What is Podio?
Podio is a cloud-based collaboration service that was founded in 2009 and acquired by Citrix in 2012. Podio supplies a web-based platform for organizing team communication, business processes, data and content in project management workspaces; also it may be used as a social intranet or as a light CRM platform. Its reporting features allow a user to observe sales pipelines and manage budgets and time. Its task management interface is meant to be lively and dynamic as a social networking site's to facilitate sharing and task delegations, and supports document uploading. Workflows can be improved via automation of various triggered tasks. It integrates email and many familiar programs and applications (e.g. Dropbox, Gmail and Google Apps, Gotomeeting, Excel) to expand functionality, and it is mobile accessible.
Podio began as a free service and a free option still remains, though three tiers of paid plans (Basic, Plus, and Premium) are now offered which expand support options from implementation only to a priority lifetime user able to gain support at any time (Premium), and limited access to shared projects for subordinate team members. However core features are supported across the tiers.

- Initially it was an incredible boost to productivity.
- Over the past 4 years we have known that the lack of development and support would force us to leave and get a more robust platform that has a roadmap.
- Helps streamline notes and communication amongst the team.
- Keeps track of everything in one place.
- Can access on the go via mobile.
- Its mobile app is providing easy and user-friendly services with advanced features. The mobile app has all the basic tools needed for project handling and management.
- It is highly functional to manage tasks, get real-time updates on work and have a better workflow as all the functions are automated on the platform.
- Its customer support needs improvement.

Workflow Program Review
- Countless hours/customer frustrations have been avoided, as nearly all we do is logged using Podio.
- Teams knowing where a project is at all times is a huge plus. Status tabs make it easy to see where a project is without having to spend too much time looking around.
- It organizes our projects and let us make our clients happy and satisfied.
- One of the most interesting and useful things is its tracking system that keeps on tracking every single task and notify me with all activities.

Join the Podio Rodeo!
- Considering we're able to use the free version for what we need it for the ROI is pretty awesome. If we had a larger group then we might have to analyze and compare it to other software options.

Improving efficiency with Podio
- Our interns can automatically update webform surveys and send the results back to the senior management on the spot. This eliminates the time that a meeting would take for the interns to discuss their site observations.

Great website

- 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.

- With Podio it is more inviting for sales reps to keep their lead/account info up to date. In all other systems we tried, it just didn't work out
- Podio can be used for all kind of departments, no need for an expensive clutter of tools.
- Currently we are connecting Act-On with Podio; Podio is the CRM for sales reps, Act-On the marketing automation platform. This connection is going to be awesome.

Podio – a surprise on the Cheshire Cat
- First, we asked ourselves: "Why should we pay by month, when we can buy and pay once for something individually programmed that meets our needs by 100%?"
- Well, Podio is very personal and you can customize many functions and workflows in more ways, as you'll find in the market of comparable solutions. A custom programmed solution will be outdated before implemented. The price will be much higher than having a monthly fee for our team members. By the way, you don't have to pay for external members, i.e. customers or partners. Lessons learned: Podio was – and still is – one of our lowest IT investments ever!
- Project planning and delivery is now faster than ever, the number of customer more than before. Customer satisfaction is top. Our overall earnings went up!

Podio means it when they say “Work The Way You Work”

- Very powerful, expandable tool at very low cost (Free up to 5 users, or $9/month/user with unlimited external guest users)
