Review of Confluence software
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence allows bug tracking and repository integration
What do you dislike about the product?
Confluence editing tools can be improved as it is a documentation tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
all problems are being documented on confluence
Confluence is user friendly and has great features!
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence helps to make your documentation look like an online webpage. It has tons of macros and other tools that enable your pages to really stand-out.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not as flexible with font and styles as Word, but for the most part it works okay. Not being able to 'high light' material is a big dislike. The limitation of size documents we can import is a huge dislike. Also, not being able to name a page the same makes it hard at times as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sometimes it gets a flaky when using versioning. there are several 'quirky' bugs that tend to be random as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Play around with all the macros, table tools, etc. You will find awesome things that will help your documentation to stand out!
Wiki Easy

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is TOO easy and you end up with messy stuff from all sorts of people in the organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a way to have easy to find documentation on our databases and infrastructure. Putting the information into Confluence meant we could easily grant access to the folks that needed it.
Great for adding meeting notes and collaborating cross-functionally.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can create as many sub teams as you want under the pages.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that when links get moved, it doesn't tell you. It just makes the link unavailable.

It creates better dialogue between our team and opens visibility for all team members.

Mediocre tool for documentation

Using documentation for the project related knowledge
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good tool for documentation, features to export the document in PDF, provisions to import our document, attaching documents, adding images are very good features, heading features and page content index to directly approach the content link.
a great tool to manage projects
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is great tool to manage projects and it is extremely easy to use to write documents there is no need to master the markup language or asciidoc or any others. You can create great-looking content with just the confluence UI. There a lot of plugins and addons out there that can be integrated with confluence like chat plugin and draw.io web site. Confluence will notify the team about changes made on specific content and it allows users to comment pages.
Confluence can be integrated with Jira easily.
Confluence provides a test version so you can test it and decide whether to buy it or not.

What do you dislike about the product?
Confluence security is difficult to manage. In fact, auto-updates are not possible and once a flow discovered things can go so wrong a serious issue is remote code execution (https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2019-3398/) the only remedy available is to upgrade to another version.

- try to find plugins that fit your business and make your documentation and project management easier

Great knowledgebase tool with limited styling options
What do you like best about the product?
Its as easy as writing a Wiki article and you can create quite fast a knowledge base for the complete company where everyone has access - if you want to. That's a big plus as well: You can set limited access wherever needed. Not just for "viewing" a page, but also for "editing" a page. One of the best things is, that you can integrate your Jira board for example. Just put the ticket via macro into the confluence area and you are good to go. It will update automatically based on Jira ticket progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
As mentioned in the header, there is a limited option of styling the confluence pages. This means there are only 7 colors you can use for texts. Tables aren't easy to set up in a "beautiful" way. For plain text you can only choose between headings and text itself. No options for adjusting sizes of the texts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solve the mess we created with google drive. Way to many files which are now stored somewhere but nobody knows where exactly they are. Also if someone leaves the company, also his files will be gone, if nobody got access to them.
And second: Creating a knowledge base, everyone can easily access and read about the main how-tos in the company.
