Listen, community platforms come and go on Appsumo and they are all kind of the same. Not UNA. UNA is on a completely different level.
Now, most people probably want something that is quick and simple to set up and get going right away. If that is you, I don't suggest UNA. UNA is much more advanced than those other platforms. UNA is open source software, so you can pay for their hosting or you can set it up on your own servers, which is challenging if you don't know how to mess with that sort of stuff. I like this because I am not really depending on them to stay in business forever in order for me to succeed...though, through multiple conversations I have had with them (live video chat) I feel comfortable that they will be around for quite some time.
UNA is like Wordpress but for setting up a social media network. It has the base of the site and then you can add whatever plugins and modules that you want/need in order to customize it for you use case. When I say customize, I mean customize...every little aspect of everything! Yes, it has been time consuming and taken some research and learning, but you get to make it yours!
So why am I writing this review instead of keeping it as my little secret? The team at UNA deserves it. It is as simple as that. The support that they have provided to me so far has been, hands down, the best support from any software company I have ever worked with. The owner has had two video meetings with me to go over my concept, answer questions, and tell me about things coming that will help me. They have forums that have active employees answering questions daily, on top of answering direct messages about more unique issues that others in the forum wouldn't care about.
Guys, I am telling you, I couldn't be happier with this purchase. The value you are getting for the product you are receiving will make you feel guilty.
