Most features require updating modules, plugins, and extensions individually, which can become a lot due to the Joomla architecture. > > It is a good application and an alternative to many solutions, especially regarding the price. The drawback is that this is not an easy solution, especially if you are not a developer. You must maintain all of the components, and management can require work. ----- ### "Turn your joomla or wordpress website member list into a self contained social network like facebook" — 4.0/5 > **Chris** | *17 February 2017* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was impressed to hear how Jomsocial uses automated testing consisting of over 5000 tests which run over 10 hours, to locate and fix bugs before releasing their software. All software companies should do the same if they care about quality software releases. The company behind Jomsocial, iJoomla, has a number of impressive extensions for Joomla, a sign of a well managed organization. Another great thing about jomsocial is how you can make money by offering advertising on your site when you add the component they offer called AdAgency. > > **Cons**: As a long time jomsocial user, It's taken some time and a lot of patience to get to the point where Jomsocial is today. > > Jomsocial has been around for years and keeps getting better. Besides the usual picture sharing, video sharing, liking, commenting inside the network and on website articles, profile pages, headline images, user location awareness, and location based search, the best thing about jomsocial is how this software makes your own facebook-like or twitter-like social network, out of your joomla or wordpress website members, and it's all on your terms, directly on your website, under your complete control. Big Brother (Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or Google+ or whichever social media site which makes money by selling out your privacy information to the govt mass surveillance creeps) cannot easily get your private information, if you prefer your website's social network to be private. The possibilities are nearly endless. Dating sites, special interest communities, religious groups, towns and cities, gyms, schools, unions, social groups of all kinds, are easy to organize and connect, as long as the members register on the joomla or wordpress based website, and you get jomsocial software installed and running on there to provide its social element. ----- ### "Poor customer support" — 5.0/5 > **Eugene** | *31 May 2017* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Has all the features I need and want for my social network. Group controls are beneficial when control of comments and uploads is necessary. > > **Cons**: They've been bought by another firm and are in transition, The customer support ticket system has been shut down as of May 26, 2017. No want to get support for paid subscription users. Software is slow with keeping itself updated with new Joomla updates. > > I have uninstalled it and am using another application ----- ### "As a active community and association of Forex Traders we use JomSocial since 3 years" — 4.0/5 > **Jo** | *9 March 2017* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Clean code, fast and easy to configure > > The software is easy to install and to configure. We have had not one problem. Its very clean coded and also very easy to understand for the users. Some specific problems we had, the support during the 3 years was very very helpful and also very fast and friendly. We are very happy by choosing this plattform. Thanks to you all. ----- ### "Connecting the world with JomSocial\!" — 5.0/5 > **Peter** | *6 May 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was part of the team that setup JomSocial at a local university. The university wanted something like Facebook, but which can be accessed using the university's existing LAN. We chose JomSocial which they are very happy about as students can now communicate with each other without using the internet. The ability create and update profiles is liked most. > > **Cons**: Nothing really, it's the best social network software. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/129355/jomsocial?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/129355/jomsocial) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
