>Since our company started using XWiki our corporate knowledge is safe. It is really easy to use, flexible, straightforward and powerful. There is no excuse not to register our day by day discoveries in it. We share documents and wiki pages among the staff, replacing old pseudo-collaborative tools. And the search is amazing! If you need something more specific, there are extensions with zero effort to aggregate - they are just a few clicks away from you. We had ZERO problems with it. I highly recommend adopting XWiki.

And this system is EASY to use ? the ability to upload images, the migration from MediaWiki (while was somewhat manual was made easier by the fact that XWiki supports most of the MediaWiki syntax.)
