It doesn't have too many features (meaning we don't pay for features that we don't need) . It doesn't require almost any settings at the beginning - you can start using it right away. The structure is easy to change later on how you need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI is not the best - when I am doing some things for the first time (or even second) it takes me a while to find it - it's hiding at the place when I usually don't look. Unfortunatelly it's not just me problem - when we want others to use slab we need to create quick image manual for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the search functionality and being able to search across different tools. I also love tagging multiple topics to posts and the deep linking of posts. Additional points go to linked posts popping up while in the active Post you are in, so you don't need to open a million tabs if you don't want to. Lastly, the shortcut formatting with the slash is really nice once you get used to it. I actually wish other doc editors had this feature as well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were a way to more easily track documentation requests from other team members. Almost like a ticketing system or similar on what could be updated and where. And a more enhanced view of expired verification posts with more filtering. (Like saved filter views, so you can quickly jump back to your items to update). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love that it has a Chrome extension so I can search our knowledge base from any app. Easy to use, low learning curve, good formatting features. The embed features makes it easy to find your Google Docs & Sheets that get lost or overlooked and helps provide some context around what the doc or sheet is used for. It has been a game changer for getting all of our company knowledge into one place that is accessible from anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do wish it had more collaboration features (besides the comments). I would love to see a feature where user edits or additions are tagged as belonging to that user in addition to being available in the revision history. Maybe by paragraph or section so that as a user adds content, another user can "respond" within the document and anyone can easily see who wrote what. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slab is easy to use and navigate, which is a huge help when searching for a one off question. Slab is an easy way to share information and updates, and also ensures employees are given the same resources / information across the board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At this time, I have no complaints. One thing that may make Slab even better would be to have an option to make an edit to an existing Slab article - maybe a "draft" that other employees could confirm the information is correct and the draft can be made permanent. This will help identify disconnects in communication / processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slab is an excellent tool for minting decisions and being a single portal for all kinds of resources. Its seamless integrations with many tools (Github, Height, Google Docs, etc.) make it an excellent tool for collecting raw notes and minting them in a single place. Its verification feature is underrated as it helps keep our company's documents as fresh as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Slab could work on its collaboration functionality a little more. Having more than five people editing a Slab document can be painful - there are some concurrency issues to iron out. I also think making tables in a document is a little awkward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having a single source of truth - instead of having articles and how-to guides spread around various Google Docs and Excels, they can all just live in Slab.

Also, has really useful functionality for linking with Slack and Github, making it a great one stop shop when trying to find answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a huge amount to say here, I think you get what you put into it. For example, if contributers aren't actively tagging pages and making sure they are correctly connected to others then the usability goes downhill. Users need to be bought in and understand best practices for using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love the ability to add articles to multiple places, set knowledge owners and schedule knowledge verification to ensure accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't integrate with other Microsoft Teams in a way that would make it easy to access knowledge from within MS Teams. As such there is inertia to adoption in the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the very clean composition interface, including the handy tools for inserting markup language into my documents. Co-authoring is very easy; a great place for documentation to live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest downside to Slab is simply the abundance of composition or co-authoring features in other software tools that my company just happens to use already. For example, we started using Monday.com recently to do our sprint reports and task management. Monday.com has a very nice composition utility for creating and sharing written instructions/notes/engineering documents that rivals the core value proposition of Slab.

After discovering this, I immediately wondered if I had too much of a good thing and ought to cancel one of my many business tool subscriptions because they overlap in certain ways (Monday.com/Slab/Github/Slack...the list goes on). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unlike Confluence, it's much more akin to Notion/Coda in that the UI/UX is super streamlined to create/edit/comment docs easily.

The search functionality is excellent as well, especially if you pair it with their Slab Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/slab-for-chrome/nfkdkjjhioogcpdklmkocdhmjcpdflgg

The Content Map is surprisingly good too for quickly perusing documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if a user could create sub-directories under their Favourites. Over time it has become an unwieldy looooong list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's just so easy! It's simple to get set up, simple to teach others and intuitive to organize. We're a startup, and it's important to me that we lay the foundation for asynchronous communication out of the gate. Slab has made that process seamless! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've struggled a bit with guests permissions for contractors. It's a little bit confusing/not so easy when you need to invite contractors to multiple pages and they haven't accepted the first invite. It's almost as if every invite to a page (or permissions given to a page) overrides the last. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
