What do you like best about Hudu?
What I love about Hudu is the simplicity and efficiency of its interface, combined with the powerful Hudini AI assistant. It has become an essential tool in our daily operations, and we have no regrets about choosing this platform. The support team is incredibly responsive and effective, every request we've submitted so far has either been successfully resolved or added to the development roadmap.
The growing number of integrations with MSP tools is a huge plus, making interoperability between systems seamless and helping consolidate all our information in one place. The team also does a great job with communication, through regular webinars and detailed release notes.
We really appreciate the simplicity of the Central KB, which makes it easy to consolidate all of our shared documentation in one place. The password verification feature is also very helpful, as it leverages Have I Been Pwned to provide a clear overview of compromised or weak passwords across our environment. We also value the modularity of the “Assets Layouts,” which lets us add information using dynamic, custom fields that integrate seamlessly with filters. Lastly, the search functionality is highly effective and makes finding relevant content quick and intuitive.
After testing four different IT documentation systems, I can confidently say Hudu stands out as the best by far.
What do you dislike about Hudu?
Some integrations are still missing, but it's clear they are actively being developed. The platform is evolving rapidly, which gives us confidence in its long-term value. There are still several shortcomings in photo management, a feature that has been promised for improvement for months, yet no updates have been implemented so far.
Billing also needs improvement: currently, adding a license requires going through an external portal, "Hudu HQ", which adds unnecessary complexity to the process.
Additionally, it's difficult to know when a document has been added, whether directly within a client workspace or in the Central KB section. There are no alerts, which reduces visibility. I intend to suggest this as a feature request. In the meantime, I’ve implemented a workaround using flags, and I’ve trained my team to use them appropriately in our context to tag documentation as to be reviewed, approved, and so on.
What problems is Hudu solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hudu has become indispensable in our interactions with various client environments. It enables us to operate across different infrastructures by providing fast and structured access to key information. This streamlined access is crucial when working under pressure or across multiple setups.
Another major advantage is the client portal. It’s a valuable asset when collaborating alongside external teams, allowing us to securely and easily share information through a single, modern, and user-friendly platform.
