I certainly wish the founder well, but I think there's a pretty low ceiling for how far you can go with something like this, because it goes against some of the biggest reasons organizations adopt Office 365 in the first place:
1. You're stuck with another subscription for a "one use" product. Even though MS products often suck, you get a lot of functionality for one reasonable price. You might argue "$3.50 per month is nothing". Well, you're not going to be using a wiki and only have one person able to make changes. Otherwise you'd create a page some other way. You're going to have to pay on a per-person basis for a wiki that they might edit only a couple times over the course of the month.
Carry that out to five years, and the math doesn't work.
2. You have to give your data to a company you don't know and storing it in an alternative location.
3. You're dealing with a second, small company you've never heard of.
- Terretta 6y agoPoint 2 is addressed in FAQ in a way that raises considerably more concern: Q: I am a corporate user, so I do not know if my IT or compliance departments would allow me to add Perfect Wiki A: We can help you with this! Perfect Wiki is the only one wiki for Teams with full-text search and export capabilities. It's hosted on Google Cloud platform and encrypts all the stored data, furthermore, we have applied for a government certification.
- jf22 6y agoYes, but that is still outside of IT's control. For my team to use this I'd need to be able to store the data in house.
- bachmeier 6y agoAll I can say is "good luck with that".
- jrwr 6y agoIf I'm dealing with ITAR Data, this is a show stopper, gotta be hosted in GCC-High or its not happening.
- zerkten 6y agoWhy not use Azure? Seems like it's more readily understood than GCP by Teams admins. I'd be interested in this wiki content showing up in other products within the suite.
- jimnotgym 6y agoWhereas Microsoft use regionally controlled storage for 365. I think the op is right, just another headache for IT. Sure I actually wasn't a better wiki, but not enough for another subscription.
