UNA CMS Reviews

Well, the install documentation could be a bit more detailed, but after some tries, it worked. I installed UNA on a AWS Lightsail instance, and all is under control!

UNA is really powerful everything is customizable, sky is the limit!

I am technologically savvy, but I had a hard time installing UNA CMS at first. I tried the DigitalOcean approach and quickly became lost in the process - there just wasn't enough step-by-step documentation. I got further than I thought I could, but could not get to the finish line. But the progress made me more determined.

After watching Mr. Web's video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AULtMgXNdI, I got very close to the finish line. Using Hostinger was amazingly more straightforward. However, I got a couple of messages not shown in Mr. Web's video. I think it's because the current version is newer than he was using. However, I was able to figure it out and install the software. Here is a link to the video (no audio, just shows the steps) I created that addresses the specific messages I got on two separate installations: https://videos.allacesinc.com/s/Pvj0EGzP
Everything else you need for installation is in Mr. Web's video. I hope this is helpful.

This takes a huge commitment, but how many people and organizations can say they have their own social media network? How many create the opportunity to nurture a community of people and organizations that presents so many possibilities for ad revenue, lead generation, sales, and more (especially at these price points)?

It is so rewarding to see the platform live on my domain. Now its all about customization. I have added my apps from the marketplace and have been going through the Launch Checklist: https://unacms.com/wiki/checklist

IMPROVEMENTS
It would be helpful to...
🔘 Access the Spacenook community and starter kit. I could not access the community (as many mention in the Q&A) nor could I find the download.
🔘 Know when the other starter kits are going to be available
🔘 Be able to duplicate fields and permission levels so we do not have to start from scratch
🔘 Have updated and more detailed, tutorial style documentation with visuals or videos

I am so glad I pushed through the process...you will be too. I will update once we have actual people using the platform. Good luck fellow Sumolings!

I purchase the AppSumo Plus just to get UNA because I missed the purchase deadline, and they extended it like 2 days for Plus members. So I essentially paid 3x just to get this deal, and after using it a couple weeks, it's worth 10x. It's worth more than the normal price on their site. If you missed the deal, just go get it from their site, you won't regret it.

You can do whatever you want with this. I have no coding skills and AI is my developer, but I've managed to get this 99.9% how I want it. Which makes me ecstatic. I've tried number other community builders and they're all missing 1-2 must have features. UNA has them all! All the basic features you would expect are all included as modules. Then, what's cool is all the unique features you want, you can easily add with a little bit of code from AI! It's awesome! They say it's because it's all "open source". Idk if that's 100% true as I can't find some stuff in the coding, but I'm not a coder, I'm just familiar with notepad and ctrl+f when I try to find things in code. But, you do get all the files/code to host yourself, therefore you don't need to really worry if something were to happen to Una as a business... even though I doubt that. They seem to have things on lock.

Their support is also superior. They use their own product. Like... they actually use it use it. You can message them right on there and they'll get back to you! I had a slight problem with the installation. I sent a message, they had it fixed within 1 hour. Obviously you can't always expect that, but it was like 10pm at night!

Awesome product. Awesome team. Don't miss out, just go buy from them direct, you won't regret it.

Absolutely amazing customer service. I was super stuck, pulling my hair out and frustrated. I got on a call with Una and they helped me with the installation which I had done very wrong, and helped me understand more of what I was doing very wrong.
Now that I have a bit more info, I'm sad that I missed out on stacking!

FYI, if you need a great installation video, here you go:

Company with long stable history, and UNA appears to have everything that I need, including mobile apps. I was able to quickly install and try the Spacenook starter kit on Windows. I think the new Skool-like starter kit will be better as a start for my needs. Documentation for the new version is lacking in places, but staff responds to questions (find the forum at unacms.com). Get at least tier 3 for the install assistance and mobile apps.
