What differentiates KnowledgeOwl from other similar products?

The application has some limitations but is an excellent value and the support is also excellent. Knowledge of HTML is helpful to manipulate content, but there is enough preset modules and formatting that are perfectly fine.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Cost and support

What do you dislike most about this product?

As an Admin, my lack of HTML and coding prevents me from doing more with this application.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Read through the training and support content. Engage someone in your organization with HTML and coding background to help build your content. This is not a requirement, it just allows the client to manage and format the content to their own style.

Pros

Reliable
Trustworthy
Effective Service
Caring
