What do you like best about Forj?

The best part about it is that it pretty much caters for most of the necessary needs easily in an organisation especially when it comes to members mobilization and there's not need to look for an external application or software to do tasks like sending multiple emails at once and making integrated announcements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forj?

There isn't anything I dislike about Mobilize at the moment as it has been serving me the best already, but what could be added to make it a more comprehensive members engagement tool is probably by adding meeting management system like creating one and using it for live meeting sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Forj:

Mobilize is a user-friendly and a very powerful tool for community management and it definitely worth a try! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In these hard times (COVID-19 lockdown period) especially, Mobilize has been very helpful, flexible and very reliable for virtual event managements (promotions and announcements) and members mobilization. It is by far one of the best and powerful tool. I think the benefit that I find most impactful is the fact that it allows an organisation to create sub-pages for chapters and the best part about it is that it also allow members to network and communicate with anyone from the main community group.

What do you like best about Forj?

Its very user friendly and the UI and UX I think are really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a large group who wanted an easy and simple platform to use for communications. We've been successful with that. Some group members who are less active in the group tend to ignore all notifications so engagement has dropped off with less frequent use. As a stand alone app, not much we can do about that. Also, our group is not super active these days and is also volunteer based so it makes sense engagement has dipped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Forj?

We are a diverse community of people wanting to share resources, ideas and encouragement. The clear and attractive user interface of Mobilize has meant it's been easy for everyone to pick up and start using. Discussion threads are easy to follow and it's helpful that you can tag people in your posts and comments. Events have been great for letting everyone know about potentially useful training and seminars coming up. We have also made good use of the ability to upload and share files and resources with each other. The fact the people can interact via email or mobile app if they wish have been hugely helpful for being able to include both those who use technology a lot and those who don't.

Having looked at other potential platforms, one of the things that also won us over to Mobilize was the level of privacy. Various members of our community were concerned about this for various reason but all felt happy with the level of privacy offered to them when using this platform.

In terms of managing the community, we really appreciated the ability to customise so much of our on-boarding process, and it's been invaluable to be able to assign some folk to the various community moderation and management roles to support the development of the community in a sustainable way.

We were also delighted with the support we were given, even before we signed up to Mobilize. The team have been beyond helpful at answering all our questions, so we could be sure this was the tool for us.

Especially during this period of lockdown, it has been invaluable at better connecting people from all across our area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forj?

So far, I genuinely don't have any downsides for how we've been using Mobilize. It has met all our needs so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Forj:

The team offer demos and I found it very helpful to be able to chat to one of them before we signed up; they were able to answer all my questions in person about how the tool might suit our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have been able to bring together a diverse group of people from across a fairly wide geographical area. Mobilize is not only helping us to find a way of communicating with those we already know, it's helping to draw in others and build relationship between people too. It has helped all of us to react promptly and well during these extremely difficult times as the pandemic has hit our area so we can best support those we are serving. We are looking forward to how the tool will continue to help inspire and resource all of us during this time of lockdown and beyond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Forj?

Mobilize is intuitive for community managers and members to use. The email based system makes the platform accessible to everyone regardless of age or tech ability. A web interface and mobile app provide users with access to more features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forj?

There is nothing I dislike about Mobilize. The main challenge is that some new group leaders are not aware of Mobilize and instinctively suggest more commonly known products. Mobilize should have the best name recognition because the platform is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Forj:

I recommend Mobilize without any reservations. I suggest reaching out to the incredible Mobilize staff and discussing your needs. Mobilize has the best customer service that I have ever experienced from a company of any size. The team listens to your needs and goes out of their way to help your community be successful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Managing multiple nonprofits using email was extremely time consuming and did not provide the best experience for volunteers or clients. Streamlining the community management process freed up time to focus on achieving goals.

Our community is used by multiple community organizations. As the administrator, I can conveniently support many group leaders. Some organizations are small and may only use one group. Other larger organizations may have many sub groups and multiple community managers. Some of the groups are for volunteers while others include members of the public who are served by the organizations. This results in a very diverse user base that ranges from teenagers to seniors.

The interactive homepage to create community Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forj?

When I do not want to announce a post it is still sent by email to groups Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are creating small groups of communities. These groups are small and personable, and users do not have to worry about their answers or comments being connected to their social media accounts. Grouping others into smaller groups ensures that important information is communicated to them, but they are not being spammed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Forj?

The easy ability to 'announce' a post & text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forj?

Not being able to open my notifications in a larger window Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Forj:

It's a great online platform to hold space to build communities. It's very customizable and incredibly user friendly. Even older folks in our community navigate it very easily. It's also easy to monitor it and only let approved folks in to maintain its integrity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

How do we build a community of engaged organizers? How do we keep people committed to the progressive cause without getting burnt out? << problems and questions we're trying to answer through this community we're building on this app.

The benefit of having a platform that only serves this purpose is helpful because it feels safe and free of distractions. Everyone is here for the same purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Forj?

I really like that there are a number of different functional options to chose from, like the Feed/or Lounge, the Files section, (which means I can put all the files for the online Program for my community in there), the Members section and the events section too. It is great having all these options in the one spot. It is really user friendly and my course partcipants just rated it highly in a survey too, so thankyou. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forj?

Not being able to access the Files section from my mobile. I seem to only be able to access these from my laptop, so this means that I am restricted sometimes when commuting or travelling.

Also I would really like an option to put video messages into the Feed and encourage others to do the same, as part of the Programme. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It keeps a global community connected all the way through a program and creates a safe container for this.

The benefits are that people feel connected, safe and have access to the files and resources that they need as they navigate through the course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
