Whale vs. Sharepoint - The main difference?

SharePoint will allow you to store files, synchronize files across devices, and share files with others.

Whale, on the other hand, transcends mere file management. In addition to the ability to document within Whale and then centralize all documentation, Whale empowers your team with automated onboarding and training. With Whale, you can elevate your business performance by aligning teams faster than ever before.

This means;

 ✅ Less time wasted searching

 ✅ Quicker ramp-up time for new hires

 ✅ More consistency in execution

 ✅ Less exposure to knowledge loss

 ✅ High overall usage of documentation
