When we deployed Outline, we were able to improve our knowledge sharing practices and it saved us a lot of time, boosting our team productivity. Pros I like the functionality of Outline. It has all the features we needed and it has the best-looking interface among all open source alternatives. Cons I do not have anything I didn't like about Outline. Switched from [Discourse](https://www.capterra.com/p/207184/Discourse/) Outline's wiki format was more appropriate for our use case. Alternatives considered [Google Sites](https://www.capterra.com/p/246647/Google-Sites/) [Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/) [Confluence](https://www.capterra.com/p/136446/Confluence/) Reasons for choosing Outline Outline is open source, so we were able to self-host it in a tiny cloud server. This is very cost-effective compared to Confluence's per-user pricing.
