"Useful service for engaging with readers"
4/5

I don't think there are any major drawbacks, it's a good tool to improve engagement. You will see better results if you focus more on the tool and engagement. The moderation tool could maybe be improved a bit more, but that's work in progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Focused on getting readers engaged!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Viafoura?

We've only had some of the features offered to our readers for a few weeks now, and both the newsroom and readers are enjoying the benefits. We're seeing a lot of engagement by readers in the Comments. Installation was easy, and we could customize the look of the features to match our branding in all cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viafoura?

A little bit of the administration still has to be done by Viafoura, but only a little bit. And I wish Viafoura could distinguish registered users from subscribers so we could fine-tune the access to some components better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Dalia Vainer of Viafoura

Hey Mark! Thanks for the wonderful review, this made us blush! It's awesome to hear that our features have been a hit with your readers and newsroom—engagement in the Comments is soaring, and customizing the look to match your branding is a win!

"Best community engagement in the media space!"
5/5
What do you like best about Viafoura?

Aside from Dave being such a huge help in our setup and always communicating effectively, I just am super happy with the features in the Viafoura stack. Our app is our most integral part of our content offering, and Viafoura lets us bring our community's voice into our app. We have some of the best engagement in the world on social media, and Viafoura helps us bring that into our website and app. Its basically turns what is traditionally a read-only platform, into its own social media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viafoura?

Nothing I dislike per-se. It has taken us almost 6 months to get this integrated into our website an app fully. But that is not Viafoura's fault. It mainly is our developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe some of the APIs here - https://documentation.viafoura.com/reference/post_site-id-account-password - may need revisiting, and maybe give a clearer description about what it does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A partnership much appreciated by our teams and our users !"
5/5
What do you like best about Viafoura?

Our custom success manager (Dave) is always available (regular exchanges by email and Slack, monthly meeting), even though we are not in the same time zone. As soon as a bug or an issue is reported by our teams or by our users, he is very responsive to resolve our problems.

Thanks to Dave's help and his market knowledge, we were able to carry out several important projects for our site this year, such as GDPR compliance, improvement of loading time and web performance as well as a pilot project to expand our logged community with our comment section.

The comment section enabled by ViaFoura has become essential for our site and is used on a daily basis by our users. The features offered by ViaFoura such as the active conversations thread are also very appreciated by our community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viafoura?

We are experiencing compatibility issues with Firefox, which no longer allows ViaFoura to load on our site.

We sometimes encounter bugs on active conversations or with the users notification system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Dalia Vainer of Viafoura

Hi Elise, thank you from the full team for the perfect score! We are proud of Dave's commitment to your teams' success, and kudos on the successful projects! We are so excited for what's to come.
