Podio Information Reviews & Insights

Citrix Podio is one of the best project management software that is available in the market to possibly solve all the problems related to the management of projects. It is helping me a lot and probably the best software that I come across in reaching the accomplishment of my project. I have been using this software for a very long time in my organization and it is helping me a lot in automatically building up the tasks and then assigned it to the other team members to keep everyone’s input on the task very easily.

It is the perfect solution available in the market to easily manage a large amount of project information easily. Also helps in managing the project easily. A real-time notification system, clear UI, and clean dashboard make it even more reliable to use. I would recommend this software to other organization to give a chance to this software and save their time and be productive in the organization.

Citrix [Podio] has an appealing interface, where everything is well organized, and by a sudden glance, I can tell about which of my team member has put how much effort into the project completion. Further, it provides me information about the about of time sent on each project, thus I can calculate the working hours and could evaluate the progress of each individual. I can say surely say that this project management tool is playing an important role in our company and dragging us toward success.

[Citrix Podios's] customer support is very quick and they provide you an option to convert your project into small tasks so that you can better assist your team and extract maximum work out of them hence I will totally recommend its usage. I could not think that keeping track of tasks could be this much easier and smart. It is a fully customizable tool that manages my tasks efficiently and deal with them effectively.

We use Podio in primarily a testing manner. Many of our clients use Podio and we integrate our primary product with Podio. We use the software daily as well to be aware of features and workflows that our clients experience. Podio tends to work well in a ticketing manner and even adding contacts.

Podio is well suited to use in ticket style environments that also utilize workflows or life cycles. I feel the reporting area needs great improvement but this system works well for task management and contact management. Multiple Workspaces do help to create team specific areas for working categorized items. Private workspaces are also a nice feature.

Helps us see who is doing what on a project. We enter what we're doing in the description field and it really helps us to see how far along we are on a project.

Podio is well suited for media production. We can add our own fields and apps to the website, which really helps our department, because we do specific things in the media production field that other people may not do, such as filming location, and Service Level Agreement file attachment option.

I use Podio for communicating both with clients and with contractors I work with on any given project. Over time I've also used it to track personal tasks as well because it is very well organized. The problem Podio solves for me is 1) clearly communicating with clients (making sure they are aware of deadlines, etc. and 2) it creates a living, transparent repository for all things related to the project that can even be referred to after the project is completed. I upload all files (design comps, keyword research, have discussions about tricky issues we've worked out on a project) to Podio and the best part is I have had multiple clients (even non technical ones) say they really like using it because it is so simple. It also is customizable in that you can build your own apps for it so I've developed a core of apps that I use on every project which saves me time and keeps project management uniform across all projects.

I think Podio is ideally suited to website design and development work. I looked at Basecamp as well but that was too rigid for me. I needed the ability for my project management tool to be more robust and Podio fit the bill. I've been very pleased with it.

Podio is still under evaluation at Apartments247.com, but we are using it to track Leads, Deals, Sales and Cancellations for the Sales & Marketing Department. The initial hope was that it could also work for Development and Production, bringing 3 departments under a single, streamlined system. That remains to be proved one way or the other, however.

Podio is great for niche businesses needing highly customizable apps. It is also suitable for smaller businesses where one person may wear many hats and operate in multiple departments simultaneously. Do you have a high-volume production dept. with a massive number of projects per month and a dozen or more tasks per project? If so, Podio is probably not a good fit for you. Good reporting alone does not make up for inefficiency and missed deadlines. If you demand high-quality customer support for your team, don't even think about Podio. Your people don't need to be insulted by the person whose job is supposed to be helping them.
