Citrix Podio is a project management and social collaboration tool. It allows businesses to create custom applications to best meet unique business requirements and preferred workflow—without the need for technical skills or development resources.

The Podio App Market grants users access to hundreds of free apps, pre-built by Podio users to satisfy a range of industry-specific requirements and project management functions, such as task management, project portfolio management and issue management. There are also apps for functions such as customer relationship management (CRM) and applicant tracking.

Across all apps, Podio offers a range of social collaboration features, including Facebook-esque “likes” and file-sharing anywhere within the system, as well as internal instant messaging and video chat.

    Pros

    Podio is great. It was a learning experience for me. The more I used it the friendlier it became. I like that it is customizable, it has moblie access, and I use it to communicate with my real etate team. I think the pricing is not too extreme and it is fair according to usage. I think it is fast and reliable. I am glad that when something needs to be corrected it is an easy fix.

    Cons

    It does not have a time tracking tool and there are no PDF or image markup tools. I feel it can be improved in these areas to make it more of a value for the money spent.

    Pros

    Podio is ideal for small to medium sized businesses. It's highly flexible, letting you adjust the CRM to suit your business and language. It's really easy to use, so internal adoption is easy and you can use it for managing so much more than just CRM. It's easy to create new apps and templates and you can modify these on the fly.

    Cons

    Any advanced features require extensions and/or the premium version to have access to GlobiFlow (which is awesome, but the costs add up for small businesses).
    Support can be a little slow at times.

    Pros

    The cloud-based application lets the organizations to communicate within the company or with another company for their requirements. It has helped us to collaboratively work using a single platform by sharing data such as business processes and project management reports, and through real time communication. Delegating and tracking the tasks has never been so easy! Using this software has improved our productivity and time management. We could build and maintain good relationships with the customer. The best thing about this software is that, it had given us the ability to control who can access the workspace environment, thus adding to the security feature. Since the files can be shared in one common place, multiple email threads and redundancy could be avoided.

    Cons

    This utility does not provide phone support, which is a huge drawback. The users are expected to always work from their desktop computer environment. The developers of this application are not always ready to change the application features of the tool. The option of printing out the shared pdf, directly, is not present in the current version of the application. The user interface of this application also needs to be updated, as some find it cumbersome to use. If you are checking out for some automation in workflows, you would be disappointed as there are none!

    Pros

    There is a wide range of templates present, in addition to a vibrant collection of customization. It regularly keeps an overview of the clients and the projects. It creates a suitable area of work with possibilities of collaborations. One could easily designate tasks to others, largely reducing the workload. The software is particularly applicable to the small business group. The free trial period could be enough for a thorough study of the software.

    Cons

    It can be time-consuming as there are a lot of features available. For every advanced feature added, the expense also increases. Also, there is no detailed description of the customization available.

    A significant drop in internal mail-communication. Liquidation of all kinds of extra software tools. All is now in one powerfull search available in a few clicks.

    Pros

    You can let your end-users build their own workflows, apps, ... The core is an online database you create all tables yourself and it bings together the structured and unstructured info in one view.

    Cons

    Some functionality is kept to a minimum and so some simple options are missing but the core model is strong and that is the most important. Some personalisations on the presentation would be useful.

    I love how customizable Podio is. It is very flexible and it allows us to build it to fit our needs.

    Cons

    As customizable as Podio is, the webforms need more functionality. It would be great if they could have conditional logic and more form types. Also, apps are not easy to build. The ability to duplicate fields when building would go a long way.

    Pros

    The great strength with Podio is that you can customize it very much to fit your needs. For example, we have to-do lists for various developers, and when they move a deliverable to another phase it appears on another user's to-list etc. Lists can also pull information from across workspaces and projects.

    Another thing is that their app is quite comprehensive and have most of the features Podio's web-app also has.

    Cons

    Look and feel/UX/UI is dated, when compared to other web apps produced by companies of the size of Citrix.

    Pros

    Incredible flexibility is one of the unique features of this app. You can design the way how your contents, reports and overviews looks like. It is not bound by rigid software. Podio puts all your projects at a single place, so that any person working in the team can access the projects from anywhere and can stay up to date. It will help you and your team to stay updated with the statuses of your current projects as well as upcoming projects. With it on your side, you never have to waste your time checking everything is right on track.

    Cons

    There is no lackluster permission structure. It doesn’t have an overall group admin for the total organisation. Our feed gets spammed with activity from every workspace, making it useless for a certain extent.

    Pros

    It was suggested to me by a friend, but I hated just about everything about it - it was frustratingly complicated and overly difficult to use.

    Cons

    After purchasing a subscription, I found the software to be overly complicated, so I cancelled my account. However I continued to be billed for the next 2 months. I began contacting them about those charges, asking for a refund. While communicating with their "support", they stated they do not provide refunds, and refused to do anything. So I filed a dispute with my credit card company for the 2 charges. The CC company found in my favor and refunded both charges back to me. As soon as that happened, it must have marked the invoices as "unpaid" in Podio's system, and they began sending them to me again on a daily basis asking for payment. I resumed communication with them, asking for them to close out my account, close out the pending invoice and stop sending me emails. They responded to every ticket stating that they don't process refunds. I wasn't asking for a refund, I had already been refunded by my CC company. I was asking them to stop emailing me about the invoice that had already been decided in my favor. Finally I get an email stating my account was closed and I wouldn't get anymore emails. 5 days later, the emailed invoices resumed - this time being sent to not one, but TWO of my email addresses. The lengths they will go to, to harass a customer over a bill is asinine. It has been four months and the issue is still not resolved, and I continue to receive daily emails about my "outstanding" invoice.

    Pros

    Podio has been a huge help for the project management purposes as the platform offers highly customizable and flexible settings to adapt even the internal user interface to the requirements/characteristics of the project. What's more, the functionality and the adaption to the external apps as well as the useful add-ons give the platform more functionality that saves a lot of time and effort searching for those in another system.
    For the smaller organizations, you can start with free plan/trial, however, if you want to take it seriously and benefit fully, I'd advise going for the paid versions.

    Cons

    There are few cons of the system. Sometimes it seems to be lagging and it's hard to determine whether it's due to the load it puts on the browser and the computer lags or the system as well as it's cloud-based.
    What's more, for the new users, due to extended functionalities after some time of customization, it's hard to be easily acquired.

    Real time tracking of sales and easy to calculate commissions

    Pros

    You can customize pretty much any field imaginable to build anything you want and need. It doesn't require you to fit everything into their box or what they say you need. Integrated with Zapier it is very powerful.

    Cons

    You can't search by email address (there are errors with any email that has more than 1 period which is almost a deal breaker. Reports can't be accessed in the app which is one of my primary uses. I have a workaround scripted in my phone, but I feel like you shouldn't have to be an expert to find what your sales are.

    The ability to customize Podio to look and act exactly how you need it to is by far the best benefit. We've been able to create "apps" inside Podio for tracking everything we need from support tickets, billing, inventory, projects, receipts, to name a few, and even one to inform clients of project status automatically.

    Cons

    The mobile app experience for Podio is lacking with limited control of views within different apps and slow response time when updating at times.
