"Works Ok As A Mailing List"
4/5
What do you like best about Discourse?

This worked ok as a mailing list and enjoyed the forum option for fans to get engaged. It offers a unique tool that is why we chose the platform, but wish it could have done more so we could use it as a platform for multiple efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Discourse?

....but for it to compete with other platform options, it needed more tools and options for increased usability. I would rather have one platform that manages several things, then have to use 3 including Discourse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
