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

Usability

It takes a while to understand how to wield the power of 'relationship' fields and unlocking the flow of data across Podio apps and workspaces. Once the lightbulb comes on, the options and builds are effortless and limitless. Because of the unrestrained customization, you truly start with a blank slate and must endure a potentially frustrating learning curve to crack to (no)code. But once you get it, all the power is readily at your fingertips.

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.

  • Podio has made our internal communications more fluid and timely.
  • It's much easier to search and find things (previous developments, notes, updates) in Podio than in the traditional combination of email, document storage, etc.
  • The Podio platform fosters a clearer understanding of all the work, projects and updates we are juggling at any one time.
