How to read the Emotional Footprint
The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

What differentiates KnowledgeOwl from other similar products?
The biggest difference for me was how easy it was to learn how to input data and resource into Knowledge Owl and how intuitive the features are. I appreciate that it enabled me to have an API between my software and Knowledge Owl, something I am not sure would have been achievable with other providers such as WP Engine.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The ability to categorise sections to mirror my software and restrict user permissions based on role.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There is nothing I dislike but I would appreciate features or training that enable me to improve the layout, branding etc.. to make it less wordy and more interactive.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Contact Veronica Calvage - nothing is too much trouble for her. She is really responsive and her customer focus is second to none. :-)
