President and COO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It's like GitHub but for documents" September 21, 2023 5.0 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. Alternatives considered [Notion](https://www.capterra.com/p/186596/Notion/) Reason for choosing Almanac We didn't need the powerful database features from Notion but we did need the version control, access control and layer/merge features from Almanac.

With roles and access rights we make sure the right stakeholders access the correct documents. Version control, commenting, and built-in reviews processes help with collaboration and structure. Cons I'm missing rich data tables and Kanban boards. The personal note taking and task management capabilities aren't yet as good as the comparable niche tools. Alternatives considered [Coda](https://www.capterra.com/p/193164/Coda/)[Confluence](https://www.capterra.com/p/136446/Confluence/) Switched from [Notion](https://www.capterra.com/p/186596/Notion/) Notion was too unstructured and too expensive Review Source BE Brian E. Owner/Operator Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Almanac \*\*\*\* Marketing Tool" June 29, 2022 4.0 Very satisfied though I will not be able to afford any of the premium plans at this time. But wish I could. Pros It is very expertly organized, has a free plan good for start-ups and newbies. User friendly, various planners for shipping, meetings, inventory etc. It is also fast, sleek and customer service is very quick to respond and friendly with their explanations. Cons Limited free plan, a few too many features which I have no use for. Review Source Brent G.

Before docs were all over the place in random people's drives and not shared with the right people. Now that they are in Almanac, it's super simple to see who has access to what, and change permission levels as needed. We've started using Almanac for our weekly meetings as well and assigning tasks for follow-ups. The Inbox page helps keep me on track of what I need to do and what tasks I've assigned to others. Pros It feels like the best of Google Docs (real-time collab, great doc editor) with the power of a project management app (tasks and workflows). The ability to create groups makes it really easy to share docs with lots of people, but control permission levels. Cons I would like more integrations with other services to make our documentation richer with videos, embed Miro boards, etc. Also comments are sometimes hard to tell the context and what they are attached to in the document. Switched from [Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/) Docs got lost all the time, permissions were a pain to wrangle Review Source TS Tyler S. Director of Customer Experience Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Early Days" May 4, 2021 4.0 Outstanding value, core features unique in the market: I feel like our team will have the documentation home base we’ve been missing. Pros Fast, easy to use, and appropriately scoped as a document collaboration and knowledge base. Git style version control really makes “asynchronous collaboration” on business processes possible. Cons It’s early days and there are still some edges of the software that need improvement Alternatives considered [Notion](https://www.capterra.com/p/186596/Notion/) Reason for choosing Almanac Value to price ratio Switched from [Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/) Google docs version control and organization features are barely functional.

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.

The different sharing permissions make it easy to share with in the department but also cross departments as well password protect and share outside partners. Cons There isn’t a con I can think of. It’s a growing company so there are places to improve and they are very open to feedback. Review Source Hailey F. CoFounder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Documentation made easy" June 18, 2021 5.0 Overall I'm very happy with Almanac. All of our documentation is finally in one place that can easily be found, adapted, and kept up to date. The similarities to Github for branching make it really easy for our engineers to understand and use. Pros Documents are easy to link together and make connections. I like how branches are attached to a doc so I never lose track of where they are. The workflows simplify collaborating with our employees instead of everything being in Slack. Cons Importing documents is a bit of a pain, I wish I could just drag and drop Google docs or Notion pages in. The tables are pretty lacking compared to Notion but we don't use them that much.

CEO Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Game changer for remote teams" April 29, 2021 5.0 I believe every remote, distributed team should adopt Almanac. It makes asynchronous work meaningfully simpler. Pros Almanac is like Notion, but fast, and with their git-like branch features, it's built for all users to feel empowered to suggest changes to company documentation. Cons I can't complain. The team is continuing to ship meaningful improvements every couple of weeks, and that's all I can ask for. Review Source MN Mindy N. Analytics Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Understanding Tech Space" April 21, 2021 4.0 Pros experts in the industry contributing templates and advice in professional resusable templates as well as social aspect of the platform Cons coming from Analytics/ML background, would be nice to have a Data/Analytics category since this is what supposedly drives companies these days. Lot of complaints from my colleagues is that it is a not-so well-defined org so there's churn in this part of org's. So having some doc's and processes populated on Alamanc for that would be super dope! Review Source DL Diane L. Manager, Experience Design Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Super Handy" May 10, 2021 5.0 Pros Fairly easy to use and chock-full of great starting points that span a wide range of topics and needs. Cons I would like to see the UI to switch between personal vs. community contexts be more obvious but other than that, there's nothing to dislike. Review Source VP Virginia P. Head of Operations Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great platform" April 23, 2021 5.0 Pros I love the library of information and documents, and the ease of browsing them. Cons I would like to have more formats in which I can upload documents yet they won't lose their form, functionality and quality.
