- 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.
