Slab Reviews & Product Details - Page 2

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.

The entire interface is very user friendly, with common elements and commands that I'm used to. This makes creating posts very quick and easy. There are many formatting options for each post as well, so you can separate out content and give it some visual excitement and hierarchy. Overall, the ease of use is probably what helped make this so widely adopted and successful within our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For all the options that are offered, I do find myself wishing for just a few more every now and again. I also continue to have trouble remembering how to tag other pieces of content, which is probably just on my end, but I wish the command for that was something super simple (maybe it is and I can't remember!)

Search function is very helpful and captures what I'm looking for despite potential misinputs or synonymous verbiage used in other departments.

Previewing hyperlinked documents by hovering over them, is SUPER helpful and saves me from click into a link only to find it's not what I was looking for & having to go back to the previous page and scroll down (minimal but it's nice!)

Super helpful that I can see the last modified date and also view who else is on the document at the same time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The simple highlighting key points with formatting is subtle but very helpful to reduce feeling overwhelmed by a wealth of documentation/knowledge.

Side note: Slab's CTO is really awesome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular! IMO if someone doesn't enjoy using Slab or doesn't find it helpful, it may be because they are not using it correctly / have not taken the time to learn how to use it to its full potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- I like the UI, I think it's pretty intuitive overall; not to cluttered.

- I like that I can work in "markdown" first

- I like the variety of "elements" and the ability to use key shortcuts to make them happen. Which I suppose speaks to the fact I don't have to use my mouse as much.

- I like the Activity feed, I have seen myself and others use it to keep tabs on whats new or has been updated

- I like that I can share documentation externally; we do this sometimes when integrating with external teams and partners

- Topic, Sub Topic, Post are great for organization

- The auto table of contents is awesome; it sometimes helps me ensure my titles and subtitles are properly set. H1,H2,H3 etc.

- search! works great

- The ability to add media is good

- I like that I can change the title of a post and the previous links I may have shared still work. excellent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The table element. I've had trouble in the past using it effectively. One suggestion, add "shift + enter" to auto-add a new row and move to it

- Can't think of anything more really Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use it as our company's internal wiki. It integrates with Github & Lucid chart well. Readme's in github generate slab posts. We make docs (product and tech plans) and get assign reviewers. We can see version histories, you can use markdown with handy forward slash commands to generate headers & tables (the tedious parts of markdown).

Subtopics and topics work well to group onboarding or project material together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Searching all topics across slab is good and they have a content map. However I still don't think it's the most intuitive or easy way to find things. Maybe a graph based view might feel natural? I'm not sure, but I feel like they could experiment further with this.

Lucid chart integration previews rarely seem to work well in slab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like that Slab can be well-organized in a hierarchical way and also searchable. All of our content writers and editors can access Slab to find shared sources we commonly draw from. It makes the research process easier when it comes to topics we cover frequently and want to provide a cohesive front on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I don't think I dislike anything about Slab. I suppose the initial Content Map page could look a little more pleasing. The font size seems small on the individual page headings and the scroll bars are a little distracting. But these aren't things I'd noticed prior to thinking about it right now when asked.

In our search for a software solution to help us organize our internal documents, we came across Slab. This user-friendly software has proven to be a valuable addition to our workflow.

Slab's intuitive design makes it easy for our team to find and access the documents they need. Its quick and efficient performance has helped streamline our processes, while the attention to small details sets it apart from other solutions we've tried. The software continues to improve, and we're looking forward to seeing what new features Slab introduces in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish they had better options with formulas in tables. For example, importing a segment of an Excel sheet with the ability to add rows, get averages, etc. Right now, you can only have tables with data / figures but no formulas. I also think they'd benefit from having more robust help desk articles to answer common questions without needing to reach out to their support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Slab to host all of our policies, how-tos, and wikis. We really appreciate how easy it is to write an article, embed images and gifs, and for our team to navigate through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've been using Slab for around a year and a half now. I'm sure there is more we can do with it that we're not utilizing. I'm not a huge fan of the sorting structure. There isn't an option to sort by age, so it usually jumbles my docs a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We love that it integrates with other office software like Google Drive and Slack, and that articles can be "nested" under several different tags. It's a great space to keep internal records on company standards, document templates, etc. to maintain consistency across employees and offices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The content map can become a little cumbersome when a given site has hundreds of articles written on it. If you have a lot of content and don't know exactly what you're searching for, it can be frustrating to navigate. The keyword search helps, but when you are searching for multiple words in succession, it will pull every article with any of the words typed, not just the entire phrase.
