"Great for gathering reviews and communicating with customers."
What do you like best about Podium?

Easiest way for our team members to secure reviews from customers. Ease of use and customer interaction is simple! Live chat on our site has been our newest addition and very successful and useful with customers. Multiple locations on a simple platform.

What do you dislike about Podium?

Often it doesn't auto refresh on desktop. Can be frustrating to see new msgs from customers at times. Having multiple locations and redirecting reviews to different sources to help with google reviews has been difficult to manage as well. Pricing for multiple locations makes it very expensive for a small company to consider.

What problems is Podium solving and how is that benefiting you?

Communicating with customers via text with our main phone # and live chat on our website through podium has been a great source and makes it streamline.

We use this service for getting reliable reviews with our patients. It is very easy to use and messages get to our patients very quickly. In under a minute, you can add the user to Podium with their information and send out a text/email with a review. I also enjoy that our leads have a section and you can find out how many users within your specific organization have sent out and how many have responded.

What do you dislike about Podium?

It does take some time to get used where some of the settings live.

What problems is Podium solving and how is that benefiting you?

"Good app, useful features"
What do you like best about Podium?

I’m not the one in the office getting the full benefit of this however as a technician using it as a reliable app if a little heavy weight for my iPad 2. Overall though it doesn’t seem bloated and does what you ask it too. Mines texting customers, emailing and gathering reviews and a nice package

Takes a long time to load up, Upon starting it takes a very long forward the absolute up so that I can talk to customers which is a pain but I’m in a hurry

What problems is Podium solving and how is that benefiting you?

Good communication with customers who appreciate texting, It lets you know whether the number you’re trying to text is a landline or a WhatsApp number

This platform is a great opportunity for an small or large business for communication between consumers and providers. It allows for a personable feel for all customers, and also allows for questions to be answered directly and at a faster pace.

What do you dislike about Podium?

The only downside was the fact that the review link sometimes does not work.
