Love the customizations available especially through CSS overrides and the ability to turn certain features on or off (ie chat).
The mobile app isn't customizable like the website it.

This is less about the software which works great but we really pushed the team/software with our custom integrations. The team is responsive and talented. Patient and knowledgeable!
Some of the features could be more intuitive and posting functionalities could mirror the larger social networks since many users compare that funtion to them (LinkedIn, etc.).
Hi Kimberly, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We aim to have the most flexible platform on the market, so the fact that you're pleased with the custom integrations we successfully implemented means the world to the Axero team.

Communifire is a good portal engine. It has a lot of power and it allows us to communicate effectively with our employees. It gives a professional look and feel which gives employees confidence in the company.
The software is a bit expensive. There is a lot of value, but I'm not convinced it's enough to justify the cost.
Hi Richard, thank you for your review! We're glad Communifire is delivering strong communication and branding. Our platform has a lot to offer and we want to make sure you take advantage of all of it. Our Support is here to assist with any questions.

- Program comes generally ready to use with different widgets to customize each space - Allows for integration with Microsoft platform for connection to One Drive - Easy to navigate platform which offers easy permission setup
- Sharing documents via email is not possible - Must download before adding as attachment - Would like to see more widgets available to work from. Has many available, but some are too generic for our use.
Thank you for the feedback, Jim! I am sharing your comments with our development team. Feel free to share more feedback in our Suggestion forum. We want your experience to be as seamless as possible and always look for ways to improve functionality.

Super professional and helpful!
Just like a website, pages can be built however you'd like and can be as detailed or as simple as you need.
There is a learning curb at first and can seem overwhelming. However, the extensive library of help videos and great on-demand customer service can answer virtually all questions within minutes.
Hi Tara, I'm happy to hear that Axero's flexibility is working for your organization. As you highlighted, our resource library and Client Success team are always here to help. Please reach out to us if you have any questions. Sincerely, Alex, Axero Marketing Manager

My overall experience is, We have been to some degree effective at dispatching Communifire to our customers as an information base, however it for the most part gets utilized for interior preparing and as an asset.
The out-of-the-crate highlights are truly extraordinary and achieve a great deal of what we were keen on for an intranet arrangement. It has additionally consistently been not difficult to get support for the item when required.
The utilization of symbolism on the principle merry go round must be an exact size or its cover by text or not shown. We have an iframe that we attempt to eliminate flat looking over and nobody is by all accounts ready to fix it. CSS can be an aggravation.

1. Modern look-and-feel 2. Easy to use without any steep learning curve 3. Brilliant customer support 4. Flexible and easily customisable: Their PageBuilder is one of the most advanced page editors we have seen. 5. One of the best "search feature" of all the platforms we compared
1. No Google Docs integration yet (though the company says it will be there in 2017 release) 2. Features like Single Sing On should be a part of base module, we were charged extra for it 3. No Windows Mobile App yet.

overall its a good product and does its job.
Product is fairly easy to use, document storage is one of the most important features that we use.
Social colaboration tools arent great, we have low use among employees.
Hi Justin, thank you for your review! While we're thrilled file storage and ease of use is working well, we'd love to improve your adoption. Please reach out to support. We will share best tips and practices that work for your unique teams and will help you make the most of your intranet.

We selected Communifire after evaluating several other options such as Jive. Expensive does not mean it is the best. And Communifire does not disappoint. It is packed with features including gamification. It has all the SaaS capabilities and benefits you'd expect. And their implementation support and customer service are top notch. Cheers.
Rich features, ready-to-use templates, excellent customer support, solid search engine, affordable pricing.
Administration and setup can be overwhelming due to so many features. A wizard-based configuration for the initial setup and other advanced features would be helpful.
Thanks for your review, James. We appreciate your business.

The ability to customize and its ease of use. It fairly easy to teach others to use it and they usually like the layout which is important when you first show your collegues their new platform of communication.
There are some functionality which should be available but isnt. Its very important to make a platform like this blend in with the rest of the company software. And also to make visually appealing there should be available default images to use for posts. Like the icons that already exists but a bigger version for the "carddeck" function for instance. Also Calendar sync. with outlook would be great otherwise nobody is going to use the calendar. @mention people should be possible everywhere. Online live collaboration on word docs (google docs) would be nice. Permissions should be faster to set up, especially for files (isnt there any better way to set permissions then going through every folder?)

Overall great product, with good functionality for directory and reporting chain
Good options on site customization Robust API
The customers have the option to customize, but it takes way too much work for the customer to customize the API call to update the site with data updates. The amount of time for turnaround time to add new features and functionality can be improved.
Hi Sangeetha, Thank you for the feedback! We're thrilled that you're getting the most out of our REST APIs, reporting, and employee directory features.

We're very happy with Communifire. It gives us everything we need.
Branding was really important to us and Communifire was the only product that gave us complete branding control over our site.
Intranet software isn't perfect, in general. To administer, there is some technical expertise needed but nothing insurmountable. It is the nature of the solution.

It's reletively easy to use and navigate and allows us to quickly update our company on new events.
File sharing is extemely basic and no options for sharing files outside of our company means needing to use separate cloud services for that. Also, the version control is almost non-existant. It's pretty basic.

I have been using Communifire for the past 6 months and it has helped streamline communication and collaboration at various touchpoints within my business. Here are the list of Pros I could identify... 1) Very easy to use. If you know Facebook, navigating Communifire would be a breeze. 2) Covers almost all aspects of communication in a structured and seamless manner. 3) Allows the creation of teams and topics which allow me to collate and find important pieces of information which are otherwise scattered when using emails. 4) Inexpensive compared to other leading solutions. Flexible plans incorporating pay-as-you-go for small to large team sizes. 5) Highly customizable and does not require the help of expensive third party implementers.

We have been somewhat successful at launching Communifire to our clients as a knowledge base, but it mainly gets used for internal training and as a resource.
The feature to create sub folders and to organize the articles in very specific way is very helpful.
It can be difficult to write articles, having to import images and format content can take a considerable amount of time and effort.

It has a nice blend of feature/functions like Lithium and Jive without the price tag.
It's pretty easy to use -- the set up was fairly painless. I like the pagebuilder function, ease of publishing.
I'd like to see some functionality and features suited for external use (ex. more granular user settings, better notification experience; more admin controls/layers; better mobile capability like edit profile) -- access to more analytics out for the box. True SSO using LinkedIn.

This software is very customizable, which has been great for our organization. I cannot say enough good things about customer support! They are knowledgeable, quick at answering questions and finding solutions. They are also awesome at helping us customize the site!
As we customize a lot when there are updates we usually have errors we need to go back and identify.

We evaluated Jive, Yammer, and Sharepoint for our intranet. Then we found Communifire (and we are happy we did.) It's right up there with the top enterprise level social business software on the market. Their team is very responsive and seems like they actually care about their customers.
The software has tons and tons of features but it's still very easy to get started. It's very intuitive. If you use facebook or twitter or wordpress you will be an expert with Communifire. It's also extremely flexible.
They need to do more marketing. It was hard to find them.

I could't think of any better tool that can help us achieve our goals of collaboration through knowledge sharing. Not only is Communifire easy-to-use, it is packed with incredibly useful social interaction features that makes it more than just a document management tool. While the product is great, the best part about Communifire is the people we work with! You can expect only the best level of support from the Axero team. They're not just solution-oriented, they're people-oriented!

We have been using Communifire as our intranet. We like the product, specially the user interface and the flexibility it offers.
Good UI, easy to use, feature rich, very friendly and prompt customer support. This product has most of the features of Jive but is much more cost effective.
Some localization related bugs, does not have in-built conferencing solution yet.
