I don’t know if the premium version is worth it. The free version is probably the best to start with (they also offer a free trial). I’m just not sure if $10/month is worth what the tool offers (considering there are many others out there like it). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to create new articles, in the form of a Wiki. We are all used to using Wikipedia, so the format is not unknown for any users, and it's a good way to keep information updated by a number of users. You can keep track of the editions to see the latest changes in an article. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

XWiki is not just a wiki, it is an extensible development platform to build online collaborative tools. But you don't need to be a developer to start using it, and even to develop small applications. And best of all, it is open source and therefore freely accessible. With tons of extensions and growing, you can customize XWiki to really match your specific needs. We use it to create public websites that display business information, and we provide the backend to manage the data on the exact same platform. One tool for managing, organizing, collaborating, and sharing information. Compared to other collaborative platforms, we have chosen XWiki because it is open source, and it provides full flexibility. Seeing some of our work, you cannot easily know that XWiki is behind, so much it has been customized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The default UI still needs to be improved for better usability. Newcomers are sometimes lost by the powerful features proposed, and developers by the myriad of APIs available. While you have the feeling that there is a real intent to create the best collaboration tool, you sometimes feel frustrated by some unexpected behaviors. This is probably the price for getting a tool that smart and very customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool offers the possibility of adding new articles in an easy way. Also, it has lots of options for formatting text. For me, it is remarkable all Macros that it has. For example, it is really useful the 'Code' macro because allows us to add extracts of code that then it will be shown formatted perfectly. Another functionality that I like is the possibility of adding CSS styles to texts and components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion, it is a bit confusing the way that the hierarchy of the pages can be modified. Apart from this, the WYSIWYG does not work as well as I would like it to. For instance, most of the time it is not possible to copy text in the editor area when this tab is selected, so it is necessary to change to the Source tab to do it. This means that the process of writing, on some occasions, becomes tedious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the provision of scripting in pages, plugins and the highly modular architecture. Also the WYSIWYG editor and the LDAP authentication are really amazing and keeps my tech team happy. Built on the Java platform and open source modules from Apache. Uses HTML and web standards. WCAG compatible which are really nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing specific in terms of features that made me think XWiki stood out from the crowded collaboration space. No value proposition to bring me back to the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easiness of use and performance. At work, we're using it for knowledge transfer for several projects and it's showing quite good results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe the fact that the hierarchy for pages is weird (maybe it's due to our config), but sometimes I would like to go directly to the project's page instead of the index. Sometimes I get weird search results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Powerful tool to manage your documents and procedures. We are also using it to enable collaboration within our company and to co-create and enrich documents. Since XWiki is also a development platform it allows us to develop and implement features we did not think about at the beginning of the project. Our needs are evolving, so is XWiki and this is clearly a good thing from our perspective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface could be improved but this has been polished in the newest versions of XWiki. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
