  • Users say that Slack's implementation process is quick and intuitive, making it easy for teams to get started. Reviewers highlight the "super easy" initial setup, which allows for immediate productivity, while Slab, despite its strengths, does not receive the same level of praise for onboarding.
  • Reviewers mention that Slack offers a robust set of integrations, enhancing its usability in various workflows. Users find that these integrations optimize time spent on meetings and emails, a feature that is less emphasized in Slab's feedback.
  • According to verified reviews, Slab shines in its documentation capabilities, with users appreciating its ability to store company knowledge in one place. One user noted it creates "clean, easy-to-read documentation," which is a strong point for teams focused on knowledge management.
  • Users highlight that Slack's communication channels are particularly beneficial for team coordination, allowing for specific discussions without cluttering email inboxes. This feature is often cited as a key reason for its popularity among small businesses, which make up a large portion of its user base.
