Common Questions

Document360 vs Slab: FAQ

Enterprise Capabilities

Q: Is Document360 SOC 2 certified?

A: Yes. Document360 holds SOC 2 certification and is GDPR compliant, making it suitable for enterprise procurement processes that require baseline security attestations. It also supports SAML SSO and audit logs. Slab is GDPR compliant but does not hold SOC 2 certification, which is a significant gap for enterprise IT and security teams conducting vendor reviews.

Q: Does Slab support SSO for enterprise identity providers?

A: Slab supports SSO only on its Business plan, which requires contacting sales for custom pricing. The Free and Startup plans do not include SSO. Document360 supports SAML SSO across its enterprise tiers. For organizations that require SSO as a standard security control, both platforms make it an upgrade, but Document360's enterprise tier is more explicitly designed for it.

Q: Which platform has better content governance and approval workflows?

A: Document360 is clearly stronger here. It includes multi-step approval workflows, audit logs, and role-based access control — the three pillars of enterprise content governance. Slab has no approval workflows and no audit logs, which means content can be created and published without any review gate or activity trail. For regulated industries or organizations with formal documentation governance policies, Document360 is the more suitable choice of the two.

Choosing the Right Tool

Q: Can either Document360 or Slab serve documentation to multiple clients from one platform?

A: Neither Document360 nor Slab offers multi-tenant portal architecture. Document360 supports a single knowledge base per project with custom branding, but it is not designed to deliver separately branded portals to multiple client organizations from one managed instance. Slab is internal-only and has no external delivery capability at all. Organizations managing documentation for multiple clients or customer segments should evaluate platforms built with multi-tenancy as a first-class feature.

Q: Is there a better alternative to both Document360 and Slab for enterprise documentation?

A: Docsie is purpose-built for enterprise documentation requirements that both tools leave unaddressed. It offers multi-tenant portals (one knowledge base delivering to unlimited branded client portals), SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA-ready, SOX, and ITAR compliance, real-time compliance monitoring, air-gap deployment on private infrastructure, a built-in LMS with certifications, and autonomous agents for touchless documentation workflows. Unlike Document360, Docsie publishes transparent pricing and supports self-serve onboarding. Unlike Slab, Docsie is built for external delivery, AI-assisted content creation, and enterprise-scale administration.

Q: How does Document360's pricing compare to Slab for enterprise teams?

A: Slab publishes its pricing openly — $6.67/user/month on the Startup plan (annual), with a free tier for up to 10 users and custom pricing for Business. Document360 discontinued its free tier in November 2024 and now operates entirely on quote-based pricing requiring sales contact, with no published rates. For enterprise teams that need cost predictability or want to self-evaluate before committing to a sales conversation, Slab's transparency is an advantage — though its feature set doesn't match Document360's depth at the enterprise level.

Deep Dive

How Document360 and Slab Compare in Detail

An in-depth analysis across the four pillars of enterprise readiness — security and compliance, scalability and performance, administration and control, and support and SLA.

Security & Compliance

Document360 holds SOC 2 certification and GDPR compliance — the baseline security posture most enterprise procurement teams require. It supports SAML SSO, audit logging, and role-based access control. Slab is GDPR-compliant but has no SOC 2 certification and no audit logs, which are typically non-negotiable in regulated industries. Neither tool addresses HIPAA, SOX, ITAR, or other vertical-specific compliance frameworks. For organizations in healthcare, finance, or defense, both platforms require supplemental compliance controls that aren't native to either product.

Scalability & Performance

Document360 is purpose-built for external knowledge bases and scales reasonably well for growing documentation teams, supporting multiple projects, language variants, and integrations. However, it lacks multi-tenant portal architecture, meaning enterprises serving multiple clients must manage separate deployments. Slab is optimized for small-to-mid-size internal teams and shows its limits at enterprise scale — no API access, no custom domains, and no external delivery capability constrain its growth ceiling. Neither platform is built to serve documentation across hundreds of clients or product lines from a single managed instance.

Administration & Control

Document360 provides the more complete administration toolkit: multi-step approval workflows, audit logs, SAML SSO, custom branding, API access, and role-based access control give IT admins meaningful governance levers. Slab's administrative controls are minimal — SSO is locked behind the Business (custom-priced) tier, there are no audit logs, no approval workflows, and no API. For enterprise IT teams that need to enforce content governance, onboard users via identity providers, and generate activity reports, Document360 is the clear winner of the two. Slab trades administrative depth for simplicity.

Support & SLA

Document360 is a fully sales-led platform with dedicated support available, making it better positioned for formal enterprise procurement with SLA commitments. Its sales-led model also means buyers can negotiate support tiers. However, pricing opacity and the lack of self-serve purchasing can slow enterprise evaluation cycles. Slab offers priority support on the Startup plan ($6.67/user/month) and dedicated support on Business, but its lightweight support model reflects its product positioning as a simple, low-touch wiki rather than a mission-critical enterprise platform. Neither vendor publishes explicit uptime SLAs on their public-facing documentation pages.
