Not that intuitive in regard to editing slab pages or sharing. > > Has been a great resource to quickly train employees and new hires, as well as a reference source for our team ----- ### "I am absolutely in love with Slab a hassle free way to share documentation\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *2 March 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - templates - document categorization - series just rocks and is such a great idea to introduce\! - Content Map \!\! So awesome for quick access\! - groups - perfect for quickly sharing a particular document with multiple team members > > **Cons**: I do not have a con. I wish however there were more options for the Table of Contents feature. > > Overall in love with it. Very useful, easy to use and it provides a smooth UX. I would say "Thank you\!" to the Slab team :) ----- ### "Good clean product with lots of room for improvement" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 April 2019* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the ability to tag posts with multiple topics. This makes it easy to categorize posts that might fall into more than one category. Compared to a google doc this makes it much easier to organize things. > > **Cons**: The table functionality within posts is still pretty immature and hard to use. At least you can link to google sheets, but sometimes this is not as nice as creating a table within the post. > > We use slab as an alternative to masses of google docs for internal notetaking, meeting agendas, etc. ----- ### "Slab is a great choice for Markdown-based team documentation" — 5.0/5 > **Kate** | *26 March 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Simple, Markdown based docs. You can copy-paste from a Github repo if you were originally using that to store your information -- or vice versa, if you decide your Slab docs would be better off living in a README. - Sensible export with usable file-names -- no platform lock. If you don't like Slab, you can leave very easily. One click of a button grabs all of your documents in Markdown format and sticks them into a Zip file. - Congratulatory thanks messages on your posts are a nice touch that helps you feel as though your docs are actually being used when someone thanks you for them - Organization/team/user settings are simple and they just work. Don't have to play with a billion permissions to make sure users can read and edit docs. Inviting new users is very simple. > > **Cons**: - No warning/success/failure/note pull-blocks to emphasize certain information. That said, I suggested it to Slab's customer support team, and they said it is on the roadmap\! - Tables are not so good -- but Markdown tables in general are very simple, so this is more a Markdown limitation than a Slab limitation. - Image handling is not so good -- you don't get to set alignments or text wrapping. Again I think this is a Markdown limitation rather than a Slab limitation -- you are trading the Markdown simplicity for some table and image control. > > We are solving the business problem of a lack of documentation. We didn't have much in the way of documentation prior to using Slab. Slab has helped us compile most of our docs and information into one easy-to-access, easy-to-use central repository. We have realized benefits with on-boarding especially -- there's a lot of information we keep in Slab that isn't "ASAP must-reads" for new hires -- but that stuff is definitely still helpful for them to absorb in their first few weeks. Having a place where they can explore the documentation on their own, at their own pace -- it has been very valuable. ----- ### "Slab has become a core part of how we do business" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 March 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to get started, easy to use. You don't need a whole library of knowledge or even have thought about the perfect organizational scheme. Slab was a great tool for us when we were just getting started, has scaled with us nicely, and I can clearly see how it will scale with us further as we grow. > > **Cons**: Weren't many integrations to start, but have been adding them at a rapid clip. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/101267/slab?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/101267/slab) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
