Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Support Knowledge Manager

Weighted verdict

Owns the knowledge base of a Dutch SaaS company with customers in six languages and a support team of twenty-five. Writes once for agents and customers, publishes the public part as a help center on the company's own domain, and watches which searches find nothing. Wants review dates that nag the right expert, translations kept in step with the source, a widget inside the product, and articles that show up in the help desk next to the ticket.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Editor, structure & search

How this is scored

How knowledge is written, organised and found again: the editor (rich text, Markdown, tables, embeds, diagrams, code blocks), templates, spaces or collections and a page tree, linking and backlinks, real-time co-editing, comments and mentions, page history with restore, full-text search across pages and attachments with filters, search inside the chat tool, and AI answers that cite the pages they draw on.

0 — Not a wiki or knowledge base; pages cannot be written, organised or searched with it.

3 — Pages with a rich-text editor in folders or a tree and a basic search; templates, history, co-editing and attachment search are basic or not described.

5 — A rich editor with tables, embeds and code blocks, templates, spaces or collections with a page tree, real-time co-editing with comments and mentions, page history with restore, and full-text search with filters.

8 — Search across attachments and connected tools, backlinks and a link graph or related pages, diagrams and Markdown both supported, AI answers that cite their source pages, search from Slack or Teams, and a template library with variables or page properties.

10 — Finding knowledge as a solved problem: search quality and how AI answers are grounded explained in published documentation, answers limited to what the reader may see, multilingual content with linked translations, and every page reachable within a stated structure from one place.

Report an error

The Support Knowledge Manager

The captured pages show a page-and-database editor with teamspaces and subpage trees, @ mentions linking pages, synced blocks, a 30,000+ template gallery and filtered search, plus AI search that matches meaning across vague titles and Enterprise Search reaching into Slack, Google Drive and GitHub. What holds it short of the top anchors: we found no public information on backlinks or a link graph, attachment search, or AI answers that cite their source pages — and for my multilingual help center, no linked translations of a page are documented either. 1 2 3 7 14 15

Report an error

Verification, ownership & freshness

How this is scored

Whether the content stays true: page owners or experts named per page, verification with a review date and a reminder when it lapses, approval or publishing workflows with drafts and reviewers, read confirmations for mandatory pages, analytics on views, searches without a result and stale pages, duplicate detection, archiving rules, and an audit trail of who changed and approved what.

0 — No way to see who owns a page or when it was last checked beyond the edit date.

3 — Page history and last-edited dates; owners, verification, approvals and content analytics are basic or not described.

5 — An owner or verifier per page, a review interval with reminders, a draft and publish step, page view statistics, and archived pages kept out of search.

8 — Approval workflows with several reviewers, read confirmations for mandatory pages, analytics on failed searches and stale content, duplicate or outdated content flagged automatically, and an exportable audit trail of changes and approvals.

10 — Governance that a regulated organisation runs on: controlled documents with versioned approvals that meet a named standard (ISO 9001, GxP), expiry and review enforced per space, knowledge gaps reported from searches and AI questions, and every published statement traceable to an approved version.

Report an error

The Support Knowledge Manager

This earns its keep for a support team: pages can be marked verified for a set period, and when verification lapses the page owner is nudged in the Notion inbox and by email, with verified pages surfacing higher in search and AI answers. Page analytics show total and unique views plus who created, edited or viewed a page, Enterprise adds admin content analytics and an audit log that can feed a SIEM, and a published article advises mining query data for high-volume searches with no satisfying result. We found no public information on approval workflows with reviewers or read confirmations for mandatory pages, and duplicate or stale content handling appears as advice rather than an automated feature. 1 5 14 16 17

Permissions, SSO & administration

How this is scored

Who may see and edit what, and how the administrator keeps control: roles and permissions per space and per page, restricted or private pages, guest and external access, groups synced from Azure AD/Entra ID, Google Workspace or LDAP, single sign-on (SAML, OIDC), SCIM provisioning, two-factor authentication enforced, an audit log of access and permission changes, and admin controls over sharing and public links. Where the data is hosted and certifications are scored under sovereignty.

0 — Everyone in a workspace sees and edits everything; no permissions of any kind.

3 — Admins, members and guests, or private and shared pages; per-space or per-page rights, SSO and an audit log are basic or not described.

5 — Permissions per space and per page, guest access with limits, single sign-on through Google or Microsoft, two-factor authentication, groups, and admin control over public sharing.

8 — SAML or OIDC single sign-on with any identity provider, SCIM provisioning or LDAP and directory group sync, enforced 2FA, an audit log of views, edits and permission changes, IP or domain restrictions, and permissions honoured by search and AI answers.

10 — Access control an enterprise auditor accepts as documented: granular roles with inheritance explained, just-in-time and external access with expiry, every access and permission change logged and exportable to a SIEM, and the permission model published with its limits.

Report an error

The Support Knowledge Manager

The permission model is documented down to six levels from full access to can view, with teamspace and page-level rights, subpage inheritance, guests who need their own Notion account, link expiry and a request-access flow — and the quirks are published too, such as guests being excluded from SAML login. SAML 2.0 single sign-on with any identity provider (Business and up, up to 25 configurations on Enterprise), Just-in-Time provisioning, SCIM user and group provisioning, admin roles and an audit log exportable to SIEM or DLP are all evidenced. We found no public information on IP or domain restrictions, and enforcing two-factor authentication across the workspace is not documented as an explicit admin policy. 1 5 10 18 19

Report an error

Help-center publishing & integrations

How this is scored

How knowledge reaches people outside the editor: public or password-protected sites and help centers with a custom domain, branding and SEO controls, an in-app widget or contextual help, ticket deflection in a help desk, multilingual publishing, integrations with Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, Google Drive, help desks and CRMs, a browser extension, a documented REST or GraphQL API, webhooks, and an MCP server or connector for AI assistants.

0 — Content cannot be shared beyond the editor and nothing connects to it.

3 — Sharing a page by public link and a few integrations such as Slack; a branded help center, an API and webhooks are basic or not described.

5 — A published site or help center with custom domain and branding, integrations with Slack or Teams and Google Drive or Microsoft 365, a documented API, and embeds of common tools.

8 — A help center with SEO controls, multilingual publishing, access for logged-in customers and analytics, a widget or contextual help inside the customer's product, help desk integration with ticket deflection, webhooks, and a connector or MCP server for AI assistants.

10 — Knowledge delivered wherever it is needed from one source: internal and public audiences served from the same pages with per-audience rules, a complete API with SDKs and rate limits stated, a marketplace of integrations, and every channel measured in one report.

Report an error

The Support Knowledge Manager

Publishing to the web is real: any page becomes a Notion Site with a custom domain add-on, branding and logo removal, editable SEO title and description, search-engine indexing, Google Analytics and embeds of published pages into other sites — behind it sit webhooks, a documented API with a JavaScript SDK, a marketplace and an MCP server for AI assistants. But the help-center gaps matter for my use case: the captured pages state password protection is not available at the moment, and we found no public information on multilingual publishing, an in-product help widget, or help-desk ticket deflection — Jira and Slack are present as integrations, not as a deflection flow. 3 5 9 20 21

Import, export & self-hosting

How this is scored

What arriving and leaving would cost: import from Confluence, Notion, Google Docs, Word and Markdown with structure, attachments and links kept, a full export of every space in an open format (Markdown, HTML, XML, PDF) with attachments and history, an API that reaches all content, a stated migration path from Confluence Server or Data Center, open-source code under a named licence, and a self-hosted or on-premise edition with its own documentation.

0 — Content cannot be imported or exported; it can only be read in the vendor's interface.

3 — Single pages export to PDF or Word and some files can be imported; a full export, a Confluence import and self-hosting are basic or not described.

5 — Import from Confluence or Notion and from Word or Markdown, a full workspace export to Markdown or HTML with attachments, a documented API covering pages, and a stated retention of data after cancellation.

8 — A Confluence migration tool or service that keeps hierarchy, permissions and attachments, a full export with history in an open format, a self-hosted or on-premise edition with installation and update documentation, and data returned or deleted on termination under stated terms.

10 — The customer owns the content end to end: open-source code under a named licence that runs fully self-hosted with feature parity stated, a complete export another tool can import without loss, and the deletion of every copy on termination documented.

Report an error

The Support Knowledge Manager

Arriving is well served: a documented Confluence importer covering cloud and server instances that keeps hierarchy, attachments and comments (permissions explicitly must be reapplied), plus Word, Markdown, CSV, Evernote, Trello and ZIP imports with published size limits. Leaving is honest but not painless — a full workspace export to Markdown, HTML and CSV with uploaded files, even schedulable via the admin API on Enterprise, though the documentation says a workspace cannot be recreated by re-uploading an export, comments only export in HTML, and we found no public information on page history in exports. We found no public information on a self-hosted or on-premise edition. 6 7 9 22 23

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where pages, attachments and search indexes are stored and processed, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, CDN, search, email, support, payment, and the AI model provider that reads pages for answers and summaries, with whether content is used for training). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; a wiki holds internal processes, customer data and trade secrets, so the whole chain counts, not only the database. A self-hosted or open-source edition the customer runs on its own European servers counts as the customer's chain, whatever the vendor's seat.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.

3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.

5 — EU data residency available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (CDN, search, email, support, AI model) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard, or EU residency is limited to the higher tiers.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with their locations including the AI model provider, no training on customer content stated, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated — or a self-hosted edition documented that keeps every page on the customer's own servers.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor including AI, or a self-hosted open-source edition with no call home, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.

Report an error

The Support Knowledge Manager

The chain is unusually transparent: a published subprocessor list with locations including the AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic and Google all marked Global), a data processing agreement covering EU and UK GDPR, repeated commitments that customer data is never used for training, and SOC 2 Type 2 plus ISO 27001 and its siblings. But the contracting entity is Notion Labs, Inc. of San Francisco, data sits in the United States by default, and EU residency is an Enterprise-only opt-in on AWS Frankfurt or Ireland that excludes account information, usage data, Calendar, Mail and anything processed by subprocessors including the LLM providers — so even a resident workspace's AI features run outside the region. 2 8 10 11 12 13

Report an error

Pricing transparency

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per user and tier, readers or guests free or charged, minimum seats, which features (SSO, SCIM, audit log, verification, help-center publishing, custom domain, AI answers, EU data residency) cost extra, the free tier and its limits, storage limits, the self-hosted edition's licence and support price, minimum term and setup or migration fees.

0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call.

3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but how cost scales with users, readers or features is unclear.

5 — Tiers are public with their price per user and main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (SSO, AI, readers or guests, EU residency, the self-hosted edition) is unpriced or "on request".

8 — Every tier priced publicly with its scaling rule (editors, readers, guests, storage), add-ons priced, the self-hosted edition's licence and support cost stated, minimum seats, term and VAT treatment stated.

10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given number of editors and readers and a feature set, with every add-on, AI credit, setup, migration and support fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.

Report an error

The Support Knowledge Manager

The pricing page is granular: Free at €0, Plus at €9.50 per member / month, Business at €19.50 with SAML SSO included, guests free but limited to pages they are invited to (ten on the free tier), per-member AI credits with overage at $10 per 1,000 monthly Notion credits, and a custom domain add-on at an additional $10 per month or $8 per month on annual billing, per domain. What stops me computing a real annual cost: Enterprise — where SCIM, the audit log, EU data residency (free of charge there) and premium support live — is Custom pricing, and we found no public information on minimum seats, minimum term or VAT treatment. 5 8 21

Where this could be wrong

Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 1 Nov 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
Weak sourcing — Legal entity. The address appears in the Privacy Policy contact block rather than an imprint or commercial register entry, and no register number is given.
Weak sourcing — Hosting location, Hosting options, Data processing agreement. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.

What we left out
