User Testimonials
What have other people been saying about CourseForum and ProjectForum?
Here's a few comments that we have received from our customers and other
users about our products and company.
"A top-notch application"
"What sold me on your software was the SUPER easy installation, as well
as getting the best of both worlds with wiki style forums. The structure
of the workgroups and projects offers the separation we need, with the
added benefit of having all of the advantages a wiki has to offer. The
cost is also fair and reasonable."
"You folks have written a top-notch application. As a web developer, I
have seen some really terrible 'applications' offered out there. Of the
eight or so wiki apps I looked at (from free to outrageously expensive),
yours is by far the best I have seen. Looks like your support is just
as good."
"Web access and ease of use for non IT folk are key"
"In a previous role I have used products like Notes and QuickPlace from
Lotus and I really like ProjectForum. Web access and ease of use for
non IT literate folk are the key things for me. The ability to import
RSS feeds is really cool."
"Thanks for the great product"
"I looked at a variety of tools available and, not only did yours seem
to fit what I needed, but the demo version you provided allowed us to
see the tools in action. I was also impressed that I received support
with only a demo version. Thanks for the help and thanks for the great
product."
"Amazingly easy to install"
"It was amazingly easy to install and bring up. We had been fooling
around with wiki downloads and were tangled up in all the environmental
issues you can run into. I'm the CIO here and I installed ProjectForum
on my PC and set up a sample project in about 2 hours on Sunday
afternoon!"
"Impressed by the usefulness and ease of use"
"We pay people for support at other software companies and they are
not as quick to respond as you did. In the short time I've been trying
out ProjectForum I've been very impressed by the usefulness of it and
the ease of use."
"The compactness and resulting performance are simply amazing"
"It took only a day of using your tool to fall in love with it —
and that is not a small statement coming from me, when I am using most
of the collaborative tools that exist today. The compactness and
resulting performance of ProjectForum are simply amazing."
"I would have shot myself!"
"If I had been unable to get this software up and running I would
have shot myself! I have not yet seen a networked product that is
so easy to get running. I've installed it on both desktop and Linux
server and I'm very happy with performance and overall organization
of the product."
"It was annoying that we were using Outlook to collaborate"
"This morning the emails are flying around, and with a list of over
20 existing and potential problems it was obvious that we needed to
get organized. It was also becoming very annoying that were again
using Outlook to collaborate, and each of us was going to have to
start ANOTHER folder to hold ANOTHER cluster of emails and responses."
"I typed 'workgroup collaboration' into Google, and saw your product.
I loaded the demo, and it worked immediately - this does not always
happen. I downloaded and printed the manual - it was clearly written
and easy to follow."
"I considered the number of times I have been a member of other
groups that are similarly trying to collaborate on longer term
projects like this one, and decided that getting a license for 5
groups would at least get us started. You guys did a nice job."
"Software that makes such a difference"
"But I wanted to thank you even more for creating both ProjectForum
and CourseForum. They are completely changing the way I teach and the
way our LabTeam collaborates on all of our projects. We are very much
enjoying hosting our own here, and I expect to continue showing our
sites off to teaching and research colleagues this fall. Best wishes
for your continued success with software that makes such a difference."
"I adore it; it is the best available for the price"
"About your service: I adore it; it is the best available for the
price. You have a great product--secure, robust, wonderfully easy to
use, easy to manage, easy to coordinate within, a product rich with
pedagogical possiblities that I have yet to even begin to fully explore."
"Our main vehicle for internal communications"
"ProjectForum is still great, and has been fully accepted as our main
vehicle for internal communications, which is clearly proven by the
fact that it has received a brand new hosting server in our mission
critical rack space (daily backups, supported by power generators in
case of power failure, provision of cold backup server, and integrated
in our monthly disaster recovery test schedule)."
"So as you see, it has achieved a very honorable rank amongst our
support applications, reserved for only a few. I think this proves
beyond any praise its importance and value for us.
"ProjectForum has been a very useful tool for us"
"ProjectForum has been a very useful tool for us - particularly for
coordinating the efforts of other companies with ours. We can keep
a mutual things-to-do list for them, have them post tradeshow
photos, etc."
"We are using ProjectForum every day"
"We are using ProjectForum every day. It has made it possible for
everyone on my team to be able to communicate much more efficiently."
"I wish all applications were as simple to use as this"
"I must congratulate your company on the absolute easiest application
I have ever had to install and configure. I wish all applications I
dealt with on a daily basis were as simple to use as this."
"Integral to our approach"
"Thanks as always for the excellent customer service. Your tools are
integral to our approach and our value proposition to our clients."
"It was a no-brainer"
"Just a note to thank you for your support during my evaluation
exercise. I particularly appreciated the personal email to find out
how I was progressing."
"From my perspective, most of the Wiki soIutions I found seemed to
require a 'techy' person to setup and we don't have the time to get
distracted from our core business. So, given the choice of having
someone spend around a couple of days setting things up, or buying
ProjectForum, it was a no-brainer."
"We are very satisfied with it"
"So far we are very satisfied with it. We have made it the foundation
for our work in my research center with ~6 staff and ~12 students using
it on a near daily basis. We use it to track everything, from equipment
use and maintenance logs, to experiments, to contracts and reports."
"Projectforum has become a very important tool for us"
"ProjectForum has become a very important tool for us, proven both by
the thousands of posts made (468 Current Pages, 7840 Older Versions of
Pages, 1092 files!) and the complete panic of the users when I
accidentally loaded a 45 day old backup version instead of the current
files!"
"A brilliant concept beautifully executed"
"It is extremely elegant and simple. The more I get to use CourseForum
the more excited I get by it -- a brilliant concept beautifully
executed -- I can't get it to skip a beat!"
"The easiest transition for getting teachers online"
"CourseForum has become widely used! It's been the easiest transition
for getting teachers online I've ever had."
"Awesome"
"We recently had a conference deadline looming over us. Normally, this
is a scramble of sending abstracts back and forth via e-mail or hard
copy and then providing a cursory and rushed analysis of each other's
proposals. This year, we put everything up on CourseForum and the task
seemed almost leisurely. Whenever we had a few minutes, we could browse
through others' work, make suggestions, and get a much better product
in the end. Also, it provided a new openness between us and our
students (many of whom were encouraged to submit a proposal). They
could see what we profs were doing and better match up the
tone/genre/discourse, in their own proposals. Awesome."
"Thanks for your help and your quick responses. I'm having fun with
technology for the first time in years!"
"It has increased our ability to work effectively"
"I am very happy to report that we are extremely pleased with the
CourseForum software. It has increased our ability to work effectively
and efficiently as an executive team, and everyone finds it very simple,
and easy to use. Thank you for a great piece of software!"
"Simple and useful"
"My first impression is very positive: simple and useful!"
"Installed in a matter of minutes and has worked flawlessly"
"CourseForum installed in a matter of minutes and has worked flawlessly
since. It is extremely easy to use for both my students and I. My
students appreciate it. They have setup several forums including a
question and answer forum on assignments. Here they are asking and answering the questions."
