    Higher Logic
    Higher Logic works very well for our business purposes. We can very easily create new communities when we need to (and this is often!). Our association isn't as concerned with driving engagement, but the tools Higher Logic provides allows us to take a closer look at the engagement level of our committee members when needed

    1. It helps automate your marketing campaigns - send emails, does automated follow-up, creates leads directly into the CRM
    2. Helps you track the performance of your marketing campaign
    3. Its a cost-effective tool
    4. Their integration with salesforce and Hubspot is missing, will require you to do it manually
    5. Their email editor is quite basic with many must-have designing features missing

    Pros
    Higher Logic
    • Higher Logic product managers are probably some of the best in the industry. They know their products and aren't pushy in trying to sell them to you. Don't get me wrong, they do try to sell you a product, but they understand that not everyone who is tasked with learning more is also a decision maker. That doesn't stop them from being professional and thorough in their demonstrations or explanation of fees.
    • Their technical support is top notch. Not only do they work to resolve issues, they also work with you to help you with non-issues. Our initial redesign was done by an agency that worked with HL directly to set up the new site. When I was tasked with a mini-redesign this year, HL technical support offered me a lot of insight on how to best do this using just my skills and HL.
    • They offer training on their platforms to ensure your success as an administrator. There is no cost and you can either go to their onsite two days "boot camp" or you can access a plethora of training videos and webinars through their online users' community.

    • The platform navigation is very smooth.
    • Easily switch from CRM to Marketing Automation tool
    • I like the featured when the leads goes directly into CRM if you have run the email campaign from the tool or anyone had subscribed to the blogs.

    Cons
    Higher Logic
    • Reporting is copious but you cannot build your own reports so you may have lots of information in several different reports and have to pick and choose across several to combine manually. Exporting functionality is there but there are some reports that are only a screen shot and you cannot export them.

    They are a great company that offer great products - primarily their community. As they continue to grow and expand their offerings, I believe they will increase the number of products that offer and in turn grow their client base. We use their community, activity synch, and volunteer manager currently.

    Usability
    Higher Logic
    The software is not that simple to use when you have to get volunteers involved in the content assembly process. The content management system that is native to Higher Logic could improve to make the task of training volunteers far easier. Given its simplicity, it is hard for the system to rival more developed websites that use advanced CMS software.

    1. Has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of email editor and lead management
    2. Out-of-the-box reporting features should also be made available
    3. Should provide integration with other software
    4. The user experience could be improved
    5. The tool can be made a little faster to operate
    6. Workflows, land page, and form options can be improved

    Support Rating
    Higher Logic
    Higher Logic's support is sub-par at best. It can be difficult to get in contact with anyone from the support team, and when you do, it seems as if they don't want to talk to you and don't even have the answers to your questions. Within the past few months, we've contacted them twice and both times have been very disappointing. The first time was to let them know there was an inconsistency between the analytics report and the heat map. They basically said that they already knew about the problem but didn't have any set plans to fix it because they were working on other "more important" things. The second time was for a conference call to go over some additional features that we wanted to implement. And the lady we spoke with seemed very disgusted to have to speak with us and then rushed us off the phone because she had another call.

    The customer support team is active and reverts promptly to support requirements. However, most of the requirements takes a lot of time to get fixed.

    We are just in the early stages of looking into HubSpot Service Hub to determine if it will be a viable replacement for Higher Logic Community. We have other uses for the ServiceHub so there is an appeal to have it be a "one stop shop" for us. The big question however is how it will stack up to Higher Logic for the online communities. Candidly, while Higher Logic may be tough to beat in this area, it is something we will be looking closely at in the next 12 months.

    Return on Investment
    Higher Logic
    • Understanding preferences-- Higher Logic helps us tap in to how our members want to hear from us.
    • Data collection-- Since we started using Higher Logic the amount of data we get from our members has increased greatly.
    • Consolidation of tools-- Higher Logic replaced 2 or 3 additional SAAS options being utilized by us. This helped save money!
