Slite

Pros

The ease of use.
The search feature is very good and intuitive
You can create rich documents

Cons

Sometimes is very heavy consuming computer resources
Less integrations than competitors (for example there is not a gif integration, you can't connect other apps like a BPMN tool)

Reasons for Switching to Slite

Pros

It does what most note-taking/knowledge management tools do. It can handle real-time collaboration as well as asynchronous discussion. I really make good use of the sharing feature, particularly for sharing a document publicly via a secret link for editing. This makes a zero-barrier way for other users to contribute, especially in one-off documents. In this way, users don't need to register for Slite to be able to edit a document you share (if you want to). This frictionless sharing has been so convenient. The Slite team is an agile team and I have interacted with them on numerous occasions to provide feedback and request new features, many of which they have quickly addressed. This kind of back-and-forth between myself and the team is a huge reason why I enjoy their product.Lastly, the cost is very reasonable. They have a very generous discount for non-profits and academics.

Cons

There are indeed some features that I'm hoping would eventually make it into Slite. So it's not perfect, but their dev team has been listening. I also have some performance issues with very long documents which I believe are being worked on.

Pros

I'm so upset with this company that I simply have nothing good to say about it other than it has a great UI/UX

Cons

I hate the fact that I have been billed for 8 months for a software I stopped using the first day. I deleted my account and they still bill me. There is no way to disable billing because the account does not exist and they do not respond to emails. Stay away from Slite.

Pros

Just so easy and intuitive and good value. Key features are not restricted from basic version and support is exceptional.

Cons

Copy and paste into other applications is not easy, as it loses some formatting . But I think this is common across other similar tools . I also wanted tasks to be built in, but this is not ready yet.

Pros

Amazing UX and UI, making it very satisfying to write in comparison to when using regular docs.

Cons

The fixed structure in folders and overall organization of the different notes could be better.

Pros

The simplicity of the interface as well as being able to integrate with Slack allows me to share info with the team as the industry we are in changes regularly.

Cons

Nothing, the software has help to change team communication.

Pros

It covers all the basics needed to make a knowledge base for a company but also includes amazing features like public pages or an AI helper and searcher integrated in the app.

Cons

The url names of the public pages could be proper words instead of random IDs.

Pros

I love Slite's smartphone application. It is beautiful to the eye(aesthetic wise) , lightweight and intuitive. I use Slite to organize my thoughts into notes ; while also being able to communicate with my team ,and follow their notes ; I receive notifications when they create new content.
The applause feature is similar to what is obtainable on medium.com and serves as a nice way to appraise a team members idea or content.

Cons

This seems to only appeal to the younger generation in my organization. Older staffs always try to avoid using it.

Pros

I use Slite every day to track my social media campaigns. It makes it very easy to share documents with colleagues and the distraction-free editor makes it very easy for me to focus on the content.

Cons

A Todoist integration could be very useful for sharing a specific labeled to-do lists with colleagues.

Pros

I like the fact it as a beautiful user experience, it's very intuitive and easy to the eye.
The pricing is better than the competition and specially the free version is very appealing for starters.
It's great for creating private and public documentation, for teams and at a personal level. Since the personal notes are infinite I actually also use it for some personal stuff.
The collections (like tags) organisation makes it very easy to find documents and specific notes.

In general, it makes the process of documenting stuff much easier and fun, which in turn makes our team more eager to do so, instead of seeing the process of documenting as a boring one.

Pros

Slite is an extremely user-friendly app, with all of the features you'd anticipate. I utilize the system to create content, interact with coworkers and consultants, and keep track of data. For these uses, it's an excellent editor (docs are simple to create and read) with very nice notification features that make it more beneficial than Google Docs (it is far easier to use ).

Cons

I don't have many complaints about Slite, and I'm certain that minor flaws will be addressed and developed over time. I would like to see is a gallery option where I can upload a big number of photographs for others to go over, or if there was a method to red-pen someone's work directly in Slite, which would be a handy tool for offering comments. Finally, this one should have integration with ClickUp!

Switched From

Pros

What I like best about Slite is you can work together with your team and collaborate on your researches and projects. But it isn't just another team-collaboration app, because they marry knowledge collection feature with team collaboration. Easy to add your comments and cite ideas that are worth pursuing. I also like that they have an export to pdf feature because we publish white papers most of the time, and it saves us time finalizing things on a separate tool by simply opting to export our collaborated work in pdf format.

Cons

The free version has a very limited number of notes, 100 to be exact. We got the premium and I guess it is worth it. Maybe they can have an unlimited number of notes, then add features like exporting to pdf and publishing notes with a link into the premium version. That way, more people get the full power of the tool and convinced to get the paid one.

Pros

Slite offers document organizing, storage and editing, alongside the modern productivity suite of integrated boards, calendars, todos and the like. It is marginally faster than Notion, given that its primary focus is on document management, rather than productivity suite. It also has cross platform support including mobile apps, window and mac apps and a Chrome extension

Cons

Slite is still new and lacks in features compared to Notion. It has a limitation in terms of number of documents (50 only), compared to Notion, which doesnt have a limit. it doesn't have an API and the community is also limited, meaning that customizability is minimized

Pros

It's a good tool for teams to create a knowledge base, as well as a one place to keep all notes & planning docs.

Cons

I don't like the collections/table feature, it's so different from Notion I can't understand how to use it.

Pros

User interface is nice and friendly. Different levels of accesses and permission enhances the power of the solution.
Content editor is also powerful and flexible.

Cons

I would like to have a better tree organization, also feature to select favorite items is not really friendly.
Sometimes speed to render is not really fast.

Pros

Slite is beautifully easy to use. I've tried A LOT of note apps be it both for personal and team use, and Slite never ceases to amaze me by its simplicity. We use it for everything from our roadmap to meeting notes to employee onboarding and couldn't be happier with how efficient Slite is: the editor is minimalistic and distraction-free, collaborative features make it easy to use even for a large team, and a few well-thought integrations go a long way to making Slite the single source of truth for the company.

Cons

The team ship a lot of new features, and sometimes it can be a bit disturbing to change your habits (where is the button?) but most of the time the positives outweigh the slight inconvenience.

Pros

You can have shared and private notes, markdown support, checklists, slack integrations. It is very easy to understand both for wiki-type notes as well as to do lists and day-to-day notes

Cons

It is a bit slow on mobile, and sometimes navigation is more complex than is should. However you can see progress as time goes by

Alternatives Considered

Pros

Cheap to start, easy to understand and work with, nice emoji support, continuously improving software.

Cons

Hard to copy/paste, not too much options for exporting/importing, formatting of code is just okay, no easy way to create things like FAQs or knowledge bases that are automatically updated, searchable and viewed by users of a specific team, etc.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Slite

Pros

I really like the experience and the design. It's easy to follow and the focus on user experience makes it an easy tool to implement and use. I also felt like editing capabilities are easy and it doesn't take a lot to build a great page. I think navigating other teams' content is also fairly easy. It's also SSO capable which saves so much time and SOC 2 and GDPR Compliant.

Cons

There aren't any huge issues that scream at me. It's mostly smaller things that need improvement that have a big aspect that resides within editing functionality and perhaps the ability to integrate more with other tools. I also think as a company grows and get's bigger, I'm not sure it's the correct tool.

Pros

We are a small team of seven developers and we already love Slite.

Before Slite we were using multiple Google Docs and Sheets files to manage our team notes, and Trello to write down decisions we made during team meetings. We would create a lot of files on Google and send links to each other using Telegram or email. It's OK if you don't have a lot of documents but after a few months of working it's became a pain in the ass to find some particular file (and it's actual, team-approved version).

On Trello we had this 'Notes' board, where we would put all the notes on product decisions and team meetings, but it quickly became overloaded with stuff and you would hardly find anything there.

That's why our team loved Slite so much. It's very simple yet powerful tool. I am not sure if there anything else like that. Probably yes. But we are absolutely satisfied with Slite and like that its team already reached out to us to gather our feedback :).

Cons

For now it doesn't support Russian alphabet that well but we have already contacted the team and they told is they gonna fix it.

Pros

Great design. Very easy to onboard your team mates. Allow you to easily organize your different notes. I use it myself for taking notes of every meeting. It's easy to write beautiful notes that people will love to read. The product is improving every week with new features added. The starting plan allow you to test the product extensively. The tool doesn't pretend to solve every problem and focuses really well on a specific issues (taking notes and sharing it with your team mates) which make it easy to understand, use and efficient.
The template provided are really a plus to get you started.

Cons

No real cons so far.
It still lacks some features (for instance an anchor system to point to specific sections of your notes) but the team told me it is already on the roadmap.
More detailed use cases with a focus on specific uses of the tool would be a plus maybe to help the team get even more out of Slite.

Pros

There was zero amount of user onboarding necessary this continues to be true as we discover new features. Everything is exactly where you would expect it to be and there are no cryptic icons or tedious steps to find what you need. The intuitive factor has exceeded my expectations. It's been interesting to see it's organic growth even within our own organization. We have yet to send an invitation to a team member that didn't explicitly request access. As we open the tool in meetings/screen shares, everybody is curious and eager to use it.

Cons

As with any young tool, there are a few usability issues that make it seem buggy. For example, sometimes when typing in tables, chunks of text mysteriously disappear as you type. But this is nothing command+Z can't handle.

Pros

Using this software is a breeze. Everything works as it should be, it looks great, it's intuitive and feature packed. Plus, the support team is very present, bugs are fixed quickly and updates are being pushed out very often with a clear roadmap.

Cons

I wish they could find a way to integrate a SMALL project management interface. I don't know how but if they find a way, they will truly have found perfection.

Pros

I love that this is not only a note-taking app but also a communication app. You can write out a note then flesh out the details by highlighting certain areas of the note that you want to discuss and then messaging your colleagues directly from the app.

Cons

There's no option for automatic sorting by note name — it's done manually.

Pros

Great UI and easy to navigate from the sidebar. It made me switch from Evernote. Love the way it recognizes code and SQL queries and differentiates them.

Cons

They need to remind the users to explore more features inside the Slite. Most of users don't explore all features.

Pros

I like the fact that note-taking becomes easier than ever before! The platform is super intuitive and they keep adding great features.

Cons

The organisation of the notes could be slightly better in my opinion.

Pros

Amazingly quick and easy to adopt.
UX is beautiful and it offers all the collaborative features we need at Mention.

Pros

We use this with our organization to centralize our knowledge management process, procedures, and documents. The tool does a great job of organization, editability, and has a great user interface.

Cons

There really aren't a whole lot of issues with the platform. We had a need to address and slite was able to do it.

Pros

We use this as an internal team documentation tool. It's way easier to keep everything organized than Google Drive. Its simple to use and has a great desktop app. Our team is a lot more organized! And all notes are clearly organized in a great interface.

Cons

There could still be more functionality - especially with tables. If advanced tables are something you need in your note taking app, this isn't a solution for you.

Pros

Slite offers a wide range of team leading and management tools. It holds communication tools but has an integrated knowledge database and file sharing capabilities. That is an outstanding feature compared to Slack and other communication tools.

Cons

The features are all great, yet for full features you need to pay a monthly or yearly fee. Still fine, though.

Pros

Slite is making note taking easy and became quickly a reflex among everyone. After the "Did you Google this or that", "have you checked Slite?" became the second most used sentence to search for an information.
Make it simple and people will use it. Slite just perfectly did it for note-taking.

Pros

Slite does everything Notion.so (another team documentation collaboration app) does, and more. Slite can integrate with pretty much whatever else you're already using from Trello, to Outlook and more. We had a really good experience getting Slite set up and configured to work with our already-existing itnernal processes.

Cons

While Slite is really feature packed, and offers a ton of customization, its' weakest point is the clunky/confusing user interface, especially when put up against a competitor such as Notion.so, who excels in this regard. At the end of the day, Slite will definitely take some time to get into, as the learning curve is a bit more steep.

Pros

- So easy to use!
- Beautiful user interface.
- Real time collaboration with team mates.
- Templates are provided to get you started.
- Free plan to try that supports 200 team notes to start, and then an addition 50 team notes per month.

Cons

- Early stages, still a few glitches here and there but can be corrected quickly.
- Currently supports Slack.

Pros

You can classify your notes, label it, interact with multiple people at the same time.
Ease of use with the keyboard, detection of link and bullets. Everything that makes a a note experience fluid and easy.

Cons

Sometimes you miss network being in a transport, so you don't have access to any local content. Can be frustrating sometimes.

Pros

- very simple to use and to structure notes
- capacity to share notes publically or privately
- word processor to present notes is really cool
- love the "clap" of notes

Cons

- there are no emojis to react in the comments
- "claps" are limited to a hundred
-

Pros

It's the easiest way to share notes with your team. Its use is very simple, has advanced options for edition but only what we need for notes, shortcuts (definitely these) and more.

Cons

There is no way to share a note outside my team with edition rights for now, with a public link for instance.

Pros

- Super easy to use
- Beautiful Design
- Produce and share a perfect-looking document in a matter of minutes

Cons

No offline mode - for now!
Can't open multiple documents at the same time - for now!
Some text layout options are still missing (cross-out text, color text) - for now!

Pros

Pre-made templates are a big help when writing documentation and knowledge base. It is a good solution both for small and large companies.
Sharing the documentation in many different formats is a plus - you are not tied to the platform.

Cons

The price can be challenging for small businesses.

Pros

Awesome user interface, very easy to use and navigate. Reminds me a lot of Quip. Great resource for small teams if trying to organize processes or documents. +1 for desktop app.

Cons

Somewhat limited functionality for free version, but works well enough for what we're currently using it for.

Pros

Awesome and totally modern UI/UX. The onboarding process is dead simple. The editor is beautiful. Writing is a joy on this app.

Cons

Their Mac app is not very smooth. Has jitters. No Android app till now.

Pros

All the documents are very well organised, it's easy to use and work in real time with my team mates.

Cons

It would be great to have comments for individual words / sentences like in Dropbox Paper. A mobile app would be also very helpful.

Pros

With Slite it is very simple to make a note, share it with other people. Its UX is brilliant! Good team, answers all questions immediately!
