Bettermode

Avantages

I'm brand new to the SaaS community space, and honestly, Tribe was the right decision. I looked at some competitors that offered similar things, but at 2x the cost. I couldn't believe how incredible Tribe for the value.

Inconvénients

Again, when I bought the software, it had a long way to go. But it's made incredible strides since then, and I'm glad I purchased! Truly took it from an MVP software to THE MVP software in community engagement. Huge props to the product team, they have their heads screwed on straight.

Avantages

I like how bettermode gives me complete control over scaling and managing my community. Prior to bettermode, I was reliant on developers and designers - which was completely impractical.

Inconvénients

I couldn’t make too many complaints about bettermode, I understand that the software is a work in progress and the guys are always releasing new updates. The only feedback I would offer, is that receiving emails or a monthly newsletter about system updates would be helpful.

Avantages

It's very easy to use. We managed to build the community portal for our product within a week

Inconvénients

Don't know where to start. 1) It takes their support up to 72 h just to pick your ticket. 2) We submitted a ticket where we explained that the sitemap they generate for us automatically, contains errors. This prevents the web resource from being indexed by Google. It took them 10 days to just acknowledge the bug. Then we spend a month convincing them to fix it — I mean, common, your resource is invisible on Google, and you don't have access to the backend to even try to do anything — but Bettermode only issues empty promises saying "It's our priority". No deadlines, no dates – all along we remain a paying customer. Moving the community to Circle.so now

Avantages

The UI - clean and beautiful. Designing spaces are very easy.

Inconvénients

Which it had more features such as subscriptions to manage the memberships.

Avantages

In our use case, the critical part of the implementation was to bring community experience inside our pre-existing mobile app. Thanks to the modularity and comprehensive API offered by Tribe, we were able to build a community experience complete with an activity feed, posting capability, and networking inside the mobile app.

Inconvénients

There were a couple of missing parameters and endpoints in the API documentation. However, based on our request, team Tribe helped us with the API-based deployment and updated the documentation.

Easy set up with zero knowledge about the cloud infrastructure, coding, integrations with third-party apps, and excellent support makes Tribe unique.

Inconvénients

On the downside, Tribe's third-party integrations comes with a price for a commonly used apps like Slack or web hooks etc.

Avantages

The flexibility of the platform is great. When it comes to content structure or design, you can get creative. I also really enjoy the additional apps available on the app store as well as the amazing team behind Tribe. The team is super responsive and great in thinking along.

Inconvénients

I wish there was a better build in analytics tool. However, with their webhooks, api and integrations with some tools like Amplitude they do give good alternative solutions for this.

Tribe is an amazing platform, and I'm so glad that I discovered it. I've
been able to create a beautiful portal for the members of The Queen
Klass and so far everyone is loving the experience! I'm excited to see
what new and interesting features become available! Great work and many thanks to the Tribe team!

Inconvénients

Some of the features that I would like needs me to upgrade to a higher tier, which I'm not ready to do as yet. And there isn't an ability to go live on the platform. Or have a plugin to facilitate this.

Avantages

Since using Tribe, I've found that the platform is easy to use and fairly intuitive. The things I haven't been able to figure out, I've been able to find really quickly through Tribe's own community page. This, by far, has been one of the easiest investments and exciting platforms I've used to date.

Inconvénients

Limited chat feature, although there is a Telegram integration that works well.

Avantages

Tribe is the easiest, simplest way to launch a community for your brand. They have removed the technical hurdles to allow coaches, consultants, and freelancers to thoughtfully host a vibrant community of supporters, clients, and prospects.

Inconvénients

While the software is easy to use, the tradeoff is some limitations. Customization is limited to colors and graphics.

Avantages

To e it is the best looking platform, similar to well known plattforms like Facebook, which makes it easy for my users to get around.

Inconvénients

It is very complex and I am not sure, if I really make already the best use of it. And what I miss, ist the eMail feature out of Bettermode and the weekly digest Funktion and the planning and scheduling of postings. This would make everything much easier for me as an administrator.

Avantages

Tribe is a very good community/forum package. Extremely easy to set up, feature-rich, and well-designed. Tribe features include groups, topics, @mentiones, Rich Text formatting, polls, custom-domain support, telegram and messenger integration, CSS-customization and more. All this in a functional, intuative, and mobile-responsive design. Tribe also has good support for foreign languages, including perfect RTL alignment for relevant languages (such as Hebrew, used on our forum).
Most importantly of all, though, is the technical support, which is simply fabulous. Tribe's team is extremely helpful and supportive, open for suggestions and happy to help with every little problem - even with the Free product. I highly recommend you give it a try!

Inconvénients

Tribe is hosted on their servers, and not available for self-hosting, which might be an issue for some.
However with support for custom domains, branding and CSS customization, this shouldn't be an issue for most. Might even be an advantage.

Avantages

The platform is specifically designed for customer engagement in a modern online community or social space. It is fairly easy to configure and configurations around SSO (Single Sign-on) are straightforward.

We also love the customization aspect and the ability to pick and choose different apps.

Inconvénients

I’d love to see the Tribe team put more effort into the SEO configurations such as UGC links and enabling admins to add some domains into the whitelist so regular/do-follow links can be created.

Avantages

It’s intuitive and user friendly. It allows instant community building even with the basic futures. That it has itself a community of tribe users is a very good idea. I got timely support from there. When you request an answer or ask for a feature they get back to you with their full dedication. You will you partner with them.

Inconvénients

It’s monthly fee too expensive for us now at the stage of community building. There should be 3 months trial period so that we see to what extent it works when full features are used. Then if it works fee based period would start. Another thing that needs to be improved is to give several strong tools to admins to nurture, increase, and monitor how members interact. Rich statistics demonstrating many different types of member activities is the key to help create a viable, active, engaged community. Also, a smartphone app is a must. Finally, creating means to integrate other relevant apps into tribe would be very wise decision.

Avantages

I have been looking to build my own social media site for a long time. As CEO of a marketing agency, we routinely get blocked from some social media companies for posting too frequently when we manage many pages. The lost revenues in 2020 from big tech was huge. We have looked to develop our own social media when we discovered Tribe. Everything that we wanted is on this platform. It's easy to use, set up and manage. I am amazed at the price. You can't get software with this great quality anywhere else at this price. If you aren't making the switch now and building your own site, you are going to be late to the game soon.

Inconvénients

Building your social media site requires you to remind your followers, friends and family to join. It may take two or three times to remind them to move. They will.

Avantages

The features and apps within the service. That they have a free plan that works for most organizations and businesses seeking to foster a better relationship with customers and employees.

Inconvénients

Customization is only by CSS, if you are not familiar with the coding it may appear cumbersome.

Avantages

This platform is very flexible and comes with numerous native integrations while being intuitive and easy-to-use. Most important element in their offering is the team – they patiently understood our requirement for the community as an integral part of our software product. They guided us with clear strategy and explained the features best suited for our use case. Finally, the whole community was customized was exactly the way we wanted. All of these came at an extremely efficient cost.

Inconvénients

We encountered some bugs, but that’s understandable as this is a relatively new product. However, they fix the reported issues quickly and provide regular updates to improve further.

Avantages

Tribe is building a modern software product that allows you to deploy quickly. Their Admin settings are easy to use and the 3rd party integrations make it easy to connect with other tools.

Inconvénients

There are a few nits in the design that are currently not configurable - although it sounds that Tribe is going to make adjustments in the future.

The ability to create beautiful, minimalistic and content-driven communitites is outstanding.
Our staff can now share and cooperate in a very easy and motivating way.

Inconvénients

There could be a Google Drive implementation to upload material.

Avantages

I really like how Tribe feels like our own exclusive social media site - enabling members and admin to customize our experience.

Inconvénients

So far so good! I don't have much to add here. It is very user-friendly.

Avantages

Ease of use and set up. Easy navigation. The community members love it.

Inconvénients

I can't think of anything that it is missing at this time.

Avantages

I am loving the Tribe platform. It’s been really easy to set up. I’ve also really enjoyed how easy it is to integrate notifications to Slack so we can keep up with what’s happening on the Community pages at all times.

Inconvénients

There are new features that could be added but this is the same with all software and I believe as this product grows it's going to be amazing.

Avantages

The interface is user friendly - it can stand alone but also reminds you of other products out there (like Facebook groups, etc.) - so it offers the client/customer familiarity. This is what we were going for. We also really like the team/customer support; they are ready and willing to help us whenever we have questions or comments. They have taken our feedback seriously - and some of our suggestions are actually on the roadmap.

Inconvénients

There were some instances where the features/functionality didn't quite meet our needs (because we are working with an unique population) - but Tribe.so was able to address these for us.

Avantages

With Tribe I was able to create an amazing social media network with plenty of features! I made a professional scale website, transferred domains, and connected it to Adsense all for free! Tribe is truly one of the best out there in what they do and I would definitely recommend it.

Inconvénients

The only thing about Tribe I least liked was that I wasn't able to implement direct messaging directly on my website.
