Looking to learn more about Document Control software similar to Almanac? Check out these popular alternatives that are closest in terms of key features, functionality, and benefits.
Pros
"It's like GitHub but for documents"
Overall: We use Almanac for our company handbook, which is quite important for an all-remote company. We also use it to prepare documents that need a review process, like client proposals, project roadmaps, board updates etc. For this purposes, it works beautifully. Where it currently falls short is export. Any layout that's "too fancy" will fail being exported.
Pros: The killer features of Almanac are version control, layering, and the (automateable) review process.
Cons: It's a young product and the product is definitely a bit rough around the edges. I have trouble getting it to play nicely with the Grammarly browser plugin, for example, and there's some weird behaviour when using layers and tables. The team is incredibly responsive about bug reports and feature requests, though.
"Helpful in controlling document version"
Overall: I love the experience with Almanac and the benefit that it has to simplify our document control process.
Pros: Responsive, simple to use, and adequately planned as a documents collaborator and knowledge base. The Github method tool makes "event-driven cooperation" on workflows viable. Documents are effortless to integrate and stay connected. I prefer that branches are tied to a document, and I never overlook the importance of where they're from. The processes facilitate collaboration with our staff rather than everything being in Asana.
Cons: I would like to have additional links with other programs to make our content fuller with clips, including Whiteboards, etc. Furthermore, notes are often hard to discern the contextual and what they have been linked to in the content.
