### "Great Investment"

October 30, 2019

5.0

It is an amazing solution. We support our resource page answering hundreds of user questions a day and reducing impact on our support team by hours a week. We also are able to gather a lot of product feedback and route customer questions easily to the right support teams.

Pros

Software is very easy to get setup and we were able to launch our new resources page for our users within 10 days.

Cons

Lacks some flexibility in terms of supporting multiple products within our organization. It can be worked around, just not ideal.

We still utilize Intercom for messaging and user analytics, but their articles solution did not meet our needs.

Hey Jon! Thanks so much for the review! Super glad you managed to get your knowledge base set up so quickly. We're looking to make it easier to add more accounts on your own in the future, so hopefully that'll help with the multiple products.

### "Straightforward Tool to Manage Support Documentation"

November 11, 2019

5.0

When comparing Helpdocs to the tool we were using before, we are much happier. It is significantly easier to use, less expensive and comes with great Customer Support.

Pros

Virtually no training is involved to get up and running with Helpdocs. If you do have questions, they have their own robust Support docs as well as an extremely helpful team to help out.

Cons

Only con that comes to mind is when exporting documents, you can only export to a PDF or Excel file. Would love to be able to export to an editable format.

### "An inexpensive tool for small internal teams"

July 30, 2021

3.0

The team is excellent and gives excellent support. This is a good option for small companies who do not have budget for a full fledged CCMS.

Pros

\* Provides hosting for your docs. \* Gives html based WSYWYG editor. \* Intuitive hence you need not train your writers extensively.

Cons

This is NOT a CCMS neither can this replace confluence. Not suitable for big teams with dynamic content. In-product review is missing. Tables are a nightmare. The list function is not coded well. They discourage you to access the html editor, but in many cases you have to tweak it to work with lists and tables. Content reuse absent Global variables absent. You will not select this as a solution if you are an Information Architect.

### "Avoid hundreds of customer support tickets!"

July 18, 2017

5.0

Pros

\- Easy to setup - Small team that really cares about customer feedback and is willing to go the extra mile

Cons

In a market with a lot of mediocre options, they stand out. However, it's a bit overpriced for what you're getting. Unfortunately, if you're looking for a high level of quality in your knowledge base then you don't have a lot of options right now.

### "Best Help Authoring Tool"

February 19, 2020

4.0

I am overall satisfied with product. It is wonderful software ever I loved it.

Pros

This is best help authoring tool I found ever. it is very user friendly software in industry. We can create CHM, Html, PDF or Word documents using this. we can classify hep manual easily in topics and sub topics and add keywords for search indexing.

Cons

The software is overall good but I observed that facility to import data from existing word document is not provided.

I avoid 100 tickets a week by having a Helpdocs knowledge base. It is easy to navigate for our customers.

### "Good but not great "

November 4, 2018

3.0

Pros

\* Love the markdown/html editors! \* Good access controls for visibility (draft, private link and fully published)

Cons

\* Doesn't integrate well with Atlassian (JIRA service desk) \* Not the best documentation Would love to see more ways to integrate helpdocs with other products (case management or customer success)

### "It's cheaper but you get what you pay for"

December 19, 2018

3.0

Pros

I like that they helped me migrate all of my help articles from Intercom. However, once we started using it we just needed more features than what they offered. We ended up going back to intercom.

Cons

It's pretty basic and just needs to grow a bit more. I think it will be a good product in the future.
