If there is a certain layout or feature you want, Podio can likely do it. > > **Cons**: There is a learning curve to build out the apps within Podio, but once you get the hang of it, it gets easier > > Everyone we have worked with has been extremely helpful and quick to respond. We are planning to work with a Podio partner in the coming weeks, but so far, their customer service has been outstanding. ----- ### "he Most Versatile Business Management Tool on the Market\!" — 5.0/5 > **mark** | *15 August 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Podio has completely transformed the way I run my businesses. I manage multiple companies across different industries, and Podio handles it all with ease—CRM, project management, task tracking, document storage, team collaboration, you name it. The customization is unmatched; I can build workflows and apps tailored exactly to how I operate, not the other way around. I’ve used platforms like Salesforce and others in the past, but Podio runs circles around them in flexibility, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness. It’s powerful enough to handle complex processes, yet simple enough for my entire team to adopt quickly. The integrations, automation capabilities, and overall adaptability are endless. If you want one platform that can truly scale with your business, keep everything organized, and streamline communication, Podio is hands-down the best choice out there. > > **Cons**: For a while, they were stagnant on implementing new improvements and their customer support was a bit slow in the past responding to issues. Since new ownership has taken over, things are trending in the right direction on both of these. > > Amazing. Have dramatically helped out with multiple businesses we run through Podio. Whatever you can imagine, you can build in Podio ----- ### "Tried Podio for Six Months and Redesigned With a Desktop App" — 3.0/5 > **John** | *12 April 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Many nice features includes out-of-the-box such as maps and simple data validations. > > **Cons**: Poor options for backing up data. Third-party options seemed of questionable reliability and not automated. > > We tried using it for 6 months and abandoned it for a traditional desktop application. ----- ### "Love Podio\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ashley** | *28 January 2026* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Enables our team to communicate with each other and our clients seamlessly and easily. Allows us to keep documentation centralized and easy to locate. > > **Cons**: It's not extremely easy to locate tickets that you were working in once you close the tab. It takes a bit of effort and digging sometimes. > > Wonderful\! It has allowed our team to take accountability forntheir work and allowed management to easily see where everyone is on each ticket. ----- ### "Podio4Life" — 5.0/5 > **Dave** | *22 July 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: completely customizable, has back-end open API to zap data from other outside software systems (Sharefile, Quickbooks, RightSignature, Slack). Podio is the hub that connects my entire tech stack. > > **Cons**: not really natively integrated with formerly citrix's other softwares, specifically Sharefile and RightSignature. You have to build bridges and zap to get everything to talk to each other, which seems kind of insane that a software company would own all these assets that are synergistic but not really integrate them. The system needs more investment from the new owners of the business. There is no customize CRM solution out there like it for the price and I run my entire tax and accounting practice from it. Every now and then, it goes offline or runs slowly, but again, the system just needs maintenance and love from the new owners. > > overall, podio is an archaic software solution that solves so many various business system needs. It's an open information hub for my business to inform and propel projects forward. If the new owners continue to foster this software, it can be the real gem of this software suite. Also, you almost definitely need to hire an data system engineer to help design a solution. It's the only way to really maximize the capabilities of the software. ----- Page: 1 / 16\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/128631/podio?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/128631/podio) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
