## Reviews

### "SocialEngine PHP is a platform that allows the creation of a personalized member space." — 4.0/5

> **Soumaila** | *17 January 2023* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is a tool that is full of tools that are essential for the creation of a forum or a member space. However it is easy and simple to install. The multitude of possibilities allows you to create your own social network with ease.
> 
> **Cons**: To take advantage of the benefits of this tool, you need to have a basic knowledge of programming, especially in PHP. What I find as a concern for beginners.
> 
> This tool has allowed me, through the creation of my space, to have a solid data base and to weave very important human relationships thus favoring my activities.

### "SocialEngine PHP" — 4.0/5

> **Pius** | *16 May 2022* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: You can really customize your Social Network with Plugins and take it to a whole new level. For example with Shop Plugin from the store, I was able to add social commerce and allowed a specific group of members to open stores and sell, just like in the Facebook marketplace and Instagram shops now. There are a lot of their party plugins in the marketplace to help anyone customize their social network to fit the niche they are building for.
> 
> **Cons**: SocailEngine requires a level of expertise to manage, and for me at the beginning as a NoCode builder, it was s challenge. You need to know what you are doing as you have access to the source code and you can mess up at any time when making changes. Now if you are a developer, this is not a problem, but for NoCode bulders like me out there, this will be a challenge you will face as well.
> 
> SocialEngine is really awesome because you have access to the source code. Knowing how it's built allows you to add features of your own that make sense to you and your ideal users. I run a small community of dog lovers on SocialEngine Managed and it's amazing. They run regular updates to mitigate the bugs and keep improving the features for a better end-user experience.

### "Outdated for years" — 1.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *19 August 2018* | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The lack of development from the SE developers side requires an extensive use of third parties modules which in many cases are not supported by the official SE platform.
> 
> **Cons**: It is amazing the lack of interest of the team working for Social Engine in terms of improving the outdated system and official modules.The Social Engine maybe was a good solution to build your network 5-10 years ago.&#13;&#10;These days it's slow,ugly and outdated which can partly be covered by few modules.In general I feel sorry I have ever tried it but when I bought this software there were no many other options available.I wouldn't recommend it mainly because of the time and the recources I have wasted so far.

-----

### "One of the best software" — 5.0/5

> **Antoine** | *15 December 2023* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: How easy it is to use and how smooth the software is. It definitely can compete with the best.
> 
> **Cons**: I didn’t really dislike anything I had a great experience.
> 
> It was overall good \&amp; I really enjoyed the custom work.

### "Social Engine + SocialEngineSolutions = Excellency, The best Platform and the Best Plugins\!" — 5.0/5

> **Juan A.** | *25 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I purchase SE License on 2011 Because they really have the best social media Platform on the market, it is very competitive and very easy to customize using the different 3 party developers, I have tried a variety of diferente developers over the years,  But since I found out of  SocialEngineSolutions and I started working with them, (on my site for the last 3 years) I has made my job so much easier and made my site look so much better using their different plugins, they have very unique and modern way to their different plugins event tough there are already some of the same plugins develop already by different company's I believe they have the best looking and functional plugins, Plus their support team is the best, they always reply super fast and help to solve all of my problems.&#10;I highly recommend them for any job.
> 
> **Cons**: No cons so far, why do I need to have any cons... I don't know what to write here I'm just filling up space so that I can post my positive review  ;)
> 
> I have my Own social media site that I can manage at my will.
