Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - Easy to get setup - Works easily and consistently - Allows you to preview signatures within Exclaimer
  • The product makes it easy to create and manage signatures.
  • -Uses AD or AAD/Entra ID to grab data/info for the signature so you don't need to change every single thing or visit their console just for it. -Once it's setup, it works like a charm
  • Nice visuals, really brightened up our email signatures and got the company aligned to our new branding
  • The visuals of the email signatures are amazing. We have a lot of detail and were able to customise the size to our liking.

Cons

  • - Signature editor is a bit slow/clunky - Feels more geared towards Office 365 environments vs. Google Workspace; some features lacking or unintuitive in Google. For example group email addresses etc. are harder to get signatures added to in Google vs. Office 365 - Support can be a bit slow; had to jump through hurdles to switch the server instances we are using (our free trial defaulted to a US-based instance when we are actually based in Australia, resulting in slow performance - took a while to get this fixed)
  • The license removal is only available on an annual basis.
  • -Had some weird bugs (what program doesn't) where it wouldn't format correctly after a reply, but it was resolved by the support team after a few weeks. -Console could use a UI update...
  • Not the easiest UX/UI form an upload point of view
  • Took us a very long time to get it up and running. We have been working on implementing this for around 4 months.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • This is by far the best review gathering platform for Google around. I think they are actually backed by Google.
  • To get all your reviews from different platforms makes it easier and saves time in the process. A very user friendly app which is easy to set up.
  • It makes interactions easy. Using only one platform we can reply to each and every messages. Google, Facebook, Instagram we can easily connect with our customer on any platform using this software. Responses very quickly. Simple and easy to use. Also we can check the history of any customers interaction.
  • Easy to use for both admins & users Efficient Review tracking Great dashboard for comprehensive view Integration with many platforms like Google, Facebook Automated Review invites feature Responsive customer service
  • The interface for both the administrator and customer is very simple and attractive. I can easily send someone a review invite in within few seconds that goes directly to the customer's phone. It's very effective and quick.
  • Clients can leave Google locals and Facebook review with some clicks. Which makes your business get recognized. Attractive and clean overall user interface. Easy to respond on negative feedback.
  • We've used this with a lot of our clients and it's a great way to send out sms reviews on the go and live chat on your website.
  • Easy to use and very simplistic. Encompasses everything you'd need to set up reviews to gather from customers.
