Confluence for Article and Process Curation
What do you like best about the product?
I like that everyone in our department uses Confluence. It allows for national collaboration on official documentation, articles, and processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the way to update pages. I also think the truncated list on the left hand side for sub-pages is a lot of information. There are shortcut buttons on our confluence home page. But the left side panel feels more like an email inbox or mac finder than an article management system.
I dislike the amount of notification received, even though all my notification are turned off. I somehow still end up getting notifications to my email.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving inconstancies in official information across a national company. Confluence has allow us to have a repository for official information that can be curated by anyone on our national team.
Best Document management system
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to integrate with Jira and restrict the upload file sizes makes it most appealing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way we write anything needs improvement. Its more basic and needs more of a MS Word type capability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have realized tons of benefits in storing and managing business documents. Previously it was not organized but now it is. Also we can link Jira items as well in documents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it only if you are willing to use other Atlassian products then it makes life much easy.
Great for collaboration!

I really enjoy the collaboration part of Confluence. You can all work on a project together, keep the team updated, and finish tasks on time. The UI is also easy and great for anyone.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really enjoy the software, I don't think there is anything to dislike honestly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Finishing projects on time, and even faster than planned some times. It helps a ton with cross-communication.
Best Online documentation software
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence helps us store the documentation in a proper hierarchy. Multiple macros provided by Confluence is just amazing. I have issued JIRA issue/filter and code macro the most of all. What I love most about confluence is the Code Macro. It really makes our document neat and clean. We can add Info section, Warning section, Multiple formatting are also supported.
What do you dislike about the product?
Confluence maintains version history and it allows us replace the content any time we needed from older history.
I don't know if there is feature to compare multiple revisions, It would be better if its provided.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence is where we maintain documentation, since its accessible via browser, this doesn't create overhead for user to download any software to view others documentation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Confluence is best suited for Documentation rather than any version control system
Still not sure how to properly search in this tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to store all of our necessary information in one spot. It makes it easy to use a repository for all of the core information related to my job.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really get the search functionality. it doesn't seem to work off basic boolean search operators with commas and periods. Sometimes you can spell something exactly and it won't come up in results, but if I pick one word, then the results populates. I just don't get it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence allows our global organization to store core information in one place that can be accessed by anyone of employees on the go.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for storing information in one place.
Best knowledge sharing via documentation
What do you like best about the product?
Thw best thing about confluence is you can buy it for your organisation and create your own pages with loads of plugins available . It has failed Microsoft word document by its advanced integrated featues.
What do you dislike about the product?
The complex structure of tables are not horizontally visible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I keep track of my personal diary on confluence with checklists and also the sprint data , it is already integrated with Jira which makes my life very easy I keep track of my tickets as well along with documentation

Go for it
Easily implemented, quick to learn
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the page grouping options and hierarchical management. This allowed us to create a structure that we could assign access to as needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the WYSIWYG components were a little off or did not allow me to create something exactly as I wanted to but there was always an acceptable alternative that was possible to implement and was nearly as effective as what I originally intended.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We tried looking at Salesforce and Sharepoint as our central company depositories for information but we were not able to make those deployments successful. We were able to make our Confluence deployment successful. Now we have a centralized location where our employees can easily see cross-department reports, information from the management team, and make comments that are answered by the management team. This provides a better experience for our employees in a simplified format.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We would implement this sooner. Do not be afraid to give access to make changes to the system to those competent. Limited access to objects and funneling through one or just a few people is not a way to make this deployment successful. Each group or department should have at least one if not more people competent to design, update and create what is needed.
Not sure if our org uses this correctly
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and simple to standup pages. The analytics are a plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could just be our org but I feel like we use it almost like permanent email. Very annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy way to show long term findings of work you've done inside of an org.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just make sure your org has a clear plan when implementing. It's just another place to put things at times. We also use SharePoint and it gets confusing to place things in both places.
Internal extended communications, Perfect for department blogs
What do you like best about the product?
Confuences editing suite is powerful and useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of google docs compatibility can be frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this software for communicating within the company in a longer more visually pleasing manner to Jira.
