Lexis Search Advantage vs. Slite

It is good for researching previous news stories on a subject and it can be helpful for tracking down people and their biographical information. If you're looking for academic studies on a subject, this is not the best place to go in my opinion. It is also not always current with addresses and phone numbers.

If you are not a Gsuite user then using Slite is a great alternative! You essentially have the same functionality of being able to share notes and documents with other team members, as well as keeping notes and documents private.

• I don't love that it doesn't integrate easily with the other tools we use, at least it doesn't as far as I know.
• Since there is not an Excel sort of capability there is no way it could ever replace Google, so it is sometimes easier to just use Word docs instead of Slite since everything is in one place.
• I think if Slite extended their product line up, it would be more attractive to use exclusively, instead of just using it for documentation.

It's been several years since I called for help but when I did, Lexis was very helpful.

Lexis is much more refined in its results. I use it because it is a newsroom standard and it is what is provided by the company.

[In my opinion,] Slite is cheaper but less mature and feature full. Notion is a much more mature solution, so I'd recommend it for teams who want to be at the front and don't care about cost.

• No idea -- I don't deal with our finances.

• It is helping manage our documentation and processes all in one place.
• It is helping with company updates and product releases.
• It is nice that everyone has access to shared boards and private boards to use.
• We also use it to track customer feedback after a big release.
