Healing Coach
3.0

Taryn: Hi, I'm Taryn. I'm a healing coach for women. I give Mighty Networks a three out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. When considering Mighty Networks, we were moving away from Facebook groups and wanted to do a subscription-based platform so we could offer a paid feature. Facebook groups was not serving its purpose anymore, and it really came down to Mighty Networks or Tribe community site by Stu McLaren. The reason that we ended up choosing Mighty Networks is we were able to try before we bought it, which meant we could invite all of our hosts and all of the staff onto the website to really get a good feel for having people at different access levels and what that would look like. We also chose it for the incredible support that we were receiving. They have a lot of training videos for whatever level you're coming in at, and whatever business type and level you're at. One of the main features that we appreciated was that you could offer different plans with groups, resources, community access at different price points, and then really bundle things together in a way that was customizable. Getting started with Mighty Networks was fairly simple from the setup standpoint. They walk you through a paid course, and they show you the ropes of what is important in order to set up a successful community. They give you all the tools that you need to get started. But it was tricky initially once you're in the platform. I will say that the interface and the containers that exist within the platform can get confusing. I've been in the platform for about six months now and still get lost sometimes. So there are pieces that are not entirely navigation-friendly. But other than that, there is a lot of promptings, and they're consistently making updates to their platform so that it is more user-friendly as they go. If you're considering using Mighty Network for your existing business, that is excellent. You already have a base that you are pulling from, people that are bought into what you have. So it is just such a natural fit to invite a community piece into that. If you are getting started with a business, which is what we were doing, a community platform was and is still hard to launch. So I would just say the major consideration there is, where are you at in your business building? And consider, if you don't have as much of a following, maybe using some other type of unpaid community platform at first to get the ball rolling, and then offering something more robust like Mighty Networks as you go-

Pippa M
Knowledge and Training Coordinator
5.0

Pippa: I'm Pippa. I'm the knowledge and training coordinator for the customer service department at Burberry. Globally we have a little bit over 10,000 employees, and overall I'd probably give Bloomfire five stars. So previously, being customers have hubs in the service department, we have a lot of information. We struggled to keep it all in one place. I think we tried various different solutions using many different softwares, but we really needed somewhere to keep it central and to keep it well organized and have an administrator looking after it frequently, which is something that's been a really positive change for us. We chose Bloomfire because of the strong customer support they offer. We check in with them regularly, which has been really, really helpful for us. We also chose them because it was a very user-friendly and visually appealing platform, as well as being a very big name and a leader in this field of knowledge management. So it was very much something we knew was tried and tested and would work for us. On a whole, the integration was pretty easy. I think the most difficult part was just that we had a large volume of information. The actual integration using the CSV and everything like that was pretty straightforward. It was very user-friendly. It was just time-consuming to move across so much information. I think for anyone considering getting Bloomfire, I'd definitely recommend having some people in your team who have some time dedicated just to keeping on top of managing the platform, especially if you have a lot of content. The platform itself very user-friendly. It's very adaptable but as things do with knowledge management, you just need to keep on top of it. You need to have a little bit of awareness. They have some really great tools, such as a tool that marks things as green if they've been checked within a certain amount of time, which then marks it as expired or current, which we found a really great tool in the last 12 months or so.
