PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

This software allows us to add new articles easily, and it offers great options for formatting text. I love the “Code” macro and I’m using it to add extracts of the code so it will be shown formatted perfectly. I love the possibility to add CSS styles to the components and texts.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

I found that the hierarchy of the pages is bit confusing for me. Also, the WYSIWYG doesn’t work as I would like to, sometimes I cannot copy text within the editor area when I select the tab, so I have to change the Source tab in order to do it.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

Our job is to share the knowledge between all of the workmates and to decide which tool is best for solving specific problem.
