Slite - Avis

Useful and inexpensive wiki for my company

Commentaires : It's a great tool to centralize knowledge on my team, we have been using it for 3 years and comparing it with other tools like Confluence and Notion you get a lot of value for the price.

Avantages :

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

Inconvénients :

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)

My current daily driver after trying many other alternatives

Commentaires : Really satisfying experience with Slite so far. I hope the features I'm interested in will make it into the product but as it is now, it's a very productive tool for our academic laboratory.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

Stay away from slite.

Avantages :

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

Inconvénients :

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.

A Lovable Note Taking Application

Commentaires : I really like the product and feel an affection for it. It has been a great place to capture ideas and notes so easy. Don't feel any pressure to upgrade.

Avantages :

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

Inconvénients :

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.

Nicest note-taking collaboration tool

Commentaires : Apart from its limited 100 notes for the free version, its an incredible alternative to note-taking in e.g. google docs. And the structure of the notes could be better, but its all worth it when looking at the notes afterwards.

Avantages :

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

Inconvénients :

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

Helps me and my team get stuff done!

Commentaires : Communication between the team has improved as well as increasing productivity on projects that we are involved in.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

Nothing, the software has help to change team communication.

The best knowledge base with some outstanding features

Commentaires : Slite has helped me build a knowledge base that all my employees use and collaborate in with the greatest of ease.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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

Fun way to organize my teams content.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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

Awesome note taking app

Commentaires : Slite has made note-taking very easy for me. I can easily share notes with the whole team.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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

Slite finally helped me and my team to document our experience as a whole.

Avantages :

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.

Simple to create and read documents

Commentaires : Documents are simple to create and read and are kept as a central repository for knowledge.

Avantages :

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 ).

Inconvénients :

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!

Teams should start using this wonderful app

Commentaires : Collaboration using slite is a fun and hip experience. Our research team has found a hub where we work on our ideas and file them properly. Working with a team has been a breeze, and communication among our teammates are strongly encouraged because the way they made the dashboard is very easy to understand and familiarize. And lastly, publishing work, individual and collaborated, has never been this quick and easy.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

Decent Notion alternative

Commentaires : I use Slite primarily for document management, and organizing my notes. I occasionally use the Todo list and calendar options. It is a sleek, modern product, and has great potential for growth, provided it can break the Notion monopoly

Avantages :

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

Inconvénients :

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

Slite is great for company intranet news, faqs, and general procedure sharing.

Commentaires : Company really did a step forward on sharing news and releasing procedures.
From HR, to software development guidelines.
We are also tracking meeting and project notes for intra-organization summary reports.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

Roadmap, meeting notes, knowledge base, and so much more

Commentaires : Tried the other ones (including some more popular alternatives), wouldn't consider for a minute switching back. Slite is the simple, minimalist experience I was looking for.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

Simple yet powerful

Commentaires : Excellent experience, Slite is very useful to keep all my notes organized

Avantages :

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

Inconvénients :

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

Nice platform, with some annoying quirks that make it complex to recommend

Commentaires : Knowledge sharing within the organization, and easy WYSIWYS collaborative editing of design documents, post-mortems etc.

Avantages :

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

Inconvénients :

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.

Great Knowledge Tool for Start-Up's

Commentaires : I think Slite is excellent at organizing information and providing an easy wiki for your employees to find up-to-date information. I also felt that the collaboration aspect is very easy.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

We are already in love with Slite!

Avantages :

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 :).

Inconvénients :

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.

The best app I've found for documenting processes and sharing it with your team

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

Discovering Slite was love at first sight.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

Best notetaking softare on the market

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

Slite makes note taking easy

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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

Great product I am using currently

Commentaires : Make my work of managing docs easy and all at one place.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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

Good product!

Commentaires : Great product that moves ahead with great speed, would advise it to anyone that wants to organise and share his/her knowledge.

Avantages :

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

Inconvénients :

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