It simply breaks with the way of carrying the virtual community traditionally, It is not just about asking questions and writing answers like StackOverFlow, StackExchange, but it is about getting social interaction, maintaining a coexistence and establishing links with the community. I like this a lot because it is about empowering the community to lead itself, being the only way to keep at bay those who, instead of contributing, start publishing spam or behave like a troll.
Being free software, the company must be able to customize the software according to their needs. Obviously, each company is different, it does not make sense to apply a single solution. This power of personalization is only given by free software. Just as there are for WordPress, it is expected that for Discourse there will also soon be a wide variety of accessories, so that each organization can customize their installation to their liking.
A partner of our company requests a crisis management document in social media and obtains several examples of different real cases from our clients, it was very useful in that case.
Frankly that it's open source and easy to use. Plus I don't know of any other software or cloud-base program to handle communications and data in large group settings or forums. This was very helpful with a previous job. There are also a lot of threads you can add to keep information organized.
I never really understood the private message function. Not sure why I need it to contact administrators when I was handling a group meeting. Setting up mailing lists seemed to be too manual - not easy to upload IMO.
We used it for client and group meetings to record data in an effective and efficient way. We did use in it in that way although then uploaded it over to Basecamp which was used on a more corporate level.
1. User Privileges : Teams, Trust Levels, Moderation, Private and Public Threads make it possible to have as much transparency, privacy or power decentralization as one wishes. 2.Mailing List mode: Users can choose to use forum threads without the User Interface by subscribing via mailing list mode.
1.Private Messages can be seen by Administrators, something which might not be clear to everybody. 2.Mailing List Mode is very powerful but it's a bit tiresome to set-up consistently compared to the experience of the Graphical User Interface.
1.Conversations can be tracked easier without the risk of being lost in a sea of messages as people tend to construct their posts more carefully than on any workspace messenger. 2.It's open source and configurable with many other add-ons to help integration with other services.
Easy to log on, summarizes and condenses threads, blocks unwanted spam threats, is modern and versitile
The pricing tiers are a tad on the expensive side
Streamlining our needs in Marketing; i.e.: Direct mailers, etc. all while satisfying the needs in other areas so that we can focus on other main criteria for business
I like that i was able to communicate with co workers through private chats or forums.
I found it easy to use and found no dislikes
Able to ask supervisors for help with just a click of a button
Best forum/discussion software we have ever used
More difficult to set up than our old forum software
Semi-public discussion forum
Discourse is a great server for conversation, and it's functions are very user-friendly. I like that there are both public and private forums, so my conversations could be as transparent or private as I want.
The tagging system is a little unclear, and at best semi-functional. The all lowercase tagging system makes things hard to find, and difficult to read. Additionally, mailing list mode is a bit tiresome to set up.
Discourse is great for community interaction and some of the best open-source software I've seen. If you need a forum software, I would absolutely recommend Discourse.
My favorite part of Discourse is the infinite scrolling they have that allows for more communication to happen.
It can seem jumbled if this is the first time you use Discourse, but after you get the hang of it, it makes conversations simpler and more natural.
For internal communication and discussions mostly. It helps us all stay on the same page.
I like that you can use it for email distributing .
There is not much that I do not like about the software.
I am able to get more emails out and interact with our customers more efficiently.
Great discussion platform that has streamlined my team discussion workflows.. Simple, clean, and easy-to-use
Option to edit/remove tags/categories would be nice.
Streamlined the tracking of information, which we use to have everywhere - Google Drive, Drop Box, etc.
Open source, simplistic and streamlined.
Limitations on installation of the discourse.
Cheap alternative that is open source. Easy to save money using it while maintaining communication.
I liked the fact that this software made the overall experience more enjoyable by offering achievement badges based on your frequent activity. It's also great that they offer mailing lists for certain forums.
The privacy seems a bit iffy to me. Since private messages are viewable to administrators, it puts a lot less trust in the privacy of the software itself.
The ease of communication on forums with similar interests/problems.
Easy to use software that lets users subscribing via mailing list mode without user interface.
The tags are all lower case which seems a bit obscure.
Tracking conversations and getting members of the community involved in discussions provides so much value.
Discourse is a great plateforme for discussion among group members and professionals. The group members can be assigned certain roles which allows for good moderation and identification of leadership. Topics of discussion can be easily organized as well. The application is very flexible and allows customization of discussion forums.
Sometimes the discussion can get easily disorganized because replies to conversation build up. So it can be hard to separate the topic of discussion and tangents. The application also takes used to navigating.
Discourse is being used as the main platform for discussion and communication among team members. A benefit is that everything is all in one place and very organized.
Private and Public Threads make it possible to have as much transparency, privacy

I use this to communicate with my colleagues.
I've used other programs for this, which I like better.
Easy to use for communication.
Easy to use. My partners love this product because of it's accessibility and layout
There is really not too much that we don't like. We enjoy this thoroughly.
We are able to communicate easier within our community to talk about whatever issues arise. Good for quick communicate and feedback
I like the ability to have an open forum and connect with multiple people
Nothing really. Except the fact that it can be a bit more concise
You can collaborate with others easily
It is a great easy to use platform to connect with coworkers.
The added features can be glitchy and hard to use
Connecting with coworkers
It is a huge database of valuable information.
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.
A repository for all technical questions/answers.
