Overall Satisfaction with Crowdbase

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We tried using Crowdbase as internal collaboration in our organisation however we found that while it wasn't inherently bad, an all in one solution suited us best. We found Podio and it was better for us at collaboration (like a internal Facebook) and we could also use it for project management and CRM.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Collaboration
Interaction with staff
Great way to engage staff and support each other

Cons

It is very limited
Although it has an API it doesn't link to the services we use.
It isn't customisable like Podio.

Return on Investment

Encourages communication
Easy to use
Before crowdbase we never though of collaborating this way

Alternatives Considered

Podio

Crowdbase's strength may lie in its ability to do just one main thing well, but for us this was a massive limitation. I know that it is not trying to be Podio and it is therefore unfair to compare the two but there are features that overlap. for us Podio was better suited.

Other Software Used

Podio, GlobiFlow for Podio, Asana, Basecamp

Likelihood to Recommend

I wouldn't suggest Crowdbasefor smaller companies, even for bigger companies a more integrated solution would be desirable. It may suit companies that want their collaboration separate from project management and CRM, but at least for our organisation it seems to make more sense to have most of our work tools in one place
