We were keen to know at GetApp which apps are very useful for your business in terms of increasing productivity, cost cutting, obtaining more clients, creating a happier team and so on. Therefore, we have asked the folks on Quora, what they believe are going to be the people´s top cloud business apps for 2013. We would like to share a summary of the most mentioned apps organized by key categories with you.

This is a summary of the most mentioned apps:
