“Working with the fantastic team at NodeBB (highly recommended, by the way), we quickly spun up a new Q&A using our existing database. We actually saw an increase in traffic, nearly starting at day one. In fact, in the two months after the migration, organic Google traffic to Q&A pages was up nearly 19%. This was definitely a delightful migration.”
“The NodeBB support team is available whenever we run into trouble. NodeBB is the most attractive piece of open source forum software we’ve found. The migration process was surprisingly simple. The UI is great, our users really like it, and the performance is excellent.”
“When we decided it was time to revamp our community we contemplated several possible solutions. We opted for NodeBB, and we couldn't be happier. Numbers confirm that our user engagement skyrocketed. There was not a single comment from our users that would say that the old forums were better which, I think, speaks for itself.”
"The customer forum for our Redshift product plays a huge role in connecting our team with our customers. We chose to upgrade our existing forum and needed some assistance. NodeBB responded with a reasonable quote and a plan for a surprisingly painless migration process. Not only did they help us meet our ambitious deadlines but they were quick to respond to challenges and provide solutions."
"We have considerable prior experience with several other well-known forums, and NodeBB beats all of them for our needs, including safety and security for minors, simplicity of use, reliability for academic records, stability under heavy load, and richness of features sufficient to even engage media-saturated teens. Schools are not big money customers, but the NodeBB team always treats us like we are important to them."
