BlueSpice as an
alternative to XWiki
Both wiki solutions are powerful tools for enterprise knowledge management, but there are clear differences.
Administrators looking for a new software should research carefully. We compare BlueSpice farm and XWiki pro in the following.
Why should you choose BlueSpice?
XWiki and BlueSpice both offer organizations a solid, extensible, and proven knowledge management system that is very similar in many ways.
But while XWiki is a 100% in-house development, BlueSpice is based on Wikipedia’s Mediawiki software, making the latest developments of the world’s largest knowledge platform available to companies.
Another difference is the support for specific use cases. BlueSpice is not only a tool to operate a professional knowledge base or to create technical documentation. BlueSpice is also the place to organize all business processes.
The features of BlueSpice are accordingly extensive. It already includes professional tools for quality assurance, supports metadata and forms (Semantic Media), and provides a book function.
There are also differences under the hood: XWiki works with Java and implements Solr as a search engine, while BlueSpice follows the Wikipedia stack and thus delivers high-performance PHP software with OpenSearch (formerly Elasticsearch).
Last but not least, the tools work with different interfaces and each offers a specific look and feel.
