Paligo in 1 minute: Quick video overview
See why Paligo is a great alternative to Schema ST4
User-friendly CCMS built for the cloud
While Quanos Schema ST4 and Paligo are both CCMS platforms, Paligo was built from the start as a modern cloud SaaS tool with a clear focus on making it the most user-friendly CCMS in the world.
Users today expect to have modern SaaS tools to perform their work, and it should be no different for technical writers. Paligo is a pioneer in being a native cutting-edge cloud platform for technical documentation.
It's currently the best web-based CCMS out there.
Publish to the modern channels you need
While most CCMS platforms (including Schema ST4) have multi-channel publishing in common, Paligo has taken it to the cutting edge.
Paligo publishes to all the standard output formats, like print/PDF and modern HTML5 web output, but also provides many more modern output channels, including the best publishing integrations with Zendesk and Salesforce on the market, as well as continuous deployment to GitHub, Amazon S3, and many more channels.
Paligo was so intuitive, with a few pointers we got onboarded very quickly.
