Ease of sharing and collaborating with team
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great to get version history and previous comments
Confluence as the documentation portal
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence links up really well with all other Atlassian products. Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket are what we use with each other and they all link up to provide us with the perfect data set for all our products.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have found confluence to be really difficult to be used as an external documentation portal. Internally confluence works really well, but to provide documentation to our customers and clients, we need another solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We link all our code, tickets, and tasks with all our documentation on Confluence. This has led to easier integrations within the team and also externally with other teams in the company to whom we can simply forward one of the links and they have all the data for the tasks to the code till all our documentation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We use the on premise version, but I would suggest checking out the on cloud version.
Good business collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is easier to use than most collaboration programs, from the first moment it is easier than Microsoft Sharepoint, just as expensive but at a more affordable price. It is a web-based software, serious and with few updates but remains a good alternative for small businesses that want to bear the costs and risks of managing a lot of data in the cloud. In my company we have decided to leave Confluence only in some departments because it has a medium learning curve that would make other departments not used to trying new software or tools that require tutorials.
Confluence is easy to use for employees who have knowledge in continuous management of collaborative software or you will have to make them read the Confluence tutorial very well so they can manage the platform optimally, it is full of many options and sometimes can be confused. On the other hand we have the advantage of easily configuring the pages that we will make for an intuitive and pleasant user interface that from the beginning invites you to work without much guidance.
The structure of Confluence is organized and almost all the configuration parts are opened in separate tabs of the browser to avoid confusion and loss of work when you are creating a task. Document tracking is great, setting aside a space for each work team, department or project. The same goes for files that can be assigned categories of importance to discard files that will only be used as a reference. The administration system allows you to limit access to certain users and this is very useful when you work with large teams in which each person has jobs that are not compatible or we want to keep private.
The formats when editing tasks is not a problem because Confluence gives us templates adapted to each type of document we want to edit as meeting notes, project plans or product pages. Confluence's approach is well directed and complies with facilitating document management and emphasizing interaction since we are presented with the option to make comments or give "like" to the notes we like from our team.

What do you dislike about the product?
What Confluence should fix is the loading time of a new page when we get ready to create a new job, it takes a long time to load, and even if it's a few seconds, that counts as lost. In the text editor when you go to select the bar to start typing is not selected immediately and gives the impression that something is wrong. I don't think much can be demanded of a web-based application but the slowness in processing new applications can be improved. Otherwise, they can lower the price a bit to increase sales of this product and increase its audience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At the moment I recommend to try Confluence for free and load it with many documents so that you can visualize the processing capacity, at the moment it is a little slow even with few users but with a very clean and purified interface that offers many options of collaboration with an interaction between the team quite renewed that encourages productive discussions of any work team.
Confluence is a good if unspectacular option for business wikis
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is very easy to use, you can access almost all the power it has from the graphical UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
Management is a key, it's very easy to end up making multiple sites with overlapping info. I also don't see how this is any better than any other open source solution unless, like us, you are an Atlassian customer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We hold documentation, release notes, checklists, standards, other team info there
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check open source choices first, Confluence is fine but lacks some power features and is no better than say, MediaWiki.
Confluence is the best.
What do you like best about the product?
With confluence it is so easy to achieve your task. If it is creating a TODO list or documenting something in your infrastructure it all can be done with Confluence.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes some time to get the fullest out of Confluence. That is not something they can do about because it has so many features it takes some time to learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We stored our documentation in Microsoft Sharepoint. We are now moving to Confluence because it is much easier to document your items.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't hesitate to switch , it will give you a lot of benefits. But take some time to master Confluence.
Good content management
What do you like best about the product?
I like its integration with Jira and the ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far that I don't like about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Content Management and Knowledge Sharing.
Confluence is a powerful tool that can't be learned overnight
What do you like best about the product?
I like having a central place for the company to upload all documents, ideas, press releases, etc. Before they are shared with the public. I also like that it's totally secure and no one outside of the company will get our documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
Confluence is not very user-friendly. We have gone through weeks of training to just get a basic understanding of the software and still it is not being utilized by half the company and those using it are not taking full advantage of all the features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We now have a more reliable location for all important documents throughout the company, making it easier to communicate throughout.
Confluence offers a surprising workspace.
What do you like best about the product?
We like it for its high security of information encryption, since when creating a hierarchical list of the pages with which we will work, it can only be seen by the creator and his delegated team. It is also good to focus the search of a specific topic through its rapid search system. With this tool we can even find comments within web pages.
What do you dislike about the product?
The process of documenting requirements may take a long time. Its integration to Jira contributes several points against, as they are the little capacity that is had to insert the tickets or boards of works from the platform of Jira in the pages of confluence. The so-called "work cards" can not be updated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to confluence we have achieved a better ability to add spreadsheets to our pages, to integrate sales CRM services such as salesforce, or to file sharing platforms, as in the case of google drive. When adding applications to confluence from the atlassian marketplace we add much more power to our pages, and therefore we can do a better job.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
With confluence you can handle projects of any kind, from human resources to human resources. It is recommended for the creation of brands, since its branding system allows you to customize them as much as you want. In addition, it only costs from 10 dollars per month.
Ideal confluence to generate projects

This application is known by its users as a program in which you can make project plans, include multimedia resources and content. This allows you to make presentations and projects really unique in regards to style.

What do you dislike about the product?
Among the things I do not like, is that it has a system which does not allow feedback, which allows its continuous exploration, has very basic templates in the administrative aspect, otherwise, it is a great application, with opportunities to continue growing in the market and get known with each one of the people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the business field, this application allows you to create a different space for each department or team, thus sharing information and organizing work efficiently with a fairly structured system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This application is totally recommended and I advise each user to make the most of it, since the Confluence team is totally committed to each of the functions offered by the application, giving accessibility, quality, simplicity, speed and reliability to users who They have this application. This, makes the application has great value in the business field, for the aforementioned.
