After careful consideration we have chosen invision community to take our existing community to a higher level. In addition to the functions and possibilities of the software, the thinking along and the solutions of support on how to transfer our existing forum were decisive. invision has carried out the conversion and has kept us well informed throughout the process. very satisfied with the software, the advice and the support.

Five Years In — Still the Best Choice for Building Communities
I've been using Invision Community's platform for over 5 years now, and I can confidently say it's one of the best decisions I've ever made! Before that, I tried several alternatives, but none of them even come close to what Invision Community offers. The continuous evolution of the product, the constant innovation, and above all, the outstanding quality of support provided by the IPB team truly set it apart. To those who think they can find better elsewhere: true quality comes at a price — and with Invision Community, every cent is a worthwhile investment. It's not just another solution — it's the gold standard.

A company who listens to and supports their customers
I have used Invision for the last six years and have three motorcycle forums on their cloud plan. Their software is easy to use, and is possibly the most attractive looking forum software available. So many things are possible with Invision Community. Their support staff is fast and eager to help with support questions. They update their software alot , often trying to adjust it to fit requests of their users. And thats the best thing, they listen to us forum admins and do their best to give us a product that helps us succeed.
Very happy with my experience with Invision Community.

Best community software on the market
My experience with Invision Community goes way back to circa 2004-2005 (I was still in high school) where I first dug my hands into forums and forum software in the good old Invisionfree days. Through the years I have created many communities, some successful and many others were anything but. Little did I know these experiences would only get me more and more hooked into this virtual world!
Forums are communities of like-minded people sharing their knowledge, experiences, hobbies and most of all, coming together in a common place to just be themselves. I have experienced nearly every forum software out there, though I always made my way back to the Invision Community suite of products as I not only found it to be a very powerful and dynamic bit of kit, but it always provided the solutions I wanted and needed for my communities.
If you have read some of the negative reviews regarding the team, take it with a grain of salt (I sure do!). The team strive for perfection and are not only extremely knowledgeable, but the way they connect and communicate with their community and clients are second to none. Every word of feedback and suggestions are read and taken seriously, they don't belittle anyone including those with negative approaches and you can read for yourself how they communicate with existing clients versus new members. They are respectful and know how to work together to produce something that is simply leading the market and this industry.
Thank you, Invision Community. Not only for having the best community software, but for giving your clients and potential clients the very best in customer service. Each of you (and I really mean it) make up a great team and deserve all the praise. Forums, forum software, communities, however you word it, just wouldn't be the way they are without you.

Good choice for big forum
I manage a large French forum, and when we had to transition from our previous platform, we chose Invision Community after evaluating several options.
Initially, we had concerns about the migration process, but it went smoothly compared to one of our competitor I have in mind who lost all their images when switching to other platforms and had messages attributed to the wrong users.
For the migration we had a lot of testing and back and forth exchange to make it work, but the team was there and adressed everything.
We also had worries about the time zone differences, but the team is responsive and quickly addresses major bugs. While it may take longer to implement custom developments that align with our specific needs, over the years, we've built trust and seen our requirements being considered in future updates.
The tool is evolving positively, and although it lacks some advanced statistical features, it's possible to configure Excel and Analytics to meet our needs (I'd like more nevertheless :D )
Our forum is very large, and we needed a partner capable of supporting our high traffic, which narrowed down our choices. Invision Community has proven to be reliable.
From a functional standpoint, users may have been unhappy (and some still are) because not everything is possible or is done differently from their old habits, but the core functionalities are there, and new browsing habits are being taken into account over time (mobile transition, gamification needs, etc.).

Invision Community 5 has been a massive improvement, I wish however, as a self hoster I could be able to get access or purchase the live features etc.
