Overview
Elgg provides building blocks that enable businesses, schools, universities and associations to create their own social networks.
Archie's take
Elgg is a solid choice for organizations that want full control over their own private social network, especially when off-the-shelf SaaS platforms don't fit unique requirements. Its open-source nature is a major advantage for teams with development resources, allowing deep customization and integration, but it does mean you'll need in-house technical expertise for setup, maintenance, and scaling. Elgg stands out for its modularity and active plugin ecosystem, but it lacks the polish and turnkey simplicity of commercial alternatives, so expect a steeper learning curve and more hands-on management. Cost-wise, it's attractive for those looking to avoid per-user SaaS fees, but the real investment is in development and ongoing support, making it best suited for organizations with clear, custom social networking needs and the resources to support them.
