Overall Satisfaction with Paligo
I use Paligo as our sole CCMS and authoring tool to create and manage the user documentation for our platform. Our documentation is leveraged by many different kinds of users, both internal and external, and I'm able to meet the various needs of these users as the only technical writer at the company. When shopping around for tools, we needed a powerful CCMS that provided lots of content reuse and publishing options while still being cloud-based instead of locally installed. Paligo checked all those boxes and was easy to use on top of that, especially for someone with some experience working in XML-based authoring tools (I have a background using MadCap Flare).
- Streamlined authoring and publication workflow
- Content reuse
- User-friendly UI
- No content reuse at the individual phrase level (within paragraphs)
- No GUI theme editor
- Effective content reuse and variables
- Prioritization of HTML5 output and customization
- Integration with source control (GitHub) and web hosting services (AWS)
- Paligo allowed us to pivot our docs strategy and recreate our entire docs set (approx. 60k words) in a couple of months
- Our users have complimented us on the ease of use and structure of our output
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
Integration with source control and web hosting services
It had a pricing structure that supported a small team with room to grow
The support was strong
