What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes - it is too simplified. I would like to have better WYSIWYG editor.
Search capabilities should be dramatically improved (the search box, search results page).

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it. Our internal company communication dramatically improved after implementing Confluence.
A great repository internal documents
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence has a powerful search that allows us to easily look for internal documents that we need to make sure that we are following the correct processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike. Their interface was pretty archaic before. However, they recently refreshed the look.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There were 2 main problems that we needed to solve.
1. Have a central location for all our internal docs
2. A way for employees to ask questions about topics that have no specific documentation
Both of these problems were solved using Confluence.
With the questions section, we were able to alert subject matter experts to quickly answer questions of our employees.

Usage of Confluence
What do you like best about the product?
It is platform for organizations to maintain , secure and share the documentations.User access can be controlled by Active directory access to the lower lever where one can restrict the usage of documents. Multiple level of access to documents like read, write and admin. It is easy to share documents from folder level and navigate to file level . It is easy to make GIF from the snapshot where new user can able to understand without going through the documents. PMO can share their meeting notes across the users.Easily can track team activity ,give feedback and sync with team.Easily invite users from UI condole
What do you dislike about the product?
Migrating from other tools to confluence is little difficult. It involves user in editing the documents manually and validate. User has to adapt to new short cuts to edit the document . Confluence Enterprise application pricing is high
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easily to install confluence on premise and integrate with active directory .Restricted access to team and made invisible documents to other teams. It is very effective in creating meeting notes, project plans, requirements documents, release notes, roadmaps, and more. Dynamically we can create multi media content .User can provide feedback to the notes uploaded. It is effective in creating organizations hierarchy structure . Confluence can be integrated with atlassian tools through the plugin.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is highly effective in handling all kind of documents including meeting minutes to large product documents and sharing with team, synch with the team, and review the documents by providing feedback
Solid and powerful with some minor flaws
What do you like best about the product?
I love how confluence integrates smoothly with other altassian apps such as HipChat and Jira. Confluence's rich content editor makes it a lot easier for me to customize all of my documents and make them look exactly as planned. Another great feature Confluence has is it's spaces. The way you can organize and customize each space makes the whole office's project management more efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
I believe that Confluence is quite an expensive tool to have for a large number of people. It can get quite costly to have the whole office using confluence. Also, I find the search engine to be a bit clunky and inefficient, it does not run smoothly at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence helps me and my collegues organize our different projects that are being developed in parallel. It is a great tool for small to medium sized teams that have tons of projects to manage at the same time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend making good use of Confluence's many integrations with other Altassian tools, it really makes life easier when you are using tools that communicate with ease with each other.
It does the job; nothing more, nothing less
What do you like best about the product?
I think the search functionality is pretty good, especially the ability to filter by last modified date.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's just one more place where I need to remember to look for potential information on a topic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
knowledge sharing via wiki pages; glossary
Confluence - community goal setting and project management
What do you like best about the product?
I found that confluence allowed my team to set goals and have a roadmap to success.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times it was difficult to navigate editing as a team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cross department workflow management was was easily with confluence.
Often frustrating but also very functional
What do you like best about the product?
It's great for collaborating and keeping information that everybody in your company can access. Lets you draw diagrams and do all kinds of fancy stuff you want to do. It does have a ton of features, and handles multiple people editing at the same time fairly well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Search on it is absolutely awful.
I think the software is also pretty bloated. Atlassian tends to do that - their products do everything for everybody, which means they don't necessarily do any of it super well.
I've also lost some data before by not saving my documents which isn't ideal.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We track pretty much everything we do in Confluence. I use it personally to keep track of different tid bits or things I learn, but we also use it to keep track of all of our projects, our architectural documentations, scoping documents etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It depends on what you need, I would definitely consider other solutions first. I've had some short experience with Quip and it seemed pretty good as well.
It's very versatile and has a lot of features though, so it most likely does meet your needs.

Using Box to store research insights for product/design teams.
What do you like best about the product?
Our entire company uses Confluence to store technical documentation and other internal documents. We used to keep our research in Evernote, which had some great search capabilities. But, we moved to Confluence because all of our employees were already using it on a daily basis. This made it easier to share our research insights much more broadly. Some of the built-in macros make it much easier to curate content related to specific topic areas–e.g., creating a list of pages based on labels. This makes it so that research consumers don't have to do as much work to find what they need. The ability to organize content into spaces and hierarchies helps keep things tidy and manageable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pretty minimal concerns. Some of the macros are not as flexible as I'd like them to be. When creating a list of pages based on labels, would love to have "and" and "or" options. Sometimes the text editor gets wonky–e.g., I still can't predict how much spacing I'll have between lines in a bulleted list. Drives me nuts. We believe that content is better understood if its formatted well. But, just like with the bulleted list, sometimes Confluence mangles how we meant something to look. E.g., getting images to align well with text wrapping around it...pain in the butt. This issue isn't as important to some of our other teams, though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to get our user research into the hands of as many people who need it as we can, and we want it to be easy for them to find the information they need.
