Amazing platform for managing anything
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.
CONSReporting is quite limited and not very customizable. Also views could be more sophisticated and customizable.
Reason for choosing Podio
Podio is much more than a project management platform or CRM. It lets you build your own system as you want... is like a Lego

a good collaboration tool for begginners of companies that can spend a lot of time in it
it is quite good, the best for us was to share information about leads
PROSwe 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.
CONSthe 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
Reason for choosing Podio
because podio can edit the form and have the connection with sage for accounting.
Reasons for switching to Podio
because MNprogram still do not have the form in english with the fields we need in our leads.

Very flexible software, but increasingly unreliable
Overall, pretty good for a budget CRM. But it feels like a platform with its better days behind it.
PROSPodio 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.
CONSCitrix 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.

Customization is the key
You can build a whole information system to support all your organization's areas in the same platform. Obviously, in a service with so many possibilities, everything can be as good as an average solution. If you need a specialized CRM, there's a more expensive alternative and the same is true for email marketing, database manager, webform embeds, etc. The upside of Podio is having it all in the same place, which makes it really convenient.
PROSPodio is like a canvas that comes blank and can be as deep as your imagination goes. It's extremely customizable and that makes it more than viable to any organization. It's a platform that can go in any direction you need, you just have to learn javascript to get it's full potential.
CONSPlatform outages are more common than i'd like. Every month there are at least 2 or 3 incidents that make reliability the goal Citrix should be after.
Reason for choosing Podio
Price. The licensing model used by Podio works better for us.
