Confluence editing experience sometimes gets slow if multiple working on the same document and is prone to errors.
If the documents are not organised properly, it's very hard to find the specific knowledge when spread across multiple documents
The page does not update in real time for multiple developers, which can lead to data loss

An Essential Platform for Collaboration and Documentation
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is very user-friendly once you get started, and it’s easy to implement across teams. I really like how it centralizes documentation and makes collaboration seamless. The wide range of features, along with its smooth integration with other tools, helps us stay organized and productive. I also appreciate that it’s reliable for daily use, and whenever support is needed, the resources available are helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, the interface can feel a little complex when trying to format pages or adjust layouts, but once you get used to it, it works smoothly. Overall, it’s more of a learning curve than a real drawback.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence helps solve the challenge of scattered information by providing a single place for documentation, knowledge sharing, and collaboration. It reduces the need for endless email threads or searching through multiple platforms. This has benefited me and my team by saving time, improving transparency, and making it easier to stay aligned on projects.
A solid tool for team collaboration and documentation
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence stands out for its intuitive interface and seamless integration with other Atlassian products, making it an excellent choice for collaborative documentation and knowledge sharing. I particularly appreciate how easy it is to create, organize, and search for content, which significantly improves team productivity. The ability to customize pages with macros and templates allows for flexibility in presenting information, and the real-time collaboration features ensure that everyone stays on the same page. Overall, Confluence has become an essential tool for managing project documentation and fostering transparent communication within our organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Confluence offers many valuable features, there are areas that could be improved. The permission settings can sometimes be complex to manage, especially in larger organizations with multiple teams and spaces. Additionally, the performance can occasionally lag when working with very large pages or attachments. Some users may also find the learning curve a bit steep when first getting started, particularly with advanced formatting and macros. Despite these challenges, the benefits generally outweigh the drawbacks, and ongoing updates continue to address many of these concerns.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence addresses several key challenges related to team collaboration and knowledge management. It provides a centralized platform where teams can create, store, and organize documentation, making information easily accessible to everyone. This helps eliminate information silos and ensures that important project details, meeting notes, and processes are well-documented and searchable. As a result, our team experiences improved transparency, faster onboarding for new members, and more efficient collaboration across departments. The ability to track changes and maintain version history also ensures accountability and consistency in our documentation practices.
Simple, reliable place for our team docs
What do you like best about the product?
I like that everything's in one place - meeting notes, project specs, onboarding docs and leave calendar. It's easy to find and setup the latest version and everyone can collaborate without sending a dozen files around. I Love the collaborative editing and templates. Team members can jump in, update pages and leave comments -- which keeps content fresh and reduce back and fourth meetings.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some formatting controls are annoying (tables and layouts can be fiddly), the mobile app isn't great. also get pricey as your team grows. And also Permissions and space setup are confusing for new users, which leads to messy pages if no one enforces structure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence gives us a single source of truth for specs, runbooks and notes. That means fewer repeated question, faster onboarding and less time digging for info -- which speeds up everyday work. Also It captures decisions and context in one place and links them to our Jira work, so stakeholder and new teammates can quickly understand why things happened.
Great knowledge hub for our team but with a slow learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up templates help our team set up knowledge bases for our engineering team. It helps us integrate with other Atlassian apps (mainly jira service management & jira software). It helps us update code documentations and information for users, contractors, and stakeholders at a daily basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult to use for smaller teams and projects in the organization. It can feel extremely overkill for simple documentation needs. For most cases its better to just use a simpler tool like notion or a larger doc file.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence helps us keep IT documentations up to date for the engineering teams. It allows large teams in the organization and external users, contractors, collaborators and stakeholders find information about products & projects. Our teammates find it easy to stay up to date and constantly update knowledge bases about projects on a daily basis.

Best tools for manage project documentation
What do you like best about the product?
As a Java developer with over 5 years of experience in agile teams, I've used Confluence to manage project documentation, knowledge bases, and collaborative wikis for about 3 years. It connects smoothly with our Jira setup letting us link requirements straight to code changes and team notes without changing tools.
Great for team editing—several devs can work on pages at the same time, which changes the game during sprint planning or when fixing problems.
The search works well making it easy to find hidden info on Java frameworks or old bug fixes.
Templates for API docs and release notes cut down on work when new team members start.

What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app feels awkward for quick edits away from the desk, and sometimes pages load with big attachments.
Custom options are strong but take time to learn if you're not into macros.
On the whole, Confluence has had a positive impact on our team's productivity by bringing all our knowledge together in one place. I'd suggest it to any development team that relies on Atlassian tools—it's a good investment just for how well it fits into your workflow.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Confluence, our team’s documentation (API specs, architecture diagrams, meeting notes) was scattered across emails, Google Docs, and local drives. This made it hard to find critical info, like Java class structures or deployment steps, especially during tight deadlines.
Confluence provides a single source of truth where I can store and organize all project-related docs. For example, I can quickly access REST API documentation or database schema notes linked to specific Jira tickets. This saves me at least 2-3 hours a week searching for information, letting me focus on coding.

It's hard to get properly setup, with permissions etc. It actually takes quite a bit of time to work out your own workflow and THEN setup confluence/JIRa and other integrations to fit into that... out of the box... not so great.
