Stay away from this platform // Finger weg von dieser Plattform
Reviewed on 2021-03-16T07:44:26
We had chosen Ning as a platform for our company. First of all, we were well assisted by the support team in building the website.Since our company is based in Germany and we have stricter data protection regulations here than in the USA, we needed a signed contract from Ning to secure data protection. Without this contract, we were not able to publish the website. Therefore, Ning had offered to pause the user fees until we received this signed contract. After almost 1 1/2 years we still haven't received this contract back, despite countless inquiries. However, the agreed paused payment of the usage fees was debited from our account at the end of last year WITHOUT ANY PRE-NOTICE or any further info. So we could not stop this process. After noticing this immense debit, we immediately contacted Ning and asked for a refund of the fees, as this was against the agreement. We were also able to prove this with clear emails. But Ning has been stalling us for several months now and refuses to pay us back. On the last messages there was not even an answer. We no longer want to work with such an unprofessional company. Nothing but empty promises, we are now looking for a new trustworthy platform. Nothing but empty promises, we are now looking for a new trustworthy platform.
German: Hatten uns für unser Unternehmen Ning als Plattform ausgesucht. Zunächst wurden wir beim Aufbau der Website vom Support gut unterstützt. Da unser Firmensitz in Deutschland ist und wir hier strengere Datenschutzregelungen haben als die USA, benötigten wir von Ning einen unterzeichneten Vertrag zur Absicherung bzgl. des Datenschutzes. Ohne diesen Vertrag war es uns nicht möglich, die Website zu veröffentlichen. Daher hatte Ning uns angeboten, die Nutzungsgebühren solange zu pausieren, bis wir diesen unterzeichneten Vertrag erhalten haben. Nach nun bald 1 1/2 Jahren haben wir diesen Vertrag leider immernoch nicht zurückerhalten, trotz unzähligen Rückfragen. Die vereinbarte gestoppte Zahlung der Nutzungsgebühren wurde jedoch Ende letzten Jahres OHNE VORANKÜNDIGUNG oder jegliche weitere Info von unserem Konto abgebucht. So konnten wir in diesen Vorgang nicht mehr aufhalten. Nach Feststellen dieser immensen Abbuchung kontaktierten wir Ning umgehend und baten um Rückzahlung der Gebühren, da dies gegen die Vereinbarung sprach. Diese konnten wir auch mit eindeutigen Emails belegen. Doch Ning hält uns nun seit mehreren Monaten schon hin und weigert sich somit die Rückzahlung zu leisten. Mit einem solchen Unternehmen sollte man nicht zusammenarbeiten. Nichts als leere Versprechungen, wir suchen uns nun eine neue vertrauenswürdige Plattform.

Do not waste your time and money
Reviewed on 2021-01-07T16:02:13
I signed up for a free trial that said there was a monthly charge and when my free trial was up they hit me with a $300 annual fee.I contacted them immediately because I wouldn’t have signed up for it unless it was monthly and then said they would switch it to a monthly and give me $270 toward my future months which doesn’t make any sense. I finally said I just wanted to cancel so they said they would switch it to a monthly and refund me the $270. I thought about it more and reconnected them and told them I just wanted to cancel the service altogether and to give me a refund. They placed me on hold (in a chat) for more than 20 minutes. I finally said, are you still there? And they said yea, sorry for the wait, okay we will cance it. It took days to get the money back and it overdrafted my account multiple times. They only gave me $270 back and when I went back again to get the other $30 they flat-out refused. This company is obviously sketchy and the other reviews I’ve heard about them suck a well. Don’t waste your time or money.

I have never had as many problems with a website as I do with Ning!
Reviewed on 2020-08-02T04:23:46
I have never had an experience as bad as I have with Ning. I started a Ning website on June 26th 2020.Since then, I have had 19 people message me, 19, that said they were unable to join the website because it is 'UNDER MAINTENANCE". Nobody from Ning ever notified me that my website, that I pay for, is constantly under maintenance and not accepting new members. I have put in 8 "tickets" to attempt to get this issue taken care of. I always receive a reply saying that the Developers are busy and the issue will be taken care of shortly. I call and end up speaking to people in another country. I ask to speak to the Manager but they are instructed not to allow customers to speak with managers. All they do is apologize and blame their "developers". This is the second Ning website I have started that has had this issue. The first one I deleted. I thought it might be a one time problem so I started another. Well, apparently this is just Ning. Do not use Ning. Run! You will look very unprofessional advertising a website with constant problems, that is constantly offline, and when it is, rarely works correctly. There are better website platforms. I am going to try and find one now.

Ning is like a fraud company

Ning is like a fraud company. It doesn't notify you before charging. They have made a fraudulent billing and refund policy which is very deceptive.Never try out ning.

Ning- Broken and Dying...
Reviewed on 2020-02-12T13:41:15
Just about to cancel my remaining two sites with NING. Ning are now a faint shadow of what they were back in 2011/12 when I joined - a dynamic,cando operation that was totally professional. Today they are a broken, tired operation just limping along on past glories and clients subscriptions who are too lazy to change from them to much better, cheaper alternatives. E.G: Their links on the bottom of their site don't even work now - Resource not found! (??) What sort of operation is this. Sayonara Ning. You were once great - but now - broken and dying.

These are thieves.
After the trial account ended, thirty dollars were withdrawn from me,and then they wanted to withdraw three hundred dollars. And I did not consent to this.

Signed up for Ning 14 day trial
Reviewed on 2019-01-21T02:15:51
Signed up for Ning 14 day trial. About a week into playing with the script I didnt feel it was the best platform for my domain.I called to cancel and the lady who was assisting me gave me a hassle with the cancellation. She kept telling me that my reason was not good enough. She went on with telling me how she understands I want to cancel but she needed more specifics and my explanation didn't suffice. I felt haggled and should have never been on the phone for 15 minutes begging for my trial to be cancelled. They lost my trust in doing business with them. I understand trying to keep a customer but you should know where to draw the line and say thank you.

Ning was fantastic in 2007
Reviewed on 2019-01-09T20:01:09
Ning was fantastic in 2007. Over the past few years the site support has deteriorated so much.Problems never get fixed and when they do the fix can sometimes make things worse.
It's such a shame to see such a good resource being left to wither on the vine - and meantime we're still expected to keep paying.
