MindTouch serves as our company's repository.

SEO-friendly CMS for creating robust Support/KB websites
Yes
Originally, we were using UserVoice's KB/CMS tool. But, it was essentially an FAQ database where you could only categorize KB articles by a single tag/category. That tool would have sufficed if we had less than 100 KB articles. Today, we have over 2k KB articles with multiple layers and subdirectories that allow us to create a more exhaustive and browse-friendly collection of tutorials, FAQs, reference guides, release notes, and more.

Impressions of a long-time MindToucher
Yes
We replaced an old wiki. MindTouch is head and shoulders above our previous tool.

Mindtouch, simplification is key to adoption in any KCS product.

MindTouch - A content management system that really is Mindful
Yes
Wordpress - Mindtouch had conditional branding and power permissions based structure that allowed us to move away from this platform.
Drupal - This content management system didn't have all of the nice features that Mindtouch provided.

Easy to use, limited features.
Yes
Framemaker, MS Word were replaced because we wanted all of our materials under one roof.
October 24, 2017
Good tool for rather small KBs which requers many features.
Yes
We had some content locally installed on MS SharePoint, on Salesforce and other platforms. Each had its pro and cons, but we wanted all of it to be on one platform.

MindTouch - An exiting new addition to our team!

Success with MindTouch?
Yes
It replaced our old training pages. I'm not sure what system they were on or how that worked. The old system had training guides as PDF instead of HTML. It also lacked a search feature.
Yes
Salesforce Knowledge. It's an absolutely terrible product all around. Outmoded, clunky authoring environment, difficult to customize, no content reuse or ability to segment content.
October 10, 2017
Easy & fast content authoring platform
Yes
We replaced Zendesk's Help Center with Mindtouch because we were interested in the content re-use options, paths, more flexible article and site structure.

Useful Product, with Some Limitations
Yes
Replaced PHPKB, which provided only limited options for document formatting and knowledge base structuring. PHPKB was selected before I joined the organization, so I'm not sure why it was chosen, but the team decided it was no longer a viable option. We selected MindTouch after reviewing and testing several CMS products.

Great potential but room for improvement
Yes
Wordpress was replaced by MindTouch. I never used the Wordpress platform but I hear it was slow to load so the users had a poor browsing experience.

Catch a Ride to Self-Service Knowledge
Yes
We were using Framemaker and Robohelp.
They are outdated technologies. They were not implemented to optimize single-sourcing.
These tools didn't easily facilitate collaboration. For new writers, training and getting ramped up on these tools was time-consuming. Re-implementing and refactoring using these tools was considered. In the end, we didn't believe these tools were positioned for the future or help improve our efficiency and ultimately - quality.

Using MindTouch
Yes
In the past we had an LMS. (I do not know which one.) It worked well for the content of the training team, but very poorly for the content from the doc team. This change has helped us immensely (though our training team still mourns its loss).
September 28, 2017
MindTouch is great for companies with huge amounts of content
Yes
Salesforce Knowledge. This is a basic knowledge base/content authoring system that does not offer robust editing features and requires excessive customization to be marginally useful for the amount of content we have.
September 27, 2017
Not an Authoring Tool Solution for our Company. Beware if you need a true authoring tool.
Yes
MadCap Flare, a true authoring tool.

A Helpful Online Help Center
Yes
We had a home-grown help center that was cumbersome to post to, impossible to find information on, and a labyrinth for customers to use.
