"Building our Digital Community"
4/5
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.

"A great way to accelerate community building."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Viafoura?

The great thing about Viafoura is the team and the support you get. They help instill best practices for community building and, most importantly, they help to build a playbook to encourage engagement and adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viafoura?

As with any pre-existing platform Viafoura has a semi-rigid set of integration opportunities, so if you have particularly unique integration needs then you may be better off augmenting Viafoura's features with CDP-type tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Experience and Excellent Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Viafoura?

What I like best about ViaFoura is how seamless and well-supported the entire experience has been. The platform itself is user-friendly and reliable, but what truly sets it apart is the team behind it, especially Laura, our Growth Customer Experience Manager. Her communication is always clear and organized, and she genuinely makes us feel supported every step of the way. The proactive follow-ups, both during onboarding and post-launch, have made a big difference. Plus, the moderation tools help ensure our community feels safe and well-managed, which is incredibly important to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viafoura?

What I’ve found most challenging with ViaFoura hasn’t been the platform itself, but rather the internal development work required on our end to fully implement and integrate it. While ViaFoura’s team was supportive and communicative throughout, we did run into a few technical hurdles that took more internal resources and coordination than initially expected.

They are clear and correct about ease of implementation, ease of use, their own feature roadmaps and how we might improve the efficacy of our reader engagement strategies. A real partner.

What do you dislike about Viafoura?

I don't have any feedback about downsides. Where there is a product wish or a business hurdle we are trying to solve I trust that Viafoura and we will find a better road together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
