Overall Satisfaction with Vanilla Forums

We use it as our support community for our customers. We have an extremely active community of participants who contribute content regularly. It allows our customers to support each other and connect with other users. It is a great tool for us.
  • They did an amazing job with transitioning our content from our old provider.
  • They have a great method for voting on the quality of posts.
  • Very good gamification capabilities.
  • We are really pleased with how it handles trolls.
  • I would like to see a bit more visual customization capabilities.
  • We will be looking into integration with WordPress and my impression is that they do not have a strong integration.
  • Voting up/down content is very valuable.
  • The indexing of content is fantastic for easy search.
  • It works great with SEO so that non users can find the content on Google.
GetSatisfaction offered no voting. It also didn't offer a good way to deal with trolls. Vanilla's indexing and SEO capabilities are far superior.
They did an amazing job transferring our content from GetSatisfaction. We had almost 100% success in the transfer of 8 years worth of content.
It is very intuitive and simple to operate. Our customers immediately came up with the curve and began contributing content.
