I love them, but I also find it nigh-on impossible to fight the corporate need to CONTROL them in useless ways. They tend to want complicated permissions structures and stuff like that which end up ruining the wiki idea under a pile of red tape.
The general response seems to be:
a) use ingenuity; deflect them into controlling trivial stuff
b) fait accompli; get it up and running on a small scale without any of that, and use inertia to roll it out elsewhere unchanged
