#1 community-building software
4/5 (6 reviews)vBulletin is the world's #1 community-building software, powering well over 100,000 sites around the globe. It's easy to use, easy to customize, and features a vibrant 3rd party development community that creates an ever-growing list of add-ons that extend the functionality of the core product. These attributes along with vBulletin’s #1 reputation for security have made vBulletin the premium software of choice for forum owners everywhere.
Pros
vBulletin is stable, easy to use and easy to learn. It creates deep, feature rich forums and message boards which are easy to navigate.
Cons
Having to buy and maintain a license is definitely an inconvenience for me. There are other ways to share content which don't cost anyhting.
Pros
VBulletin feels like it's been around forever. Probably because it has. It works, and there's a reason pretty much every board runs on it: It's easy and fast and lightweight and does the basics you need it to do.
Cons
For a software that has been around this long, it rests on its laurels a bit. There are functionalities that could be developed, but haven't been (better mobile RWD and implementation of more...current graphics layouts and design). Perhaps people are trending away from bulletins, but maybe they wouldn't as much if the raw UI design and graphics weren't quite so dated!
Support was great and helped me with all my issues
Pros
I liked the qucik and easy setup and the wide arrway of features.
Many people originally told me the software was slow etc, but since its release the code has grealty improved and its very fast and able to run on cheap shared hosting.
The admin panel is very clean, and my users love it
Cons
The price is pretty expensive still, plus there arent as many addons as I hoped.
Pros
This is the first solution that comes into my mind when I think in bulletin boards (aka "forums"), and still is being used for specific cases like gaming communities, developers, etc.
Cons
In the past it was very common but, today, it's very difficult to recommend using a bulleting board this expensive, also it's not mobile friendly. You can find some great free alternatives.
Pros
The forum software is easy for our customers to use and navigate.
I like the cloud offering and that they maintain the software and all needed security patches.
Cons
As it is based on common open source software, it is occasionally vulnerable to security breaches. The team seems responsive in handling this howver.
