Pros

What I love most is that this is a true solution to having my own native app without spending 50k to hundreds of thousands to have something that is completely my own.
All of our members who have joined our app since launching have said that they love the app more than Facebook. They love the clean and user friendly interface.
I think the organization of this software is great, its clean, straight to the point and its user friendly.

Pros

It's providing very optimistic and useful features like Facebook and other social media platform.
Great company to partner with. Extremely responsive and supportive.
The monthly sessions with our customer success manager [SENSITIVE CONTENT] are very nice for getting additional support in terms of developing and expanding the community.

Cons

We were very frustrated with the user experience of Facebook groups and felt very limited by Facebook's rules.
Many times renewals get rejected in stripe which makes it frustrating for admins and members.
The inability to have banner feeds for users to see when promoting.

Cons

They also have the insensitivity of not informing what their list price is, many of the clients probably don't even know that they use drupal, an opensource software.
For open source/self hosted version there are many features missing.
Although open social works on Drupal (which is an open source CRM) it's not that easy to get off the beaten track.

Overall it a different option for users to find communities, resources, and information.

Pros

it is a great platform, similar to a social media platform but more intentional and great for a variety of communities, campaigns, and research.

Cons

I did not run into anything I did not like about this software. It has great reviews and that is why I tried it out.

It's Okay, But Could Be More

Reviewed 8 months ago

We have found it seems to be limited, or not enough when we have tried to do extra things. Other platforms offer more to the admin users to engage with users, with extra tools. Disciple does not seem to be there yet.

Pros

We like having a separate platform to have a community gather outside of big social media platforms. Being able to promote our own products to our users.

Cons

The inability to have banner feeds for users to see when promoting. Notifications seem to be sent to users but are not available when they come into the platform web or mobile

Excellent. I have had no hitches with the software and the support has always been great. They are always looking to improve and always help with tweaking my app.

Pros

It worked straight away and I could see what I was getting before I locked in by looking at other apps on the Disciple platform. I needed something with Push notifications and Disciple delivered.

Cons

As far as a social platform goes it is not quite as good as the likes of Twitter and Facebook but that is to be expected. The CMS took a little while to learn but it didn't take long to get to know it.

User friendly, open to ideas

Reviewed 2 years ago

I feel like I am part of them, not just some regular customer. They have become my friends!

Pros

It is incredibly easy to use so anyone, no matter their experience, can dive right in. Plus they offer incredible training and will help you along the way.

Cons

I have honestly not come across anything I don't like. If there is a feature missing they are open to add it. They really want to work with you to make their platform the best it can be.
