About Tango

Tango is a commercial tool that captures a process as someone performs it and produces a step-by-step guide that can be shared with colleagues or customers. The idea is that the person everyone asks for help can capture what they know once, instead of explaining it repeatedly or writing manual instructions.

The vendor groups its product into three areas: documentation, for capturing knowledge; enablement, for putting guides where people work; and automation, for delegating repetitive work. It also offers an enterprise plan, a security page, customer reviews and case studies, a demo and a free way to get started.

Tango is a hosted software-as-a-service product with a pricing page. It suits operations, support, training and IT teams that need to produce and maintain process documentation and how-to guides quickly.
