    Chose Basecamp
    Firstly, in my view the main difference among these project management softwares is designing. Basecamp has excellent design, it is very cost effective, trustworthy and the quickest way to work with your projects and events. If you are a beginner, almost 4-5 minutes is enough …

    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
    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
    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
    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
    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
    We looked at Basecamp, Cage, Trello, LayerVault, TeamBox, TeamworkPM, Strikebase, and 10000ft, all of which are great at something, but Podio was the most flexible for our needs.
    Chose Podio
    Compared to Salesforce: Podio is not as robust as a tool for CRM tracking. It also doesn't have the in-email capabilities that SF offers.
    Compared to Basecamp: Podio is somewhat similar to Basecamp but doesn't offer the same functionality with checking items off and archiving …
