What do you like best about Podio?

- The amount of customization Podio allows is unmatched.

- We were using it for all development activities, from tracking backlog to using it as a brainstorming board for different meetings, to using its kanban board to see processes on various initiatives. It was being used for all our daily activities.

- We can create custom apps using their simple drag-and-drop UI.

- Include complex calculations and relations between different apps.

- Organize the whole ecosystem around these apps and workspaces. This can be achieved by using Podio automation or advanced workflow automation.

- Its price is very competitive.

- Customer support is very helpful and available 24/7. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Podio?

- It can take some time to learn and understand its implementation.

- Basic Podio is simple enough, but if you want to use it for automation between different apps with relationships, it can become a bit complex to configure and understand.

- The product is missing new features. Compared to how its competitors are growing, Podio is not investing the same in innovation or research and development.

- It can support more integration with external systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is an all-in-one product. We save a lot of time by sticking to a product and not using different services for email, chat, collaboration, work, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Podio?

It takes a lot of work to design the right setup. There are a lot of technical limitations, when it comes to structuring your apps. For example, you need to duplicate a lot of your data across multiple apps if you want to use proper filters. You need to break a lot of data normalization design principles, which casues a lot of maintanince and slows down the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Podio?

It's good for working with databases and relations among them. We used to have our complete ERP built in Podio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Podio?

- Podio used to be a good alternative when workspaces were customizable and external users could interact with the platform easily. However, this changed unilaterally and without notice, rendering most applications useless.

- Compared to platforms like Notion, Podio's system and infrastructure are perceived as outdated and difficult to configure.

- The customer service is poor, with delayed responses and a lack of empathy towards the customers.

- It is more expensive than more powerful and customizable platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?

You can create different databases and workspaces for different teams, making it a flexible platform for use in project management or administrative processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Podio?

It offers me affordable subscription plans compared to other platforms and provides me with a free trial for a better experience before purchasing. It’s a cloud-based platform, so I can access it from any browser, and has mobile apps for both iOS and Android. I can easily manage my project With various task management capabilities. Additionally, I really like the feature where I can integrate it with any third parties for smoother workflow. I like the user interface it is clean and easy to use for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Podio?

I can get a variety of tools and features, but it lacks basic functions like a time tracker. I find it slow sometimes. I think app performance needs improvement, especially for graphic-intensive work. Additionally, I find the interface simple and boring. For me finding things on mobile is very difficult. It should also allow for easier copying and pasting. I can’t export/import files or documents in different formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?

I think it is a great management platform that provides a lot of tools and features for managing tasks and other work done by my members. For the users who are searching platforms for managing tasks in real-time, I highly recommend this platform. I am glad that I use this platform to manage my company’s work. I was able to schedule my work and also send and attach files to the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
