Support for standard Wiki markup language

Improved content editing capabilities
Wiki Plus provides an enhanced Wiki and HTML WYSWYG. The Wiki Plus editor facilitates the production of high quality web pages.
- Wiki content templates
now you can create various wiki page templates for different content requirements - simple as creating a WORD template! - Easy management of file attachments
Want your wiki page to include file attachments? No problem! Use the Document manager to upload and link to any documents in a single operation. Embedding of object such as tables, pictures, symbols, time and date - powerful and flexible - Insertion of web links either freely or from pre-prepared lists
Complete Tagging Solution
Wiki Plus includes a SharePoint Tagging Feature that provides you with a complete tagging solution for the wiki pages. Some of the capabilities are:
- Tag field type
- Tag Cloud
- Tags Index
Support for RSS feeds / Email alerts subscriptions
Users may subscribe to an RSS feed/email alert about added and changed pages. Any page addition or update will generate an RSS feed/email alert.
Page-level discussions
Users can create a discussion thread that is automatically connected to a wiki page, by simply clicking the "Discussions" button:
Content lifecycle management
This WikiPlus feature enables the content owner to define the desired expiration date for each Wiki page. When the page is about to expire, the page owner will receive an email alert informing him that the page is about to be expired. The owner will then have the option to confirm expiration or set a new expiration date.
Advanced reporting
Wiki Plus provides a set of usage reports, based on actual wiki pages creation and updates. Authorized Users (those who belong to the "Knowledge Trustees" group) can access the wiki plus reports through the "Wiki Pages" Actions menu. Administrators can access the Wiki Plus reports through the "Site Actions > Site Settings" menu.
User reviews
Big Miss - not worth what they are charging, there not inter
They have admitted this was a big miss in functionality but they are too busy to get it implemented :) Maybe next year they say unless we want to pay for it. I wont pay for it. we'll get it there ourselves and not bother renewing the maintenance. Wishing I didnt buy it.
Product Reviews
good luck getting your metadata from the sharepoint wikis over to a wikiplus library.. they just dont bother bringing it.
Excellent Wiki Solution!
We have used the product for over 2 years now. All in all, is a great product. Had to ask for the support team to assist and guide at the beginning, but the team is very helpful and professional.

The ONLY true wiki solution for SharePoint
Those looking for wiki solution in SharePoint knows the OOB Wiki in 2007 and 2010 is a (bad) joke.
We have been using this tool on 2007 and recently upgraded to 2010.
Our users ARE wiki users - they work with other wiki solutions, they use wiki markup and not just rich text editors.
If they are happy - I am happy.
And with this product, they are very happy.
Support: We had few issues, none were major. We got workarounds within few days (2-3) that we are happy with.
We did not have any major issues with this product, and the vendor releases updates regularly, which is making support plan a good investment.
Product Reviews

Amazing Return on Investment.
Great attempt overall, but need finesse and follow
The company has a respectable product line but the products need more features- especially when the next release of SharePoint will be replacing the core features offered by the WikiPlus.
Product Reviews
The vendor has not discussed or released a beta of their WikiPlus for 2010 for us to use in testing the upgrades of our database.
Powerful wiki with a ton of features
We purchased wikiplus for use in our internal sites so that indexing and distribution of information could be deon more easily. Our site is comprised of a main team site with many department subsites (ie. HR, IT, Accounting). It was easy to install and upgrade and we found that it worked extremely well.

Support Is Awful
If you need the features of this wiki, they are great when they work. Just don't expect a lot from support when something goes wrong.
Product Reviews
Powerful wiki with tight integration
We purchase the Kwizcom wiki for use on our internal collaboration sites for departments, communities and projects and for the price it can't be beat. Many other wiki products are much more expensive and they require you to stand up infrastructure for their product and then there is information passed back and forth between SharePoint and the other wiki. This one leverages SharePoint Site Collections, Sites, Lists and can be activated using features as any solid and true SharePoitn bolt on should be.
Product Reviews
- Tight integration with existing SharePoint environment
- Strong support for wiki markup and very solid editor
- Some minor bugs with it but we were able to work through them
