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.		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Sending reminders using integrated contacts / scheduling data from our medical practice management software; Caller ID populated from contacts in PMS; One platform for phone, text, reminders, and fax. I like how the phone comes with everything as well. I was able to cancel my phone provider and save money with Weave. Very helpful software to bring all your marketing into one platform and to allow calls on the go in their app. Cons Spotty phone service; No user programable administration of auto attendant - requires talking to support to tell you how your auto attendant is configured and to reprogram it; SMS text app is very limited - uses only one inbox and can't organize multiple users into individual conversation threads (like ZipWhip or heyMarket); Support has gotten much more difficult to contact and lower level support isn't that helpful; Tiny desktop app interface!! Only as big as a typical cell phone screen; not sizable. Big limitation when using the app for many functions; After using Weave for nearly a year, they've been totally unresponsive to product suggestions. There’s nothing about Weave that I didn’t like. Everything is A OK. Not much we dislike about it so far so good with our clients.
