Confluence for online collaboration

The ease of managing both pages and structure. Formatting is really straightforward as are attaching documents.

Revision control of attachments would be awesome so that we don't have extra clutter.

Easy + collaborative!

The graphics and site design could be a bit more current and “trendy.”
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documentation and accountability throughout a project or new release. Being able to track down a specific person for help with a question you had from their notes is so easy thanks to confluence
A pretty decent Information management & Team collabration utility
What do you like best about the product?
The way we can organize the information and the complete knowledge repository is pretty good. Here we can manage all the data with ease and in properly organized manner. The searching of any information is quite easy. Other good factor is it's various integrated tools like I can manage a team calendar here, make various add-ons and integrate it with JIra etc which is quite useful for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the things which I dislike is its Page-Tracking. Sometimes we have seen that the page tracking doesn't work pretty well. Another thing which makes me uneasy is its formatting of pages which is trivial at times and I cannot add much graphics
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are quite a few business problems that we solve using Confluence, the most important one is team collaboration. with confluence our team can collaborate and share information and documents with ease. We can archive information, we can add information to confluence and every stakeholder will be notified about any updates etc which is quite useful in a high-demand scenario as ours. Another business problem that we solve using confluence is progress tracking and reporting by integrating it with Jira.

A Product I have Confluence In
What do you like best about the product?
It's good at what it does. Confluence serves as a wiki for most of the technical stuff in my use case; there isn't quite another alternative that we would use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The design is a bit outdated—it could use a makeover to fit modern trends! But this is not a big deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence primarily provides the benefit of storing knowledge about all the different parts of the application that we work on. The application, in particular, has been around for several years and so it is quite complex (complex enough that there are hundreds of confluence pages for it)!
I've definitely realized the benefit of it, as it's helped me understand some obscure parts of the application. In addition, Confluence lets one easily document things like best practices and speed records.

Confluence is part of the Atlassian suite, so if you are using other Atlassian tools, why not add this into the mix?
