Great tool for sharing information and improving communication within our company

PROS: XWiki is easy to use tool and it has great interface. We can easily manage, organize and use the documentations. We are able to connect each internal and external person. It allows us to use dedicated areas so we can discuss about specific topics. We can easily encourage our employees to interact better with each other.

Customizable, flexible and easy to use tool

PROS: XWiki is not simple product, it has extensible development platform so you can easily build online collaborative tools. The good thing is you don’t have to be developer in order to use this platform. I love that this product is open source and it provides lot of options for free. I can easily customize it so it can meet my needs. We are using it to create public web-site where we can put business information and to provide backend so the data can be easily managed on the same platform. I love that I have one tool for organizing and sharing information.

CONS: They could improve the UI and its usability. Those who are new have some difficulties because they meet lot of features at once. Sometimes it can be frustrating to create some collaborative tool but on the other hand we have smart and extremely customizable tool.

Xwiki has great set of features

PROS: There are great options for scripting in pages, plugins and it has great modular architecture. I love the WYSIWYG editor and LDAP authentication, my team simply loves these options. I have the ability to build on Java platform and open source modules directly from Apache. It has HTML and web standards, and WCAG is compatible.

CONS: I can’t think of something to dislike, I don’t have features that I don’t like or found unnecessary, the product works perfect.

"A collaboration that you can tune to your needs to organise your information"
What do you like best about XWiki?

XWiki is not just a wiki, it is a 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 WebSite that display business information, and we provide the backend to manage the data on the exact same platform. One tool for managing, organising collaborating and sharing information. Compare to other collaborative platform, we have chosen XWiki because it is open source, and it provide full flexibility. Seeing some of our work, you cannot easily know that XWiki is behind, so much it has been customised.

What do you dislike about XWiki?

The default UI still needs to be improved for better usability. Newcomers are sometime lost by the powerful features proposed, and developers by the myriad of API available. While you have the feeling that there is real intend to create the best collaboration tool, you sometime feel frustrated by some unexpected behaviours. This is probably the price for getting a tool that smart and very customisable.

Recommendations to others considering XWiki:

If you have information to organise and share, you should consider using XWiki in replacement to mail, office, and other complex workflow you are using today.

What problems is XWiki solving and how is that benefiting you?

We provide collaborative online solution to our clients. We have therefore use XWiki as a base platform. Out of the box, it already provides useful feature to our customers, and it allow us to quickly craft a PoC to convince them to go further. By its customisability and the access to the source, we never reach a dead end and we are always able to provide a good solution for our customers needs.

"X Wiki all the way !"
What do you like best about XWiki?

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.

What do you dislike about XWiki?

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.

Recommendations to others considering XWiki:

This is a very crowded space for such technologies and there are various products in the market. Do choose the correct one according to the needs of the current team and looking at all future needs.

What problems is XWiki solving and how is that benefiting you?

The only possible benefit I tried looking at is that the product was free for me in the capacity that I used it in.

Xwiki is very useful tool for our company

PROS: This software allows us to add new articles easily, and it offers great options for formatting text. I love the “Code” macro and I’m using it to add extracts of the code so it will be shown formatted perfectly. I love the possibility to add CSS styles to the components and texts.

CONS: I found that the hierarchy of the pages is bit confusing for me. Also, the WYSIWYG doesn’t work as I would like to, sometimes I cannot copy text within the editor area when I select the tab, so I have to change the Source tab in order to do it.
