## Reviews

### "Excellent knowledgebase product, easy to implement" — 5.0/5

> **Craig** | *August 26, 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Honest Review after 1 Year of Usage" — 5.0/5

> **Johny** | *April 17, 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

-----

### "No service" — 1.0/5

> **Neil** | *July 6, 2021* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> Terrible.  Will never use them again

-----

### "Great, Inexpensive Solution" — 4.0/5

> **Mike** | *January 26, 2016*
> 
> 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 just always worked as intended.  We generated several million page views over time which was great given the niche market we're in. The main point I would make with these types of solutions is to line up your content people and keep them  engaged to keep your site fresh. For the app, also carefully consider your reporting needs. I expect you could install and maintain this locally without a great deal of effort.

### "How cool is that\!" — 5.0/5

> **Sergey** | *May 24, 2016*
> 
> 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\!
