Good platform at the time but now being left behind
We really appreciated this platform for a while, but our users started requesting something more modern and real-time. We now changed to a different community platform that is more like social media. I feel platforms like vBulletin may have had their day unless they become more similar to social media platforms. As a moderator, the platform solves some issues that are created through the social media approach, but users just aren't happy with it.

Pros
I like this software since its easy to use and installation is very simple and fast. It can load in different platforms is windows, Unix, MacOs as for me I use it on windows. It has an asset manager which allows the user to access photos, files and documents t anytime you need. Can be used for article publicity
Cons
I do not have any cons on this software is the best for me and my coworkers also never complain about it.
World famous community software
We use vBulletin for our community website where people discuss automotive related topics.
Pros
Has a lot of features and is used by a lot of websites. Has a good performance on large numbers of posts.
Cons
Development of the software is not going well in the latest years. vBulletin cannot tackle other communication platforms as Facebook and WhatsApp that are now used to publicly discuss topics and discover other people with the same interests.

Pros
It does what it says on the tin. It is a good forum platform and has a serious, established feel to it. Users are familiar with how it works. It was possible to have our company branding and some customisation.
Cons
It's very dated and with people being more used to using social media for communities, it isn't desirable for users. It is also quite limited with customisation, as you have to go to third parties for particular add-ons that you would expect to be more straight forward. The front-end is more user friendly than the back-end.
