Accessible and Secure Knowledge Base
I have mainly used it to share information with different audiences, such as internal staff, external partners, or customers. It has helped me maintain the confidentiality and integrity of my data and comply with various regulations and standards.
PROSProProfs Knowledge Base allows me to control the access and visibility of my knowledge base. I can make it public or restrict it to specific users or groups by enabling the privacy settings. Single sign-on, password protection, IP restriction, SSL encryption, and two-factor authentication are some of the features I find helpful regarding data security.
CONSI have nothing to dislike but would appreciate even simpler context-sensitive help.

ProProfs needs to add features to their software to keep up with Thinkific
The training platform is very expensive for what you get and the quiz maker is equally expensive for the features it offers. The platform does not come with a website and many features are almost impossible to find as there is no clear direction to them nor is there a list of what the features are or where to find them. For example, there is a landing page, but in the 5 years that I was with ProProfs, I never knew it existed.
PROSI liked that ProProfs is very user friendly and it's easy to create courses or quizzes and add certificates and social media and email features.
CONSI did not like that it was very expensive compared to similar platforms and it does not come with a website. Managing the landing pages is difficult as it is almost impossible to find access. Many features have hidden access, not very visible and it's easy to forget where things are as a lot of features are not labeled.
Reason for choosing ProProfs Knowledge Base
I did not know that the other products existed at the time and the ones that I did find did not offer a certificate, which I needed for my product.

Perfect for Employee Onboarding
It has been a smooth ride since the day we started using ProProfs Knowledge Base. Employee training and onboarding is now less time consuming and more valuable for our workforce. Employees can now enhance their skills, subject knowledge, and increase their understanding of our work dynamics, with the help of our online training document.
PROSWe found ProProfs Knowledge Base immensely helpful as far as employee onboarding is concerned. It helped us create online training documentation that new hires can access conveniently to get acquainted with our work culture, policies, projects, and more. The best part is that it’s easy to use. Employees didn’t take much time to get familiar with the product. They instantly started using it to create and manage our training document.
CONSZero complaints as of now. The current features of the software are amazing. We’d like to see better features that can make the experience even more memorable.

Ideal for Customer Support Process
ProProfs Knowledge Base came as a breath of fresh air for us at a time when we were struggling with our support process. The speed at which we were receiving tickets was overwhelming to handle for a small support team. Our support system was about to crash, with the large inflow of tickets each day. That’s when ProProfs Knowledge Base came to our rescue. It helped us build a self-service help center for our customers to reduce the frequency of common and trivial issues and relieve our support team from ticket overload. And we are happy that we achieved this in a short time.
PROSProProfs Knowledge Base is a simple tool that scores high on its powerful features and third-party integrations. When we first started using the tool, we had no idea that it would be a no-brainer to use. The interface is very simple, and the tool integrates well with our current help desk tools. We use Freshdesk currently for help desk tickets. ProProfs integration with Freshdesk has further enhanced our support process.
CONSFrankly, we will have to use the tool for some more time to identify any possible faults in it.

With Contextual Help, user experience has improved a lot!
We were overwhelmed with support requests for common issues that could easily be solved. With contextual help, we have empowered our users to find solutions independently, significantly reducing our support workload and enhancing customer satisfaction.
PROSI like how the Contextual Help feature provides integrated assistance to our help site, making it an easy-to-read experience for our knowledge base. It helps our team understand complicated terms and includes additional information with tooltips, lightboxes, and popups.
CONSWhile the contextual help is extensive, there might be room for adding more tooltips or pop-ups.

Best tool for customer support
I was receiving a lot of complaints regarding my call support as customers had to wait on IVR for long time. So, I wanted to set up a help site for my customers and I came across ProProfs Knowledgebase. It was so simple to set up the site and I was able to use videos & images to visualize the help articles. ProProfs rules!
PROSI think it is a great tool for reducing expenses as customers can access helpsites and resolve their issues themselves without any hassles. Also, helpsites can be easily accessed from anywhere & anytime.
CONSIt served me all the purposes, so for me, there was nothing that I disliked about this product.

Security of content has always been a priority for us. ProProfs Knowledge Base has assured that our sensitive company information is fully protected. It offers excellent security features. Additionally, the tool is GDPR compliant, so we don’t have to worry about any security lapses.

We use ProProfs KB as the primary documentation platform for all our new Cloud-based products.
ProProfs KB is similar to much more expensive and complicated Help Authoring Tools, but extremely user-friendly, always available online, and can be used on any platform with a browser. The tool is very flexible for a variety of purposes, and can be used as simple FAQ/knowledgebase or complex enterprise documentation solution, as we've done. ProProfs KB is also extremely reliable, we've experience almost no discernible down-time over the two years of using them. The customer service is outstanding... very courteous and prompt responses to questions. And fixes and improvements are usually applied faster than what I've experienced with other SaaS vendors.
CONSFor the price/value, there aren't too many cons with ProProfs KB. There are a few quirks and some features don't always work as advertised, but we've usually been able to find reasonable work-arounds on our own or with help from support.

Perfect for Small Knowledgebases
For knowledge-sharing and documenting within our smallish (30+) team, this fit the bill for ease of use, as well as being very affordable. I compared many other similar software packages, this was the only one that gave editor rights to so many users for such a reasonable cost. I love wiki software, but the open-source standard "wiki" software has a learning curve to get a handle on formatting, linking etc. Avoid all that hassle by choosing ProProfs.
PROSOur previous kb software required users to arduously navigate to get to the editor; with ProProfs, uses can be editors, and with the click of a button enter "edit mode", quickly adding content or updating articles. Love being able to drag & drop photos and documents directly into the software.
CONSThere are only a limited number of canned layouts and color schemes to use; would like to see more variety of templates offered, but we found one that worked well enough.

Decent, but did not live up to the expectations
We chose ProProfs with the intention of creating a great KB site that will make the process of creating wiki's easy and fast. At first it seemed to be just that - simple to get around, easy to edit, however I have been experiencing a lot of formatting issues especially when using images that are becoming a time consuming hassle.

Looking for a good knowledge base system for my small business site, I decided to go for ProProfs Knowledgebase, and boy, did I get lucky with the very first tool that I tried.

Good tool for FAQ or internal Knowledgebase
We has a double-pronged use of a knowledgebase software like ProProfs. One was for creating an FAQ for our website, answering questions of our customers. The other was for helping our internal teams to share their knowledge with each other via an internal FAQ.
PROSI must say ProProfs of all the other help authoring tools we tried was the easiest to get started with. The editor is intuitive to use and creating pages was relatively easy and fast.
CONSI wish they extend the Forever Free plan to more than just 20 pages :)
