	Podio
Considered Both Products	Progress ShareFile Verified User Chose Podio These options weren't available when we picked Podio. Podio cannot compete with these options because Podio chooses not to actively develop, communicate with their customers or build system stability. Any serious customer should consider these as showstoppers when looking at … Incentivized Helpful? Bella Castilla Senior Account Executive in Finance and Accounting at Twilio Inc. (Internet, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Podio [Citrix] Podio has smart features for project management. There are many functions that are missing in Clarizen One, so [Citrix] Podio keeps better functionalities than it. It is a reliable and straightforward tool with a smart interface. Incentivized Helpful? Gill Riskoff Finance Director in Finance and Accounting at Spotify (Music, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Podio As everyone knows Asana is a well-known project management solution but because of its ranking Asana and its functionalities are coming down and coming up with some complaints. So, I decided to choose Citrix Podio because it works well and provides effective services. Incentivized Helpful? Olivia Sheppard Attorney in Legal at Olivia Sheppard Attorney at Law, PLLC (Law Practice, 1-10 employees) Chose Podio I made the switch from Clio to Podio plus another platform as my CRM and am much happier. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Podio I only listed Slack because it is similar in that you can coordinate with external and internal teams. You can share files and chat with other individuals. Slack is severely lacking compared to Podio though. Podio has the capabilities to track tasks, finances, projects, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Podio Hubspot. SalesForce. Dynamic CRM. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Podio Podio is a custom solution, where Mavenlink was a less robust, less feature-rich solution. We simply outgrew Mavenlink and don't have any regrets. Mavenlink did its job during the time we used it. In order for us to successfully grow with our business, we needed a custom-built … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Podio We actually use Airtable for some (different) databases, but have found the flexibility of Podio and integration with Globiflow to be superior for many of our needs. Incentivized Helpful? Kris Lambert Integration Specialist in Information Technology at AnswerForce (Telecommunications, 501-1000 employees) Chose Podio Podio is decent for task management. We selected Podio to learn about the product and how to work with the product going forward. It feels like more of a project management tool than a CRM. The limited reporting and contact management features leave much to be desired. There … Incentivized Helpful? Heather Neisen Director of Account Services in Customer Service at Enliven, LLC (Food & Beverages, 1-10 employees) Chose Podio We were trying to find a cost-effective solution (we're a small company) that would allow us to store all our client contacts and notes and help save our team time. Podio's globiflow feature does this really well. Other options we looked at didn't have these features or gave … Incentivized Helpful? Kim Westermann Annual Fund & Communications Manager at CASA (Community Alternatives for Supportive Abodes) (Non-Profit Organization Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Podio We really hadn't used other project management software before Podio. We relied heavily on Outlook and Excel for communication and organization. Podio allows for more visibility across employee task lists and projects and helps us collaborate better. Incentivized Helpful? Bohdan Cole Project Architect in Marketing at Incredible Marketing (Marketing and Advertising, 51-200 employees) Chose Podio None Incentivized Helpful? Verified User 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Podio We actually use both Podio and Salesforce. Podio is used for more internal communication and projects. I work for an event planning company and we use Salesforce for more external conversations and budgeting/invoices. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Podio We now use Slack which is similar in functionality. We still don't use it much. Helpful? Stephen Gaschignard Local Committee President in Corporate at InHub LLC (Non-Profit Organization Management, 1001-5000 employees) 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. Incentivized Helpful? Stephanie Simon Vice President of Operations in Corporate at Tender Rose Home Care (Hospital & Health Care, 51-200 employees) 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. Incentivized Helpful? Derek Allard President in Information Technology at Tunnel 7 (Internet, 1-10 employees) 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 … Helpful? Jan Florian Maas Geschäftsführender Gesellschafter in Information Technology at addWings GmbH (Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Podio Way more flexible – Podio allows more use cases and is extremely responsive on customers demand. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Podio It is cheaper, faster and more flexible than anything else out there. Incentivized Helpful? Nando Cabán-Méndez Partner, Strategist, Online Marketing Architect at Sync Digital Marketing (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 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 … Helpful? Harold Klaassen Managing Consultant in Marketing at Hakapero (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Podio Podio isn't built for the enterprise market and is more flexible to adjust to the needs of our customers. The time to market is short, the app-builder is very easy to use and it can be used for multiple disciplines within a company or cross-company. Last but not least, it is a … Helpful? Verified User 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.
