What XWiki is
XWiki is a wiki-based collaboration platform for organizing knowledge and creating structured content. It includes a WYSIWYG editor, in-place editing, attachments and previews, comments, annotations, notifications, and change history. Teams can use AppWithinMinutes to make structured pages and forms, then browse data in filterable livetables. XWiki lists more than 700 ready-to-use extensions and hundreds of APIs in its scripting language. Enterprise integration features include Active Directory and LDAP connections, single sign-on, office document import or preview, PDF viewing and export, and data imports. XWiki 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 and on-premises options. XWiki Cloud includes setup, hosting, upgrades, maintenance, backups, security updates, and 24/7 monitoring, on infrastructure hosted in France. Organizations can also deploy on their own infrastructure to control hosting, access, integrations, and data residency. A 30-day trial is available; the pricing note lists paid plans from €1/user/mo.
