    Podium
    Podium is well suited if your business needs are mindless Google Business reviews, and not much else. It's NOT appropriate for clients in the real estate industry. It's NOT appropriate for anyone needing a reliable VoIP solution. It should NOT be marketed as a VoIP product, b/c I found it fails MISERABLY in this regard.

    My overall experience with Rankky was good if specific the terms which I liked the most is I don't need to switch to every platform to see the ratings and reviews I can manage that from one dashboard which Rannkly provides and makes my work so easy to monitor all the rating platforms in social media platforms. And one more thing the universal QR code it's very unique in terms of QR code where I can find all my ratings and social media platforms in a single QR code and it's easy to get reviews from my clients which is helping me a lot in getting reviews.

    Pros
    Podium
    • Maintains conversations indefinitely, so we are able to go back to confirm details from conversations.
    • Provides the ability for our company to have a 'team' messaging platform where we can communicate with one another via single person to a single person, groups where we can add/subtract members of the group... this is invaluable to our organization.
    • Until today(!), we could 'share' or forward a message to one another; oddly, that feature disappeared just today, so I'm hoping it's a glitch!

    Cons
    Podium
    • Account manager communications: I had been asking my Podium account manager for integration with our CRM tool for over 8 months before my account manager fell silent. After another 6 months, I proactively reached out only to find out that the integration had been in Beta for months and 8 other companies had already integrated. It was frustrating that my account manager did not remember a key request and make the Beta available to me the minute that it was open.

    • As of now nothing.
    • They can add more reviews platforms.
    • YouTube must be needed.

    Again, Podium has been so wonderful in the year and a half we have been using it, we are able to integrate it with our CRM and use alot of the available features. The most helpful has been getting TONS of reviews on MULTIPLE sites through Podium!

    Usability
    Podium
    While giving our clients the ability to leave a review was there, we had much worse results and got fewer reviews through the Podium portal than we did by sending our clients simple email requests, or simply having our service staff ask for a review while still on the clients' job sites.

    I have to send an email to get information. They have a chat system but I end up having to go through my rep for account questions. It was a little frustrating to not have a direct phone number to call with questions. I would like to see a helpline added.

    The best product to manage your online reputation in terms of getting or generating reviews plus social media. One more thing is a universal QR code which helps you to manage all the platforms and present you that in a single dashboard which saves time cost and effort.

    To be completely candid, I have not used another review software other than Podium. I've worked here for just over 2 years, and our company had just started using Podium. Podium has been useful and successful for our team; therefore, there has not been any reason for me to search for a new company. We are happy with Podium

    Return on Investment
    Podium
    • Use of Podium has increased the star rating on various review sites for all of our dealerships using the product.
    • Use of Podium has increased the volume of new monthly positive reviews on various review sites for all of our dealerships.
    • While we can't measure the impact that positive reviews have on car shoppers, we know that it influences them and we believe that it is a factor for some people in making the decision to visit the dealership. Some customers have come in and said they read our reviews and wanted to give us a shot. Others have even asked for a specific salesperson who's name has come up in positive reviews, without having ever met or spoken with that salesperson.
