Excellent for team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Much of our development in our products requires a central forum to setup the required inputs and coordinate who does what. Confluence is ideal to perform such a task
What do you dislike about the product?
Tagging colleagues in certain threads can be a bit difficult as it does not always find them
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coordinating new product developments in a central program rather than doing things through email
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it whenever you need anything done in a coordinated manner. It is much more efficient than emails or calls!
Confluence - It’s just ok
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it’s highly customizable and easily personalized to your organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks any standout features that you wouldn’t be able to find elsewhere.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real time information sharing. Document storage and record keeping.
Great for collaborative work
What do you like best about the product?
It is great for team work because it provides a space where everyone can access.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile version is a little difficult to work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everyone is doing different tasks for one goal, so this space provides a place to unify the team.
It turns your knowledge base into a wiki. Most businesses would not want that.
What do you like best about the product?
We can take content from Jira directly into Confluence, so we can distill support tickets into Howto articles. It also observes URL changes and manifests them throughout.
What do you dislike about the product?
• It's a wiki, so you have no direct control over the content you generate.
• Its exports of your docs never look even close to the web page.
• Templates for pages are static. Did you mess up but notice after generating 100 pages? Too bad -- you'll have to change each page manually.
• Version control and labeling are not native -- you have to add Scroll Versions from k15t.
• If you generate a
• It expects you to edit files only inside the white background of a web page. If you're a tech writer or a coder, you understand this pain right away.
• You can never tell from the easy editing mode why something won't delete or loses formatting.
• Search optimization is only based on adding search tags. In theory it can do a smart search, but how?
• You cannot write in Markdown (which is, in theory, the native markup language) unless you copy all of an existing page elsewhere, edit, then paste all.
• I feel like I've said enough bad things. I must stop, lest I incur the advance of the Heat Death of the Universe.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to publish our product documentation online and update with new releases. It does this...just barely.
Our benefits:
• We have a tolerable solution that allows a vague amount of searchability.
• We guarantee that at least one IT employee will always lose hair.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Run. Run far away. Hie thee to Wordpress. Even an ancient Drupal setup will give you a better deal. It's like a write-only wiki.
Collaboration with Confluence
What do you like best about the product?
Very few steps are needed to create a new document. The simplicity of converting them to Word or PDF documents
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating charts with LucidChart is a nightmare, Search functionality is not good, versioning is non existent, Formatting documents is much to be desired.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All our wiki documentation, how to guides are in Confluence
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use for collaboration.
Valuable resource for tracking group projects
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to organize projects with many sub-pages and to make it so certain people get updated when changes are made to those pages, while everyone can view them
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is not always intuitive and it can take a minute to figure out how to get things to appear the way you would like
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing information about a project without having to search through email and having the ability to update without having multiple versions
Confluence Review
What do you like best about the product?
It makes it easier for teams across the company to work together. It is also a great product when it comes to integration especially JIRA. Being able to create an internal KB is amazing,
What do you dislike about the product?
I am not 100% pleased with the interface but other than this I've been using Confluence for quite a while and is my go-to product in terms of team collaboration and Knowledgebase.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team Collaboration and Knowledgebase
Recommendations to others considering the product:
to share and organize content and management of knowledge plus team colaboration
Confluence is awesome.
What do you like best about the product?
I think it's probably the best for documentation and taking notes. It's also got great markdown similar to Reddit if you want things to appear in certain formats. It's also easy to search and find pages.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've found it's really difficult to export the documentation to any other format than the default.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping other people informed of changes. Centralizing meeting notes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Atlassian has a lot of great products. If you've used some of the others you'll have a generally good idea of what to expect.
Streamlines group collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The interface was wonderful to navigate. It made the challenges of group work minimal to none.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is a little high. If more features were included, it would be justified.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Healthcare policy making
Team Collaboration Software
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is the best thing about it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Confluence pricing is bit complicated. It can be a bit simpler.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easily publish, organize, and access company information in one central location so I can help my customers help themselves.
