What do you like best about eXo Platform?
- The fact that you have a community (Tribe) is cool, makes it a lot easier for people to toy around a bit
- The fact that you enable people to create an account or connect through Facebook, LinkedIN or Google+, where most platform only allow people from the same domain.
- Activity stream is nice and beautiful, they also added that you can place an comment inline on the spot (although you must figure out that you have to click on the textbubble icon).
- Documents are working great! Also with adding documents with the same name (uploading a new version), it will ask you whether to override or keep both.
- Extensive possibilities to alter every page with widgets
- Chat functionality with videoconferencing with HIGH QUALITY! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about eXo Platform?
- Going from a linked account (to FB, LI of G+) to a normal eXo account isn't easy. You will want to do this when you also want to use the mobile app. It took me some serious supporting of teammembers to get this done.
- When you are using Tribe in combination with Facebook, LinkedIN or Google+ it takes a lot of steps to connect the app (but I managed).
- Forum functionality is a bit old skool (where is to possibility to mention people).
- Session time outs, I was writing a real long post that got lost when my session was closed... text gone!
- The whole system feels a bit clunky. The loading of pages, dialogs and screens is not snapy and definitely not lean. I'm working in Chrome but it still feels slow. This will be one of the easiest things to improve user experience.
- Integration of different modules. For example the agenda, I would like to add files that are already in documents. I couldn't find it. Also there is not rich text input.
- I couldn't find a simple widget to add "static rich text" to a page (probably it's available, but then not easily founded and definitely named inlogical)
- It took us a lot of figuring out how to easily start a videoconference. And it probably only works with two people and not more (because this is something we couldn't get to work). Also having the chat screen open slows down my browser (and therefore my computer) a lot!
- Searching for other member (auto-complete) is sometimes just not working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
