Excellent tool to manage the Knowledge Base
The customer service is great. We suggested adding an option to link to the internal content and they actually implemented it. It was very helpful.
Pros
The product was easy to setup. There is a way to customize templates applying your own brand, color, etc. The customer service is great. They worked with us on couple of very custom authentication setup. Resoond to emails is fast.
Cons
Wish to have more customization option for the front-end. Particularly for setting up the landing page and categories. For the analytics would be great to have some sort of the reporting functionality added. Also we should be able to setup SEO-friendly URL handle for google analytics.
Reasons for choosing HelpSite
We needed a tool that can be integrated with internal application and allow for authentication via authentication token. HelpSite provided the easiest solution and assisted us with setup.

Helpsite
Pros
Helspite is so easy to use, from creating an article of help for your users to adding a custom domain. The content editor allows all media types from images to embedding videos. Most importantly what I liked most about Helspite is the fact that they offer a free plan that covers most of what a new founder needs Most similar services limit the number of articles and help material you can publish. Help you can publish a lot of articles in the free plan. I have not reached the cap, but I have 1 article already published for free.
Cons
No outright cons to be honest! But I would appreciate if we had a better UI in terms of outlook. Colorful and fully customizable to look very appealing. Right now helpsite is just straightforward and serves its primary purpose of creating help material for our users. Although really it would be nice to have a better looking interface for our customers too.
Reasons for choosing HelpSite
It ad a free plan that was very comprehensive, covering much of what I needed.

Difficult to integrate and linking and security remain a problem
Pros
It is easy enough to update pages. Search functionality for users is decent.
Cons
Security isn't something the company takes very seriously. That has been frustrating. The way linking works is complicated and it is not intuitive how to point to your help articles from other places like intercom or support emails unless you know the special way to craft URLs. I would not buy this product again if we were starting over. We'll keep it due to the high switching costs of having to integrate another product and move all our documentation.

Response from HelpSite
Hi Pete, We are sorry and surprised to hear that you've been unhappy with HelpSite. It's a surprise because I just reviewed all of our past support interactions with your company and after every request it's seemed like your company walked away satisfied by our responses. This is the first time we are hearing from you about any issues! We absolutely do take security very seriously as a company and within our product. If you're looking for an additional security measures that can be implemented for private/internal help sites, can you please reach out to us at info@helpsite.com? We've got some new integration options that weren't available when you first reached out in 2017. Thanks for being a HelpSite customer and we intend to regain your happiness again!

HelpSite is amazing! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a knowledge base site
With HelpSite, we were able to build an easy FAQ site for our customers/stakeholders. It is clean, organized and easy to maintain.
Pros
It is easy to integrate with our existing software/programs and documents. Seamless.
Cons
The feature I would recommend is the option to shorten the URL name.
Reasons for choosing HelpSite
Functionality, ease of use and help desk feature.

HelpSite helped us make our knowledgebase "out-of-site"
Overall, we evaluated many different Help Desk/Knowledgebase solutions and choose to keep our help desk separate (for cost reasons) and use this knowledgebase product to get the biggest band for our buck.
Pros
Cloud-based and very easy to use, for the price you're getting a great package with easy to use tools that allowed us to take the management of the system off out of our hands and focus on creating great content that will help our users.
Cons
Integrating videos can be a bit cumbersome when trying to resize appropriately, while a native plug-in for YouTube is included, the default size for videos and how they appear could be a little more robust.
