## Reviews

### "HL Community Platform engages members and aids committee work" — 5.0/5

> **Kimberly** | *7 November 2018* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use for Open Forum communications is great&#10;We have used extensively in our governance and it really organized and standardized our committee work.&#10;Ability to integrate with Abila product&#10;Abiilty to aid our chapters
> 
> **Cons**: I wish the libraries were easier to use - like Windows Explorer (does that show I'm old and not yet used to Sharepoint?)&#10;Wish you could duplicate "events" in the calendar like committee meetings.&#10;Wish the libraries were like google docs/share point and could be worked on collaboratively.
> 
> HL community allows our members to engage each other across the country - and across generations (we've actually had posts from members in their 80s and 90s - so you know the ease of use is there\!)&#10;HL community also allows us better communications and project organization.  (the competing product we use in this is Board BookIt.)

### "\#1 for a reason" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *18 February 2020* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It shows that they use their longevity and experience to improve their products based on user and client feedback.
> 
> **Cons**: As a single product user, it sometimes feels as if our needs are not as urgent (bug fixes, improvements).
> 
> The addition of the HL community has  been a great service and value to our members. Pros definitely outweigh the cons.

### "They're going to need a while to iron out the bugs." — 2.0/5

> **Barbra** | *3 January 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I am submitting this review to deal primarily with the design aspects of the platform. I haven't gotten to the point where I can comment on the application itself.
> 
> **Cons**: In short, at this time the design interface is pretty bad. It's cumbersome at best, you have to jump to different areas of the interface to edit a single page. Despite it being based on the Bootstrap system, it is a terrible bastardization that does not allow even a full-width image to be displayed in a hero, you can't go wider than 1200px, so it looks awful on most desktops. This, I am told, is a known issue going back MONTHS.
> 
> The sales team is great, they promise the world. It seems to rapidly fall apart after that. I've just now spent half an hour on a tech chat simply trying to get a URL for an image uploaded to the site. I finally just used the Inspect feature in the browser to get my own answer.

### "Rethinking our entire structure" — 5.0/5

> **Mhari** | *19 November 2019* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how easily configurable this platform is and how extensively I am able to customize our brand through customization. We chose to integrate directly using  activity sync and I am excited to see how these two products are able to work in tandem to drive behaviors and engagement.
> 
> **Cons**: Lack of localization. As a global organization of 1.2 million members in over 180 countries, we support multiple languages (including English, Italian, Spanish, Korean, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish). No being able to provide the platform in multiple languages gates off members that we would otherwise like to engage.
> 
> I learned I have no unique questions\! But the great news is that the community really comes together to share their experiences and answers. Every question I've had I found answers on HUG.

### "Great communities, so-so CMS" — 4.0/5

> **Sarah** | *2 February 2022* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Higher Logic is great for communities and directories. There's lots of automation that makes contacting members and keeping everyone up to date on things very easy. The communities make it easy for members across the globe to communicate daily, sharing the latest information, tips and tricks.
> 
> **Cons**: The content management system/website portion is not as powerful or customizable (without serious HTML/coding experience) as other web platforms out there.
> 
> All of our communities and directories are hosted on Higher Logic. It functions smoothly with our wordpress website, as well as our integration with MemberClicks.
