SaaS as it should be!
Reviewed on 2021/01/08
Exceptional. Our use case for the platform was somewhat unusual and the KO team worked with use from day one to tweak the platform so that it functioned and looked the way we needed. Since deploying the KO platform, our employees are actively engaging with the information we post which has led to an overall improvement in corporate knowledge
A key aspect of KO that set it apart from competitors is the ability for users to "subscribe" to topic areas and receive notification by email when new content is added. Clicking on a link in the notification email directly opens the content in KO.
The use of customized templates we created makes posting new content a breeze and provides a clean and consistent look to the content we post. Our employees comment on how easy it is to digest the content we post. Since launching the platform 2 1/2 years ago, our viewership has grown exponentially.
Pros
Ease of setup, price, customizability, and most importantly, world-class support
Cons
There are minor aspects that are purely a matter of personal taste and mindset, but nothing of any significance the we would collectively say we don't like. It all works and it works well.

One of the best and most seamless solutions we've implemented
Reviewed on 2019/03/29
We looked at many vendors before we evaluated Knowledge Owl, and I can't say enough about our experience working with the Knowledge Owl Team. From day one, the team continues to amaze me with the level of service they provide. They worked closely with us throughout the setup and implementation phase of our Help Center launch and continue to assist with our very custom and individual needs. Kudos to the entire team for always being responsive and helpful, but special thanks to the Knowledge Goddess / Chief Executive Owl, for leading the team.
Pros
Software out of the box is easy to use and customize and Knowledge Owl's documentation is thorough and nicely organized.
Cons
I can't think of anything that stands out as a con.

I spent at least 6 months looking for software to manage our many internal manuals, policies, and procedures, but struggled to find a tool that would solve our problems (without creating a new set of workarounds to manage) at a price that we could afford. HelpGizmo met both qualifications with flying colors when we signed up with them a little less than a year ago and has at least tripled the number of available features since then.
The best part about the software is how intuitive it is to use. It required zero training on the part of the users, and only a minimal overview with co-workers who were going to be managing the knowledge bases. I've been so impressed with the software and all of the possible uses that we've upgraded from one knowledge base to three in order to incorporate it into other projects.
All of this is possible because of their staff, who offer some of the friendliest and most responsive customer support I've ever witnessed. Both MaryBeth and Pete were incredibly helpful during the roll-out of the program to our staff. And when I had a last minute request before creating a report for our Board, they were there to make a quick customization to save the day.

Happened to stumble upon HelpGizmo while we were looking for an LMS to integrate into our software. Tinkered with the free trial and found it to be very customizable, powerful, and simple to use. The pricing structure is affordable, and we didn't even think twice when signing up with their service.
We managed to setup our entire architecture in less than 1 day with the help of their amazing customer service team. They really made the entire setup process painless, and we definitely appreciate their attentiveness to the issues that we faced.
One little feedback is to improve the rich text editor to be more precise, allow support for more fonts & features, and to output cleaner HTML. For some reason, we can't get our pasting from word to look the same in the tool. Using the built-in features in the editors didn't help either, as it skewed the bulleting a little bit and we just can't get them to match our word doc. Luckily, we have HTML programmers in house, and were able to complete everything in a breeze. But, other people might not have that luxury.

Great solution for all of our Knowledge Base needs
Reviewed on 2016/03/31
I run a small software business, and we needed a way to put documentation, manuals and training resources online so they are more easily accessible, and more easily adaptable as we update and develop our software. Knowledge Owl has been an excellent solution for us. I checked out a lot of options when we first started with KnowledgeOwl, and they were the best solution by far.
The software platform does everything we need to create professional-looking, easy-to-use kb resources and keep them updated. It has all of the features that we need without being overly complex, and they add new capabilities all the time.
Their customer service is excellent. Any time we run into something we need to do and can't figure out, they respond quickly and get us sorted out.
Great group, great product, highly recommend.

Can't say enough about Knowledge Owl and their staff. They have gone above and beyond my expectations. Our organization had some specific issues that we were encountering with our tiered access and the information in our knowledge base our customers were able to see. Though at the time the capability wasn't yet available through Knowledge Owl they worked with us to develop it as an ongoing service instead of simply saying no we can't do that. That is a testament to a great company that will go above and beyond their call of duty for their customers needs. Knowledge Owl is a must for creating a dynamic and comprehensive knowledge base that will assist your company with its ability to easily navigate your support documentation and reduce call-to-action support requests.
Thanks you Knowledge Owl!

Using KnowledgeOwl as a repository for proposal/ RFP and sales related content.
Reviewed on 2016/03/31
We have been using KnowledgeOwl as a knowledge base for the past 6 months where essential information has been captured for the purpose of reuse among staff in day-to-day activity. Our staff can easily access information, in a central location that contains, accurate, relevant and important topics to maximize productivity.
It it a tool I use everyday that helps me build comprehensive responses to RFPs/RFIs/RFQs. The UI design and search capabilities are two of the things I love most!
I could also always rely on the KO Team to reply quickly to questions that came up the replies often included suggestions how to best achieve what it was I needed. This is just one of the reasons I believe their customer service is world class.

HelpGizmo is amazing. Not only is the tool itself incredibly functional, but the HelpGizmo staff really knows how to treat their customers. They always listen to any ideas and will either implement features for your personal sites, or if it seems popular enough, globally for all HG users. What is provided for the price is like nothing else out there. They are incredibly flexible with any requirements you may have to make the site your own. I demo'd this KB to the CEO of the company I work for (a very large outsourced contact center) and he loved it so much that I am now in the process of building one for every project in the company.

As a structural engineering firm, we use KnowledgeOwl as an internal knowledge base for our engineers and other staff in multiple office locations. After reviewing many other platforms, we are very happy we landed on KnowledgeOwl. It provides an awesome balance of flexibility and structure, and is easy to edit for beginners while also features powerful tools for more savvy users. We initially had a couple hiccups with page load times, but Marybeth and the support team were very quick to help and resolve the problem. They consistently set the gold standard in customer support.

We have been using KnowledgeOwl for almost a full year now. Many of Knowledge Owl's features make the task of building out a useful, easy to navigate, and well branded Knowledge Base simple and manageable on the scale we need it to be. The platform is simple to use and build content on but also customizable enough to meet our needs. On top of this their great customer service makes it easy to get answers and help on any of the more expansive options that we were having trouble with. Our organization has been thrilled with the platform since the start.

Knowledge Owl Helps Our Team Stay Organized
Reviewed on 2016/04/05
We have been looking for a knowledge base solution for internal processes and procedures. Many of the tools out there today cater more to client facing KB's. This platform does both and is very easy to use and just gets the job done. If you want an easy to use system for keeping your team (or clients) up to date on FAQ's, How To's, etc. then this is great selection.
