"Effortless Integration and Exceptional Support"
What do you like best about Viafoura?

I really like Viafoura's functionality out of the box, which is great. All the components and the styling are very simple, easy to use, and easy to integrate. The documentation provided for our dev teams is exceptional, and I appreciate the simplicity of taking it out of the box and using it on our site. There's also customization that allows us to make it our own and fit it within our site. The relationship we've had with Viafoura support and our rep has been great. We get help and guidance when needed, along with links to documentation. I always appreciate the relationship I have with Viafoura. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viafoura?

I mean, we have frequent spam accounts that will leave, like, a generic spam comment, and we usually self moderate because they are tricky. They don't include any hateful language or things like that, but they are spam, and it's, like, product promotion. So I think we, in partnership with Viafoura, could do a better job of the auto moderation of some spam comments and then removing accounts accordingly or banning accounts as needed.

"Seamless Setup, Engaging Insights"
What do you like best about Viafoura?

I appreciate Viafoura because the extension is easy to use, and their team made it incredibly easy to set things up. The whole process, from kickoff to onboarding and the QA process, was very organized. As a project manager, it’s nice to have a partner who is organized, making it clear what our team needs to do to get different functions live. The instructions they provided to our dev team were straightforward, and they gave us a comprehensive timeline to follow. They were also quick to support us whenever we had questions. Overall, my experience has been great, and I would rate it 10/10, definitely recommending it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great tool for building online engagement"
What do you like best about Viafoura?

We have been working with Viafoura since 2023, and we were able to implement their tools on our websites with minimal time and effort, and the Viafoura team supported us throughout the process. Our team has been collaborating with Laura, who is always quick to respond to any questions we have and stays updated on the work our development team is doing. This allows her to offer helpful suggestions on how we can make the most of Viafoura in the future. Additionally, the development team has assisted us in resolving some coding issues we encountered with the platform. All in all, this is a wonderful product and has helped grow our online community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viafoura?

The Viafoura admin panel can be somewhat confusing to navigate. I don't use it frequently, but whenever I do, I find myself needing to re-familiarize myself with where different options are, like the Site Settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Engages Subscribers with Room for Moderation Improvement"
What do you like best about Viafoura?

I like that Viafoura appears to be working as a value generator or churn reducer for subscribers. I appreciate that it has some AI features to help with moderation. I also like that our Terms of Service with Viafoura and users allows us to reach out to commenters for the purpose of journalism or reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viafoura?

I want better moderation from the AI tool. Fewer false positives. A better way to greenlight certain terms (or to ban them). I would like some Slack integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Work With—Account Manager Went Above and Beyond"
What do you like best about Viafoura?

Working with Viafoura was easy our account manager made sure we always had what we needed at all times and went above and beyond to help with our timelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viafoura?

In a world with tons of third party services this is another one to implement. Viafoura has a pretty good product and as a developer it wasn't difficult to setup at all, its just another thing to maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Building our commenting community"
What do you like best about Viafoura?

I like that it makes it easier for us to monitor comments on our website a and see what topics our communities are most engaged with. I also like that we can engage with our community in a more interactive way through the polls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viafoura?

I wish that we could personalise things more to our sites needs, but with the things we've wanted to change so far, more poll options for example, they have been very responsive to our requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to help you build your digital community.

"Effortless Installation and Integration"
What do you like best about Viafoura?

I found the Viafoura module easy to install, which made transitioning from our past provider smooth. Its integration with our authentication platform was straightforward and hassle-free. I also appreciate the customization options and the capability to integrate seamlessly. The notification tray is a standout feature in engaging with our users effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viafoura?

The engagement starter and the polls need some improvement, specifically the capability to use stand-alone polls independent from the engagement starter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stephanie Laughlin of Viafoura

Thank you for your feedback, Alberto! We're glad you're liking the notification tray.

What do you like best about Viafoura?

Honestly, not much I dislike...maybe just that it could offer a few more customization options? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Building our Digital Community"
What do you like best about Viafoura?

Viafoura has been instrumental in helping us build a more engaged and respectful community. Since launching earlier this year, we’ve seen a 139% increase in articles that receive comments, keeping readers on our platform longer and encouraging return visits. Their automoderation tool has reduced manual comment reviews by 75%, significantly easing the load on our moderation team. The platform is intuitive, and their team has been responsive and supportive throughout our partnership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viafoura?

Some documentation needs to be updated - we ran into a few scenarios where we followed the documentation steps, but then needed to go a different route per our Viafoura team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
