XWiki
Paris, France
What it is
XWiki is a wiki-based collaboration platform for organizing knowledge and building shared working practices. Its editor supports WYSIWYG and in-place editing, attachments with previews, comments, annotations, notifications, and complete change history. AppWithinMinutes lets users create structured pages and forms, while filterable livetables help browse the resulting data. XWiki lists more than 700 ready-to-use extensions and hundreds of scripting-language APIs. Enterprise capabilities include Active Directory and LDAP connections, single sign-on, office document import or preview, PDF viewing and export, and data imports. Pro connectors cover Google Apps, Office 365, OnlyOffice, and Active Directory and Azure Active Directory SSO apps. XWiki Standard is open source and free, with cloud or on-premises deployment. XWiki Cloud includes setup, hosting, upgrades, maintenance, backups, security updates, and 24/7 monitoring, hosted in France on OVHcloud infrastructure. Organizations can self-host to control access, integrations, hosting, and data residency. A free community plan is on-premises; paid plans start at €1/user/mo, with a trial of up to 30 days.
