DokuWiki Reviews & Product Details

DokuWiki is a very solid solution for creating a wiki system, both on a personal and corporate level. In my company, it is used as a multi-user knowledge base. Thanks to some (free) plugins and the fact that the pages are simple text files, it is very easy to enhance its functions and use it as a corporate intranet/extranet.

After almost twenty years of use, I still haven't found a weak point. Perhaps there is a lack of templates that would make the UX more modern, but our team has never felt the need for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is so easy to setup and maintain, no complicated database setup to deal with. It’s perfect for instances where you don’t need a huge multiuser wiki. It’s great for keeping notes for one person or a small workgroup or family. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because the web server user has to be able to write to disk, this presents a security concern. But proper configuration of network access and keeping things updated mitigates the risks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very organized and easy to manage and edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A little plain jane and boring, password system is not very intuitive for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The revision control. There's been times I've used it for a shopping list and went back into the revision control and reused and edited an old shopping list. Extremely useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of many downsides to it, only one that comes to mind is that I can't use a spaces in my passwords for login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the access and that it gives me information at my fingertips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need better vetting of who makes editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think I like that its so easy to use and even train other associates on. I love that it doesn't require a database and very easily maintained. incredibly clean and remarkable syntax. once again low maintenance and very simple. variety of themes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there's not much to dislike with DokuWiki. if I had to pick something I guess id say there can be a lot of plug-ins. but that really isn't an issue for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's super fast to setup, there's very little learning curve. I use it mostly for small projects since it just works. There are other wiki's out there, but this one seems to be the fastest to implement and get working Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not really a lot to dislike, some modifications take more effort than others but for ease of use it's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As the name implies, DokuWiki is made for documentation, manuals and descriptions. This is also, where the software can score its most points. It is possible to create nicely formatted and easy to read documentation and information. In addition, the installation and menu are quite easy. System resources and especially needed space for the install are also low. Of course this is unaffected by the amount of data you might later store in the DokuWiki, but it generally works fast and is really great if you are looking for a tool specifically for documentations.

While DokuWiki does certainly perform its duties more than well, the design looks a bit dated and simple. The default theme after installation looks somewhat like a software from the early 2000s. Probably, after DokuWiki has been first published, the design never received an overhaul. On the other hand, this simplicity might be especially what other users are looking for. Besides the old fashioned design, the software is really great in what it does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a software we use to document most of the details about the installations we have in my company. It is an easy way to put all the knowledge together. You can structure the data in many different ways, all of them described in their own wiki, so any knowledge in programming is needed to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dislike or miss in this software yet. It does everything we require and does it fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that virtually everything for a client in Wiki can be easily accessed on a single page instead of a different page for everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adding information from scratch, especially new clients that don't have an existing format or template to copy from, can be a headache because of the codes for different emphasis, highlighting, colors, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
