    Easiest Way to Communicate

    Date: Aug 04 2022
    Summary

    Overall, if you are wanting a way for your clients, users, or visitors to contact you easily other than just a phone call, Podium is a great product to use.

    Positive

    The best part of this software is that you can handle all of it from your phone as if you were just texting someone. If someone hops on your website and has any questions or concerns a notification comes up on the bottom corner of the page providing a way for the visitor to contact the company. These messages do go straight to the phone of the the individual over the website, which makes the communication personable and quick.

    Negative

    At this time during the free trial that I have used I haven't had any cons happen.

    Instant communication with unique features

    Date: Jul 02 2021
    Summary

    In the company, we use it to create communication groups and send large files right there. Other platforms do not have the same capacity and quality of sending files or documents. It is highly reliable and keeps the group together, essential for any person who wants a potent communication tool. It has a great scope of social interaction that is reflected in the quality of sending emoticons and files. It works very well, and you will like it to the fullest.

    Positive

    Podium has an excellent interface; it has a high quality in sending files, I can send images or audios without losing quality. Besides that, I use it to create more effective communication and with guaranteed security conditions. Podium cloud is incredible for storing information.

    Negative

    I'm not too fond of that without running the application, the messages don't arrive, I have to open the application, and it starts to connect to receive the Podium.

    They are the most expensive option for managing reviews by far.
