A lot of learning and trying things out but so much fun and I feel my creative juices flowing when I am building and thinking of how best to set up and use this platform for hosting our community.
One downside I found with Circle is its limited storage for growing communities and the lack of advanced automation features.
I love how beautiful the UI is for the this software. The UX is also intuitive and constantly be improved upon every year.
I've felt frustrated with bugs and customer service, which are the tradeoffs of choosing a smaller company over mighty networks & kajabi.
I enjoy running my community here and love the team who are very attentive. The platform is great, so easy to use and set up.
Also there are glitches which means sometimes I see things that are incorrect or inaccurate which causes confusion and frustation.
My overall experience with Circle has been sincerely positive. It’s given me the tools to build a values-driven, supportive community where people can connect in meaningful ways.
Updates which mean I lose features or have to update whole group spaces due to the the styling updates.
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.
There is a bit of a learning curve to Hivebrite and sometimes people are hesitant to add "one more thing" to their arsenal.
Was great specially to have [SENSITIVE CONTENT] as customer support. He's great and was always close and helpful with problems and ideas.
Limited customization of reports- beta reporting module is in development.
