KnowledgeOwl Pricing

The development team has always been very responsive to questions and concerns. When an issue has been brought to their attention, they have consistently striven to respond and correct the issue promptly. It also helps a lot that the solution has been affordable, which allowed me to convince my company to give it a trial run to show whether it has value before they commit many resources to it.

The new text editor feels a bit too sterile, like it's trying to go the "Apple-style" that the industry is trending towards. In doing so, it feels like it actually making it less intuitive to use and is hiding some features (e.g. the "source" button is nowhere to be found now.)

I very much dislike this "dumbing down" direction that many software companies are trying to take, as it frustrates and alienates the more tech-savvy users who prefer the more "Windows" or "Android" style of app information being accessible and customizable.

Would rather the developers put effort into either a useful functionality for my organization, such as a mobile app that can sync the database contents when online and store them for offline use. Or that they spent more time in identifying and correcting several of the unexpected behaviors that continue in the software, such as an inconsistent and unusual Glossary term matching in articles, or what seems like a relatively poor article search engine (displays top hits that lack any words used in the search, while other articles have been created with those keywords in different order in the title/article tags/variations of search question/and synonyms for the words defined...).

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.

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.
