SocialEngine PHP

SocialEngine is really awesome because you have access to the source code. Knowing how it's built allows you to add features of your own that make sense to you and your ideal users. I run a small community of dog lovers on SocialEngine Managed and it's amazing. They run regular updates to mitigate the bugs and keep improving the features for a better end-user experience.

PROS

You can really customize your Social Network with Plugins and take it to a whole new level. For example with Shop Plugin from the store, I was able to add social commerce and allowed a specific group of members to open stores and sell, just like in the Facebook marketplace and Instagram shops now. There are a lot of their party plugins in the marketplace to help anyone customize their social network to fit the niche they are building for.

CONS

SocailEngine requires a level of expertise to manage, and for me at the beginning as a NoCode builder, it was s challenge. You need to know what you are doing as you have access to the source code and you can mess up at any time when making changes. Now if you are a developer, this is not a problem, but for NoCode bulders like me out there, this will be a challenge you will face as well.

Reason for choosing SocialEngine PHP

SocialEngine was cheaper and had the particular plugin I needed to get started with my community idea.

Customer support was absolutely terrible

I suggest the good folks at SE take customer support education class and lean some fundamentals of what good support looks like. Then, re-build your company around that! Software is just software, it's the people who support it that matters. The worst of it: slow response times, no updates on status, not giving any proactive info about new releases, or migration to new platform.

PROS

I built an ideation platform using SocialEngine for a university and was the admin for 3+ years. While the software has many good features, the customer support was one of the worst experiences I've had as a professional web developer.

CONS

Working on a new project now and SocialEngine came up again, but this time I advised my clients to steer away from using it.
