Commune Overview

What is Commune?

Commune is an advocacy community platform that turns customers into advocates, and employees into enthusiasts. It's typically used by marketers to reduce CAC by increasing UGCs or by HR to improve turnover and employee performance. First released in 2019, we have supported 300+ clients such as Adobe, Kellogg's, Nissan, Panasonic, and Marugame Udon. We know how busy community managers are… At the same time, we believe the biggest KSF of the advocacy community is how much dedicated work is done. So, our focus is to reduce the workload of community managers and make it easier for community members to engage with the community simultaneously. Key Differentiators: - Gamification and incentives to turn community members into advocates A fully customizable challenges/rewards system encourages community members to engage with other community members, answer surveys, complete training, and post reviews on social media. - AI-powered community management: Leveraging data from millions of users from hundreds of communities, Commune's AI helps you run a successful community while reducing the workload by 10x. - The world's first mobile-first community platform: Commune is a mobile-first community platform with a native app and embedding in an existing app is available too. - All-in-one platform to engage community members: Points, Rewards, Surveys, E-learning, Livestreaming, custom pop-ups, push notifications...everything you need for engaging community members built-in.

What do you like best about Commune?

I recently utilized white labelling in my current company to create a community for our business partners and commission earners. The UI/UX and interface are easy to manage and navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Commune?

I believe the pricing section needs to be updated to be more customer-centric. The current process of booking a call and then receiving a quotation feels outdated. It should be more in line with other community apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Commune solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a large audience of entrepreneurs and business partners who work freelance and sell our digital products. Our customer support team needs to respond to their emails individually.

But now members are searching for details and seek assistance from senior entrepreneurs to network and help us grow our presence, all without the hassle of managing them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Commune?

Commune is a platform that makes the community active by promoting communications among users.

I use commune at the user community. Before using Commune, we used to utilize Slack and Facebook as a community platform. However, we had a profound issue in that users were less active, and the posts were mainly sent by the official.

Commune is capable of creating a mutual communication environment due to the simple and optimal post design, which evokes users’ response.

It is even possible to deliver the contents in accordance with the users’ purpose. For instance, flow contents such as temporary notifications or stock contents that can be read in a long term.

Moreover, we can also accumulate and analyze the data in order to plan for the next action.

As a whole, we highly recommend Commune as an effective communication tool for the communities that have problem communicating among users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Commune?

Commune is partly lacking efficiency in sending some messages directly to the user because the main use case of the service is the feed toward the posts. Specifically, we have to send a direct message to multiple users via the administration page, which is slightly inefficient. Therefore, at this point, we expect the further development of the service as a complete community platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Commune?

Commune is a great platform that provides a one-stop-shop for our customers -- they can access our FAQs, watch our training content, communicate with us directly, or chat with their peers, all in Commune. We've seen a clear uptick in users reaching out with questions once we released our community in Commune, which allows us to provide faster, better customer support to our users. We love the variety of options in Commune -- it's so nice to host ALL your content in one place, and even provide fun incentives for your users (e.g. challenges).

Commune is also very responsive to us, as customers, and has quickly responded to our inquiries and taken our feature requests seriously, which we appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Commune?

The admin side is a bit clunky, but users don't see this, so it's not as much of a concern (once you learn to navigate it, it's easy). I do wish there were more formatting features -- being able to pick our exact colors in text, change to specific fonts, or adjust image sizes in articles would be really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Commune solving and how is that benefiting you?

Commune solves the problem of needing several different platforms to host the content your users need. Everything is all in one place in Commune. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Commune?

・Features essential for community management, such as user-to-user chat rooms, events, surveys, a knowledge base for managing stock-type content, and user permission management.

・Ongoing product development and updates based on practical community management experiences allow us to focus on content creation by adopting Commune.

・Each feature can be built with no code, and design and layout changes are possible, enabling content improvement based on customer feedback.

・The features are versatile and adaptable to a wide range of use cases, with sufficient flexibility to meet different communities' specific characteristics and objectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Commune?

Improvements in Reaction UI to Posts

・I'd like the ability to limit the information displayed in reactions to posts based on login status or user permissions. For instance, it only shows the number of reactions without saying nicknames. This is particularly relevant in B2B communities where we might not want to display which users have reacted from the management side.

Improvements in Event Functionality

・Having the Web meeting URL visible only to those who pressed the participation button would be more precise from an organizer's and end-user's perspective.

・Like the breadcrumbs in chat rooms, displaying a transition to the event-specific posts in the notification emails sent to users for individual events would increase convenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Commune solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were concerned about the significant costs involved in developing our community platform. By adopting Commune, we could launch and start operating our community within a few months without worrying about specifications or development timelines.

The features in Commune are continuously evolving and improving, allowing us to focus on customer reactions and grow our community agilely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Commune?

You might think about cramming a community site with various features when you want to launch it. However, Commune framework shows you that's unnecessary. It teaches you to focus your efforts on enhancing the user experience. Moreover, using AI and other technologies minimizes the cost of improving this experience.

If you ever feel lost, you can access a site for community managers without additional fees and quickly seek advice.

Commune is the optimal solution if your goal is to take the most direct path to success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Commune?

Currently, it's not possible to post articles in a tabular format. For instance, to display a product popularity ranking (with rankings, product names, vote counts, and purchase numbers), you must use workarounds like attaching images that don't appear in product name searches. This is an area where I'm hoping for a feature update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Commune solving and how is that benefiting you?

By acquiring a platform that enhances customer experience, we've felt a deeper connection with our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Commune?

・The user-friendly UI is easy to navigate, even for those not proficient with computers, as it's free of unnecessary decorations and features.

・After release, we receive objective reports on metrics and strategy proposals, giving us a comprehensive overview. We can also consult on strategies at any time, which is reassuring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Commune?

・The management interface is somewhat challenging to use for us. Since it's primarily designed for PCs, quick interactions and urgent responses while on the go can not be easy, sometimes resulting in delayed responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Commune solving and how is that benefiting you?

・Commune enables us to understand our existing customers' behaviors, thoughts, and lifestyles outside the store, which is valuable for business operations. We plan to use this information for future product development and expand our store customer base.

・We can create opportunities to convey our intentions and directions directly, ensuring our information and products are accurately represented and communicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Commune?

・Compared to general social networks, there may still be room for improvement in terms of usability from the customers' perspective. (However, considering that people are still using it and it differentiates from typical social networks, this may not be a high priority.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Commune solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Commune?

I am very satisfied with their comprehensive support and the user-friendliness of their product. I genuinely appreciate their consistently constructive and empathetic suggestions.

The product UI is also fantastic, and I have been able to use it with hardly any need to refer to the support pages. For me, other CMS platforms were too feature-heavy and complex, but Commune focuses on functions that are truly valuable for users, and it has received positive feedback from our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Commune?

Despite the dedicated support we receive, our challenge is finding the time to manage the community effectively.

We are looking forward to enhancements in AI recommendations and personalization features based on community users' behavior and post data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Commune solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have successfully reduced our onboarding workload by tenfold.

There have been cases where the community led to successful deals, making it a topic of conversation within our industry.

Going forward, we aim to gain customer insights that can lead to improvements in our products and services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
