Useful for sharing information inside a company
What do you like best about the product?
It's really organized when all the users use it properly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really use it a lot, so I don't have any major issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company have been using it to share every kind of important info.
Place for everything
What do you like best about the product?
I like the opportunity to have important information in one place. Every member of team can add or edit information. So we can share our best practice.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest, I dont have anything to reproach.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for design of api that we develop and also like storage for info about login, conventions, agreed structure of projects etc.
Great for making a knowledge-base
What do you like best about the product?
it's easy and quick to update and make new pages, which is important because if something is hard or slow people will be less likely to use it, making the knowledge-base or documents less up-to-date
What do you dislike about the product?
multiple people can edit a page simultaneously, but i wish you could see the other people's cursors like in google docs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we keep all our knowledge base for inter-team knowledge, and intra-team
Essentially a Wikipedia for your business
What do you like best about the product?
We use it to distribute brand assets and best practice materials. Good way to ensure everyone has up to date information
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be a little restrictive in terms of design
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Distribution of information over a very large company. Everyone has the most up to date info as we can update centrally.
Very sufficient
What do you like best about the product?
It is very sufficient for documenting the organization’s learning material
What do you dislike about the product?
It has a very old and ugly User interface
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly used for Documentation
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be well organized with the content you want to add there
Quick Reference
What do you like best about the product?
That is available through the network. I can access it though multiple different devices. Holds large quantities of information that is searchable.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lack of visual links and excel usability
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Database storage that is searchable and has links to them.
Quite a nice tool for colaboration
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use and already existing templates are really simple to use. There are some predefined templates that are really useful and make usage simple and straightforward. What I also like is that you can easily use comments at the end of pages to communicate with other members of the confluence.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some plugins are payable and I think could be for free.
There is no really nice and simple tool for drawing graphs.
The markdown is not working well also not with the prepared solutions. This is so often used way to document thinks in projects that confluence should support this out of the box the same as gitlab. So if you copy the markdown readme.md from github/gitlab/... to confluence there is a high chance that text will not be in the same format as original. This is really sad. There could be more themes for separated user profiles. This would really add some additional use experience.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our company, we solve a few problems, not just one. The first problem was with 'live' documentation as documentation was constantly changing and we were not able to track everything with word documents. Confluence solves these issues really nice and on top of all, you can see the diff between two different versions of the same document or page.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just take this as granted and use it. It really gives benefit into the collaboration process, documentation and all other meetings note taking process.
Good for collaboration but weak UI
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is a great tool for sharing information and collaborating with colleagues in a clear, easily shared way. Easy to edit and to track the development of content over time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI / UX feels dated, and that can be off-putting for new users to the solution. Search functionality seems more difficult as a result of the UI. Notifications of changes via email can quickly become overwhelming in volume.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing information for collaboration across the team and wider business. Provides better visibility of work for everyone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Establishing clear guidelines for how you will use Confluence, along with careful structuring of content will likely help users work better.
Slow but powerfull
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you really can create almost any structure of pages and put inside almost any content.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is too complicated in general, and slow sometimes, and sometimes you need to do too much actions to make simple stuff done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use for documenting mostly, but I can count examples:
1. summaries from meetings (especially - frontend-design meetings, I am a designers)
2. some rules of our workflow (f.e. definition of done and etc.)
3. some rules of our design system (f.e. how to properly name font styles, colors and etc.)
