How often do you get a response on a support ticket within an hour? On Labor Day?!The folks at Echo KB has the support part DOWN! Also, their interface is easy to understand, have awesome flexibility, and has met my expectations 100%. Go buy this plugin!
12.08.2024
This is an amazing product with a large number of options and configurations to choose from. Even with all the options and configs they are presented in a way that is easy to setup and change as you get to know the KB better. And the visual editor for the configuration of the article page was a very useful way to immediately see the changes as you were making them. A well presented and thought out plugin
