HA Hassan A. Relationship Manager Corporate Banking Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/17/2022 "Review for XenForo" 4.5/5 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Digital Marketer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/16/2019 "Xenforo, Best Forum Script?" 4.5/5 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about XenForo? Price. Compared to SMF (free) which is still good. But XenForo is faster and more responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
