Knowledge Center also supports AI-powered search, inter-agent chat, e-learning capabilities, social media integration, active documents and questionnaires, feedback management, and more.

Great Tool for Contact Centers

We implemented Knowledge Center to support customer service team members located in five locations across the globe (primarily North America). We needed a product with a flexible structure we could configure to meet the specific needs of our various teams as well as support our transition to a KCS framework driving content creation from the front-lines. Knowledge Center provided a cost-effective yet robust solution tailored to the needs of contact and support centers.

Pros

Designed to support customer service teams, Knowledge Center provides an excellent platform for hosting the information my teams need to answer questions quickly. We have great flexibility to configure the system specific to our organizational structure, allowing us to pre-filter answers based on the user's team membership. Customizable roles and groups allow for clearly defined access rights for the users and the ability to manage those rights easily. Coupled with the customizable workflows, this has allowed us to pursue a true Knowledge Centered Support (KCS) strategy by distributing appropriate editorial privileges throughout the teams. Multiple hosted and on-prem options available.

Cons

Knowledge Center lacks thorough system and administrative documentation in English. This lack is somewhat mitigated by excellent support and availability of the Unymira implementation team but does create some challenges in learning the system and its potential uses. The high flexibility and customizability of the system, along with some non-intuitive interface elements, lead to a rather steep learning curve.

Reasons for Choosing USU Knowledge Management

Too many problems with Salesforce Knowledge. The product never seemed to be fully supported by Salesforce with features that did not work as documented. Support for problems with Salesforce Knowledge was difficult, even with Salesforce's Premiere support subscription. Licensing requirements for Salesforce Knowledge were archaic with multiple, different licenses required to implement a multi-author, multi-reviewer solution.

Reasons for Switching to USU Knowledge Management

Designed to support customer service organizations. Great flexibility and feature set. Excellent service and support. Value for the cost.

Response from USU

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a thorough review! We're glad to hear that Knowledge Center has helped solve your knowledge management and tackle service challenges!

We are definitely aware of the issues with English documentation and are working to remedy that with new staff.

In terms of Ease of Use, the next major release is coming this year (KC7) which includes a heavy focus on improving the interface and user experience.

The product is really everything we could ask for. Easy to create and manage content, even easier for contact center reps to find what they are looking for quickly, with information organized clean

Pros

Many will say they offer a Knowledge Management solution however it is generally not their primary focus, if not obvious during RFP, it will become obvious once you begin to use. I have found those other companies will do "just enough" to sell you that it's "Knowledge Management" but lack necessary features impacting your ability to run a successful Knowledge project.

Cons

Nothing really comes to mind, whatever concerns I may have had are usually addressed by really responsive support team

Reasons for Switching to USU Knowledge Management

Thanks so much Keith for taking the time to leave a detailed review. We pride ourselves on being focused on KM for service, not a general purpose add-on module. So it's glad to hear customer feedback that supports it!

USU Knowledge Management will empower your business and users

Reviewed on 2021/07/13

Pros

The most impressive aspect of USU's Knowledge Management system is the ability for knowledge managers to customize the user experience based on their business needs. Drag and drop modules allow you to build user interfaces that enable users to engage with content better than any knowledge base I have ever managed. Users can favorite, rate, and follow content which enables users to get to the content they need quickly. The training and decision tree builders allows for content designers and training teams to create and deploy robust learning experiences quickly and effectively - ensuring process compliance and increasing users speed to proficiency.

Cons

There were some lessons learned with reporting requirements - these should be defined in detail versus high-level. Depending on the requirements, the system will be need to be configured to capture the data required for reporting.

Response from USU

Hi Stephanie,
Thank you so much - we appreciate your feedback! We are glad that USU Knowledge Management is helping your users engage with your content. Keep in touch with any additional thoughts or questions!
Thank you!
