Has been a great resource to quickly train employees and new hires, as well as a reference source for our team #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros How easy it is to embed video and spreadsheets, so that all the key materials are in an easy to find place for any given topic you want to access. #### Cons The word editing for slab pages is a bit clunky, but not game-breaking. Not that intuitive in regard to editing slab pages or sharing. --- ### I am absolutely in love with Slab a hassle free way to share documentation! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall in love with it. Very useful, easy to use and it provides a smooth UX. I would say "Thank you!" to the Slab team :) #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros - templates - document categorization - series just rocks and is such a great idea to introduce! - Content Map !! So awesome for quick access! - groups - perfect for quickly sharing a particular document with multiple team members #### Cons I do not have a con. I wish however there were more options for the Table of Contents feature. --- ### Good clean product with lots of room for improvement - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Utilities - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We use slab as an alternative to masses of google docs for internal notetaking, meeting agendas, etc. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love the ability to tag posts with multiple topics. This makes it easy to categorize posts that might fall into more than one category. Compared to a google doc this makes it much easier to organize things. #### Cons The table functionality within posts is still pretty immature and hard to use. At least you can link to google sheets, but sometimes this is not as nice as creating a table within the post. --- ### Slab has become a core part of how we do business - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Easy to get started, easy to use. You don't need a whole library of knowledge or even have thought about the perfect organizational scheme. Slab was a great tool for us when we were just getting started, has scaled with us nicely, and I can clearly see how it will scale with us further as we grow. #### Cons Weren't many integrations to start, but have been adding them at a rapid clip. --- ### A sleek and intuitive wiki tool with outstanding search and the best customer support - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It has been nothing but positive, and I wish Slab further growth and a ton of happy users! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Slab is extremely user-friendly and easy to set up. It took no time to figure out all of the conveniently laid out features and start documenting my team's knowledge and organizing it using Topics (labels). - The search is fantastic and extends to your Slack and GDrive if you give Slab the permissions; - The roles and permissions settings are very flexible and you can compartmentalize your information and give access only to the people who should see it. - The live chat support is the best I've ever encountered, and the overall customer service experience has been great: quick response time, helpful answers, positive attitude. - The product has been continuously developing and improving over the course of the 4 months I've been using it, and a ton of functionality has been added as if per my personal request addressing all of my team's core needs (private topics, topic subscriptions and others). #### Cons The only drawback for my team is lack of Gitlab integration, but I know it's a huge piece of functionality, so I hope as the demand grows it will be added. --- ### Great team wiki - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I’ve loved using slab as an engineering manager onboarding new hires, as well as a startup founder focused on product management. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The beautiful, intuitive, simple interface #### Cons Lack of permissions, which has recently been fixed with secret notes and guest access --- ### One of the best collaborative knowledge sharing products - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. No more permission issues or an admin blocking you from access a file, you just send your colleague an invite to the Slab post and you can start working on it together. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I find the real-time collaborative aspect great. The ease of single sign-on is great as well. You can easily import existing documentation from Google Drive where most of our documentation was. #### Cons I will suggest easier integration from Google Drive, when you import the documents, the structure of it is not great and you need to do a lot of work to make it look the way you want. #### Reasons for switching to Slab Permission settings was a hassle --- ### Really nice collaborative notes - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We use Slack and take notes on our own computers, usually using Bear. Before Slab, we would literally copy and paste the latest markdown from a specific note into a Slack channel or DM. Basecamp doesn’t offer collaborative notes whatsoever, and we got tired of not being in sync. Slab is our go-to collaborate note taking app now, and we use it constantly throughout the day on a number of software projects. It’s the only way we’d be able to keep in sync. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Markdown support and collaborative editing! We had previously used a tool named for mountain climbing, and editing text using their editor was horrendous. For a web tool made around teams, Slab does an excellent job getting out of the way when we start working. #### Cons It’s sometimes unclear at first what to do with projects and posts, since they nest inside each other. I also haven’t figured out if there’s a way to specify a default post sort for all projects (descending by modified time would be best). Both are very minor. --- ### Great alternative to Google docs - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We enjoy using it. We have tried other similar softwares, such as confluence, but Slab works better and has a better user experience and smoother flow #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Allows more interaction and building off of the work from others on the team. It serves as a great library of information and can be read through easily. #### Cons There are a lot of moving pieces and it can get overwhelming. --- ### Great decision to utilize Slab! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Christina H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We have had a great experience with Slab! They have been so helpful and responsive during our preparation in rolling this out to our team. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The design is very aesthetically appealing and design is easy to use! #### Cons So far, our team has not run into any cons for this software. Any issues we have run into has been fixed in a timely manner. --- ### Internal Wiki for Law Practice - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sumin K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. They have been responsive to my needs. Some of my product feedback was fixed and implemented very quickly. I appreciate the attention to customer feedback. The recent UX update is very nice as well. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It is an easy way to disseminate information to a broad legal team to make sure high value legal knowledge is not silo'd in individuals. It improves our overall efficiency as a firm. #### Cons One of our use cases is a Quora type Q&A. However, it is not easy to capture Quora like functionality. This would help make the product more dynamic for our purposes. --- ### Slab - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jakob H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Slab as a knowledge base is great - it allows for anyone in our organization to contribute and edit pages. It also has a very easy-to-use search function. #### Cons As a new user, it can seem a bit overwhelming at first. --- ### A well done documentation tool - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Arnaud L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Market Research - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We have been using it in the development team and actually use the tool rather than have stale google docs laying around #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Easy to setup (Google SSO is useful) Flexible organization (Wiki on steroids) Integrations that provide rich embeds #### Cons The editor can still be improved, without chasing coda it could do with improvements in things like handling external copy/paste, tables management, SVG support --- ### Slab is a modern area to sort your documentation and internal team information - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: James L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for free trial - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Inline editing is a sinch. Compared to software like confluence or other on-prem solutions, Slab's cloud product is lightweight and simple for exactly what you need it for. An intranet dashboard for your team, that's fun to use. #### Cons I think some features like adding an option to customize the logos/colors in the dashboard would be cool. Otherwise I like Slab's features. I think as it grows more features will get added that will make things even easier for handling team internal documentation. --- ### One of the Best Documentation Applications Available - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mat B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I use slab weekly for tech specs and working group documentation, or to find inter-company information and requirements. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love Slab for documenting tech specs, finding company documents, throwing ideas together prior to product management on Jira. It's just a really useful tool, and I really like the draft vs publish settings. It's very easy to use the interface with markdown and include images. #### Cons I'm not sure there's anything to dislike about Slab. Sometimes it comes down to external factors, such as not knowing where someone else has saved documentation. You can link to other apps like Google Docs, but it would be great to have better integration with other apps, or even conversion methods to take a document and import it into Slab. #### Reasons for switching to Slab Google Drive is a good tool, but too messy for company documentation. --- ### Slab changed the way our company creates and uses documentation - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Carl N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Slab is so easy to use and has just the right amount of features to be everything you need, but not a lot of extra features that get in the way. From setting it up, to getting the team onboard, to adding new articles, to searching articles, everything works as you would expect without having to figure anything out. It's simple and easy to use, and we enjoy using it more and more. We are a web development firm and provide website maintenance services, so Slab contains everything from company policies to detailed technical documentation for solving specific problems, and it has worked great for everything we wanted to document. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We love how easy it is for everyone to create and find documentation. We tried many different systems to store documentation, but Slab has worked really well for everyone in the company. The integration with Slack makes it so much more convenient than always having to go to yet another system. We can frequently answer each other's questions with a Slab article, and when we can't, we try to create the Slab article right then and respond to the person with a link to the newly built article. This has allowed us to better expand our documentation and stop repeating the same questions. #### Cons There are only a few minor things we found that would be nice such as the ability to attach files right to an article rather than having to upload somewhere else and linking to it. We also looked at other systems that had checklists which seemed like a nice feature, but we realized we wouldn't actually use that feature. Neither of these features has even been missed as we've been using Slab for months now, and the more we use it, the more we like it. --- ### Sleek, Intuitive, Blazing fast, and great customer support! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Daewon K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I was looking for a reasonably priced knowledge management service that works well with Korean. I've tried many services in the past, and I had a lot of issues with search, export and sharing. Atlassian's product was overwhelmingly feature-rich. It is a very nice product. But it wasn't for our team. Our team needed a simple product that is not so hard to use, and works well with Korean./ Slab is awesome in that it does the basic things just right. It is easy to write, find and share contents. I think it even presents very nicely. I was very impressed by Slab team's customer support. They responded quickly to my questions and were very friendly. When I requested a feature, the team kept track of my request and sent me a mail a month later reminding me to check out the feature that I requested. I am not working for Slab nor am I related to their team by any means. I am leading a small IT system admin team in Korea, (less than 15 people) and I found Slab while I was searching for a knowledge management system for my team. I tried more than 5 solutions in the past 2 years. Slab was my pick. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros - fast search (it's really fast and precise) - fast rendering of pages - renders markdown in a very pleasing way - an auto-generated table of contents is a great feature - awesome customer service. #### Cons It's still actively developing. Things might change here and there. Integration still has rooms for improvement. I hope it supports integration with more on-premise solutions like NextCloud, and Mattermost. --- ### Excellent alternative for creating a wiki or corporate knowledge base - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Bruno C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Research - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It is the tool that I selected to create the knowledge base of the research team to which I belong. We have been using it since the beginning of 2020. Very useful for academic or business use. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Very organized, clean and elegant interface. Very easy to write articles, to organize knowledge. The same article can belong to multiple topics. Pleasant to use for reading and writing. Individual pages can be shared publicly. Good cost-benefit. #### Cons The main weakness is that there are many competitors in this niche, in particular Notion and Coda.io. Competitors have more integrations via API, features and allow embedding a greater number of file types. --- ### Slab is a great choice for Markdown-based team documentation - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kate W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We are solving the business problem of a lack of documentation. We didn't have much in the way of documentation prior to using Slab. Slab has helped us compile most of our docs and information into one easy-to-access, easy-to-use central repository. We have realized benefits with on-boarding especially -- there's a lot of information we keep in Slab that isn't "ASAP must-reads" for new hires -- but that stuff is definitely still helpful for them to absorb in their first few weeks. Having a place where they can explore the documentation on their own, at their own pace -- it has been very valuable. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros - Simple, Markdown based docs. You can copy-paste from a Github repo if you were originally using that to store your information -- or vice versa, if you decide your Slab docs would be better off living in a README. - Sensible export with usable file-names -- no platform lock. If you don't like Slab, you can leave very easily. One click of a button grabs all of your documents in Markdown format and sticks them into a Zip file. - Congratulatory thanks messages on your posts are a nice touch that helps you feel as though your docs are actually being used when someone thanks you for them - Organization/team/user settings are simple and they just work. Don't have to play with a billion permissions to make sure users can read and edit docs. Inviting new users is very simple. #### Cons - No warning/success/failure/note pull-blocks to emphasize certain information. That said, I suggested it to Slab's customer support team, and they said it is on the roadmap! - Tables are not so good -- but Markdown tables in general are very simple, so this is more a Markdown limitation than a Slab limitation. - Image handling is not so good -- you don't get to set alignments or text wrapping. Again I think this is a Markdown limitation rather than a Slab limitation -- you are trading the Markdown simplicity for some table and image control. --- ### Useful tool in managing documents - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kristen C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Warehousing - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Slab is helpful in storing, sorting, and sharing documents with team members and clients. #### Cons Sometimes the vast amount of documentation can be overwhelming. But the search feature is super helpful in overcoming that! --- ### Functional but needs more features - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Geoff B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Slab will be a useful tool for us to share information internally. Updates are coming, but the updates page (https://updates.slab.com/) doesn't seem to be updated in sync with releases and updates don't seem too frequent. I look forward to monitoring the direction the Slab team takes their software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros My favourite things about Slab are: - integration with Google Drive (including searches). - searches don't just bring up where the term was found, but also highlight it in context. - calendars, spreadsheets, and other documents can be embedded into documents. - ability to add guests. #### Cons My least favourite things about Slab are: - it can be hard to know what to read and how to read it. - images cannot be embedded inline with text. - email addresses are not automatically parsed into mailto: links. - there is no find and replace (within a post nor system wide). - ordered lists cannot have paragraphs in between (without restarting the numbering). - when cross-referencing other posts (by typing + to bring up the contextual menu and then starting to type), there's no easy way to link to a heading. - there's no feature to check for dead links. - when tagging teammates, it only uses their full name (there's no way to enter just their first name or put a shortened ID via one's profile). - screenshots are outdated on their website (so what you see there isn't what you see in your account). - there does not appear to be any document versioning. --- ### A great tool to store knowledge for your organization - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Taylor H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We were looking for a durable place to store team knowledge that everyone could search and contribute to. We experimented with a dozen other platforms but Slab was the most feature-complete and easiest to use of the bunch. The team is small but their response time and customer service is excellent. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It's easy to use with a wonderfully simple interface. Very easy to teach to peers and get them contributing in no time. The ability to search Slab, Slack, and Google Drive all at once is a lifesaver. #### Cons It can be a little bit difficult to visually navigate between the different topics. The interface is very minimal so it's out of the way, but not exactly beautiful. --- ### Much Better Than Confluence - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jon C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My team finds that Slab meets our needs MUCH better than Atlassian Confluence. We made up our minds to make the switch only a few days into our trial. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Slab just WORKS. It achieved our major requirements: * Live-updating for collaborative note taking (especially helpful in meetings and interviews) * Access restrictions: some of our knowledge needs to be accessible only by certain users * Great cut-and-paste: this was especially helpful in transitioning from Confluence, and in aggregating knowledge from other sources * Reasonable pricing * Stable: it just works! A huge shift from Confluence, which was constantly broken #### Cons I miss columns and more advanced layouts, but they are not mission-critical. I *really* miss embedding PDFs. Slab lets you upload images... but that's it. No other files. I REALLY hope this changes soon. --- ### Most affordable for a small company just getting started with a knowledge base program - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Katrina J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Legal Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We are solving the problem of how to document processes/knowledge base. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It does the basics of making searchable recipe cards for how to do things, including uploading documents/files #### Cons There is nothing I don't like. I am sure programs that cost a lot more do more but this is a starter option for a small company #### Reasons for choosing Slab Other products were just too expensive for a small company. --- ### Slab was down for an hour due to some fire or windstorm something weird and I could hardly function. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sam C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Whenever a vendor or person who doesn't work here uses our slab they have decided to implement slab at their company. Every. Time. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros easy and clean way to store your teams information. integrates with most everything. we work with a lot of vendors, and slab is by far the easiest way to onboard them with all the info they could ever need. #### Cons you need a champion. to speerhead getting onboarded and practicing regular hygeine. one you get over that initial internal user adoption bump tho, (i undestand this will sound weird) but people will get addicted to making sure your companies info and policies are correct. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/collaboration/slab-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Slab Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
