Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The layout is nice. It is very interactive. I have enjoyed using this product so far and hope to continue using it.
  • Ayoa really helps my coworkers and I stay on task remotely. We are able to send messages and track progress and it is not invasive of everyones individual work schedule.
  • Helps me organize my thoughts - easily! I like the style and the way it displays. Creating new maps is easy due to the menu layout and short cuts.
  • Having everything in one place was a big draw (Mindmap, diagrams, kanban) that said there is still plenty of improvements that are needed to make those elements flow together.
  • The canvas feature, where you can arrange your to-do list into bubbles grouped by category, is awesome. The orange and red tags for Priority or Importance draw my eye to the things I need to get done first. Things that I have checked off don't disappear immediately but instead, turn a darker color for a few days before disappearing which allows me to pat myself on the back a bit.

Cons

  • It can be a little complex. I need a product that is simple.
  • I really preferred the previous name DropTask. Ayoa seems a little weird and my brain has a hard time remembering it. I often still refer to it as DropTask.
  • It's not too easy to change fonts and to add pictures. Improving that functionality would help me.
  • Cons/suggestions: Mindmapping formats are very limited. speed map is very limited and doesn't allow you to move nodes to other nodes. Organic does, but I don't like the look of organic. Diagram is not usable for me. Moving lists to a Kanban doesn't really work well. I want to move individual items from a list to a specific category. I don't seem to have the option. Get rid of the "my planner", it just competes with the Kanban function and not very well. I want to be able to add subtask in my Kanban planner. I also want to set individual due dates to a checklist item in a task. Also, categories should have the option to set a background for the entire category. Imagain a red column, green column, orange column. To be competitive with Trello you will have to really mature the workflow portion of Ayoa. I am coming from using Trello for years. White board links should allow to choose some type of image or icon for that link. I don't like the icon that is pulled in by the URL.
  • I wish the canvas view was the default option rather than having to change from the workflow view every time.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Podio has been the number one tool for managing our projects, it has a comfortable interface that is perfectly suited to our work team to monitor the progress made in each of our projects. Collaborative tools allow us to fulfill all the work clearly and responsibly, creating tasks and subtasks that allow us to be more specific with what we require. The calendar system allows us to plan ourselves at a work level in a broad way, planning the days that each event occurs and keeping an order for the fulfillment of all tasks. Likewise, an advantage of a platform will always be mobile access since it allows us to interact within the platform from our mobile phone from wherever we need it. Real-time chat creates an efficient line of communication, creating a collaborative and self-management space that allows us to stay active and in constant daily exchange. It provides ample storage space that we always count on to keep our important work documents to keep up with our ongoing workflow. The creation of the reports has been part of our work development, with this we can obtain an analytical summary of the progress in our projects, see everything that has gone well and what has not, in a more dynamic way and with a processing of much more concise data.
  • The value you get from organizing information management across any business. No matter how small or big your business is, this software is valuable. Easy to learn and get the information you need about your business.
  • The task setting flexibility is awesome. Remote teams now work together with group efforts. Nice UX, work organizer, easy to assign tasks, progress reports and streamline projects.
  • Easy to setup & customize Highly customizable Great Apps Marketplace Drag & Drop App builder Podio API for custom integration Free version for upto five employees Multiple pricing tiers

Cons

  • The integrations are a bit limited; we work within a work system made up of different platforms that help us in various work procedures, many times we need to share our work reports and this limitation of integrations has not allowed us to expand this possibility. On the other hand, we have the perfect mobile application to give us access to the platform from wherever we are, however, its interface is a bit slow, and this is interfering with the flow of our work. In the same way, we have had to resort to customer support a couple of times and in none of these, I have been able to receive a quick response, I have had to solve it on my own to be able to continue with my work, the waiting time for a solution provided by customer support in my opinion can be too much for a company that cannot stop its work.
  • When IT get's too excited data inputs and reviewing can get too cluttered. Don't let IT alone design your system, bring in designers to help make it productive for all employees at any level that needs access.
  • It needs more collaboration options. Overall it's good.
  • Many of the integrations are paid. Missed on many advanced management features like time tracking.
