<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">It’s not cheap, and it certainly has its flaws, but it incorporates one feature that most (all?) other wikis don’t – hierarchy. You can organize information (pages) hierarchically like a directory
structure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The key here is that some people
<u>think</u> hierarchically, and some people don’t. For the hierarchical thinkers, a free-form wiki (i.e. most of them) is absolute hell to navigate, and you can still cross-link pages and use tags and categories, so the non-hierarchical thinkers are still
just as much at home as with other products.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Another plus, despite the cost, is you can host it on-site or in the cloud, depending on your needs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
