Overall Satisfaction with Podio

Podio is a great repository for just about everything I need to track. I keep all my account information there (for home and business) to make it easy for someone else to know what I track in case I am not available. Because it is so verstile in what I can store, I use it for a variety of other purposes. I have a section just for vacations (because that's IMPORTANT!) I store notes, ideas, and reservation details for hotels, airlines, attractions and more. Also, I have a workspace to help me manage gift certicates for restaurants and season tickets for the theatre. I also started using it as a journal. Have not done much there but I see the potential as I can upload photos, create tasks and long-term goals. Each workspace is customizable on what fields I need so I think the uses are boundless. I don't use it for business as much as I used to but found it so useful I have kept my account active.

Pros

  • Customizable workspaces for a variety of applications. I can create different fields for each application type.
  • I can create associations between apps. For example, for a vacation I can link to all reservations for that trip (hotel, flight, etc.)
  • I love that I can upload photos as visual cues are great.

Cons

  • Honestly, I've been pretty happy with it. Been using for 8 years.
  • I have not tried the app much but that is on me.
  • Some sort of encryption feature for sensitive data would be cool!
  • Great ROI - Used for both personal and business
  • One stop record keeping for a variety of applications and categories
  • Time saver for me and for anyone who needs to pick up the ball
It doesn't have EVERYTHING you might need (but hard to find a product at a reasonable price) that does. I think the "bang for the buck" is definitely there. Even though I don't use it for business as much, I have kept it for personal use because it is so versatile in its application.
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 paid for individual platforms to do the job...

Do you think Podio delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Podio's feature set?

Yes

Did Podio live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Podio go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Podio again?

Yes

The annual cost is under $50 so well worth the organization services it provides. I use it to manage all my on-going data (household accounts, links to manage) as well as tracking other more transient info (upcoming vacations, reservations, gift certicates). It is so versatile in its applications, I cannot manage life without it (as easily!)
