Overall Satisfaction with Podio

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Given the power, unrestricted flexibility and user-friendly UI, I use Podio as the basis/hub for nearly every aspect of my business. With the inclusion of Workflow Automations (formerly Globiflow), it is very easy to automatically move and apply data across multiple workspaces. The allows me to use Podio for training, operations, product development, crm, sales, reporting and much, much more.

Pros and Cons

Pros

On-the-fly, no-code, customization.
Easy, intra-app automations.
No cost 'guest' access to items.
Granular permission structure to features and data

Cons

Internal integrations with leading third party apps
Accelerated feature development
Enhanced tutorials and support.

Return on Investment

Accelerates 'time-to market/solution' for everything.
Nearly eliminates dependency on developers for internal systems.
Single source collaboration tool

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.
