Excellent knowledgebase product, easy to implement

Reviewed 2 years ago

Our customer-facing knowledgebase of technical articles has found a popular home on PHPKB. Our IT Helpdesk staff and technicians find increased productivity among customers as they are easily able to access information to assist in everyday needs.

Pros

Implementing a knowledgebase, including seamless SSO integration was quick and easy. Support was always ready to assist and guide configuration for the best results.

Cons

Less a con, more of a wish list requests: More robust handling of images in the WYSIWYG editor so that placement and size of images can be quickly and easily laid-out.

No service

Terrible. Will never use them again

Pros

The software has some features, but there are far easier systems to use.

Cons

Regrettably this company refuses to honour their own Refund policy. Even after multiple attempts to have them honour their own commitments to refunds, they have refused to honour their policy.

Vendor response

This customer posted this review when his refund request was respectfully declined as per the "Illegitimate Refund Requests" section of our refund policy. His clear intention was to get the software license for free. He threatened to post a negative review if we didn't honor his request for a refund.

Honest Review after 1 Year of Usage

Reviewed 5 years ago

We are using PHPKB both internally (for our support agents) as well as externally (to help assist our customers in self-help manner). We have noticed that our support queries have reduced over 60% in last few months.

Pros

We evaluated PHPKB for 2 months before making a decision to buy a self-hosted license. The sales person was extremely helpful, helped us configure our server to make sure it met the requirements for installation. We are using it from over a year now and we are fully satisfied. I can highly recommend it as the best value for money knowledge base software for internal as well as external use.

Cons

There is none in particular that we do not like about this software.

How cool is that!

Reviewed 8 years ago

Knowledge base is one of the critical tools for both customer support and internal knowledge management. That's why 'omindware always aim to use the best technology available and do periodic market reviews to make sure we are using the latest and the most advanced tools. PHPKB let us look no further - it stands out amongst competition and has everything we currently need, and more. It lets us manage public articles, FAQs and documents, as well as private areas for select customers to provide personalized project documentation, training materials etc. It also features multi-language support so we don't even need to worry about maintaining several instances of it for different markets. How cool is that!

A simple and well thought out application that does what it says without extra fluff.

Reviewed 8 years ago

I've only been using PHPKB 8.0 for a short time, but I love it already. It does what I need and no more, which is perfect. I was looking for a wiki or knowledge base product and I looked at many other possible solutions but all of them were complete overkill with lots of extra things and complications that I did not need. I wanted a knowledge base and no more and that's what I've found in PHPKB 8.0. (PHPKB 8.0, Owned (self-hosted), MySQL)

Great, Inexpensive Solution

Reviewed 9 years ago

We've used PHPKB's hosted solution for about five years and the experience has been nearly flawless. We originally chose PHPKB because of the clean front end and easy-to-use interface, and of course, price. Over five years, I can't recall the system ever being down, and the PHPKB team has been outstanding and very responsive with customer support. Our users also had no significant issues and the solution...

User friendly, flexible, efficient - great product and service

Reviewed 9 years ago

Our experience has been very good with PHPKB. The platform is great and the company has done a great job of responding to our requests for customizations. The end result is just about to launch, but we believe it will be well received by our customers.
