I love the fact that everything is so customizable. The support from phpfox is amazing and the apps from the store is everything I need for my platform.
I was having some issues with understanding the hosting process and my ignorance of the issue almost caused a serious mess.
I like how you can edit admin side good and has alot of amazing features. You have facebook type wall ;love it.
Documentation was poor, and upgrades were always buggy and never free from stress.
The software is relatively easy to install and if there were any difficulties, help was given immediately, thanks again to the very good support.
Do not run directly to the news feed, when no login is required. I wish, no need to login to still run to the news feed.

I have been a user of PhpFox for over a decade, and it has gone through many controversial twists and turns and evolutions as the ownership has changed hands several times.
It is was nice to work with such an experienced partner in community management, that not only offers good value for money, but also offers good advice in building a professional community platform.
Technical support is the worst of all compared to competitors. The price, while not the highest, is among the highest.
The customer service is excellent and very punctual and always polite. The "People" page is very good, as it allows to have a quick visual of all the network and where it is located.
The lack of customizable options when it comes to font, color, sizing, and general edits.
Content rich design has a lot of useful places for various types of data/info. Elegant visual design that draws your members towards useful info.
