LK

Larry K.

“Hassle free monthly data input - lots of metrics to look at, included most of my staff with their metric campaign”
SG

Stephen G.

General Manager

“Total Comfort is overall very pleased with Podium and the abilty to have our customers text us directly through our website.”
EB

Erika B.

Sales Administrative Assistant

Pros

“The automation features and reporting tools help businesses stay engaged with customers and improve their digital presence. While the pricing and learning curve can be challenging, Birdeye is a valuable solution for businesses looking to strengthen customer relationships and manage their reputation effectively.”
KL

Kate L.

Sales

“We love that Birdeye helps us with our online presence by giving our patients the option to leave a review for us if they had a great experience, but it also allows them to give us direct feedback if they didn't have a great experience. ”
LH

Lacy H.

Office Manager

“We can track how many leads go from Birdeye to converted sales and it shows the true value for the money we get with our investment every monthly.”
EP

Eric P.

VP of Sales

Cons

“Email responses took weeks, and phone calls went unanswered entirely. When we requested to cancel our account, that request was ignored, and Podium continued charging us for six additional months after we tried to cancel.”
JO

Jim O.

CEO

“We ran into significant system downtime on multiple occasions, and each time, we couldn't get anyone from support to help us troubleshoot or resolve the issue in a reasonable timeframe.”
JO

Jim O.

CEO

“Between the downtime and the billing dispute, the good technology wasn't enough to keep us as customers.”
JO

Jim O.

CEO

Cons

KL

Kate L.

Sales

“Birdeye can be a bit pricey, especially for smaller teams or businesses on a tighter budget.”
GY

Ghiwa Y.

“Sometimes the auto responses do not fire to all reviews that I have auto responses set up for.”
