Benefits

Top reasons to use Tiki

  1. A confident and future-proof choice
  2. A vibrant community
  3. Tons of features
    • Over 1,500 unique features/options making it the Free / Libre / Open Source Web Application with the most built-in features
    • Ideal for most use cases, such as Collaboration, Publishing, Commerce, Social networking, Office productivity tools, E-learning, etc.
    • Has the breadth and depth to most likely address your specific needs as it has been developed through the collaborative work of hundreds of contributors for over 14 years.
    • Part of WikiSuite, a server, web, mobile and desktop apps suite with a concerted effort for greater interoperability and security.
  4. Features are built-in
    • No need to research, choose, download and install additional modules/extensions/plugins: There is no feature duplication. All the features are built-in, collaboratively maintained by the community, so you avoid the pain of abandoned modules/plugins/extensions.
    • Everything works with everything: The whole community collaborates on the features instead of having modules/extensions/plugins which may have incompatibilities. Turn everything on and it will work.
    • Quick timely upgrades: When a new version of Tiki comes out, you can upgrade right away and all the features are available.
  5. Interoperable
  6. Open Collaboration: If you need a new feature, join the community and let's work together. If you are a developer, check out How to get commit access
  7. Innovation: For the latest and greatest and quick access to new features, use the rapid release cycle, with 2 new major releases per year. No other major web applications has had more major releases. On average, developers update the code (with new features and fixes) a dozen times every day.
  8. Stability: For a super stable system with very few changes: Use the Long Term Support (LTS) versions, which is supported for 5 years.
  9. Performance: Via Tiki-powered communities, we find and address performance bottlenecks. Ex.: tiki.org has over 20 000 user accounts
  10. Security: The Tiki Security Team is responsible for reviewing security vulnerability reports and to proceed to a pro-active audit at each major release.
  11. Adaptable Look & Feel: A very powerful templating engine and CSS allows total customization of the site appearance.
  12. Easy hosting: Tiki is a mature application and is vastly deployed on shared servers. It is widely tested in all kinds of configurations and offers many benefits for a hosting company.
  13. Easy install: You can use the "1-click installers". All the features, languages, etc. are available in the basic install.
  14. Easy to configure: All features/options are activated from the web-based control panel. Profiles are available such Small Organization Web Presence, Collaborative Community, Company Intranet, etc. are available for a fully configured site in a few clicks.
  15. Adaptable: By default, only a small number of basic, commonly-used features appear in the control panel. As your needs grow, you can also display advanced and experimental features/options.
  16. Easy upgrades: Upgrade from any past version to any supported version in one step. (so you can upgrade from 2.x to 17.x)
    • No need to deal with diverse release dates of core software vs modules/plugins/extensions
    • The "1-click installers" also support upgrades
  17. Predictability: The Version Lifecycle is well-defined so you can plan ahead for major upgrades
    • Service providers and institutions can make multi-year plans with realistic total cost of ownership (TCO) estimates.
  18. No lock-in: Community supported, no single entity (project or vendor) that has disproportionate weight in the project's direction.
  19. Free / Libre / Open Source software: Licensed as LGPL, Tiki is free, both Free Software (as in "Free Speech") and Free of Charge (as in "Free Beer")
