Has Podio stopped progressing?

When we started using Podio we were convinced by its modular concept. We found many features missing, but through building our individual apps we could overcome some of them. Especially because we believed in the development of this promising thing called Podio. And then came Citrix.

Sorry to be straight, but my honest opinion is that from that day nothing has changed.

I don't wanna count the troubles that we run into with Podio. My main point is that it's offered as a project management tool, which - compared to other tools on the market nowadays - it isn't, because it's lagging standard PM functions. And I think that the world of online collaboration and PM tools is in progress, so why isn't Podio?

  Hi Daniel Bauer,

  I do understand your apprehension regarding new functionalities on Podio.

  Podio has been focussed on security and scalability enhancements and hence we have not been able to deliver many new functionalities. In fact, it is not just Podio, but most other Citrix products also have their primary focus on security and scalability as it is the need of the hour. We want to provide a more reliable platform for our customers first.

  In line with your concern of troubles you face on Podio, our team has been consistently delivering optimisations and upgrades to Podio over the last couple of months that have significantly improved product performance. Details about some of the major upgrades have been communicated in our Product News section. Would recommend you to positively follow this page to be aware of all new major releases.

  In addition to these major optimisations, there have been multiple minor releases that contribute to incrementally enhancing Podio. If you are interested in learning about these and testing new beta releases, I will be happy to add you as a Beta user. That will let you be aware of and submit your feedback and thoughts on upcoming features, as well as help us test beta features before they are released to all user. 

  Having said that, we are also working on multiple collaboration initiatives in parallel. Let me know if you would be willing to share feedback as part of our discovery processes.

  Best,

  Pallabi Patnaik
