12d Synergy vs Nuclino

Likelihood to Recommend

12d Synergy and its ability to handle all file types really suited the engineering industry.

Nuclino is an excellent service for companies or organizations with either a lot of information that needs to be accessible at a moment's notice or at companies with fairly high turnover paired with lots of information to consistently pass on. It would not be suitable for a retail business, for example, but would be helpful for an R+D firm or a B2B organization.

The product could use more formatting ability to control what content looks like; currently you cannot set text to different text color.
You cannot control the width of the content, which makes it difficult to embed large content such as tables.
Tables are not responsive; instead they scroll as if within an iframe and this makes export problematic.

Nuclino 10.0

Based on 1 answer

I love Nuclino's usability. The layout is clean, simple, easy to follow, and bright. I like that there is a read-only account option so that less-tech savvy people can still use it and they won't need to worry about deleting key information from the database. Similarly, I like the features that allow multiple contributors to have the same features to edit.

The Nuclino knowledge base is good. Most answers to your questions can be found there. I didn't need to contact support at all.

Alternatives Considered

Hands down prefer 12d Synergy. Bentley ProjectWise is overly complex, expensive and has a very cluttered interface.

Nuclino is the clear winner when it comes to ease of use for both the administrator and user. Less setup time and less "training" time. The streamlined interface is quick and intuitive to learn and is not cluttered as compared to Confluence. Every tool you need to use to create a page or administer the workspace is available immediately on screen or by right-clicking. In contrast, Confluence buries many tools in administrative interfaces and only allows use of some features once you make several clicks to include a "macro" or "plug-in". We use both tools and I get complaints constantly from my team about how complicated Confluence can get just to author a quick page.
