PBworks
What it is
PBworks is an online collaboration platform for teams that need to capture organizational knowledge, share files, and manage projects. It brings wikis, documents, and files together in a searchable hub, with task management, content collaboration, social software, and management reporting for project work. PBworks lists partner and client collaboration, business development, project management, social intranets, and knowledge management among its uses. Its audience includes advertising and marketing agencies, law firms, education, and businesses more broadly. Files can be accessed by phone, computer, or tablet, and the platform is available on the web, Android, and iOS. Its API documentation covers files, folders, workspaces, pages, search, users, and tasks. Business workspaces include physical security, encryption, user authentication, and application security. IP allow and block lists are limited to paid business customers; traffic encryption applies to paid products except Public Edition. PBworks says customers retain ownership of their data. There is a free plan; paid plans start at $20/user/mo, and custom pricing is available by request.
