About Waybook

Waybook turns documents, processes, and know-how into effective and organized onboarding, training, and reference materials. This solution was designed by process experts to help businesses stay organized. The easy-to-use interface allows users to create documentation directly in the tool using two structures: Subjects and Documents. Subjects mirror departments or business functions, while the Documents structure reflects business activities. Each document is made up of a series of steps, digestible snippets of information, and media in whatever form is needed to best share core information. Customize access and permissions to playbooks to streamline collaboration, so the right people can view the right information for their role. Users can give team members access to ...

Finally Have My SOPs Organized Thanks To Waybook

Overall, I am very pleased with my experience using Waybook. I've been able to really integrate it with my business and find it very easy to quickly open and take down my steps/notes as I work. This will be a great asset to have as I scale.

PROS

Before Waybook, I tried building out SOPs in Google Docs, Notion notes, ClickUp notes, and even had random ones floating around in Notepad when I needed to jot something down quickly. I knew I needed everything to be centralized in one place. Then came Waybook! I really like the layout, which allows me to have a nice overview of all my top-level processes, then drill down deeper when needed. Having all my SOPs in one location is way better than having a Drive folder with Google Docs spread out. I haven't finished building everything out yet, so I am excited to eventually use Waybook for onboarding my team, tracking their progress, and testing out their knowledge. I can see this tool being very helpful for years to come as my business continues to grow.

CONS

I haven't run into any issues or things I don't like about this software. Dark mode would be helpful so I'm not blinded by all the white, but that's about it.

Reasons for switching to Waybook

I needed one tool with the single purpose of housing SOPs, wikis, and internal docs with the additional training features.

Vendor Response

John - thank you so much for your review and recommendation! Really pleased we could swoop in and help you consolidate your SOPs into a single source of truth. We can't wait to continue growing with you and your team Elle

Simple, quick-to-implement playbook/SOP software

The team behind the product seem passionate and responsive. The product stands for itself... we wanted something to train our team that was simple to deploy. Waybook definitely meets that requirement. I will recommend Waybook to my clients for sure.

PROS

It is super-fast to implement with almost zero training. The in-app support is responsive if you do happen to have a question. They keep the structure detailed enough to have the depth of indexing you might need, but also only three tiers or so deep. That straightforward menu structure helps it be more deployable.

CONS

There are a few features I would like to see, and may be coming soon. You can export, but I would like to be able to export more docs at the same time. I would like to be able to password-protect a public page.

Reason for choosing Waybook

Liked the layout and the ease of use. It is a bit more price competitive as well.

Reasons for switching to Waybook

Nimbus Note is a great product as well, but just not as simple in design. I found it did not get used as often because of this.

Vendor Response

Hi Spencer, Thanks so much for your review. So pleased you've found Waybook fast to implement and no training required. The dream review for us, as we've worked hard to get here! Some really great feature requests in there too and I'm pleased to confirm that they're on the roadmap already. I'll be sure to drop a tag on your account so we can invite you to early testing as soon as these features are available. All the best, Elle

Its OK at best

Experience is ok. Its easy to use and self explanatory

PROS

I liked that I have a lifetime subscription through APPsumo for a small amount to make it somewhat worth it. I like that we have a place to keep documents to refer to.

CONS

Its not meant as a functional process management system because you can't print from it. The documents are not formatted the way you would for printing so keeping letters to clients or employees is not possible unless you do it in pdf format, which is inconvenient because we always need to change the name, address, date, etc. We would like to keep templates in there for our processes but cannot.

Vendor Response

Hi Alla, Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that and appreciate you sharing this insight. I have shared this feedback with our product and am pleased to confirm we do support PDF exporting of content, which can then be printed. Here is a link to our help center article on printing documents: https://help.waybook.com/en/articles/6119058-can-i-print-my-waybook-documents Again, thank you for sharing this with us, and feel free to reach out to support with any further feedback or questions.

A fantastic tool you can't miss!!

Very good, totally recommended.

PROS

I like the easiness of Waybook, it is a very intuitive app and has the flexibility of inserting all types of content. You can even take quizzes to make sure people understood everything and get a track record of who see the procedures. Very, very good app. Totally happy!

CONS

I did not find any point to be unhappy but I'd like to see a near future the multi-language feature. We run 2 countries and it would be awesome to be able to publish documents in 2 different languages and any given user would see it for his language.

Reason for choosing Waybook

Waybook serves different purposes. We are using another tool to automate processes but Waybook is the tool where they get defined.

Reasons for switching to Waybook

We find Waybook more straightforward to be our single source of truth in that relates to company knowledge.

Vendor Response

Hi Nuno Filipe, Thank you so much for your review and recommendation of Waybook. I'm so pleased to see that you're finding Waybook to be easy to use. We've invested a lot of time into making sure our UI is simple and easy for you to get started without any need for additional platform training. Also really happy to see that we've been able to help you to consolidate your tech stack and centralise your important business processes and documents.

Overall, we are very happy with this purchase. It is user friendly and easy to track progress of training and documents. Waybook can house documents such as handbooks and company policies. It's been a great addition to our company resources.

PROS

We chose Waybook to keep our team members aligned with sharing of documents, policies and procedures and most of all tracking training by administration of tests.

CONS

We have not found a specific feature that we like least or Waybook should incorporate.

Reasons for switching to Waybook

To make things easily accessible and orderly.
