ProProfs Knowledge Base

Accessible and Secure Knowledge Base

Kommentare: I have mainly used it to share information with different audiences, such as internal staff, external partners, or customers. It has helped me maintain the confidentiality and integrity of my data and comply with various regulations and standards.

Vorteile:

ProProfs Knowledge Base allows me to control the access and visibility of my knowledge base. I can make it public or restrict it to specific users or groups by enabling the privacy settings. Single sign-on, password protection, IP restriction, SSL encryption, and two-factor authentication are some of the features I find helpful regarding data security.

Nachteile:

I have nothing to dislike but would appreciate even simpler context-sensitive help.

Very Flexible Knowledgebase Software for Managing Multiple Sites

Vorteile:

Ability to manage multiple knowledgebase sites in one portal. Easy to use. Update content in real time. Ability to scale easily. Integrates with Salesforce support tickets; White label; Custom domain; Version control; Single sign-on authentication; Single sourcing (content snippets); Integrates with Google Translate

Nachteile:

Workflow approvals could use improvement. Tooltips, lightboxes & pop-ups require involvement from our development team.

ProProfs needs to add features to their software to keep up with Thinkific

Kommentare: The training platform is very expensive for what you get and the quiz maker is equally expensive for the features it offers. The platform does not come with a website and many features are almost impossible to find as there is no clear direction to them nor is there a list of what the features are or where to find them. For example, there is a landing page, but in the 5 years that I was with ProProfs, I never knew it existed.

Vorteile:

I liked that ProProfs is very user friendly and it's easy to create courses or quizzes and add certificates and social media and email features.

Nachteile:

I did not like that it was very expensive compared to similar platforms and it does not come with a website. Managing the landing pages is difficult as it is almost impossible to find access. Many features have hidden access, not very visible and it's easy to forget where things are as a lot of features are not labeled.

With Contextual Help, user experience has improved a lot!

Kommentare: We were overwhelmed with support requests for common issues that could easily be solved. With contextual help, we have empowered our users to find solutions independently, significantly reducing our support workload and enhancing customer satisfaction.

Vorteile:

I like how the Contextual Help feature provides integrated assistance to our help site, making it an easy-to-read experience for our knowledge base. It helps our team understand complicated terms and includes additional information with tooltips, lightboxes, and popups.

Nachteile:

While the contextual help is extensive, there might be room for adding more tooltips or pop-ups.

User-Friendly & Versatile Software

Kommentare: The intuitive interface and user-friendly editor have made the tool accessible to team members with varying technical expertise. By centralizing our knowledge base, we have experienced improved collaboration, streamlined information sharing, and enhanced productivity.

Vorteile:

From the moment we started using the software, their support team has been responsive, knowledgeable, and dedicated to resolving any issues or queries we had. Their prompt assistance and willingness to go the extra mile have made our experience with ProProfs Knowledge Base even more positive.

Nachteile:

The reporting and analytics features could be more robust, providing deeper insights into user engagement and content performance.

Best tool for customer support

Kommentare: I was receiving a lot of complaints regarding my call support as customers had to wait on IVR for long time. So, I wanted to set up a help site for my customers and I came across ProProfs Knowledgebase. It was so simple to set up the site and I was able to use videos & images to visualize the help articles. ProProfs rules!

Vorteile:

I think it is a great tool for reducing expenses as customers can access helpsites and resolve their issues themselves without any hassles. Also, helpsites can be easily accessed from anywhere & anytime.

Nachteile:

It served me all the purposes, so for me, there was nothing that I disliked about this product.

Perfect for Small Knowledgebases

Kommentare: For knowledge-sharing and documenting within our smallish (30+) team, this fit the bill for ease of use, as well as being very affordable. I compared many other similar software packages, this was the only one that gave editor rights to so many users for such a reasonable cost. I love wiki software, but the open-source standard "wiki" software has a learning curve to get a handle on formatting, linking etc. Avoid all that hassle by choosing ProProfs.

Vorteile:

Our previous kb software required users to arduously navigate to get to the editor; with ProProfs, uses can be editors, and with the click of a button enter "edit mode", quickly adding content or updating articles. Love being able to drag & drop photos and documents directly into the software.

Nachteile:

There are only a limited number of canned layouts and color schemes to use; would like to see more variety of templates offered, but we found one that worked well enough.

Good tool for FAQ or internal Knowledgebase

Kommentare: We has a double-pronged use of a knowledgebase software like ProProfs. One was for creating an FAQ for our website, answering questions of our customers. The other was for helping our internal teams to share their knowledge with each other via an internal FAQ.

Vorteile:

I must say ProProfs of all the other help authoring tools we tried was the easiest to get started with. The editor is intuitive to use and creating pages was relatively easy and fast.

Nachteile:

I wish they extend the Forever Free plan to more than just 20 pages :)

Good tool for contextual help in web apps

Kommentare: We wanted to bring our desktop version and wanted to integrate ProProfs as the knowledge base for our web app so that we could bring contextual help such as tool tips and light boxes for our items in the app and it worked out perfectly.

Vorteile:

The free trial is awesome as it support all the integration features The fact that they support integration with the ticketing tool Zendesk simplified things a lot

Nachteile:

Wish that the contextual help feature was available with their team plan.

Great tool for internal collaboration

Kommentare: I wanted a solution for my internal team to coordinate and collectively work together. We have a lot of employees who are constantly travelling because of business and we needed a system that can eradicate the geographical boundaries. ProProfs Knowledgebase was the tool we needed all along!

Vorteile:

Its cloud based system and the accessibility from any device is really helpful.

Nachteile:

Really there is nothing to dislike about ProProfs.

Ideal for Customer Support Process

Kommentare: ProProfs Knowledge Base came as a breath of fresh air for us at a time when we were struggling with our support process. The speed at which we were receiving tickets was overwhelming to handle for a small support team. Our support system was about to crash, with the large inflow of tickets each day. That’s when ProProfs Knowledge Base came to our rescue. It helped us build a self-service help center for our customers to reduce the frequency of common and trivial issues and relieve our support team from ticket overload. And we are happy that we achieved this in a short time.

Vorteile:

ProProfs Knowledge Base is a simple tool that scores high on its powerful features and third-party integrations. When we first started using the tool, we had no idea that it would be a no-brainer to use. The interface is very simple, and the tool integrates well with our current help desk tools. We use Freshdesk currently for help desk tickets. ProProfs integration with Freshdesk has further enhanced our support process.

Nachteile:

Frankly, we will have to use the tool for some more time to identify any possible faults in it.

We use ProProfs KB as the primary documentation platform for all our new Cloud-based products.

Vorteile:

ProProfs KB is similar to much more expensive and complicated Help Authoring Tools, but extremely user-friendly, always available online, and can be used on any platform with a browser. The tool is very flexible for a variety of purposes, and can be used as simple FAQ/knowledgebase or complex enterprise documentation solution, as we've done. ProProfs KB is also extremely reliable, we've experience almost no discernible down-time over the two years of using them. The customer service is outstanding... very courteous and prompt responses to questions. And fixes and improvements are usually applied faster than what I've experienced with other SaaS vendors.

Nachteile:

For the price/value, there aren't too many cons with ProProfs KB. There are a few quirks and some features don't always work as advertised, but we've usually been able to find reasonable work-arounds on our own or with help from support.

Perfect for Employee Onboarding

Kommentare: It has been a smooth ride since the day we started using ProProfs Knowledge Base. Employee training and onboarding is now less time consuming and more valuable for our workforce. Employees can now enhance their skills, subject knowledge, and increase their understanding of our work dynamics, with the help of our online training document.

Vorteile:

We found ProProfs Knowledge Base immensely helpful as far as employee onboarding is concerned. It helped us create online training documentation that new hires can access conveniently to get acquainted with our work culture, policies, projects, and more. The best part is that it’s easy to use. Employees didn’t take much time to get familiar with the product. They instantly started using it to create and manage our training document.

Nachteile:

Zero complaints as of now. The current features of the software are amazing. We’d like to see better features that can make the experience even more memorable.

Reliable tool with security and compliance

Kommentare: Security of content has always been a priority for us. ProProfs Knowledge Base has assured that our sensitive company information is fully protected. It offers excellent security features. Additionally, the tool is GDPR compliant, so we don’t have to worry about any security lapses.

Vorteile:

We can track the revision history of recent changes, set IP restrictions, and assign user roles to people accessing the knowledge base. Moreover, we can add conditions to hide or display specific content on the knowledge base for different users.

Nachteile:

It would be great to see features such as co-editing in the upcoming versions of the tool.

Simple, Flexible, & Versatile Self-service Knowledge Base

Kommentare: We are happy to have an all-in-one tool. The experience has been fuss-free till now. Thanks to its simplicity, we could use it to create different kinds of knowledge base for our teams, helping them combat challenges related to knowledge management.

Vorteile:

We chose the tool in the first place because of its simplicity and versatility. We wanted something that could help us create a self-help knowledge base for different teams - HR, product, sales and support. Thanks to its variety of templates, we could easily create different kinds of knowledge base for our teams. Also, the tool allowed us to customize everything from scratch, right from themes, logo, header and footer, and much more.

Nachteile:

Some of its features were a little technical so we couldn’t understand them in the first go. But the company’s support team was always available for assistance, making our overall experience hassle-free.

A Great Way to Organize Documentation for Our End Users

Kommentare: We used ProProfs to separate documentation from our learning management system when the volume got overwhelming. Our users love it.

Vorteile:

We love the search function, and how it provides Google-like results. We no longer hear complaints about not being able to find information.

Nachteile:

There were a couple of things that were not that intuitive, but support was great about educating us when needed.

Created online FAQs for Customers

Kommentare: ProProfs Knowledge Base has been a huge help. We were desperately looking for a decent tool for our customer support FAQs when we got to know about ProProfs. Using the software, we have built a fully functional FAQ section on our website. It is more like a comprehensive help site, with questions, answers, lots of how-to videos, and other helpful content. Our customers are happy, we are happy!

Vorteile:

ProProfs Knowledge Base is undoubtedly the easiest tool I have used so far. No download, setup, or coding skills are needed to use the tool. That came as a relief as my team could instantly start using it without the unnecessary fuss.

Nachteile:

I faced a few technical issues initially, but ProProfs’ support team was quick enough to come to our rescue.

Nice Product to use in our company

Kommentare: .It is nice product to use . I got wow experience in this product. Support is also awesome. Up time is 99.99%+. I like this due to SPA. It is very nice for internal document ion.

Vorteile:

I like most Import and export feature of this software. We can export our content and use this as our static webpage. It also generate whole site in PDF. I can import robohelp document, word document to KB

Nachteile:

I have on cons. Workflow is not strong feature

Writing FAQ's has never been easier

Kommentare: An ideal product for e-commerce businesses. I would recommend this to anyone needing a solid knowledge base with an array of features.

Vorteile:

A flexible product that comes equipped with an array of tools and features. If someone dreads writing online FAQs, this software provided FAQ templates to ease the FAQ designing process.

Nachteile:

Runs fine on iOS devices, however, at times it lags on android. Overall I am satisfied with this tool.

Creating FAQs is Effortless With This Tool

Kommentare: We are trying to make customer support as efficient as we can, and creating FAQs is the first step in that direction. The software helped us build a dedicated FAQ section on our website that's not only highly searchable but also helps visitors navigate smoothly across questions

Vorteile:

We could create a comprehensive FAQ section on our website with the help of this tool. Besides the fact that the tool is super simple to use, there are various features such as online editor, customization options, content snippets, tooltips, and popups, that turned out to be immensely helpful while creating FAQs

Nachteile:

I think the tool covers more or less all the features that ideal knowledge base software should have

Perfect for creating our product manual

Kommentare: Our primary goal was to create a product knowledge base that our customers could use to get acquainted with our software and research questions on their own. Our support team is also able to reference our knowledge base when responding to common customer inquiries.

Vorteile:

ProProfs Knowledge Base's features are simple yet powerful. Our team got familiar with the tool in no time. It doesn’t require any coding knowledge and different teams were able to participate in building the product manual.

Nachteile:

ProProfs Knowledge Base has all the features we are looking for. So far our experience with the software has been quite good and we are happy with its performance.

A decent tool for customer support

Vorteile:

I wanted something that could help my customer support teams handle the huge number of queries they get every day. The tool was immensely helpful as I could create a centralized knowledge base, which is now used by support teams to answer customer queries. Call hold time has reduced and customer satisfaction rate has increased from the time I took this initiative.

Nachteile:

It’s a decent tool, with good features. So as of now there’s nothing I did not like. But yes, if more unique features are added, it will definitely make the tool even better.

Decent, but did not live up to the expectations

Kommentare: We chose ProProfs with the intention of creating a great KB site that will make the process of creating wiki's easy and fast. At first it seemed to be just that - simple to get around, easy to edit, however I have been experiencing a lot of formatting issues especially when using images that are becoming a time consuming hassle.
We have also been experiencing a lot of issues in integrating with Desk.com and customer support takes a long time to resolve.
Overall the software provides what we need for our organization, however the execution is not great and requires a lot of improvement.

Great little tool, easy to use and intuitive

Kommentare: Looking for a good knowledge base system for my small business site, I decided to go for ProProfs Knowledgebase, and boy, did I get lucky with the very first tool that I tried. Happened to find them through Capterra's review and chose this particular KB based on the UI screenshots. I am really loving it. Creates pages in a jiffy, using a what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor. It's really a cakewalk. And all this for free! Thanks ProProfs and Capterra.
