Paligo vs XWiki

Paligo is a cloud-based component content management system for creating, managing, translating, and publishing technical documentation and knowledge assets. Structured authoring includes topic-based content, reuse, variables, version branching, revision history, and workflow management. Teams can publish to PDF, HTML5, eLearning, and GitHub Flavored Markdown. Paligo says it serves organizations in software, manufacturing, and regulated industries managing technical documentation, policies, procedures, and other knowledge content. Listed integrations include Zendesk, Freshdesk, GitHub, GitLab, Amazon S3, Slack, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Phrase; some may require a separate subscription. A REST API supports external connections and task automation. Paligo states its information security management system is certified to ISO 27001:2022, and that service data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS. Business costs $15,000 a year, billed annually per author, from $15,000 per year; it includes two authors and two languages. There is no free plan, but a free trial is available. Upload integrations have a 500 MB limit, except GitHub at 100 MB; the general limit can be raised on request.

XWiki is an open-source enterprise wiki and knowledge-management platform for collaboration, document management and structured data. It can be used for knowledge bases, collaborative intranets, public websites and business applications, with publishing for internal or external audiences. Editors can work in wiki syntax or a WYSIWYG interface, while version control allows earlier pages to be compared or restored. Page rights can govern viewing, editing and deletion at the page, child-page or whole-wiki level. More than 900 extensions include applications, macros, skins, plugins and themes. Listed connectors include Active Directory, Office 365, Google Apps and OnlyOffice; a RESTful API supports integration with other applications. XWiki is available as a self-hosted installation or through XWiki Cloud. Its Community edition is self-hosted and open source; cloud plans list capacities from 25 users to unlimited users. XWiki Cloud's 10-day demo trial can be extended twice. Cloud service is hosted in France on OVHcloud and includes backups, monitoring, antivirus scanning and security maintenance. If storage exceeds a plan allowance, wiki actions may be limited to viewing pages.
