Ask HN: What wiki/intranet do you use at your company?

23 pointsby XavierPladevallalmost 6 years ago
At my new company we&#x27;re looking to adopt an internal wiki&#x2F;intranet and I was wondering what do you guys use where you work?<p>I know that big companies like Facebook have built their own solutions but curious to see what other companies use. For example, I recently came across Stripe&#x27;s Home (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stripe.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;stripe-home), which seems to be their own internal version of a wiki&#x2F;intranet.<p>Curious to hear about what solutions you&#x27;ve considered and&#x2F;or what you like&#x2F;dislike about what your company currently uses(:<p>Edit: Some people apparently just use Notion and&#x2F;or nothing and just share docs with each other. Also curious to know if this is your experience

My own, PhpWiki, heavily customized and integrated with a search engine.<p>Confluence or SharePoint are horrible, MediaWiki is lame. DokuWiki is nice. But most important is the content, not the platform.

Good old MediaWiki, the software running wikipedia, works great. There will never be a concern about scalability (LOL), licensing, product discontinuation, or data import&#x2F;export.

Confluence. It doesn&#x27;t seem good for highly technical users. As per the official documentation, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;confluence.atlassian.com&#x2F;doc&#x2F;confluence-wiki-markup-251003035.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;confluence.atlassian.com&#x2F;doc&#x2F;confluence-wiki-markup-...</a>, Note: You cannot edit content in wiki markup<p>Search also seems terrible.<p>I don&#x27;t have anything good to say about it relative to any other possible reasonable solution.

We use Dokuwiki at work. It&#x27;s simple to set up, needing only PHP and a web server, and integrating logins with active directory is easy. No need for a RDBMS. We also have some plugins like Bureaucracy (for creating forms), Include (to include a page inside of another page), Tag (for adding tags to pages), and Wrap (for adding some nice CSS style options and info boxes).

Our wiki is a static site generated with the MkDocs tool (Material theme), auto-published on our internal web server through a dumb CI pipeline (a PHP webhook building the website).

Many of my customers use Confluence.<p>If you have enterprisey requirements (SSO, user groups and permissions, needs to work well Microsoft Office files, integrations in general) it&#x27;s pretty decent and certainly not as bad as its reputation.

Xwiki - it allows fine grained access control to pages. Design is clean, it&#x27;s much lighter weight than confluence (which it replaces) and the search is also better than confluence.

Depends on what you want to store in it TBH. Most Wiki software has terrible permissioning. I hate Confluence and kinda like Trac&#x2F;TWiki. MediaWiki is easy but also lame.

Confluence. It&#x27;s not a bad product, but a bit bloated.<p>In my previous job we used GitLab (wiki) and I think it&#x27;s a perfect mix of simplicity and functionality.
