**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

Its UI could use some updating and there should be better logs and auditing tools to review and troubleshoot workflows.

Nothing really, pretty straightforward and easy to use.

Read the entire text box before connecting data points in Podio, it will save you a lot of time.

I am able to automate processes in Podio that help reduce redundant tasks like sending email and moving data between apps

  ### 3. Flexible, Powerful Process Management

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Susan D. | CIO (Chief Idea/Implentation Officer), Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2017

**What do you like best about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

So customizable and flexible to auto-manage any process. With Podio, you can manage just about any system you can imagine. 

**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

So complex it takes a while to get used to... Wish there was more graphic tools to create the flow. 

**Recommendations to others considering GlobiFlow for Podio:**

Put the trial though some sample processes...  if you wonder it it can be done... likely there is a way.

**What problems is GlobiFlow for Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Prospect nurturing; client on-boarding, project management; team communication; information archive

  ### 4. A Great Power-Up for Turning Podio into an All-Encompassing Solution

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Peta W. | Co-Founder, Management Consulting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2020

**What do you like best about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

The scope of what is possible with Globiflow is vast. 

It provides a good combination of intermediate and advanced functionality depending on the level of the user.

It is very quick to implement workflows.

**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

The interface is dated.

The UX of the schema diagrams makes them difficult to read.

An easy-access cheat sheet for formulae would be helpful.

A manual refresh is required if fields have changed. It would be great if this could be done automatically on launch.

It would be great if it was easier to combine information from multiple apps fo reporting (although that is as much a Podio problem as it is a Globiflow problem)

There can sometimes be issues with timing when one flow needs to trigger another.

Tracking bugs to specific apps and items could be much easier.

**Recommendations to others considering GlobiFlow for Podio:**

Globiflow is a great way to take Podio to the next level. Rollout can be quick and efficient compared to similar platforms. 

Knowledge of PHP is definitely useful. 

Ensure users are very clear on what changes they can and cannot make in Podio to avoid Globiflows breaking!

**What problems is GlobiFlow for Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have implemented solutions for clients in many different sectors with varied requirements. 

Most often we are using flows to:
- automatically transfer data between apps upon creation or changes to a record eg. moving prospects to a client app
- automatic task creation
- provide email functionality
- manage HR solutions such as time-tracking, recruitment, and vacation requests
- managing event RSVPs
- document management using RightSignature

  ### 5. GlobiFlow for businesses that use Podio

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alexandra S. | Sponsorship Manager, Events Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2018

**What do you like best about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

I like using GlobiFlow for Podio when I want to prompt colleagues when there is a task they need to complete. I also like that all of the "flows" are saved on our account so that we can go back to others and see what the prompts for those were. I also like that there is a quick view of all of the Podio workspaces on the left side of the screen which makes selecting the correct worksheet easier.

**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

One thing I dislike about GlobiFlow is that setting up the flow of prompts is sort of complicated and hard to understand at first.

**Recommendations to others considering GlobiFlow for Podio:**

Using GlobiFlow will take a little time to get used to, there is a learning curve. I suggest watching any helpful videos and reading any help forums before and while you are starting your first "flow".

**What problems is GlobiFlow for Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The main reason I use GlobiFlow for Podio is to task colleagues with the next steps in an automatic and seemless way.

  ### 6. Hardcore automation for Podio

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bram L. | BIM Advisor I Architect MAA, Architecture & Planning, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2017

**What do you like best about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

So barebones, in-your-face simple awesome automation system for Podio. Actually even more fond of Globiflow than Podio it self because it really sets your data free with superpowered yet simple to use drag and drop "coding".
Solid syncing - after having build and deployed your flow they simply just sit there performing day in and day out. Never have had the feeling of it being flaky or delayed.
With Globiflow you can build almost everything you can think of and need to automate and perform bulk operations in Podio.

**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

A bit to 90's old school interface, does not look or feel like Podio at all, could make adoption easier if it was just a little bit more acomplished. Clearly an engineers interface :)
Also some "flows" will be reset if you change something earlirer in the flow making you build everything again - you need to choose the correct type before starting making experimentation cumbersome.
Learning curve can be a bit steep on some more advanced features and the documentation is very sparse if prices.

**Recommendations to others considering GlobiFlow for Podio:**

Search the web before building, will save you a lot of time.
Don't underestimate the simple interface - great software.

**What problems is GlobiFlow for Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Loads! KPI tracking across 8 different categories. Moving data around between Podio apps. Triggering events on certain days, like backup and Podio field updates. Sending out custom PDFs to clients attending our events.Filling out data on all related items to main accounts in one simple session.

  ### 7. Great at automating basic tasks 

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Natalie G. | Accounting Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 03, 2018

**What do you like best about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

I like that I can create workflows that automate, or recurring reminders/issues/work orders so I don't have to set reminders for myself elsewhere. 

**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

Sometimes there are glitches that I've had to work around. 

**What problems is GlobiFlow for Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Automating recurring work orders to send to vendors - was often a chore before we started using GlobiFlow. 

  ### 8. Globyflow is Podios missing link

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** John H. | Operations Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2017

**What do you like best about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

Globyflow picks up where Podio falls short. This addition to the Citrix family is a necessity.

**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

I dislike the slow implementation of new features since the Citrix acquisition.

**Recommendations to others considering GlobiFlow for Podio:**

Amazing user forums!

**What problems is GlobiFlow for Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Automation of daily tasks like emails and mathematical equations.

  ### 9. Versatile and easy add-on for Podio

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Santiago G. | Desarrollador de Empresas Cooperativas, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 11, 2017

**What do you like best about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

Almost all your basic business workflows can be automated and you can convert a static database in Podio into a real information management system.

**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

I wish there was more information on use cases, and I believe they created an interesting graphs option but the graphs design is a little bit outdated.

**What problems is GlobiFlow for Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Sending automated transactional e-mails, updating fields in database based on changes in related items, completing workflows.

  ### 10. Globiflow saves us a lot of time.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Scott B. | Marketing Director, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2017

**What do you like best about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

Globiflow is an amazing add-on for Podio. It is extremely well designed and a must have. Globiflow allows you to set up all kinds of workflows based on triggers. This is essential for a CRM. Podio has some built in workflow features, but they pale in comparison to the robust Globiflow.

**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

Havent found anything to dislike so far ( we have only just implemented in the last 90 days).

**Recommendations to others considering GlobiFlow for Podio:**

Globiflow is a must have if you are using Podio and have any level of needed tasks and reminders beyond the most basic. We used a consultant for our implementation of Podio and globiflow, which we would recommend. We spent about $3000 on a consultant for our design and implementation, which we thought was reasonable.

**What problems is GlobiFlow for Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Globiflow is an add-on for Podio. The combination creates an awesome and fully customizable CRM. We use Podio/Globiflow to manage our leads and appointments (we also added Globimail for a more robust email service). Globiflow in particular allows us to set up all kinds of triggers and then other events. For example, whenever an appointment status is markes Prepared (paperwork and research is ready), this triggers a task for the manager to review, etc. The benefits are organization and efficiency in managing our leads.

  ### 11. Not as easy as expected

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2017

**What do you like best about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

The expectation of automated CRM workflows.

**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

The code consistently fails and requires substantially more technical ability than was lead to believe.

**Recommendations to others considering GlobiFlow for Podio:**

run

**What problems is GlobiFlow for Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Podio would be substantially more clumsy and inarticulate without Globiflow.

  ### 12. Great and necessary addon to Podio

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sarah C. | Executive Director, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2017

**What do you like best about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

It's incredibly powerful and allows you to really leverage the data in podio.  The support network is great as well.

**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

The rate-limiting is due to podio's restrictions, so you can't really blame that on Globiflow, but sometimes it gets in the way. The ability to purchase emergency actions for those times is great. 

**Recommendations to others considering GlobiFlow for Podio:**

If you need to automate with Podio, this is the thing to use.

**What problems is GlobiFlow for Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use globiflow to create form letters, automatically update the database, link with zapier and other tools. We save TONS of time using it/

  ### 13. It completes podio

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2016

**What do you like best about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

The ease with which you can create workflows and automations is fantastic. Podio as a standalone store of data would only be worth half of what it is with globiflow. 

**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

Sometimes the syntaxes and php style formulas can get out of hand really quick with respect to complexity. It also does need to put in some testing scenarios where we could visualise how the data would be manipulated without actually having to try a new workflow/formula on live data. 

**What problems is GlobiFlow for Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used podio to store internal org data and create management workflows around them such as reminders, notifications, automated emails etc. It made it a lot easier for our staff as they were doing all of those activities manually and forgetfulness on their part would screw up the dashboards for the upper management. This ensured compliance as well as made it easier too. 

  ### 14. Saves so much time in Podio

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2016

**What do you like best about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

It is much better than the standard Podio workflow automation. Best thing about it is how much time it saves from replicating copy-and-paste, tedious tasks that need to be done over and over again on a consistent basis. I also love how it is basically a business hub. You have a CRM and project management tools.

**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

It kind of seems like something that should be built natively into Podio as a regular feature rather than an add-on. I think it should come standard and not at a premium price. It also isn't perfect. It has some things it doesn't seem to address perfectly in terms of workflow steps and doing exactly what you want it to.

**Recommendations to others considering GlobiFlow for Podio:**

Be thorough with your initial automation setup.

**What problems is GlobiFlow for Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Project management and CRM tools to keep track of client projects and also notes related to sales that are made  so that when a deal closes, our project managers can have access to client-related notes without having to copy and paste or share the information verbally with the project management team.

  ### 15. Perfection for extending Podio's functions

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** April-Nichole M. | Quality Assurance and UI/UX Designer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2016

**What do you like best about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

I like how easy it is to set up basic automation. And anything more complicated is easily navigated with examples, help guides. and a Podio workspace dedicated to crowdsourcing information. 

**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

There isn't much I don't like. But if I had to choose something, it's that there aren't more features related to date fields when an item is created.

**What problems is GlobiFlow for Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Benefits are time saving by automating tedious repetitive functions that we do on a daily or weekly basis. It just makes life a bit easier. 

  ### 16. Globiflow is unique

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Investment Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 07, 2016

**What do you like best about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

I like that it automates documents, such as contracts. We use it for sending real estate contracts directly to our current and potential customers

**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

That it is quite a challenge to modify the document. And if you want to see the document, you can't preview the pdf. You have to email it to yourself. 

**What problems is GlobiFlow for Podio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Automating processes. We have benefited from manually creating contracts

  ### 17. Best tool ever for automating your workflow

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Romain V. | Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 20, 2015

**What do you like best about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

The flexibility, everything seems possible and the support is very fast and efficient

**What do you dislike about GlobiFlow for Podio?**

UX/UI could be better, it is still a tool for podio power users

We automate all our processes with globiflow, saving hundreds of man hours
