    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 …

    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 …

    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.

    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 …

    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 …

    Podio was a cleaner, more simple registration & setup process.

    Project Manager in Manufacturing at I & E Construction (Construction, 51-200 employees)
    Chose Podio
    The direct Podio competitors we evaluated were Base CRM, Quickbase, and Insightly. Base CRM is a fantastic CRM product and I would love to use it. The problems is it stops at CRM. Base is really more for a sales environment than one that has a complex project lifecycle. …

    Chose Salesforce Sales Cloud
    Salesforce provides a wide variety of options that you can customize and tailor-fit to the process you want for your business to run. Also, we're using the comms tool Slack, which is now owned by Salesforce, which helps us monitor the business's movements even if we're not on a …
