Slate vs Cloudockit: What are the differences?

Developers describe Slate as "Beautiful static documentation for your API, inspired by Stripe's and Paypal's API docs". Slate helps you create beautiful API documentation. Think of it as an intelligent, responsive documentation template for your API. On the other hand, Cloudockit is detailed as "Auto-generated architecture diagrams, technical documentation and cloud monitoring". It is the only software to offer cloud architecture diagramming and documentation for companies that operate in AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform as well as Hyper-V and VMware. The powerful software is able to generate a complete view of your cloud, on-premise, and hybrid cloud environments It offers its tool as a SaaS, Desktop, and Container (currently in beta) solutions. The software is compatible with Visio, Draw.io, Lucidchart, Word, PDF, Excel, and enables you to extract JSON files.

Cloduockit offers 2D/3D diagrams with multiple views, technical documentation and reports, advanced scheduling options, complete cloud monitoring, and compliance rules..

Slate and Cloudockit are primarily classified as "Documentation as a Service &" and "Architecture Design" tools respectively.

Some of the features offered by Slate are:

  • Clean, intuitive design — with Slate, the description of your API is on the left side of your documentation, and all the code examples are on the right side. Inspired by Stripe's and Paypal's API docs. Slate is responsive, so it looks great on tablets, phones, and even print.
  • Everything on a single page — gone are the days where your users had to search through a million pages to find what they wanted. Slate puts the entire documentation on a single page. We haven't sacrificed linkability, though. As you scroll, your browser's hash will update to the nearest header, so linking to a particular point in the documentation is still natural and easy.
  • Slate is just Markdown — when you write docs with Slate, you're just writing Markdown, which makes it simple to edit and understand. Everything is written in Markdown — even the code samples are just Markdown code blocks!

On the other hand, Cloudockit provides the following key features:

  • Auto-generated architecture diagrams
  • Auto-generated technical documentation
  • scheduling & API

Slate is an open source tool with 30.3K GitHub stars and 19.3K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Slate's open source repository on GitHub.
