During COVID-19 Tribe [Community Platform] allowed non-profit organizations to utilize the premium features for free which was a great benefit. It has helped us utilize our community in order to answer questions rather than having an abundance of support tickets. Tribe [Community Platform] needs to increase spam filters and bot accounts however, as many of the community's are overrun with them. I manually remove these accounts each week.

A great scenario that we use the community for is product adoption. That's one of the things we use it for. So sending our new customers as part of their onboarding flow to the community to learn from others and see the resources that are available and know that there's a place for them to ask questions and get their questions answered. That's probably one of our primary use cases and scenarios that it works straight in. I can't really think of something that it wouldn't work good for. That's a tough one to think of on the spot.

  • Analytics; too much trapped behind APIs
  • Permissions; tends to be all or nothing
  • Text editor (outdated) + flat topics (give us threaded!)

I'd give it a nine because there are some aspects of it that we've had to, we've tried to find workarounds for, but there was no alternative but to involve engineering support and rely on custom development to make it work how we needed to

Performance
It is fast, easy to configure, and does what it promises. Also, the pricing based on monthly active users is great in comparison to other solution who simply charge based on the registered users.

Support Rating
The Support and Success team have been highly responsive, in general, most of the queries get answered within a day (sometimes even a few hours). They helped us immensely with brainstorming and suggesting the best practices to set up the community for success during our onboarding period. Some of our suggestions to add certain features were well-accepted and the product team worked on them to solve the issues.

Gainsight was the best combination of features, service, and price. HL/Vanilla ultimately did not impress, and Khoros was more effort than our small team could manage

  • We've had a ton of positive direct customer feedback with regards to the Communities; a lot of them are very happy with the implementation and features it provides.
  • We have lots of customer interactions with both our colleagues as well as other customers and that has shown to lower support outreach in cases where customers normally would have opened support tickets.
