Hi, all!

For those of you who work in organizations that do decent documentation, what are you using?

We currently just have a bunch of word docs in a SharePoint document library. I’ve previously used dedicated solutions for this such as Bookstack and Confluence. The company is very anti-Atlassian, so Confluence is out.

Just want to see what y’all are using as I search for a better solution.

Thanks!

    I recently migrated all our various Excel and Word documents from Sharepoint into a self-hosted Bookstack instance. I love it.

    I have one shelf for stuff like SOP, contracts, etc, and another for customer documentation.

      I love the look of ITGlue and one member of our team used it at several other orgs and loved it. It just seems pretty overkill with all the features since we have other platforms that handle the passwords/secrets/assets/etc. I do like the look of it though, and am considering it.

    For technical documentation, most of our teams are currently using Gitlab pages, however we are steadily moving to Backstage

      How is backstage? I look at it and feel perhaps we should just be using all the features of gitlab. Does it really bring something better to the table?

        Depends on how far you are looking to take it, I would say. Generally, I can see how a larger organization (around 500 people) can benefit from it, at the same time I can see how it can be a massive waste of time in other orgs.
