Perfect tool for documentation
What do you like best about the product?
The great thing about Confluence is that it is very easy to use as a beginner. It is very simple to create large amount of document and you can also upload any kind of files as a attachment. It provides preview of the attachment as well which is good feature to have as you won't have to switch to different application to view the attachment. You can even tag different people to make them aware of the document or even review it. You can add comment and even highlight the text to mark it for the future references. You can even integrate 3rd party plugins to enhance its functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it becomes tedious and frustrating to search particular document as it doesn't have good search functionality. It could have been better. It is bit expensive as well if you have a small organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it for creating and maintaining the organization level documents and also I am doing the review of the documents which have been created by my team members. It helped me a lot in understanding the project requirement as those documents are easily available in Confluence.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is recommended to all who wants to have organization level documentation and doesn't have any price constraint then Confluence is the best tool you can have.
All company's intelligence in one place

Having all the knowledge in one place, searchable
Collaboration has never been simpler, or more powerful

The ease of use when creating new spaces or pages. Setting up a new page for info sharing for our inside sales team has never been easier.

Read the FAQ to get up and running fast.
Confluence is an excellent solution for collaborating on many different types of projects
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the design of many of the project environments in Confluence. When I've used collaboration platforms that other companies have activated for us, they tended to be somewhat bare and focused more on chatting. Confluence is more engaging, kind of like an interactive magazine page where we can arrange things in a layout to suit our needs for specific projects. We can add grids, lists and photos for reference if they make sense for the subject matter that we're discussing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think that I've really had many problems with Confluence since I've started using it. I think that the effectiveness of the platform depends a lot on the participants' willingness to use it, which can be an issue for certain people that may not enjoy using collaboration platforms and having to regularly updating people. I think that we've sometimes used Confluence for very simple projects that could be more easily be done with a simple text editor. So in those cases, I think that Confluence can sometimes make things more complicated than they need to be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we use Confluence, we typically have great results in keeping each other informed and moving ideas forward. Confluence has been a great way for us to collaborate in real time and also to use as a reference to let others in on our project planning. We are able to comment on specific items in the Confluence project, which makes things more clear. We can often resolve problems much faster.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think that since Confluence is just about as easy to use as desktop publishing tools like Word, it shouldn't be too difficult to get started with it. If you take the time to learn about its features, then I think that it can go a long way for your collaboration efforts.
Nice tool to keep all your company knowledge safe
What do you like best about the product?
I think that Confluence is a nice tool to have. I lets you reflect all your company knowledge, information and commons in a single place and share it across all departments and teams. Having your own intra wiki is great when you need to transfer knowledge to new hires or document some investigation or achievement.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be quite difficult to navigate at first, and its documents organization is not the best. I think it needs to be upgraded but with a better UX.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Confluence to document when I do a research in any kind and need to save the results in order to share it with my team or the company. Also to document releases, business methodologies and more.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a tool to use as a wiki for your company, this is the best option. You can set users with different permissions, share common knowledge and keep track of every change that is made. It is more static than having a Google Drive with info, more like a having it in a static website. I recommend it. And if you are already a Jira user, this is a great deal for you.
Structure for Information Overload!!
What do you like best about the product?
This platform helps us with structuring how we all share and view information.
What do you dislike about the product?
It may be a bit difficult, learning to navigate through the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Structuring how we all share and view information. Benefits of diminishing sharing duplicate information.
So Helpful in the Workplace!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of being able to look up things that I need for my work. It's like Wikipedia for the workplace.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found anything I dislike about Confluence.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence is used in my workplace to locate articles needed for helping with our customers. It is a major benefit when talking points are needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be very specific when searching for what is needed. It makes it easier to find articles.
Very powerful and diverse tool. Recommended
What do you like best about the product?
Adding pages with all types of content works like a charm. We have several internal pages gathering knowledge to streamline our working process. Especially efficient for getting new colleagues up to speed, saving time.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first it looked kinda intimidating, until you just try some stuff out and realise it's not that hard. I know some other (younger) colleagues still think it's that large program they don't really have to use and they can just ask me, which wasn't really our intention. Not really the fault of Confluence though, just some feedback.
Missing the option to embed code into a page. (Say a Google form that's embedded, not too difficult stuff).
Missing the option to embed code into a page. (Say a Google form that's embedded, not too difficult stuff).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gathering and sharing knowledge, creating informative pages wit links to external core sources like Google drive (not through the add+on just yet, just working with links).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think confluence is a good tool to use, it has many possibilities and will probably suit your needs.
