Product Description

Knowledge base software

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

KnowledgeOwl is standalone knowledge base software, which means we only focus on features for knowledge bases unlike many all-in-one help desk solutions with ticketing and community forums. For us, knowledge bases are our core product offering rather than a peripheral feature.

As a knowledge management solution, we are one of the most powerful, customizable, and affordable paid software tools on the market. We love helping small businesses, non-profit, and government organizations share information with customers and employees without breaking the bank.

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

KnowledgeOwl is very easy to use - especially if you've worked with any blogging software - and the support services are fabulous. You can schedule support calls online for the amount of time you need and the team responds to emails, too. We can't sing their praises more! They're definitely a 10+. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

Sorry - but nothing to dislike about here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KnowledgeOwl:

We are delighted with our decision to use KnowledgeOwl as the base of our KMS and would recommend them to other companies seeking to quickly deploy a KMS system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KnowledgeOwl solving and how is that benefiting you?

In starting a new company, we wanted to create a KMS to supplement our new Level Five sales training and sales coaching offering. We are using it as a market differentiator. After reviewing several KMS systems, we decided to go with KnowledgeOwl. Our reasons were several, including: easy to use, quick to get up and running, expandable as our user numbers grow, affordable and the features/functionality were a good fit with our product portfolio.

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

We tested a few different pieces of software for our company intranet (after being forced to move away from the outdated Google Classic Sites) and chose Knowledge Owl because the UI was simple, clean, and easy to navigate. It gave us enough latitude to shape the way we wanted to present information to our employees while also providing enough structure to maintain a professional, organized site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

As the "subject matter expert," I needed to be the one to create our site, but I have zero experience with HTML coding. That being said, I can't say enough how incredible the support team (esp. Marybeth!) has been. They are extremely responsive and excellent teachers to the extent that even someone like me with no coding experience has been able to create exactly what I want with relative ease. Good customer support is a dying art, so Knowledge Owl has really exceeded expectations in this area! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KnowledgeOwl solving and how is that benefiting you?

Company intranet, resource center, training and ongoing development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

- Superlative customer service: I am a difficult-to-please customer, however the KnowledgeOwl team is consistently able to meet if not exceed my expectations every time.

- There is virtually no limit to what you can do with this app, as far as knowledge management and customer self service. Moreover, the app is easy to use, thus it will reduce your time spent on tweaking the settings and increase your time spent on writing. But if you like to play around with code, you can customize your KB to no end, from CSS to API calls.

- Totally unbeatable value.

Basically, if you are not using KnowledgeOwl for your knowledge management and customer self service, it is either because you do not know about it yet, or because your company is stuck with something else.

Long life to Marybeth and Pete!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

Nothing really, since when I find something that needs fixing, they will take care of it in a snap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KnowledgeOwl solving and how is that benefiting you?

External KB: Ticket deflection, customer self service

Internal KB: Info and knowledge management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

Simple web base interface that's easy to use by anyone in the company.

Great features that really help you manage the life cycle of your knowledge articles.

Any questions or problem you have, just contact the support team and they are always there to help !

We really enjoy our experience :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

Maybe more language interface (French for example) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KnowledgeOwl solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a lot of good employee that will soon retire and since we could not clone them, mapping their knowledge in KnowledgeOwl is the next best thing !

This will ensure that all those years of experience will not get lost as people leave the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

I love that Knowledge Owl has such an amazing WYSIWYG experience (or HTML dump), you can drill down into multiple knowledge bases with sub articles, and the search is fantastic! The Support is so amazing as well, the team really knows their stuff and is so helpful and prompt! Oh! The roles you can set are fantastic as well, because they make it so you can have lots of different types of users -- read only users (public) vs editors and writers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

I would love a few more API capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KnowledgeOwl:

Try it out! They have non-profit discounts as well, you won't find a cheaper, more easy to use software than them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KnowledgeOwl solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easily made documentation. People tend to shy away from making documentation because it's "too hard" or "takes too much time". Knowledge Owl helps make things easy for people with no html experience, or all the HTML experience make beautiful documentation easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

The tool is super easy for our users. Each and every time that I have had a roadblock - KO has been there with different solutions - sometimes going above what i was even thinking possible. I like that KO gives you access to style the KB to your liking - access to all parts header/css/login screen etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

nothing really. If i need something then i ask KO and their response and support is unmatched. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KnowledgeOwl solving and how is that benefiting you?

At the start we had the need to have two separate knowledge bases, but 40% shared content. KO was able to meet our needs and create new functionality which pulled content from a single source. Another time, we had different login requirements for each KB and KO was able to make adjustments so that we could tailor the login process to each to match the internal clients requirements. On group wanted comments - BAM! KO adds the ability to makes comments on posts. I have a long list and each time KO has delivered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

We originally went with Knowledge Owl because it was light-weight and did not enforce a ticketing and chat customer support as part of the package--as we use someone else's platform for these purposes. We were mainly interested in a Wordpress-y type knowledge base that would allow us to point customers and not worry about constructing a complex file structure for a knowledge base.

The software's design is pretty customizable so you can have your own branding at no extra cost. There's strong typographical and design decisions that make complex workflows easily readable by customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

The design themes and interface aren't hugely modern and don't feel terribly resilient sometimes. There have been some security concerns as well: for a while, if you googled "knowledge owl login", Google would provide you with a link that looked like Knowledge Owl and would accept your credentials, but it would not be pointing at knowledgeowl's domain (as far as I could see). Occasionally the UI on the administrator end was not quite as intuitive, but on the whole things were discoverable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KnowledgeOwl solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're B2B SaaS and we offer customer support through a chat line. KnowledgeOwl worked great for us because we didn't want an entire system that included ticketing, but we wanted something that would play nice with our DNS and allow us to point customers to more complicated workflow education. Knowledge Owl hit that sweet spot, and it's freed up our time significantly to do other important things (development, sales, meaningful customer interaction).

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

For anyone who has used KnowledgeOwl one of the first things you will notice is it just works. The setup and usage are super intuitive and I have never once needed to ask for help in how to set something up or use the application. - Well done!

You have granular control over access to your knowledge based to make this either internal or public facing and can even have as our organization does sections for each team.

Styling your KB is easy as 1.2.3 and you don't need to know any coding to get up and running but have absolute control to add your own custom HTML, CSS and Javascript! In addition you can include tracking codes and other tools that might be useful to solve your problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

If you follow these guys on twitter you will see way too many cute owl photos. This can be immersing and you may loose hours of productivity gawking at how cute they are. :D Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KnowledgeOwl solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our organization uses KnowledgeOwl as our customer facing knowledge based which our customers LOVE as well as a tool for internal documentation to house a library of articles and how to's for our new employees and remote workers.

Each of our departments has their own KB which put relevant knowledge within easy access for each employee while ensuing for security of more sensitive information.

I have tried to think of what life without KnowledgeOwl would be like and indeed it is a stark existence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
