Collaboration Friendly, But Search Needs Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I find Confluence invaluable for documenting my designs, making it easier for stakeholders to navigate through design workflows, review designs, and share feedback. It serves as an excellent collaboration tool between designers and stakeholders. I love the ability to keep different design features organized in one place, which aids significantly in collaboration and helps stakeholders access designs easily. Furthermore, it works exceptionally well as a resource for stakeholders and allows me to track old designs and documentation efficiently. The initial setup was intuitive, reminiscent of Microsoft Word yet tailored better for design purposes, making the transition smooth.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the search functionality in Confluence frustrating at times because it often feels unintuitive, and I struggle to find what I'm looking for, especially in older documentation. It feels like going down a rabbit hole. Additionally, when attaching Figma links, the display shows a widget for Figma login rather than presenting the design component directly in the widget, which could be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Confluence to document design workflows, making it easier for stakeholders to review, share feedback, and navigate through designs. It helps track old designs and documentation. However, the search can be unintuitive, requiring improvement.

Easy access and integration, but sluggish performance
What do you like best about the product?
I find it great that Confluence is accessible from anywhere, which significantly eases access to always up-to-date content. The simple capture of data and the countless possibilities to further develop and format it are particularly valuable to me. The direct integration of existing content from other Atlassian products is extremely practical, and the ability to export content for delivery to the customer without having to create Word files yourself is very time-saving. Another advantage is the uniform formatting across all content, which makes the presentation more professional. I also appreciate the fact that with Confluence we were able to completely replace the additional authentication that was previously necessary to access network drives in the company network. This saves time and provides a fail-safety that our IT team no longer has to worry about. It was also particularly impressive how easy it was to switch from the server installation to the cloud early on.
What do you dislike about the product?
Loading the content is quick, but all apps, etc., take forever to load, and until they are fully loaded, editing Pages is usually not recommended. The editor becomes very sluggish when editing pages with a lot of content and is even unusable for excessively long pages. It would be helpful if there were a direct suggestion to split large pages into several smaller pages, possibly with a tool that assists in the separation without losing content or dependencies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence replaces access to network drives, eliminates additional authentication steps, and ensures failover, which relieves our IT team. It enables direct content integration, uniform formatting, and easy added value through worldwide access to up-to-date content.

It is a tool that allows me to dive into all the company's projects and search for specific information about features that interest me, which helps me to be better informed and to make more targeted inquiries to the responsible team. Additionally, I appreciate that it is quite easy to use, making interactions with the tool not require prior training. Creating new projects in Confluence is also simple, resulting in a fairly smooth and efficient user experience.

When editing a long page, I have to scroll a lot to be able to continue writing after the last thing that was written.

The real-time editing and robust search features make locating information effortless. It's particularly useful for onboarding new team members, as they can easily access everything they need in one place without having to sift through countless Slack threads.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, the editor may feel somewhat sluggish when handling large pages or tables, and the formatting does not always respond as expected. Additionally, managing permissions could be more straightforward, especially for bigger teams. However, these are minor drawbacks when weighed against the significant time it saves us in sharing knowledge.
