Paligo is million times better than InDesign. Paligo features like reuse, great user interface, good product training, mistake proof author view, batch publishing are impactful for any business.

I was working with 10+ CMS:es (list here is not possible choose them from) “all my active work life” and Paligo GUI is unique: No or very few systems of this complexity have a rational GUI. Paligo stands out here and is very user friendly! When it comes to style sheets and …

Simpler, more aesthetic and clean, easier to use, inherent design that molds the user based on section limitations, etc.

Paligo is better than both, by far. Confluence is only as good as its third-party addons and Robohelp isn't worth talking about.

Paligo gives you the benefits of a fully integrated XML content database, making the whole package much easier to setup and use than a system using Oxygen. It's much easier to set up and far less expensive than Adobe's XML offerings. The cost is comparable to MadCap, but all …

I was not part of the selection process / did not evaluate other tools. I had previously been authoring my content in Google Suite or directly in our Learning Management System. Both of those were hells of information duplication.

We were using our own, custom management scheme - relying on tools like SharePoint to store and collaboratively edit. But we were lacking the reusability feature and content control features that Paligo provides.

Compared to Author-It, Paligo is a godsend. It's so much more performant, the output quality is much higher, and the user experience is unmatched. Before we switched to Paligo, I had to spend multiple working days just fixing the broken output that Author-It has given me, …

We moved from Flare to Paligo. One of the main reasons was the fact that Paligo is a cloud product. Collaboration with anyone outside of our team was more difficult with Flare. Also, maintaining a server for Flare content was going to become an issue, and overall I felt the …

They are both good documentation options, but the cloud-native capabilities and intuitive UI of Paligo, plus it's ability to produce excellent output for both PDF and HTML5 were the main reasons I chose Paligo. I am very satisfied with my choice.

We selected Paligo over the alternatives for a variety of reasons: It was cloud-based (usable on a Mac) It had the features we needed: Content reuse Variables Easy restructuring and maneuverability of content

Better Support than any of the others; Ability to migrate at cost (unlike AIT and Flare); Teamwork and centralized variables (unlike Word, Google Docs, FM); Diff and Revert (must-have feature); L10N features (better than all others).

I trialed a version of Oxygen XML editor, but the fact that Paligo is cloud-based and integrates directly to Zendesk sold me, even though Oxygen XML is essentially the de facto standard for most structured authoring.

One of the biggest strengths is the structured authoring, which not only gives clean content for users but is also well-suited for providing AI content. I also make good use of content reuse, which simplifies maintenance and documentation updates when features change. The taxonomy has allowed me to create versioned documentation on our site that correlates with customers' installed software versions. We're switching over to using the API for publishing to our website and that will be a nice switch from the publication structure we've used previously. The tool doesn't, at this time, allow me to connect it to a custom GPT or create one that would be based on our style guide. There also isn't an MCP server option to work better with my Claude configurations.

The review mode is super convenient. Comparing a snapshot of the previous versions with the current one clearly outlines the respective changes and reduces the necessary content to review tremendously.
The option to reuse text fragments is another handy feature. Text fragments will be updated whenever the original text fragment is altered is also extremely helpful.
Managing a content's structure was never easier. An intuitive drag & drop functionality allows you to design your document's structure however you like.
You can also fork content, in addition to reuse text fragments. This is another helpful option that no longer requires you to create repetetive chapters over and over.

The amount of CSS/JS required to customize a site's appearance can be cumbersome
Product documentation can be lacking, specifically with integrations; in some cases, support offered no real help when trying to solve a problem with an integrated service
Some features require extensive development experience to use, which can sometimes be an obstacle to less-experienced team members

Reuse feature was the main reason for selection Paligo. It is the most powerful feature for us as now we have only one source of content that is used in all other documents through reuse. Makes it very easy when we need to update the content (in some cases at least once a quarter) and batch publishing makes it very easy to publish 100s of documents in one click

All the support requests I've submitted have been resolved in one way or another. Sometimes it takes some back and forth, which is to be expected. This is where being on a different continent becomes a drawback. Since we became Enterprise users, we've also had an additional level of help and support from a dedicated account manager in the US, and the resolutions seem to come more quickly

We moved from Flare to Paligo. One of the main reasons was the fact that Paligo is a cloud product. Collaboration with anyone outside of our team was more difficult with Flare. Also, maintaining a server for Flare content was going to become an issue, and overall I felt the Flare desktop product was prone to errors and issues. The flexibility of assigning Paligo licenses was a huge factor, as was the stability of the cloud platform.

I am not involved in the financial decisions for my company regarding Paligo; the decision to migrate our content to this environment predates my hiring. However, I know that the migration effort from WordPress to Paligo was an initially heavy lift, but any content migration effort would be. I believe that ultimately, getting our content out of WordPress was a positive move, and I look forward to seeing what Paligo will help us accomplish in the future. Sorry, no hard numbers from me. :)
