Considered Both Products
Influitive
Chose Influitive
Influitive had better metrics, ease of use and more functionality.

We have also had a better experience with Influitive's support and CSM partnership
Chose Influitive
I'm biased because I learned about Influitive from a webinar before ever using it and was absolutely wowed by the product. During the initial research, Influitive always had a more robust offering and better reviews.
Chose Influitive
We didn't evaluate any other vendors, having been recommended to speak to Influitive.
Chose Influitive
The challenges were a big factor in our decision. We wanted to have a place users could consume and contribute, and not just browsing articles and moving on. We wanted them to be able to interact with the content, and each other. Many community platforms are just forums. We …
Chose Influitive
inSided doesn’t offer rewards but has a much better end-user interface. I’ve got to demo what the backend looks yet.
Chose Influitive
Khoros Communities, in my opinion, isn't set up to host a customer advocacy program, as it's lacking key aspects that Influitive offers (e.g. ability to easily share information with advocates, advanced gamification, etc.) It's much better, however, for a discussion-based …
Chose Influitive
Influitive has much better technology and functionality.
Chose Influitive
Influitive is the only platform I have used.
Chose Influitive
Influitive was in place before I joined the company
Chose Influitive
Influitive is a much easier way to maintain the community than using GitHub, Slack or Discord. It helps us build up the brand. Using Github, Slack and Discord won't help us build the brand since we cannot put our language and logo there. Using Github is a little too complex for …
Chose Influitive
I think that Influitive has been an amazing app and the fact that they acquired PostBeyond shows that they have teeth in the game and are expanding their grasp on the customer retention and advocacy market. This app has really flourished and will continue to do for the time …
Chose Influitive
Unfortunately, having not used other similar products, I cannot indicate how Influitive differs or is better than similar products. In my case, the software was suggested to me by colleagues. Since I have no other knowledge about similar software at the moment, I accepted the …
Chose Influitive
I was not involved in the process to choose Influitive but since using it I feel that it is the best customer advocacy platform :)
Chose Influitive
I was not a part of the purchasing decisions for Influitive so I cannot speak to this. I have seen demos, however, and it seems that Influitive is a leader in the space.
Chose Influitive
Vanilla is great for forums, but they don't have the gamification/challenges piece that is so important toward building advocacy.
I've found a similar circumstance with Salesforce communities--good if you're looking primarily for crowdsourced tech support and QA, but nothing …
Chose Influitive
Our community was originally based out of Slack. As our customer community grew, it was essential that we create a space for the community to prosper. We chose Influitive since it had both the advocacy and community portions built-in together. Slack was not able to host the …
Chose Influitive
I was not involved in the product selection of Influitive.
Chose Influitive
We vetted other programs before choosing Influitive. We were most impressed with the flexibility of Influitive and feel we made the right decision.
Chose Influitive
Facebook was very limited in how we were able to track customer suggestions, questions, and feedback. Influitive has ways you can measure your data that really tells us how we are doing with our customers.
Chose Influitive
It's simple to use and we have used it for years. I don't feel like having a strong drive to shift the platform.
Ventaforce
Chose Ventaforce
1) Ventaforce solved the problem of my Payout calculations which is very important in MLM business
2) It delivered a speedy website & software
3) It made easy system of product dispatch

We have seen success with information sharing. Giving customers another way to access our resources has been a huge help for them. While we see good engagement numbers there are still some limitations to getting our advocates to complete the 'harder' challenges, like a testimonial or reference

I would like to draw attention to their exceptional domain expertise, which is a valuable asset. They possess a plethora of powerful features that can undoubtedly enhance any business. Furthermore, their team provided thorough support in selecting a compensation plan that would maximize my business's potential.

Pros
  • It gives us the opportunity to share valuable content with our users. (e.g. first looks at e-books, white papers, announcements of webinars, etc.)
  • It allows us to easily collect feedback and insights from our community members through a variety of activity types.
  • It makes it simple for us to reward our customers for helping each other, and our org, through a rewards store that easily connects to an outside vendor.

Cons
  • Challenge Digest- I would really like to have the digest have a little more functionality. Such as being able to move around the challenges, maybe move them to the top rather than the bottom.
  • The challenge image/the channel image- This is a feature I would really like to have more user-friendly, especially the crop feature. This feature is not very easy to use, so I have to go to another platform to re-size it. It would be so much easier if I could do this all within Influitive.
  • Sign In Page Profile Fields- I would like to be able to easily rearrange the fields rather than needing to reach out to support so that they can update on their end. While I appreciate that they can do this, it would be easier and faster if I could have the ability to do it myself.
  • Support-is AMAZING! But it would be great if they were more ways that an admin could be able to tweak certain pages rather than waiting till the engineering has time to update. I work on a tight timeline and it's hard to go back to the stakeholders and inform them that what they want can't be handled right away. Again I completely understand that other companies also have urgent requests, but if the admin had more capabilities then we wouldn't have to go to support as much.

  • Some critics argued that it is costlier than old version.
  • Now I feel that it is not wrong to pay a slightly higher amount for a superior product rather than settling down with a sub-optimal outcome.
  • Country wise Payout calculation is challenging for us But you opt for multi currency integration as an add on which solves this problem very effectively.

I really like working with Influitive and with AdvocateHub. Their support staff is awesome and everyone I have come into contact with at the company has been friendly and supportive. Their corporate interactions with customers model their product philosophy incredibly well. I am very satisfied and trust in their attention to me as a customer.

Usability
Overall, Influitive is very easy to use for customers. There's a bit of a learning curve for new admins, but that's only because Influitive isn't always intuitive. The UI is confusing in certain places. I expect something to be in one place, and I find it somewhere else entirely. This is the only reason my usability rank isn't higher

Reliability and Availability
Yes, always available and extremely quick. The availability is 10 on 10 for sure. We also have situations where their team might not be working or on a holiday, but if we have an event, they are available and ensure smooth running. That is the beauty of having Influitive take care of you.

Performance
Influitive AdvocateHub interacts with Blackbaud Champions and is an on-time response system. What I mean by that is once data is entered in Influitive AdvocateHub, it is updated in real time and I can access a computer and the data is there immediately. Sometimes the rewards do not show up right away and I am under the assumption that the delay is caused by an influx of traffic.

Support Rating
I have never had an issue, small or large, that the Influitive support team hasn't taken seriously and given their attention to. Engagement with support is generally quick and painless. There is also a great user community that is monitored to some degree, and general questions are often already available there or answered in short order.

I was taught and made to show all features that could help me learn more about the platform and this was great hands-on training for me. I picked up things faster than others and did have time to create challenges and make changes while someone was around to supervise and help.

Online Training
The training was extensive and gave me the knowledge/ skills that I needed in order to implement my advocacy program using Influitive's Advocate Hub. I also meet on a regular basis with my Customer Success Manager. My Success Manager helps give me ideas for my program and helps me ensure that it's successful. Influitive is really invested in my success. They act more like a partner than a vendor

I think some of the key insights I can put forward are all aligned to simply being organized. Make sure you have a well thoughts out plan where you have taken all factors into account. Prioritize the list of deliverables, and make sure you have all the right people alighed to assist internally & externally. If you have a well organized plan you will be set up for success.

Return on Investment
  • Increased social proof is definitely a big one as this pertains specifically to my role. I've moved my program from collecting testimonials, case studies, success stories, etc. in a somewhat random, happen-stance way to primarily (90%) drawing from our Influitive members.
