Nuclino has provided a way for me to share and organize my information seamlessly and skillfully. Although I am just an average joe, I feel more productive and professional while using Nuclino. I think it is a good platform for anyone who is striving to create an impact in the world. Pros I enjoy the user friendly interface and the simplicity of the project creation and sharing process. Cons So far, I will say it was a little difficult to understand how to create an outline at first. This is my only con and it really does not detract from all the pros of the platform. Switched from [Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/) I found that Google docs was not something that everyone outside of a professional setting would know how to use. The folders and subfolders make it feel more like an office meeting rather than a collaborative process. It seemed very rigid to me, which is not something I want my collaborators to struggle with when creating. I feel like every person has a purpose and not being able to efficiently use a platform should not keep us from acheiving our goals. Review Source DR Daniel R. Manager Information Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Delightful markdown handling and a straightforward UI. Scaling nicely, too." November 4, 2024 5.0 Very pleased. I have shared a few emails with the \[sensitive content hidden\] and was pleased to get some feedback on the feature ideas that I shared. It's a likeable tool and one has the feeling that it's put together by a team that care. I'm already known as the dorky research guy at work so I have been recommending it to a couple of our associated non-profits! Pros I discovered Nuclino after searching for a wiki/notepad/knowledge base tool storing LLM outputs that I've been capturing both for personal use and for work. Because LLMs tend to output as markdown, seamless markdown handling was a top requirement. I initially used Obsidian for this purpose but quickly realised that for the knowledge repository to have any use (ie, for me to read the outputs I was storing) convenient mobile access was a must. Others were clearly intended for use in the business context / as teams and as a passionate but solo user, the features didn't make sense for my use-case. The the main challenge: it was surprisingly difficult to find a tool that: a) had the kind of seamless markdown handling Obsidian offers and which b) could handle my import of notes. Although 3K doesn't seem like a huge "wiki" to me, it simply overwhelmed a couple of systems I tried. I found it hard to believe that any knowledge management tool could crumble under what seems to me like a fairly modest volume. Nuclino has presented zero problems in that respect so far - neither in loading times nor in indexing performance. Everything saves pretty much instantly and I haven't had any difficulty in retrieving saved items via search. In other words, it provides the level of performance that I've long been accustomed to with tools like Google Drive. The import process was straightforward with one exception: it didn't like some of the non-standard markdown syntax which Obsidian adds. So a word of warning to users making the same migration: consider running your notes through standardisation process before importing. I got ChatGPT to write me up a quick Python script and it did the job! Nuclino had the most fluid markdown handling out of the box of any of the tools I tried and I instantly like that it didn't try to be too "clever". A lot of tools in the knowledge management space try to bring users along on a complicated system. I liked that Nuclino got out of the way and leaved me to do all I wanted it to do: give me a nice and fluid notepad to save outputs, edit them, and read them. I also like that some thought has been put into the data export feature (I'll come to backups below). I initially thought that the archives didn't contain an index but was happy to stand corrected. You get your files back too. I wish I could say that this was standard, but quite a few SaaS tools forget to liberate large parts of the user's data footprint. It's nice to see that Nuclino offers a data export tool that does what it promises. It's also good to see that they're adding features (public workspaces were announced today). The UI is minimalist, but not static. For anyone who appreciates markdown editing and wants a cloud experience that can mirror those in some of the local-only tools, I would say this is a great place to start. Cons Not Nuclino-specific, but the only reason I ever self-host (and avoid SaaS) is because I'm hesitant to fully hand off control of my data, especially when it's either sensitive or business-related. I was hoping to be able to use the API to extract data, but I couldn't coerce it into doing that. Some of the other tools I looked at had richer APIs which explicitly supported this purpose. On the plus side, Nuclino does let you export your workspace as a Zip. So with a bit of scripting, I was able to achieve my objective of having a cloud backup of my data in a roundabout way (I just need to remember to pull down the zip once a week). Alternatives considered [Outline](https://www.capterra.com/p/210246/Outline/) Reason for choosing Nuclino I ran into issues importing notes into Outline. Nuclino handled the import process fluidly. Switched from [Obsidian](https://www.capterra.com/p/220063/Obsidian/) While I appreciate the power and flexibility that Obsidian offers (and I wasn't looking forward to migrating my notes), I needed a tool that was readily accessible from a web UI.

Fulfillment Manager Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nuclino would be best in small group environments" November 24, 2025 3.0 Overall experience has been so-so. Again, not super user friendly, and while the open structure is nice, it is almost too open when you have many people using it. Pros Nuclino is a nice place for the entire company to share ideas and task instructions. Think of it as an opportunity to save all of your instructions for tasks in the same place, easily accessible to all. Cons Nuclino is great in theory, however it was not easy to get all of our team onboard. I also find that Nuclino links don't seem to work unless you are already logged in. Review Source Response from Nuclino November 27, 2025 Hi Dana, thanks for sharing your feedback. Nuclino is designed as an internal team collaboration tool, but you can make individual items accessible without login by sharing them publicly, and you can publish entire workspaces when broader access is needed. We'd love to learn more about what would have made it easier to onboard your team. If you're open to sharing more details, feel free to reach out at contact@nuclino.com. FS Florian S.

CEO Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product for a Small / Medium Business" August 12, 2022 4.0 This is a great product for the free version and used with small teams, sharing information is easy and presents a solution to off-site collaboration.  Pros We really enjoy this solution, it's very easy to use and practically works like our internal database. We are also able to link external documents for easy sharing. These features really enhance the company's real-time collaboration. Since this is an easy tool, we expend very little time training our partners.  Cons One thing that they can improve is the formatting tools, some variety is needed to have a pleasant UX.  If the company grows and uses more space this tool suffers, we only recommended for medium or small databases.  Pricing can be expensive if you use it with large teams.  Alternatives considered [Confluence](https://www.capterra.com/p/136446/Confluence/) Reason for choosing Nuclino When comparing this tool with similar solutions, the ratio cost / benefit was the best. Really work for us.  Review Source Louis C. Webdesigner Design Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "great easy to use project management tool" March 15, 2023 5.0 I enjoyed trying out the tool, and am bow considering making it my main solution for project management. I like the cKean interface, it may not have all the functionalities other tools have, but that makes it faster to learn and more efficient. Pros Simple yet powerful interface. No bells and whistles that could distract the user or make you spend hours understanding how it works. It's quite intuitive and I like the fact that you can organize your project in a folder and sunflowers way, plus have an overview as a mindmap. Cons Would be nice to localize the software in other common languages for non English speakers. Also to easily create progression status for tasks, in a native manner ? Alternatives considered [ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/)[Notion](https://www.capterra.com/p/186596/Notion/) Reason for choosing Nuclino I don't like notion interface, it's not clear where the pages and content is. Clickup ui was too busy for me. Nuclino has a right balance. Review Source JP Johannes P. Software Engineer Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nuclino - Simple, but amazing Documentation Tool" December 23, 2024 4.0 Nuclino integrated well into our team as a small to medium sized company which needs a simple but effective way to documented your work. Due to the great collaboration features it integrates amazing in our meeting structure and organizing meetings. Pros Simple, well structured documentation platform which works quite well for collaboration. Cons Linking articles between each other is not an easy feature. Review Source AE Andrea E. Team Lead E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great place for your wikis!" February 10, 2025 4.0 Overall our experience was really good, we were able to take full advantage of the tool and it improved the way internal information was shared within our team. Pros It proved to be a convenient way to have our company's wikis stored and accessible for the team. We were able to build a library for our coworkers to easily access and review at their convenience. Cons Some of our users struggled with finding some of the information in the way it got sorted within the app. For everyday use regarding project management, it was a little less intuitive than other potential tools. Review Source Response from Nuclino February 14, 2025 Hi Andrea, thanks for sharing your feedback! We’d love to hear more about which parts of the app felt less intuitive or how we can improve the way information is organized.

Solution architect Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### " Efficient and Simple, but Could Use a Few More Features" November 4, 2024 4.0 Nuclino has been a fantastic tool for organizing ideas and collaborating with others in a minimalistic environment. While it could benefit from a few more advanced editing controls, it does a great job as a quick, easy-to-use knowledge management tool. Pros Nuclino is quick to respond and makes it incredibly easy to create and manage content. The simplicity of its interface and the intuitive design allow you to organize information seamlessly, which is great for teams or individuals looking for a straightforward tool to manage knowledge. Cons Splitting items into workspaces can sometimes feel a bit confusing, especially if you're managing multiple projects or groups. Additionally, it lacks some advanced editing features, like a "find and replace" function, which would be useful for larger documents. Alternatives considered [Notion](https://www.capterra.com/p/186596/Notion/) Reason for choosing Nuclino Easier to use and more clear user management Review Source Response from Nuclino November 11, 2024 Hi Petrisor, thank you for the kind words and feedback!

Search shortcuts (enter, double enter, triple enter) Cons Search. But has improved a lot lately, now supports a lot of formats when searching. Review Source DS Danny S. Account Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "RNB Review " November 5, 2024 5.0 Pros It helps our entire team share information for all of our clients. Cons The only complaint is getting locked out of our account occasionally.

Pros — The animation of the to-do checkmark is satisfying.— You can change the knowledge database into a mind map graph. Cons — Full text search only looks for title pages.— No simple way of adding reminders to tasks.— No Inline Databases like in Notion Switched from [Notion](https://www.capterra.com/p/186596/Notion/) Just to try it out. Review Source Response from Nuclino February 13, 2023 Thanks for the review! The full-text search includes all content across all your workspaces.

Your feedback is much appreciated! BL Billy L. Operations Assistant Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Nuclino is Knowledge Management that Doesn't get in your Way" October 1, 2024 4.0 The main reason to use Nuclino is that it is an overall well-designed piece of software that doesn't get in your way. It may lack in certain features, but the point of Nuclino is not to be overloaded with features. It is just a simple and effective way to store information, and it works very well as that. Pros 1\. Nuclino is very easy to write and edit on - the text editor functions are simple yet effective 2. Nuclino is very simple to understand - there aren't pages and pages of menus and endless functions. It cuts down a knowledge base to what is required 3. Nuclino is reasonably priced 4. The graph view is a great piece of design Cons 1\. The list view can be confusing to understand and click through, especially when you have many different sub folders. It is hard to get an idea for where you are in the folder structure when compared to, say, Windows File Explorer. 2. Moving items around in different folders can be frustrating when you have to drag them a lot with the mouse 3. Trying to edit hyperlinks can be annoying when right clicking brings up the normal right-click windows menu and double clicking to try to edit in Nuclino just clicks on the link Review Source Response from Nuclino October 7, 2024 Hi Billy, thanks a lot for your review! We're glad to hear that you find Nuclino easy to use. We've also noted your feedback on the list view, moving items, and link editing – your insights are really helpful! VR Verified Reviewer admin Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing Product" July 19, 2023 5.0 One of my favorite pieces of software. Pros It's elegant, we use it every day, it grows and contains both the notes for new employees/onboarding, the updates, as well as an easily searchable knowledge base for any procedure in the office. Cons No flaw found yet. I have made several suggestions to the team for a few ideas, but none of them are critical issues. Review Source RT Roohab T. System Support Specialist Computer Hardware Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Nuclino: The Tool Your Team Needs for Knowledge Organization" September 11, 2023 5.0 Pros Many users find Nuclino's user interface to be intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy to create and organize content. Cons Some users have found that Nuclino's formatting options can be somewhat limited compared to other document editing tools. Review Source Response from Nuclino September 13, 2023 Hi Roohab, thanks for your feedback! Glad to hear that your team finds the interface of Nuclino intuitive. Nuclino is designed to be easy to use in every way, and it's also why we keep things simple and focus on the essentials when it comes to formatting options. But we get that everyone has different needs and preferences.

AG Asch G. People & Culture Coordinator Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "We <3 Nuclino" February 7, 2023 5.0 Working in HR/Ops we're always making updates to Our Nuclino. I access it almost daily and had created sections of our nuclino and I really like it! Its easy to use. Looks clean and organized. Easy to set up different sections for different topics Pros The ease. I like that I can use emojis. I like the search feature as well! makes it super easy for employees to find policies they may be looking for. Cons We're struggling with being able to give third party partners access to parts of our Nuclino and not the whole thing current. Cant seem to find a work around this. Review Source Response from Nuclino February 15, 2023 Hi Asch, thanks a lot for your review! We're happy to hear that you find Nuclino so easy to use.

New users can get spooled up extraordinarily quickly and start contributing immediately. It's also extremely clean and able to accommodate varying levels of hierarchy very well. It allows for live collaborative editing of the pages, which is a huge convenience for teams that have multiple people working on the same project. Coming from documentation tools that required checking out/checking in of the pages, this is a huge benefit. Cons I think the one feature that I'd love to see added is the ability to access control individual "clusters" and "items" (which are Nuclino's terms for folders and pages). A workspace itself can be access controlled and locked, but all items within a public workspace are publicly visible. For me, certain items make organizational sense to put in a public workspace, but they're not things I'd like to share publicly with my organization.

Also, keyboard shortcuts 🤩 Cons Not a con, but would be kind of cool to have a Kanban board feature so we could use Nuclino for most literally all our project needs.

Managing over 50 individual project members, and just as many individual tasks, has been made easy thanks to this application. Pros Nuclino has a very intuitive user interface. It is easy to introduce new partners to the group (and to specific groups relevant to each of them).The ability to separate each group, then edit, update and manage them each individually, has been crucial in maintaining proper organisation. Groups can also be easily edited with new information, allowing for an up to date and reliable information network. Cons We at Karman Space Programme have had no problems with using Nuclino as our primary tool for organisation. Review Source CR Christophe R.

COO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Mucking is simple yet powerful" June 5, 2024 5.0 Pros The simplicity and flexibility.

It was really intuitive to start using and has continued to be useful throughout my 9 months of use. Pros I had never used a product like Nuclino until joining my current startup, and I've been really impressed with it. It's super easy to use and edit and it looks clean. It's been an essential tool for me as I've built out all of the documentation for my department. Some of my favorite features are the ability to pin articles and the ability to include boxes of code (and you can specify the language - there are a bunch to choose from, although I've only used SQL). Cons Very minor, but I would like the ability to bold H1/H2/H3. Review Source MM Melissa M. VP of Data Political Organization Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great For Knowledge Capture & Employee Training/Onboarding" November 19, 2019 4.0 We trained hundreds of remote researchers with the platform. We also use this workspace as a tool to norm on research processes that support quality data. Pros It is easy to get started and takes away the pain of managing so many google sheets. Has good features for editing, documenting, and communicating processes. Cons The ease of deleting large amounts of information without knowing it. It is also easy to drag around clusters and items into others accidentally without warning. No system to track changes or alerts here. Finally, permissions setting and inviting users is not a particularly intuitive process.
