Anything I was having issues with were resolved by the communal team quickly. > > Its been great. When i started using communal my workplace (now past) didn't secure any training for our team, So I reached out to wade personally for assistance and he got me trained and has been available to me every step of the way, I am currently setting my new work place up with communal as we speak. ----- ### "One of the best decisions our community has made" — 5.0/5 > **Shelley** | *2 July 2022* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was easy to migrate from our antiquated, and expensive system over to Communal's modern and easy to navigate platform. The features on Communal were built for our needs and functioned how we needed them to. If there was something that needed tweaking, their support team listened and made it better. Their support was amazing and we are very, very happy with using Communal. > > **Cons**: The only thing that I can say if I absolutely had to, is the invoicing module could be improved to include cloning and templates for recurring rental clients. It would also be great if the email module could be improved a little so that we could migrate from Mailchimp and integrate all of our communications through Communal. ----- ### "Solid membership management module" — 4.0/5 > **Gillian** | *18 February 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: automated sending renewal reminders, taking payment, issuing membership cards, and expiring memberships as needed. Saved many hours of manual effort per week > > **Cons**: can’t see emails sent to members. when a member renews with a different email a new client record is created and continuity is lost > > positive. technical support has been responsive and timely, most issues have been addressed. Solid product. ----- ### "Easy to use, fantastic customer support\!" — 5.0/5 > **Lisa** | *31 July 2026* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I appreciate the ease of use and the friendly, knowledgeable, patient and responsive customer support throughout the transition and beyond. > > **Cons**: I dont think its specific to Communal, but there was some confusion pertaining to automatic renewals because they could not carry over to the new platform. > > Overall, it has been a positive experience and we're glad we switched as Communal has allowed us for focus less on admin work and more on serving our community. ----- ### "Communal is an excellent platform for my community" — 4.0/5 > **Megan** | *28 May 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Communal is easy to use \& the switch from our old system was seamless. Quick \& efficient customer support in the online chat makes it easy to solve any questions that come up. > > **Cons**: I would prefer if Communal allowed bookings in 30 minute increments. As of now, the invoicing system only allows for whole number, i.e. whole hours of rental. > > Overall I enjoy working in Communal to manage my community association's hall rentals. It is easy to navigate with a friendly UI \& very few quirks. I'd highly recommend using Communal. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/256636/communal?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/256636/communal) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
