"Documentation is a breeze with Knowledge Owl!"
What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

I love that Knowledge Owl has such an amazing WYSIWYG experience (or HTML dump), you can drill down into multiple knowledge bases with sub articles, and the search is fantastic! The Support is so amazing as well, the team really knows their stuff and is so helpful and prompt! Oh! The roles you can set are fantastic as well, because they make it so you can have lots of different types of users -- read only users (public) vs editors and writers!

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

I would love a few more API capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Customer Service and Tool"
What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

The tool is super easy for our users. Each and every time that I have had a roadblock - KO has been there with different solutions - sometimes going above what i was even thinking possible. I like that KO gives you access to style the KB to your liking - access to all parts header/css/login screen etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

nothing really. If i need something then i ask KO and their response and support is unmatched. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Knowledge Owl for SaaS"
What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

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.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

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.

"A wise choice for your knowldge base. "
What do you like best about KnowledgeOwl?

For anyone who has used KnowledgeOwl one of the first things you will notice is it just works. The setup and usage are super intuitive and I have never once needed to ask for help in how to set something up or use the application. - Well done!

You have granular control over access to your knowledge based to make this either internal or public facing and can even have as our organization does sections for each team.

Styling your KB is easy as 1.2.3 and you don't need to know any coding to get up and running but have absolute control to add your own custom HTML, CSS and Javascript! In addition you can include tracking codes and other tools that might be useful to solve your problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowledgeOwl?

If you follow these guys on twitter you will see way too many cute owl photos. This can be immersing and you may loose hours of productivity gawking at how cute they are. :D Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use solution for central communication and documentation"
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.

"Excellent product and great support"
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.

"Freelancer using Knowledge Owl"
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.

"Extremely Powerful and Well Designed Knowledgebase <3 "
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.

"Excellent customer service."
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.

"Great hosting solution"
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.
