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?

Foldering/navigation, versioning, ability to restrict access by IP or password, ease of use of the editor, ability to customize look/feel of the knowledge base using the robust bult-in style editor as well as custom CSS (this is a big one for me). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

I honestly can't think of anything! I've never run into any issues that couldn't be easily solved by contacting support or searching their documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My company uses KnowledgeOwl for customer-facing documentation, and it's been an invaluable resource. It is so incredible to be able to copy/paste a link to or a section of a document, instead of repeating ourselves over and over again for common questions in chat/tickets. The amount of documentation we have written (and how well organized it is, thanks to KnowledgeOwl) has also greatly reduced the need for our customers to contact support. So awesome!

My department also uses KnowledgeOwl for internal documentation/communications, as well as housing documents/processes the entire team needs access to. This has been great for streamlining communication, keeping things consistent and accessible, and making sure everyone is on the same page. We love it!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

Everything, basically. The product itself is easy, straightforward, and intuitive, and good new features and functionality are always being added. But above all, I love the staff and support. I feel like Marybeth is practically part of my own team at times--she always gets back to me quickly and offers a variety of solutions to a problem, and the team at KO has been great handling some custom requests or fast-tracking things we desperately needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

Honestly there's nothing to dislike here, though I cannot wait for the new editor to be out of beta and permanently live! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KnowledgeOwl:

Definitely do the free trial--we ran several PoCs off of the trial and Marybeth and Pete helped us play around with different ways to import all of our existing content from our previous vendor, etc. And if KO doesn't currently do something you want, explain it and ask them about it--they've been great to us! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use KO for the help documentation for our own SaaS application. Most importantly, the API and the "pages to recommend on" functionality has allowed us to provide an in-app contextually relevant help menu for our end-users, which has made our own help documentation much more user-friendly and readily-accessible (and has increased its usage).

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

I work as a freelancer and I do some work for Salsify, and I've found that Knowledge Owl is incredibly easy to use. Whether I'm uploading new article content, swapping out images, making revisions, etc., it's super user friendly. I like that I can use multiple instances of Knowledge Owl and while the content may change, the overall user experience remains the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

There isn't anything about Knowledge Owl that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Each of our customers has a version of knowledge owl that they can access that walks them through a variety of articles, instructing them on how to use the Salsify software. Each instance of KO is specific to a customer so the actual article content may vary from customer to customer. Some information is standard, across all clients, so while we can upload or create general content that everyone can use, we can also have specific information based on the client.

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

I love the flexibility of the application, the support, and most importantly how it helps me solve communication problems. I love how agile the application is and how they're constantly making awesome improvements. It's also extremely easy to use. I REALLY love their new owl too. His name is Linus and he's adorable. Everyone needs a Linus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

I don't have a negative thing to say about this company. They're epic. I've spent so much time in KO and am always so pleased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KnowledgeOwl:

If you feel like you're repeating yourself frequently, or even need a place to store important processes, procedures, ect KO is amazing. I've used other knowledge bases in the past with other companies and this company blows everyone out of the water. KO has my heart! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm primarily solving communication issues. I help to create efficient documentation. The benefits are that our company and customers have resources to documentation. It also saves many people in the company time as well as prevent a lot of redundancies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

KnowledgeOwl offers very responsive and helpful customer support. If I ask about a feature that's currently unavailable, they'll put in a request with their Development team to implement it within a few weeks. Their product is easy to use and if I have any questions, our rep is always quick to respond and patient with me.

The product itself is extremely easy to use, but offers a lot of nifty features and they're always introducing new ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

There's not much I dislike so far. KnowledgeOwl is still growing, so they might not have all the features you're looking for in a similar product, but they'll get there, especially if you specifically request certain enhancements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KnowledgeOwl:

This is an excellent product for anybody who's looking for a knowledge base that's easy to use, but comes with lots of cool features, while not being extremely expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our company needed a knowledge base system for our product documentation. Putting this information into a knowledge base refreshes our help content and helps match the technology we offer with our products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

KnowledgeOwl is very easy to use for technical and non-technical personnel, very flexible (branding/ theming) and, overall, very fast.

I have reviewed comparable solutions, but KnowledgeOwl was perfect fit for a small technology company like ours.

Finally, the support we received has been awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

KnowledgeOwl does not support multi-languages directly, There is a way for developer to check for browser language setting. Although, this is doable, it makes the page very hard to maintain, and having a regular translator working with knowledgeOwl is far fetched.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KnowledgeOwl:

The best part of knowledgeOwl is the flexibility as an administrator: You can access almost every portion of the portal and change it to suit your exact needs. For instances, we needed to add a JScript to support displaying mathematical equations, integrate widgets from Zendesk, and other vendors, everything was accessible and right there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are hosting the support portal for NumXL SDK. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

The team at knowledge owl was very helpful when I was looking for an easy to use content management system. I needed something that not only I could log into and use; my team uses Knowledge Owl as well. The support staff at knowledge owl helped me customize the CSS of my site, and they are always there when I have a question. Back-end layout is easy to use. User-facing content looks fantastic, and my users are very happy with how my knowledge base looks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

Would like more CSS control over individual pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KnowledgeOwl:

More user friendly if you have other people than technical writers working in the CMS. I can have non-writer colleagues edit documentation easier in Knowledge Owl than in a DITA structure, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Needed a knowledge base. Now I have a functioning knowledge base with user docs, troubleshooting guides, videos, and various other resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

Efficient Content Management, ability to customise the UI and to use the API to integrate with our service desk. I also find that the product team are continuing to develop the product and their response to customer's needs is extremely agile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

There's room to improve the reporting and ability to share content across multiple KBs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KnowledgeOwl:

If you are looking to build or migrate a knowledgebase to a platform that will support better usability and more efficiency, then give it a try and you'll realise straight away how easy it is for any member of your team to get it setup and going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

To easily manage content-heavy help resources and to quickly and easily deploy variations of the same KB for different clients. Also to interface with our service desk for managing customer requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

Easy user interface that allows for quick and efficient use of the product. Their user support was also very helpful. Searching for an article is always great. I like the setup of the product. It's really a create user interfact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

One cannot copy and paste images from a tool like Jing. Copying and pasting text works just fine, it's just the use of the "Copy/Paste" function with images that does not seem to work at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Providing our clients with an in depth understanding of our product. Clients are more self sufficient and less likely to contact support for easy day-to-day issues that can be addressed in the knowledge base. We also supply our clients with links to other important files using Knowledge Owl. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

There are many good features about this tool... from an admin perspective, I like the drag and drop Table of Contents, how easy it is to create an article; and, how quick it is to update it. Working in the cloud is the BEST! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

There really isn't anything I dislike. This tool is so easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KnowledgeOwl:

Just try it. I have used multiple tools in response to our need for Performance Support and I highly recommend KnowledgeOwl over any other tool I have used, Ontuitive and RoboHelp to name the two main ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Performance Support for sales and operations teams worldwide. Most of our processes are the same or similar, but, it is still easy to copy and article and update it for regional differences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
