## XenForo Reviews
  ### 1. Review for XenForo

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hassan A. | Relationship Manager Corporate Banking, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 17, 2022

**What do you like best about XenForo?**

I have found it fast and very simple to use. Its menus are quite simple and we have a lot of styles and extensions available. Managing users, assigning roles and its moderation tools are impressive.

**What do you dislike about XenForo?**

One of the factors I have disliked is its cost, the complete package may cost over 600$, which I think is a bit expensive. The other factor is that it has only been restricted to MySQL system.

**What problems is XenForo solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have been using it for our gam's forum. It has provided a bunch of handle tools in our hands to make out forum more interactive with styling. I find it very easy to manage users, post threads, and grant restricted access/ permissions as per user categories and moderation units. Its administration tool is very easy to use. Its alert option is very handy, I can send alerts on the forum or email the users any important information in one go which is quite a good feature.

  ### 3. Xenforo, Best Forum Script?

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Morty B. | Digital Marketer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 16, 2019

**What do you like best about XenForo?**

Note: I am no longer using XenForo. I sold my forum 2 months ago which runs on XenForo.

XenForo is fast and efficient. A lot of plugins like Vbulletin (since VB devs created it) and more secure for me. A lot of customizations compared to other forum scripts.

Community is great, a lot of tutorials to better make your forum better. Cannot comment regarding support since I have not contacted support once and just relied with the community when asking questions and also the abundant tutorials available online.

**What do you dislike about XenForo?**

Price. Compared to SMF (free) which is still good. But XenForo is faster and more responsive.

**Recommendations to others considering XenForo:**

For a paid forum script XenForo is the best. Community is massive. Tutorials are scattered on the web. Themes and plugins are more abundant.

**What problems is XenForo solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Faster and better and lighter forum website script with more plugins, themes and customizations.
