Recensioni su Podio

gestire i progettiin condivisione

Commenti: Complessivamente il software ha portato piu' efficienza nella progettazione, anche se secondo me ha tutte le potenzialità di migiorare ulteriormente

Aspetti positivi:

il vantaggio principale di questo software è la possibilità disalvare e condividere in tempo reale, oin ogni posto del mondo lo stato di avanzamento di un progetto e tutti i documenti ad esso collegatoAumentando di conseguenza l'efficiebnza del team su cui ci lavora

Aspetti negativi:

il salvataggio e la elaborazione dei documenti è un po complicata e macchinosa, cosi come la possibilità di scaricare i dati offline

Amazing platform for managing anything

Aspetti positivi:

Podio is a fully featured platform that allows you to manage any process. We use it as our ERP and we manage all our company processes there. We are a corporate training organization and we sell workshops. In podio we create and keep track from the beginning of the process, the delivery of the courses and the follow up. We have developed with time a quite complex and at the same time simple custom platform for our needs.

Aspetti negativi:

Reporting is quite limited and not very customizable. Also views could be more sophisticated and customizable.

Serves it's purpose

Commenti: The big boss also loves this program, because it can generate many different reports for him, from bid activity, pending logs, securement logs, win percentages with different customers or geographic areas. allows him to see many different metrics with just a few clicks.

Aspetti positivi:

The website is incredibly customizable, which allows you make this program perform many tasks that vary greatly. Our main purpose was to use this as a bid center for our company, allowing all of our branches to see who was bidding which jobs. After setting that up, we were able to have podio send out reminders after certain amounts of time to follow up on the bid results. If we were awarded the job, it will then send out notices to our purchasing department, project managers, and super intendents with the relevant information (start end dates, contract prices, labor hours estimated, location, contact info, etc). It is very helpful to make sure our branches do not double up estimating the same projects.

Aspetti negativi:

Being very customizable also means it can be quite tedious to set up initially. There are, however, many premade modules you can either use as is, or customize to fit you needs.

PODIO is it for you?!

Commenti: VG, it's been my bread and butter

Aspetti positivi:

Integration easy.. open source, use zapier from time to time too

Aspetti negativi:

No Referrals / partner program Being provided for loyal users / programmers like me

Very flexible software, but increasingly unreliable

Commenti: Overall, pretty good for a budget CRM. But it feels like a platform with its better days behind it.

Aspetti positivi:

Podio is designed for project managers, but we used it as our CRM - which shows how flexible it is. It worked well, the UI is nice, the workflows save you a lot of time and you can link up items well for automation (e.g. if you close a deal, mark the associated company item as 'customer'). The reporting worked quite well too. You can pull data into reports and create nice dashboards. And you can export to Excel.

Aspetti negativi:

Citrix aren't investing in Podio - it looks the same as when we started using it years ago. It's also increasingly unreliable - there have been numerous all-day outages in 2018. This is frustrating when you depend on Podio to run your business. We have since moved onto a different CRM software because of these issues.

An In-Depth Review of the Cloud-Based Project Management and Collaboration Tool

Nonetheless, its restricted detailing capacities, high expectation to absorb information, restricted mixes, and client assistance issues might be disadvantages for certain clients.

a good collaboration tool for begginners of companies that can spend a lot of time in it

Commenti: it is quite good, the best for us was to share information about leads

Aspetti positivi:

we can have in one place all the leads we have and all the workers can upload information about that lead, so we check there all we have from them.

Aspetti negativi:

the support it is not very good, the price it is quite high and at the end we were moving to MNprogram but we still could not do the change

Podi - O?

Commenti: We used it for 1-2 years for marketing projects and an internal goal alignment project.

Aspetti positivi:

I used it for 1-2 years but really never got to a point where I liked the software. It did allow for team communications and project tracking, but I do not believe we used it appropriately.

Aspetti negativi:

Podio seems to be a very specific style of project/task management software. We tried using it for implementation projects, so there was a lot of customizations that had to occur before it was usable. I did not feel like it was overly intuitive to use and had to do several follow up trainings.

Podio is the best CRM

Commenti: Overall Podio is so much better than every other CRM we have used. I've recommended it to everyone in my industry.

Aspetti positivi:

I love how we can customize everything and how many integrations are supported.

Aspetti negativi:

Not a fan of the UI. Looks outdated and can be confusing for new users.

The best CRM and working software

Aspetti positivi:

It is amazing how it can integrate with so many things, send emails, sms, signatures. The files can be organized with just a click. It is also suitable for any type of business sin it can be customize. At a good price

Aspetti negativi:

Extremely difficult to set up. Requires additional help to do it

powerful solution with no code & extremely customizable

Aspetti positivi:

There are many apps like this. But this is unbeatable since many years. mobile app version is excellent. Podio is ease to use with fully customizable. Podio makes easy to planning with detail way.

Aspetti negativi:

Everything is good. I and my team is fully satisfied with this solution. Sometimes We fetch some issue in file sharing.

Project management with all the bells and whistles.

Commenti: Podio is powerful, indeed. I ranked it a bit lower than most as my focus has always been around small businesses. And Podio might simply be too much for that sector. But it does offer an impressive array of features that perhaps small businesses with lots of development background need. It seems to wrap too many features into one product and many organizations simply do not work this way. But the concept of keeping all this functionality in one single place does make it appealing. Yet, there is much to be desired for regarding features in each category. Project Management, for example. It has features that are very common among competitors, but lacks features like milestones, issue tracking, defects, testing, epic and story hierarchies, etc. It simply does not provide the power one would expect from a solid project management functionality. Instead of ramping up these features, others are added, such as a CRM and financial features, etc. I would not entirely dismiss Podio, as it might be exactly what your organization's structure needs. Perhaps a quick test drive would do. I found it cumbersome for my small business, especially since I was already managing my clients using another CRM and my financials were being managed by another online application... keeping them all isolated and visible only to the required personnel.

Aspetti positivi:

Podio is feature rich and more aligned with larger companies with design and development teams. It offers a wide range of views to fit any and all your needs. Create and manage workspaces with ease. Podio is much more than just a project management tool. It offers the ability to track leads and clients with default or customizeable templates to display their details. Manage projects, portfolios and much more. With a focus on the creative (design) and development, Podio offers much more than one can ask for. It even offers an impressive library of APIs for customization and integrations. Track tasks with incredible details including time. Podio even gives you a place to track expenses. If your organization is looking for a product that keeps everything in one place, Podio might provide this for you.

Aspetti negativi:

Despite the rave reviews on the Pros, I believe that Podio is just too much for the average project management role. It feels as though it is trying to combine the features of a CRM, Financial System and Project Management product all in one place. Most organizations are simply not structured in a way that all these features should reside in one system. Perhaps it will work for some, which is why Podio does have a strong hold in the industry.

Good process flow tool

Commenti: We are getting deals and making money, and we are relying on Podio as our current database. I do believe there is a better system developed for real estate investors that would work better for us and support our follow up process more efficiently and effectively, but for a generic database or project management sytem, Podio is very functional.

Aspetti positivi:

I like the customizability and usefulness of this platform. The app-based system allows anyone to use in different ways depending on the different process flows. I like the task functionality and integration with other apps. We use another party to add backend automation which has been helpful for tagging and tracking leads.

Aspetti negativi:

The system goes down fairly often and prevents leads from flowing successfully into our database. I'm not sure if this is due to glitches in our automations or a site-wide problem. The apps may pull data from other apps, but the information is separate. As a real estate investor, I see this as a con because if a lead information is transferred from one status to another (into another app), the information is created again rather than updated in a separate location. If a change is made in one app, it isn't reflected in the other. There may be workflows that could help with this for the field data, but not for notes left of the activity.

Great Resource for Businesses

Commenti: Podio is our main project management source and we love it! It allows us to assign project managers to projects, tag team members that need the information, others to add information they have gathered, copy emails directly to Podio, assign tasks, and so much more. I would highly recommend Podio for any type of business and think it is a great tool that is easy to use.

Aspetti positivi:

What I like most about Podio is the organization of project management. It helps to keep track of current information, copying emails directly to Podio, tagging team members, and organizing the project with information that is useful in my business. It has been such a great management tool for our small business and relaying information that is easily searchable when the project information is needed quickly!

Aspetti negativi:

What I like least about this software is that is can get confusing in the beginning and overwhelming of features. It does take some time to understand the functions of Podio and all that it can do. Once learned it is user friendly, but it is hard to get started!

Great tool for contract management and project management

Aspetti positivi:

We were able to extend the use far outside what we purchased it for, utilizing it for contract management and delivery, then project management for our entire marketing team

Aspetti negativi:

The modular functionality does keep things organized, but it does make you take a few extra steps to launch projects and contracts. It's not especially user friendly for project management, but once you're trained, it works great.

Transformative Software

Commenti: Podio has enabled me to completely change the way several companies share specific tasks. What's exciting? Two things. First - get rid of those awful little spreadsheets and put the data where the team can all access it concurrently. Second - wrap around it a neat package of task management, status updates, messaging, voting, and chat. And more. Voila. We have an internet for collaboration that converts office comma from the old "Outlook model" to the new, more open, "Facebook model".
The way in which users (permitted users) can edit the system while it is in use - could not be easier. I have been astonished to see non-IT professionals take up serious development and love it.
There's much more to say. Let's just say there is hidden depth. It looks so simple and it is, but one is always finding new gems that offer flexibility- such as webforms, or embedded JavaScript options! I think I could build a career in the Podio platform.

Aspetti positivi:

Flexibility. Ease of use.

Aspetti negativi:

Check the pricing model, but even that has been great for my clients who are registered charities.

Podio is perfect

Commenti: Podio saves time, makes reporting a breeze and basically helps me run my entire department.

Aspetti positivi:

I am not a developer or tech boffin. And you do not have to be when you are using Podio. It is so simple yet powerful that I don't understand why every company out there aren't using it. I use it for numerous functions in my business: workflow, registration, contacts, fun, events, etc. I like how easy it is to learn and use. I really like how fast I can build, update and change my own workspaces and apps. I use the web-form functionality all the time and it looks very professional.

Aspetti negativi:

Is it a Podio or a user problem...? but it often happens that I will add a person a workspace and then they can't access it? And I haven't found the answer in the online help function.

Blank Slate for Project Collaboration

Commenti: Podio is awesome. For some reason it reminds me of the Campaign Builder within Infusionsoft but for process development instead of automated marketing. Podio is powerful once you figure it out.

Aspetti positivi:

Podio is flexible. Any Process flow you can map, can be created in Podio. I have used Podio in multiple industries. Marketing, Human Resources, Accounting, just to name a few.

Aspetti negativi:

Podio has an outdated visual interface. Overall the application isn't as intuitive as other Project Collaboration tools that I have used.

Overall - Decent CRM software, definitely needs some more competitive enhancements to stay uptodate

Commenti: Overall- this is the main CRM software my company uses. It was sink or swim for me. I did a lot of research while home (after work). It should be easily adapted to new employees , in my opinion. Even now, 2 years later, I still struggle at times , figuring out the available functions, etc.

Aspetti positivi:

I like the ability to upload as many docs as needed for the project/customer. All departments (in my workplace) can view what is going on with the project. It keeps the project organized and allows as many details as needed.

Aspetti negativi:

Podio to me, isn't user friendly. It took quite some time to learn the quirks and how to maneuver through the different pages for the project. Definitely could use some enhancements.

Completely customizable way to store and share info across multiple office locations.

Aspetti positivi:

Our company was able to build our database from the ground up, which was very helpful for our specialized company who didn't fit a pre-determined mold when it came to the storing and sharing of info. The tasks section is extremely helpful to remind you or any member of your team about any items to complete both within Podio and externally. I loved the ease of the chat and group chat features, and the ability to send gifs in chat brought some fun and lightness to my day!

Aspetti negativi:

Learning curve can be long, especially depending on how your administrator has chosen to set up Podio before you begin using it. Different people seem to gravitate towards different ways of organizing information, so this needs to be taken into account for complex records and your employees' different learning styles.

Customer Support and Billing Horrible!

Commenti: Podio customer service and billing is horrible! I am so angry that I upgraded to the $24 per month plan and was charged $244.56! The invoice and payment receipt came in at the same time without giving any notice that the $24 plan that I signed up for was now up to over $200.
The customer chat said I could request a phone call to get the issue resolved, however, no one ever called. The email resolution department was NO help! All they could say was it would be corrected on the next billing cycle. I need it corrected Now! Had I wanted to spend that much per month I would have signed up for the 5 person $120 per month plan.
No phone support to assist customers and extremely disappointing customer service.

Aspetti positivi:

I like the program but not for $250 per month when I am the only person in my organization

Aspetti negativi:

NO PHONE SUPPORT! Although they tell you that you may request phone contact if you have a billing problem. There is No phone support.

One of our favourites

Commenti: It's highly flexible and easy to use, saves us time.

Aspetti positivi:

* Podio is such a flexible solution. It's the only system I'd ever come across that let you design your system around your business, instead of them forcing your business to fit their system. * Really easy to use * Can track/store multiple types of data so is flexible to be used in various areas of the business.

Aspetti negativi:

* Importing bulk changes isn't as easy as it could be * Advanced workflows require a higher package, so you're limited with the lower end packages in terms of automation, without using a third party service like Zapier.

Love it

Commenti: Great. Customer service is hit or miss though. Either they go above and beyond and answer super quick or they suck, don’t get back to you and tell you to do something that has nothing to do with your issue

Aspetti positivi:

Super easy to use and super easy to set up to work the way your company needs it to work. I also am in love with the project sharing abilities so that others can follow one or all projects free of charge!

Aspetti negativi:

The app sucks. The desktop version is better but the app still works when you’re out and about. It’s just not as organized

Online Business Community Sharing

Commenti: My experience with Podio has been very positive. If I have a question, I can pose it on Podio and typically someone has an answer because they've experienced the situation, or thought of a solution to my concern/problem. It's like a giant, interactive, messaging, bulletin-board where professionals share information.

Aspetti positivi:

Podio allows me to connect with colleagues in the same field across the country. We can share resources, ideas, post articles and forms, etc. I'm fairly new to my position, so this software has been a great tool in helping me connect with colleagues and educational and training materials, etc. I love that I can find a ton of resources and don't have to recreate the wheel.

Aspetti negativi:

What I like least about Podio is that I don't seem to have all of the individual's whom I've been in contact with contact information-I have to request their phone number. email, etc.

Keeps our Department Running Smoothly

Commenti: Podio is the glue that keeps our team together, managing and saving hundreds of projects.

Aspetti positivi:

I like the vast amount of features present in Podio. We use it to manage multiple teams that may be collaborating on jobs. Uploading files, collaborating, and tracking time are all things I do all the time.

Aspetti negativi:

The only issue I have is that arranging some of the view options is a little bit clunky. It's hard to fault Podio too much for that though, as they present you with a very large amount of customizability options.
