We are using Mighty Networks to host community discussions, contests, and blog posts. Every step of setup has been seamless, and it has been a great experience for our members migrating from a Facebook group.
Pros
Easy setup and true self-contained, branded social network features for community creators
Cons
Would like more custom field options under user profile settings
Thanks Justin! We're happy to hear that you found the setup seamless and that it's been a great solution for migrating your members from a Facebook Group.

Pros
In a matter of weeks we were ready to launch our new community with several existing online courses moved over. Producing content is very easy. To get everything in one was very valuable for us - course platform with payed or free courses, enrolment and drip feed as well as a community platform with the ability to interact with other members. Available as apple and android app, our members can all of the sudden access their courses from their phone, without us having to develop and maintain two apps ourselves. Huge.
Cons
There are still features that we are hoping will get there. Like more drip feed settings and the ability to give a member access to a whole course at once even if it's drip fed to mention two. But we have made it work with existing features and the value largely overcomes some details we hope will be available in the future.
So glad to hear that this has been a successful transition for you Eva, and that you and your members are taking advantage of the native mobile apps. We look forward to continuing to support you with more upgrades to features in the future!

Frustrating to use. If the platform I joined it for didn't offer such valuable content for me I'd have deleted it from my phone
Pros
To be honest there isn't really very much at all that I like about this software. I use it because a network that I am part of is housed there and that is the only reason. I guess it is an alternative for people who don'T want to host a Facebook Group
Cons
It's really hard to keep an overview of what's going on so you easily miss information or can't find it when you need it, especially if it's further back inthe archieves. It may offer advantages for the platforms who are hosting there but I don'T find it user friendly at all
Sorry to hear you've had a hard time finding your way in the community you're a part of. It does take some members time to get used to navigating a Mighty Network but most do pick it up and find it's easy to move around and get access to what they're most interested in by following the Topics they want to hear about, joining relevant Groups, checking out the Featured Section, and using email and mobile notifications to check in regularly. We also offer a really robust Search function. Please let us know if there's any specific feedback you have about how to make it clearer to find your way around.

So my comment above about using the group structure is the main business benefit. I really don't think anyone else offers it. So that has been pivotal.
Pros
The main feature for me is I have the courses and the community in one place. My classes require that I have a series of groups with say 20 students. But I have 15 of them. Each group posts to their own group and interacts with that group throughout the course. Each member can go and see what other groups are doing if they are curious. But they specifically work within a small group. I do not thing any other platform allows that. Also I deal with an older demographic and I did not want to use facebook, and I wanted the teaching platform and the groups all in one place. That has been invaluable.
Cons
So I am not very good with tech. And I found for myself that I was confused about setting it up. I also think I was sort of pushing the envelope in terms of my group structure so it was not a straight forward situation. But I got good support. And now it is all simple. Because I have a lot of retirement aged students I think they have issues with the tech too. But they have problems with zoom calls too so who knows. My needs are pretty striped down other than the groups and course platform. So there are lots of features I have never used.
Thanks for this detailed feedback Ian! We're glad you've found benefit in the ability to combine your courses with community and break out different cohort groups. We look forward to you getting more benefit from the other features as you grow with the platform!

It works great! Fluid, functional, and reliable!
Pros
MN is the product that enabled us to do what we were good at doing, at scale! The team behind MN wanted and fought for our success to make community coaching at scale feasible, exciting, and affordable. If you are a coach or community builder there is no better first party platform than Mighty Networks!
Cons
They were a little slow at getting some features off the ground but the wait was worth it!
Thanks Zac! We love having Youth Ministry Booster on the Mighty Networks platform. We appreciate all you do for your community.
