### "Good open source forum software" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *5 April 2022* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Discourse is open source and can be used extensively within a company.
> 
> **Cons**: The interface of the older versions was not as neat as it is today. Our self-hosted version was an old version. Other than that, it's great.

-----

### "Not recommended" — 2.0/5

> **Matt** | *28 August 2024* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It functioned, which is better than some products I've used.
> 
> **Cons**: Poor UI, non-intuitive navigation, poor notification... pretty much everything.
> 
> When the client switched from Slack to Discourse, it had a massive negative effect on productivity, communication, community and morale.
