GlobiFlow for Podio Reviews & Product Details

I really like how GlobiFlow for Podio can be completely streamlined to suit our exact requirements. Despite the large learning curve, its ability to manage multiple aspects of our business like fire extinguisher servicing, online training, course bookings, and day-to-day maintenance in one system is a major benefit. Also, it links in seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very dated and there's no AI, which is disappointing since many companies have embraced AI. Building flows can be quite complicated, and AI could really help with this. The initial setup was quite difficult, and we had to bring in a specialist. It was a big learning curve, but over the years, we've learned how to build it out ourselves.

GlobiFlow is a true no-code / low-code solution designed for business users who need to create detailed workflows that update several modules/tables in their Podio database. Almost any type of complex workflow can be created, including: external communications through e-mail and SMS, as well as within the Podio internal messaging system, PDF creation, external webhook handling and complex updating of related database records.

Its UI could use some updating and there should be better logs and auditing tools to review and troubleshoot workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the logic based design tool. It really helps guide the user through the "If, then" process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really, pretty straightforward and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So customizable and flexible to auto-manage any process. With Podio, you can manage just about any system you can imagine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So complex it takes a while to get used to... Wish there was more graphic tools to create the flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 for 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about GlobiFlow is that setting up the flow of prompts is sort of complicated and hard to understand at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 accomplished. Clearly an engineer's interface :) Also some "flows" will be reset if you change something earlier 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there are glitches that I've had to work around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Globyflow picks up where Podio falls short. This addition to the Citrix family is a necessity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the slow implementation of new features since the Citrix acquisition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Almost all your basic business workflows can be automated and you can convert a static database in Podio into a real information management system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
