“Powerful, customisable system that needs careful setup to avoid wasted time”

Oct 29, 2025
It took a while to set up a meeting with the CSM, but when I did it was useful. My role is to set up a new content management strategy and revise all 1200 existing Q&As. The tool is useful, and I could see fairly quickly how it should be set up (and where my team when wrong the first time, leading to so much mess) but I didn't find the 'timesaving' tools to be much use. ie deduplication, copy and merge. It just didn't find duplications beyond 'exact' duplicates, so I ended up doing a lot of it manually which was time consuming.

I like the structure, how you can use a range of strategies in your content management, all customised to your own needs. Customisation is everything.

It's easy to navigate after applying filters

Dislike

The time it takes to set it up. We had 1200 items already in there, and clearly it hadn't been set up well as I have had to go through all of them. I wanted this to be a bit more seamless - helping me find duplicates more easily than it did. As it stood, I had to do that all manually, which was time consuming. Self inflicted as we didn't set it up well from the start, but time consuming all the same. I'd like to be able to 'keep' the original items after they were merged. I was working as a consultant so I needed to have a record of what I changed, what I deleted. I tended up update one and move duplicates to another collection, so there was a record. This meant I couldn't use 'merge' functionality. Anyway, just another consumer of time. Some kind of history of each update would have been great for this. I found 'sections' annoying - they only seemed to relate to projects, yet they appeared in the menu when I was updating the library. This was annoying as they didn't seem to have any relevance at all to the library.

Dislike

Lack of AI feature, user interface is not freindly

Dislike

AI Response section in the Content Library is affecting the page loading time as well as the answer generated by the AI often provide wrong product answer.
