Clean, Reliable, and Efficient
We've been using Basepress Premium for about 5 years to supplement our primary documentation with a knowledgebase that's integrated with our SupportCandy helpdesk. I have nothing but good to say about Basepress. It's well designed, both from the end user's and content provider's perspective, has all the functionality we need, is reliable, and was updated within days in the rare case of a security vulnerability being discovered. 5-stars!

Excellent tool, great support!
Very good plugin, exactly what we need. One of the view kb plug-ins which really support multiple kbs. Support is excellent: fast and good.

Support not Responding for Months
We have the paid version of BasePress and frankly in the last months our experience has been disappointing. We found several severe bugs in the plugin, we contacted their support and they never replied. Inacceptable. We will have fork the plugin and do the support ourselves if they do not reply.

So far so good!
I've configured this for a client website, and it looks great! The design is clean, and it's very well organized. Also, got some good customer service for an issue I was having.

Quick support, efficient plugin
We've been using this plugin for several years to manage our company's business knowledge, with great success! The combination with SearchWP is perfect.The plugin is updated regularly, keeping pace with wordpress developments without any downtime. The rare little bugs have been corrected very quickly, and some of our feature requests have been integrated.
