Confluence is used to manage the entire workspace
What do you like best about the product?
There is a lot that we like about this service. We include your file manager, which we can drag and drop when deciding to share them. Confluence greatly facilitates the search of information through the web, since it allows us to add pages related to our current work, and search based on the results of these pages, or pages attached to them. You can create a fairly open workspace, with which our team can have enough mobility and define their objectives.
What do you dislike about the product?
One provides system projections of progress, and lacks tools for chat and instant messaging. It also does not allow encrypting files under SSL security, and the document storage function takes a long time to create backups of these. I do not know how to properly integrate the rest of the atlassian applications, including the attlasian Marketplace, so it is difficult to add much power to the work pages if. What the software collapses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence has turned out to be much better than we thought. It has helped us to capture notes during work meetings, to automate our Workflow, to plan activities, and to review designs. Since its first use, our workspace has become much more collaborative, and there is a better flow of information among all employees. It has also been useful to help us with the creation of brands.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We recommend it Confluence has become a powerful software with a lot of information processing capacity. It is perfect for tracking our activity and the activity of others, since all the progress can be reviewed in a single screen. Its base price is only 10.
Wiki Bible
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility in the way we can organize and share content- its also very user friendly- can upload and save most types of documents and videos. I also enjoy the ability to use tables and integrate documents/files within the content. Downloading the current page in pdf form is also quick and easy to do.
What do you dislike about the product?
The side panel is hard to scroll through when there is a large list. When applying a lable/tag on the page I would prefer to see a drop down rather than having to type something to pop up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
organizing content , content collaboration is a problem in which Confluence has solved for the company I work for. Content can be managed separately (by different departments), but yet can be shared and accessed by all employees.
Easy to use and there so much you can do with this tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love that once you learn the tool, it is very easy to use. It’s is a good central location for documents within each department. With the use of Macros, pages are highly customizable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when I add a Macro to the page automatically add pad through the layout of the page where I didn’t want padding. So I will have to go through and re-edit the spacing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Confluence as a central location for documentation through the departments, allowing for better collaboration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you learn all of what confluence has to offer. It’s a great tool when you know how to use it.
Efficient and dynamic platform
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is an excellent business collaboration application, document management is very fast and efficient. It is based on the cloud, in a web platform that reduces its versatility and power but facilitates access to the platform from almost any device that has a web browser, in addition to this the page is very fast and fluid so rarely experienced delays in data processing. The API edition allows few modifications but enough to adapt Confluence to the needs of each company. It has a very modern approach allowing the interaction between participants to the best style of a social network, this dynamizes the work and makes it less boring, besides that less details are lost and the communication in the work team makes it more efficient and enjoyable.
Confluence differs from other collaboration software by allowing you to perform many tasks on a single platform such as the rapid creation of disposable web pages, blogs, forms, and many more options with the ability to edit HTML and CSS that adds style to all your editions. The main board and the distribution of functions is well organized and very easy to learn, to avoid confusion Confluence opens many windows in the browser so you can be editing HTML code in one window and interacting with your computer in another window. We appreciate the integration of being able to mention other people in the collaboration environment, making the platform more interactive and easy to communicate.
The handling of files has been pleasant to me especially for PDF files, Office documents and images. Each file and activity can be commented by the team mentioning or leaving a comment in a text box provided below. The integration with HipChat and Jira and more than 700 extensions give us the power to stay alone in Confluence to finish the whole project.
With a very fast and reliable auto save function it is very easy to work with peace of mind in Confluence knowing that everything is backed up in real time in the cloud. Likewise, the internal search engine is well focused and it is very easy to find any file or document that we have uploaded to the platform.

What do you dislike about the product?
For now I would like to see more types of fonts, colors and templates in the editor because so far the platform is very limited in terms of customization, while it serves the function of facilitating workflows and make them more enjoyable, in Confluence there is the possibility of introducing HTML code but not all handle this language. Another important impediment is not being able to clearly preview the presentations or resulting editions of Confluence but within the same application, this viewer is inefficient so I prefer to download the file and view it elsewhere.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For now Confluence behaves like a good workflow manager and provides a platform adapted to the needs of growing companies. With the possibility of developing the API you can expand the possibilities of automation and customization but Confluence must improve its content builder by adding a more powerful text editor and the ability to add more colors and multimedia files.
Confluence: Alternative Team Collaboration Software
What do you like best about the product?
A few features that i like:
1. Confluence notifies stakeholders whenever a document is created/updated
2. There is a personal workspace for logged in user, including visiting history, My Space (which allows me to manage pages & docs that i own), viewing popular articles, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
Searching docs in Confluence is really a pain, especially after we all get used to searching with Google. If you don't remember the exact words or phrases that are presented in an old file, good luck on finding it later on.
Also the overall latency (of doing anything) is a bit high.
Also the overall latency (of doing anything) is a bit high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Confluence as the primary documentation hub (along with Google doc). We usually keep the following docs on Confluence:
- Engineering design docs
- Project overview
- Product overview
- Engineering runbook & on-boarding docs
And so on. Since all of the docs are on clouds, creating & distributing docs becomes a trivial task.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
IMO Confluence works OK as a wiki hub, but if i had to make a decision I would definitely do researches on other alternatives (e.g. Box or Dropbox).
Confluence is useful
What do you like best about the product?
It is a useful instrument to maintain information, update information, share information, review design schedules, and more in an intranet and external structures. It is a working instrument and I always learn about its skills and characteristics. It appears to have a few plug-ins, which you can brand yourself. I felt as though it's nice to use. I would suggest that. I would suggest it.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's novel to me, so of course, it's an opportunity to know something different from what I'm used to. I like that, if you can copy and use templates, you don't have to keep doing the same stuff from scratch, if you have an ongoing job. Access and admin rights can be managed. The designs appear to be new and contemporary. I do not like this product very much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most fundamental issue I would see is knowledge management. It is an excellent instrument for uploading all kinds of files that you can discuss and help with the revision check versus text sharing. I believe it's something comparable that all organizations need.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check your skills and see if they meet your requirements. Get some original instruction although group and teams start at very fundamental and small levels.
great tool for internal documentation
What do you like best about the product?
this is the perfect tool to keep track of every meeting, decision, workshop or process you have in your company, you have so many formatting, organisational possibilities. you can also add super useful tools to it like trello or draw.io
What do you dislike about the product?
the formatting is sometimes not so optimal. you need some practice to know the software by heart and be able to enjoy its full capacity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
internal communication and organisation. keeping track of everything we say and discuss in the company. create processes and to do lists.
Create and maintain knowledge repository for all projects
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is a great documentation tool from Atlassian which works great with other products from the same company. Whenever we kick start a project, immediately I start documenting all the notes in confluence. Be it dev notes, meeting notes, scrum progress or customer documentation - everything can be done in confluence and shared to team. You can also attach your word or pdf document here and share.
Flowcharts creation is quite easy here compared to other document creating apps. Organisation of such pages in a tree structure in different spaces is hassle free. So you get a quick update of what spaces have been updated by whom and you can choose which spaces you want to watch so that you get notified of any action.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's a great tool overall. I don't find any issues as such.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needed a tool to store all documentation and for knowledge sharing.

It has a really clean design. Easy to navigate and use.

Look no further!!
Internal Knowledge Sharing Hub
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is the best tool to share the knowledge and information with team members and also within an organization. It provides integration with Jira which has been very useful to link any Jira tickets and check their progress from Confluence only. It has wide array of both free and paid plugins which you can download to enhance the functionality of the Confluence. Apart from that, it provides other functionality like exporting page in PDF or Word file which is useful if you want to share the information to someone offline.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is not good. It can be better. If multiple persons are trying to edit the same page then it doesn't work properly. Also, sometimes it becomes difficult to find the particular page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using Confluence for sharing technical information like best practices, new APIs introduces in OS, new libraries, POCs created for any project and many more within my organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are working on some big product then I would highly recommend to use the Confluence for knowledge sharing as it will help any new or existing team members to understand the features of the product.
