It is an extensive database filled with valuable information. Discourse is user-friendly and facilitates open discussions in a forum-style format. It offers significant customization options, allowing the creation of various topics and categories, while also monitoring user engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Although tagging and searching typically lead me to the information I need, there often appears to be duplicate content, making it difficult to identify the 'newest' or 'validated' answers. Additionally, the notifications occasionally do not function correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Discourse is very easy to use and very user friendly. One think I like the most about it is the batches and awards that can be assigned to top contributors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing much to dislike here as I really love the product. Their enterprise plans can be a little pricey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We chose Discourse about five years ago because we wanted to create a place for an in-depth conversation about new research that was coming out in occupational therapy. And it has delivered! I am consistently amazed by the quality of conversation that the platform fosters.
The added bonus has been all of the customization options on the platform. This has allowed us to roll out new tools we did not anticipate initially. The best surprise was when they recently updated the layout to prioritze sidebar navigation-it gave the platform a freshness to rival other social platforms! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing to be aware of with Discourse is that it gives a lot of flexibility, but we've had to leverage a developer to capitalize on creating our more advanced tools. Overall, we've been pleased with this tradeoff though! And, luckily, Discourse really does provide amazing support for more complex projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have worked with a number of all inclusive, expensive, enterprise level community platforms. I was unaware of Discourse until my last job.
I was really impressed by the flexibility and opensource nature of the product. The pricing is great which makes this a viable option for SMD level businesses.
The leadership and support folks are amazing. They are very responsive and really do care about their customers.
I really liked that support tries to resolve issues if they are simple instead of just pushing me to open a professional services ticket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UX is pretty basic. If you want some really unique experience or functionality you need to go custom which can be a big project.
There are limited out of the box plugins but I believe they are adding as they work on customizations so that makes integrations with your other systems more likely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Discourse is quite a robust platform, and depending on how the company uses and organises it, it can be quite overwhelming. Fortunately, they have a fantastic bot that teaches you the basics and get you up-to-speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a huge database of valuable information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's not the most intuitive tool to use. While tagging and searching usually get me to where I want to go, there seems to always be duplicate information and no way to determine which is the 'newest' or 'validated' answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
