### HL Community Platform engages members and aids committee work

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Kimberly S.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: 3-5 years · daily
- Reviewed: November 2018
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

HL community allows our members to engage each other across the country - and across generations (we've actually had posts from members in their 80s and 90s - so you know the ease of use is there!) HL community also allows us better communications and project organization. (the competing product we use in this is Board BookIt.)

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Ease of use for Open Forum communications is great We have used extensively in our governance and it really organized and standardized our committee work. Ability to integrate with Abila product Abiilty to aid our chapters

#### Cons

I wish the libraries were easier to use - like Windows Explorer (does that show I'm old and not yet used to Sharepoint?) Wish you could duplicate "events" in the calendar like committee meetings. Wish the libraries were like google docs/share point and could be worked on collaboratively.

- Product usage: 1-3 years · weekly
- Reviewed: February 2020
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

The addition of the HL community has been a great service and value to our members. Pros definitely outweigh the cons.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

It shows that they use their longevity and experience to improve their products based on user and client feedback.

#### Cons

As a single product user, it sometimes feels as if our needs are not as urgent (bug fixes, improvements).

### They're going to need a while to iron out the bugs.

- Overall rating: 2/5
- Reviewer: Barbra B.

- Product usage: less than 1 year · daily

- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

The sales team is great, they promise the world. It seems to rapidly fall apart after that. I've just now spent half an hour on a tech chat simply trying to get a URL for an image uploaded to the site. I finally just used the Inspect feature in the browser to get my own answer.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 1/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 1/5

#### Pros

I am submitting this review to deal primarily with the design aspects of the platform. I haven't gotten to the point where I can comment on the application itself.

#### Cons

In short, at this time the design interface is pretty bad. It's cumbersome at best, you have to jump to different areas of the interface to edit a single page. Despite it being based on the Bootstrap system, it is a terrible bastardization that does not allow even a full-width image to be displayed in a hero, you can't go wider than 1200px, so it looks awful on most desktops. This, I am told, is a known issue going back MONTHS.

### Rethinking our entire structure

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Verified Reviewer
- Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management
- Company size: 501-1000 employees
- Product usage: less than 1 year · daily
- Reviewed: November 2019
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

I learned I have no unique questions! But the great news is that the community really comes together to share their experiences and answers. Every question I've had I found answers on HUG.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I love how easily configurable this platform is and how extensively I am able to customize our brand through customization. We chose to integrate directly using activity sync and I am excited to see how these two products are able to work in tandem to drive behaviors and engagement.

#### Cons

Lack of localization. As a global organization of 1.2 million members in over 180 countries, we support multiple languages (including English, Italian, Spanish, Korean, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish). No being able to provide the platform in multiple languages gates off members that we would otherwise like to engage.

### Great communities, so-so CMS

All of our communities and directories are hosted on Higher Logic. It functions smoothly with our wordpress website, as well as our integration with MemberClicks.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Higher Logic is great for communities and directories. There's lots of automation that makes contacting members and keeping everyone up to date on things very easy. The communities make it easy for members across the globe to communicate daily, sharing the latest information, tips and tricks.

#### Cons

The content management system/website portion is not as powerful or customizable (without serious HTML/coding experience) as other web platforms out there.

### Gets the right information to the right people at the right time.

It's been good since going live with our users. The implementation was shaky, but we got through it together with the Higher Logic team. Now that we're live, I can't imagine using our old system, or anything else. It does what we need to keep our customers engaged, connected and knowledgeable.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

We've been live about a year and our staff and customers love the Qualifacts Community powered by Higher Logic. The system is head and shoulders above our previous system. We have created communities by user persona and state. It's our central documentation and resource site. Customers are engaged, and have started doing a lot of self-support.

#### Cons

The CMS is capable, but quirky. I still get confused trying to arrange content blocks and creating content. The email/automation rule process isn't well designed for sending one-off messages, or even recurring, but unscheduled messages like system status updats.

Our members and staff both love our new community. We went from a listserv type of system that didn't have great archive capabilities to Higher logic and now we have awesome archives, tagging and increased member engagement. The automation have also made staff's job a lot easier. It isn't quite set it and forget it but its close. We don't have to specifically go back and add members, this is just done through automations.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The ability to have a history of the topics members have discussed that is easily searchable and organizable with tags.

#### Cons

We had a few hic ups when we switched integrations to a new AMS system but we contacted our customer service manager and she worked it out and got things running again.

It is adult social media for professionals! Great place for members to share their expertise and ask questions privately, exclusive to an audience of colleagues who understand their issues and concerns.

#### Cons
