Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • We were looking to use a community software to give our customers a voice with a community built around of consumer electronics brand. We evaluated different community platforms but Tribe was the most comprehensive community platform. Personally, I like how customisable it is -- you can just mould it to adapt your brand guidelines and showcase the exact social elements on the community site. We could easily integrate it into our website and mobile app thanks to its powerful API and SDK.
  • The support team and customer success managers are the true experts at answering questions and will help you implement all kinds of useful great ideas. Here are the key pointers: - Straightforward setup and configuration - Relatively easy integration using the API - Simple functionality and easy to navigate through the admin panel - Cost effective compared to other products based on the available features - Dedicated and super responsive account managers
  • When we decided to migrate from an existing community solution, initially it seemed very challenging. However, Tribe team really made it fast and easy by having the right migration processes and tools. Their community success team was always available to handle issues and requests. What I liked very much about Tribe is the simplicity of their core platform that can be extended with different apps based on my community need. We got all these great solutions at a fraction of cost we used to spend on the previous platform.

Cons

  • The direct communication between users was not available. They claimed it’s already on the company’s roadmap. Can’t wait to have it activated for our community.
  • Some features were not working as expected at the beginning. However, the strong support team fixed the bugs in a very short time.
  • Tribe did not provide us with any mobile app but to be fair the messenger integration was a great replacement. Their idea that people do not want to just install another mobile app sounded reasonable.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • See below.
  • We completed their 14 day free trial. We liked many aspects of the offering and felt it offered a lot of customization to meet our needs and it was our intention to sign up for their service.
  • Crowdstack is a very easy to use platform. It provides great support to engage with customers and give you a manageable service to track their needs.

Cons

  • See overall.
  • Their pricing model is way too rigid. The Foundation plan for $399/mo offered nearly everything we were looking for. The only problem was that they use a lot of strange terms on their pages...fortunately, they offer a "custom wording" feature that allows you to change some of those words. Unfortunately, that was the only feature we required from the Complete plan, for which our custom pricing was offered at $999/mo. We didn't require any of the other features included with the Complete plan and couldn't justify $600/mo more for that plan just for the custom wording feature. We gave them several chances to offer a more reasonable pricing solution and win our business. Instead, they remained inflexible. Trust me, when a company that is trying to secure long-term subscriptions is this inflexible at the beginning, you don't want to work with them. Imagine months down the road when you have thousands of users and find out you need something from Crowdstack...how inflexible do you think they're going to be then? My recommendation is to find a more flexible community building solution, like Tribe or the many other community building solutions now available.
  • Overall its an outstanding platform customer engagement tool.
