Ask HN: Recommendations for an enterprise wiki?

2 pointsgaelian4 comments

I'm looking for something geared towards a small to medium enterprise environment, version control, user authorisation and the ability to export information out of the wiki software in convenient ways are all pretty high on the list. Any recommendations?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I've heard that Confluence can be a hassle to administer/maintain/upgrade. Any truth to this?

Atlassian has a hosted version of their product, so that takes all the pain of admin away. When I used it a few years ago with a few hundred users with a ton of content, we had some performance issues with the search feature. I've heard that was resolved, and have used it since with a smaller team and had no issues.

It's really nice to use. There are thousands of wiki's, some with pages and pages of features, but they are so nasty nobody ever uses them. If you want something everyone will use (yes, devs and suits alike), Confluence is pretty nice.

Thanks, I'll be sure to put it on the list.
