Best MediaWiki alternative out there

The best feature about wiki is that it's free to use, even if you're not using all its functions. It can be quite complicated at first but with some practice you'll get used to it very quickly. Sometimes it doesn't work properly when I'm editing something in particular so then there are problems which make me wonder why they don't fix these issues sooner! Make sure you have enough storage space because wikis tend to fill up your hard drive easily. If you want to edit articles online or create…

Pros
  • It's easy to use and it's free, and it's very easy to organize your notes into folders and create an easy way to organize everything
Cons
  • I would have to keep learning the program and then use it to keep

Blue Spices is a solid and efficient wiki software

I like that it's easy to use as well as customize your page layout by using CSS or HTML codes - which are not available in other wikis out there (like WordPress). It would be nice if you could add custom font sizes / colors into some pages without having problems with rendering issues when viewing them through mobile devices. There aren't many features offered within Blue Spices wiki system but what they do offer works very efficiently! We're able to easily edit our website content via their…

Pros
  • Easy navigation
  • User friendly interface & appearance
  • Customizable homepage banner image option for branding purposes, eToro users only receive this feature because ETO can make edits directly from admin section instead requiring approval/feedback cycle between administrators.
  • The best CMS alternative among all competitors
Cons
  • Some disadvantages

An easy to use and effective media editor for students

I like that it's very easy to use at first glance (it has an intuitive interface).It also allows you to add images/videos in your articles which are then stored online as well! The only thing i dislike about blue spice media wiki was having too many choices when adding new pages or editing existing ones - there were soo may options available all over my screen!! otherwise everything works perfectly fine. definitely recommend using if anyone wants something simple but powerful with good…

Pros
  • Also provides lots oof storage space compared other sites..and best part? It doesn't cost much money either!!! :)
Cons
  • Not the best

Great tool for both knowledge sharing and collaboration

The wiki platform has allowed us to build an internal community that shares best practices in terms of process improvement across our organization's functions (HRIS/Payroll). We're working with a small team right now so it can be difficult at times but we are able to identify areas where improvements could potentially help other users as well! For example, I think there was some confusion about what roles people had within different teams because they were not all listed under their titles or…

Pros
  • Easy deployment
  • Ease for employees making edits / contributions without IT involvement needed
  • Supportive tech support staff during setup phase &amp after.
  • Very easy admin panel interface

Blue Spice Has Great Features But Needs Some Improvement

It's an amazing platform that has been around since 2008 but it seems to have fallen behind in some areas (although I understand why). The user interface could use improvement as well with regards both usability/user experience AND performance improvements - which are needed now MORE so then ever! There was nothing really not liked about what we were doing or using blue spice at all except maybe their pricing structure when compared against other platforms out there? We had no problems during…

Pros
  • Well known mediawiki software
  • Easy integration within existing web site infrastructure, can add custom pages easily via.htaccess rules without having server privileges granted.
  • Extremely robust feature set
  • Has many features available for free users such us wikistreaming & mobile access too :)
Cons
  • Some UI issues
  • Lackluster security measures / lackadaisical approach towards password protection
