Confluence for product requirements documentation
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence provides an easy setup to be able to create product requirement documents. Our product team has used this to create documentation for our stakeholders.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like how you can create Jira tickets directly in Confluence, but I don’t like how it is difficult to view those links back to Confluence when you are in Jira.
The UI is clunky, and the navigation scheme in Confluence is also very cumbersome.
The UI is clunky, and the navigation scheme in Confluence is also very cumbersome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence has helped our product team create consistent and clear documentation that all stakeholders can benefit from.
Confluence, a good place to share knowledge
What do you like best about the product?
Having the ability to create documentation in a collaborative way and providing a common space to team to structure whatever information they need. Confluence questions is one of the best things confluence have, a "stack exchange" alike place where people can ask question to be answered by experts.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a powerful tool but is easy to create a to create a complex structure where no one will be able to find anything, is actually quite important to try to keep a simple information structure to make sure that the navigation is easy and clear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
People is usually reluctant to create documentation in classic document formats like Word documents, using this simple tool will push the employees to create and create high quality information due to the fact that most of the time that that documentation will be widely available
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Is a good solution for people working in the IT world but the "code" used to write documentation could be hard to understand to non-tech people.
Project Management through Confluence
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence integrates with Jira, both part of the Application Lifecycle Management system. Within Confluence you can create pages to track agenda items and minutes, track projects that you link to jira stories and/or epics, and post resources that you want to share with people within your company. The ability to link directly to jira is a huge benefit.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is difficult to build a page because of all the java apps you need to use. Sometimes I see a part of a page trying to load. Streamlining the build of the pages would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration across divisions in my company and across teams within divisions. You can subscribe to pages and receive immediate notifications of edits made to pages, allowing you to keep abreast of what is occurring within projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Confluence is a great interactive tool for project management, knowledge management, and team collaboration system.
Great Tool

What I like the best is that it is easy to navigate. I can set up space shortcuts, save pages, and watch pages. The "Watch Pages" option allows me to keep track of changes which can be critical.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface can be complicated at first. But overall no major complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use confluence as a knowledge base, therefore we are able to use it to get answers quickly and efficiently.
Easy Requirement Building

A good place to store information
What do you like best about the product?
It’s a great place to store “how to” articles and information in a shared space - especially helpful with teaching new hires

It’s not very easy to navigate or shift articles from folder to folder or to delete old folders
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saving lots of time on boarding new employees
Decent features but could improve
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy how you can tag other member to inform them of changes you have made to the specific task. I also like how you can watch tasks to keep an eye on any updates that may happen.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like some of the view and search results. For example, I would like to customize my home screen more and be able to view tasks that I am currently "watching". This could be an educational opportunity on my end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems we have encountered have been members treating the comments section such as a social media platform where it can seem like an argument. The benefits we have seen are that all of our results are located in one centralized location.
a little confusing
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is a searchable tool and all information is witin it
What do you dislike about the product?
If you dont use the right words you can not find what youre looking for
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
its a central location for information
Looks simple, but gets the job done
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence looks ridiculously simple on the webpage that you wouldn't think that it's very sophisticated. But because of that, it's user-friendly and it's really easy to find the information you need.
What do you dislike about the product?
Depending on how the team builds out the page, sometimes it can take many steps of clicking to new pages and link before I can find the information I need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're trying to centralized where we store our information, and how others in the organization can access that information for our daily tasks.
