Listen to their customers, delivering new features
What do you like best about the product?
When I have a question I get helpful answers from all around- product managers, support, customer success. Everyone seems willing to help and stick with me even on tricky issues.
They have a great knowledge base that covers many questions, and are very responsive to other questions.
They've made many major improvements in the platform since we've been with them, most of which we can directly benefit from. They also give access to beta features one-by-one if you ask.
The customer peer group is extremely helpful.

What do you dislike about the product?
CSMs have a lot of turnover, which leaves us hanging sometimes while they hire/train new ones. We've had 3 (or 4?) in less than 2 years.
With a very technical product and super-specialized user base, I have trouble to find advice and sometimes wonder if CSMs understand our business.
Reporting and integrations has room for improvement. The only integration we use is SalesForce, and it is a bit unreliable, so that we still do a lot of manual input.
Also, some of the new features are work-in-progress for a long time, making their usefulness minimal.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've seen our longterm customers and partners respond very well to closer interaction with product development - they like the chance to give feedback and get an early view of roadmap items.
Product team also loves to interact with customers - this makes is very easy for them, and many have taken advantage and become quite active in asking/answering customers directly.
Some superusers have emerged. They give us detailed practical feedback to development, and have started answering peers' questions, which shows a commitment and pride in using our product. It is very heartening to witness!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider your needs in reporting, integration with other systems, and styling/branding. The admin console still has a few minor bugs but for day to day needs it is not a problem. Reporting is inexact and incomplete, and integrations are basic and few - this hasn't been a major issue for us, as we've found our own workarounds, but in a large organization it should be considered carefully.
However, from my perspective, the functional features are at a high enough level to be useful for nearly any organization as a part of your Customer Success toolkit. I am confident that the platform will keep improving, because inSided is responsive and seems committed to connecting with customer needs.

The perfect deal for a service-oriented customer relationship platform
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best is the modular principle and the simple handling.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest, there are no points and topics that I wouldn't like when working with inSided.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our main business goal is to strengthen our customer relationships by making our customers feel that they are never alone. We want to provide an excellent service experience by supporting our users with individual help but also by referencing and linking to our self-service and help content.
InSided community platform
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best is the modern look and feel, ease of use and the fact the platform is built on a self service model so the community admin has the ability to make changes and not have to rely on a developer, etc, which saves time and money. Changes to layout can be performed very quickly. They are also always innovating and pushing out new features and functionality. I also really like the fact that they include their customers in workshops or feature discussions as they are building out new pieces of the platform - it's good to hear from many different customers. Support is also top notch!
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see a little more 'bake' time for new features in staging environments. Generally all changes are implemented without issue but be nice to experiment with them in stage for a few weeks before going live. Have a staging site really helps to preview any upcoming changes and get a handle for the look and feel of the new feature or functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to offer a place for the customer community to share product ideas, engage with our user groups, and have open discussion about our tech. We have also found that most folks leverage our community before opening any support tickets. Lots of the new product ideas have generated internal discussions which is great to provide that feedback back to our customer community.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The InSided community platform can operate with a small team right from the start - which saves money and can scale as the team grows. The admin panel is intuitive and easy to use for the novice admin to the experienced. The InSided community itself is a great resource to discuss ideas with peers - you can get a sense of what others are doing and the team from InSided also participates. You also have the opportunity to help shape the product with your thoughts and ideas.
Quality platform template
What do you like best about the product?
Very good SEO. Great Google indexing, and subsequently, great organic traffic. The UI also, good options for users and staff alike. They have also now improved the analytics section following client feedback. Exports create effective topic lists which you can filter according to what you need, making it better then Google Analytics in many aspect, even with a topic view account available.
Customizable: you can edit, change, test easily and quickly on the front end. AND you can add your own HTML to make it truly unique. With regards to the integrations Insided allow, we as a community are no way making the most of what is on offer, with federated search, embeddable widgets and more, allowing you to combine your community content with your other online help resources, IF THERE IS THE APETITE INTERNALLY TO DO SO.
Great support when things go wrong. And great advice from Kenneth our CSM. Kenneth is great, I can't say that enough!

What do you dislike about the product?
Content creation, it's a bit glitchy, jumpy, and the tables are tricky to edit. Also features such as losing your message when you toggle between pages, and mobile display setting options.
Feature requests seem to be predominantly vote based, so unless members of the Inspired community see your idea suggestion and vote for it, you won't see it be a priority.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customer support via call deflection. It's recommended to use a survey to track progress
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make the most of your customer success manager. They will find time for you if you take the time to consider how best to use this knowledge.
Excellent support, stable platform, and exciting roadmap
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of moderation, in terms of replying to discussions, updating status, tagging users, moving to a different category, etc.
Also, the people at inSided offer really great support. They guided us through the community migration process with very few hiccups, stood at the ready to help with any question or request for the first few months after go-live, and are including us in their product roadmap plans.

What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, the majority of reporting has to be completed outside of the inSided platform. And there are some questions, like who are my most active/engaged users, that I feel like I have to manually investigate to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
InSided provides a centralized location to collect product feedback, and it also provides another channel for customers to self-serve. It's much easier to manage queues for moderators, and to manage any user issues compared to our old platform. Content creation is easy and the output looks attractive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get a Sandbox and try it out yourself!

The platform offers a best in class community experience with regards to UI/UX in the front-end and a professional solution for CRM without the need to connect external platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside is the lack of extensive analytics and customizability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Insided community platform offers a scalable solution to provide our customers with a digital environment to connect with each other and the brand around a multitude of subjects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When doing a vendor selection, make sure you relay all your requirements as Insided is usually willing to budge a little if needed.

Loads of great features, real investment in customer success and supporting customers to achieve great things with a community!
