"Archbee the notion competitor"

4/5

What do you like best about Archbee?

It has been very comparable to notion as far as I have been using it. Many of my works require diagrams and it has a mermaid editor (to produce state diagrams, gantt charts, etc...). The fact that I can do that without busting my head with a GUI, but with mermaid makes my life considerably easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Archbee?

The major thing that I disliked was literally removed today. There were 3 panes, one more than Notion. It was becoming annoying and I was seriously reconsidering my use of Archbee based on that... but since they removed that third pane, it looks much more like Notion, bringing us right back to the theme of my review... they are very comparable.

One last thing that really irks me (occasionally) is the icon they have for users... mine is a cartoon looking tiger, like Tony the Tiger... even though he's great! But that's not the professional look I'm going for using this type of a tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Archbee:

Try it out, but don't get discouraged, even if it's not perfect. With their continuous maintenance and updating, it has really started taking on a clean and polished look with some very nice functionality.

The team is improving it, so give them a chance... and it already looks and functions amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Archbee solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to bring my team together to dump all their knowledge in one place. The use case is a standard use case for the software type.

I am able to divide out my knowledge and organize it so as to share it with my people in a structured manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solves a problem every company director has"

5/5

What do you like best about Archbee?

It's very simple to use, yet has all the functionality we need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Archbee?

Minor, but I would like the tags to be alphabetically listed or by theme. This would improve the time to tag those documents together. This is a good and bad thing. You can only store very lightweight documentation in the system, for example, videos. This has plenty of plus points such as keeping costs low but it does mean more time is spent on occasions by having to use two applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Archbee:

Reall y great product - that does a great job.

How can you have repeatable processes without a system for doing this? - Grab a trial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Archbee solving and how is that benefiting you?

For us -

Duplication of documentation

Versioning of Documentation

Letting VAs and Freelancers have easy and secure access to education and processes to allow them to run jobs

Access as and when needed by a large team with really low costs per head Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best I have used."

4/5

What do you like best about Archbee?

There are many features about archebee that make it alot better than the average wiki.

One of the most helpful for what I have used is the Callouts and checklists. This ensures you can focus on what is needed for the reader.

The integrations are also excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Archbee?

At the start there is a little confusion between workspace and knowledge spaces . However, to use this, you need to commit.

There could be a better authentication engine for guest or to make the knowledge base a subscription to others service. However, this many be misunderstanding on our end.

The feature i would like to see is one showing how the articles or docs map to each other. Or a way to customise how the docs look when downloaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for companies that need documentation, both for internal and external use!"

5/5

What do you like best about Archbee?

Archbee is simple to use, and has been a lifesaver for my company.

I have used it with my small team to create our coding standards, and explain why we did certain things the way we did. I can create easy to use documentations on the fly, and can always edit them if need to. I can also create teams, and make documents private/public.

It also has many great features such as:

1. Making notes and drafts

2. Useful templates (or create your own)

3. Tags

4. Search Engine

5. Custom Domain

Lastly, they have used ReactJS to build the front end, and the UI really flows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Archbee?

I have not come across anything that made my experience negative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Archbee:

Archbee is useful if you are a growing company who needs to maintain strong documentation.

If you are unsure, I suggest you try the trial and spend a day setting it up. Likewise, it would benefit you if you bring another team mate to work on it with you. This way you will have a second person validating its use cases for your company. You will most likely find out quickly if this is a useful tool for your organization anyways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Archbee solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem Archbee solves for me is organization of my code documentation and training of new employees/freelancers.

Before Archbee, I documented my code framework using Microsoft Word but it was time consuming to send them out to my employees. Now, I can just create one document on Archbee and share it with all to see. I can also allow my employees to create their own documentation and edit it, so its similar to Google Docs...

Similarly, I need to train clients regarding the platform I have built for them. Sometimes they have questions and instead of emailing me, they just search for it themselves or I can email it to them and have them bookmark it on their browser. That way, they don't need to ask me to email them the same document multiple times.

In conclusion, Archbee saves me time, allows me to be more organized and makes my company look more professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best Gitbook alternative on the market for IT professionals!"

5/5

What do you like best about Archbee?

What I like the most:

- ultra fast UI thanks to their robust infrastructure

- full fledge editor for taking notes

- and the best of the best: the diagram/schematic editor

- the native Mac OS and Windows apps

The biggest differentiator with Gitbook is that here you don't have to install anything to get all these cool libraries, all is included.

It's the perfect Documentation and Knowledge base tool for me.

Also the rich integration is a huge plus:

GraphQL, Swagger, Github Gist, Loom, Google Drive, Numeracy, Codepen, Mode Analytics, Slack, Airtable, Trello, LucidChart, Typeform, Mindmaster, Prezi, Miro, Invision, Figma, Framer, Abstract, Marvel, Google Analytics, Intercom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Archbee?

Nothing.

Would love a chrome plugin to snip quick pictures and add them to the docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great tool for internal SOP's & Docs"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Archbee?

Licensing structure, Intuitive interface, templates and modular approach to writing content with blocks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Archbee?

1. Lack of ability to securely provide access to an entire Doc folder to a team member, it's either the top-level Docspace or individual document.

2. Collaborative editing is buggy, two people can't write at the same time

3. The comment feature needs to be improved similar to Google Docs/Notejoy so client can comment on content and you can see it in context.

4. You can't paste in a list with links and preserve the links.

All of which are on the road map so once implemented this will provide a better project and client environment than Google Docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Archbee:

Vote up the missing features outlined above to turn this into a fully featured document management solution that would suit businesses looking for a collaborative document management solution for remote teams and clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Archbee solving and how is that benefiting you?

Internal SOP's and client delivery management for a marketing agency. Almost a more efficient/flexible document management solution than Google Docs pending the requests above. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Archbee is a clean, fast tool to quickly document business methods and archive project notes"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Archbee?

It has an uncluttered interface that makes it quick to capture notes.

It provides for blending text and diagrams to make capturing concepts & processes - either new project ideas or SOPs - pretty quick.

Keyboard shortcuts make the marking up of documents pretty quick - and the shortcut list is easily available to help speed up your workflow.

Diagramming tools - both flowcharting & the recently added Mermaid option - provide you with sufficient diagramming capability to not have to switch out to another tool.

The recent native app option - enabling you to access Archbee outside of your browser is a nice addition - although export to PDF using the native app currently has not worked for me.

The block editor is similar to WordPress's Gutenberg blocks. Working within both platforms with a similar editor look & feel leads to greater efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Archbee?

There is no export to docx at this stage.

Related to the above - while there are templates to assist with creating new documents, there is no option to format or brand the exported PDF. At this stage that leads to pretty bland exported PDFs. That's fine for quick working project docs, but if you want to share with clients, an option to create some export templates would be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Archbee solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm documenting key ideas that I have about my business - what to focus on now, and into the future.

SOPs - capturing methods - both as reminders for myself for tasks that I perform on an irregular basis, as well as for sharing with colleagues & clients.

Benefits - easily accessible from anyway. Comprehensive content easily created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for SOP and Knowledge base"

5/5

What do you like best about Archbee?

Easy to use, fast, clean. UI is very intuitive, even non tech users can easily use it. This tool is not trying to solve all of your issues, if you need centralised documentation hub, if you need to store documents in one place and if you need to onboard client and team members this is the right tool to choose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Archbee?

I still miss some advanced features like formulas and additional integrations with other apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Archbee:

You can set it up in a matter of minutes, fill the data and test it. Most likely you gonna love ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Archbee solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sharing knowledge with the team members, storing standard operating procedures... What is really great is that you can have internal base for registered users, but also you can share live links which are branded with custom domain. Basically you can use it for internal team education and at the same time for the clients outside of the organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great internal/external knowledge base"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Archbee?

We are migrating from 3 different wiki's and legacy knowledgebases that we where populating during the las 5 years to a One4All solution. So far I must admit the support is the main reason we stuck to this Archbee. We had some hickups. but support always replied fast and helped us solve the issues. Dev and Project management alike...all are full Ok with Archbee, so we are here to stay.

I am using mainly the MacOS application - like it alot.

+ swagger and other cool widget are already implemented so easy for me a PM to use.

lightning fast in comparison to Confluence Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Archbee?

Some catch up to do with missing feature like:

- marketplace to integrate other apps

- better Video integration (via iframes, Gifs) currently only youtube/vimeo is supported Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
