Confluence for Internal Resource Organization
What do you like best about the product?
The organization it offers for teams and departments within a big company. It's dynamic and you can include links, files, images, etc. for easy access. The ability to move away from Google Doc is massive. I like the tagging and search features as well. I also appreciate the ability to follow certain pages of interest and get email notifications about that. It's great for internal resources, projects, manuals, etc. that need to be collaborative (which is essential in a fast moving company).
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing major I hate. I do wish formatting was more intuitive when creating pages. The eye for design I have gives me an aversion to the aesthetic but that is part of the Confluence brand I suppose.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a lot of processes, forms, and project roadmaps that need a central storage and collaboration space. Confluence allows up to organize all of this content for each team, in an easy to find way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great for small to medium sized companies. We are under 500 people, I am not sure how it would work for a company larger than that.
Confluence helps in a big way when you want to track documentation
What do you like best about the product?
Its a go to page for us to find the documentation, update, review
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I dont like is I get too many notifications when some changes a line or a word.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a team we share write technical documents and share it with other teams and departments and also include managers to have a better visibility
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Absolutely ! It helped me come up to speed when I first joined.
Great resource, but can be unwieldy
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is great for having many teams collaborate and have documents automatically collected.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult to add interactive graphics, like checkboxes, to a whole list easily. Also, the mechanism for embedding links needs improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for multiple user types and it's taken over where SharePoint or other file-sharing platforms were used in the past. It has versioning, simple security and indexing built in.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't under estimate the document storage space and integrate with AD as soon in setup as possible.
Easy to use wikis for the whole company
What do you like best about the product?
Extremely simple way to set up a wiki, knowledge base, or company-wide document sharing. Pages are on the simple side, but additional add-ons can make them more robust.
What do you dislike about the product?
Organization structure can be confusing; nested pages can be difficult to setup correctly and to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storage and sharing information
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try out the baseline software before any addon.

How you can collaborate with so many teams / projects across the company in one place. Also the different templates, etc. that can be built within to keep consistency is amazing.

Sometimes I will get too deep into Confluence and not sure how I ended up there - so it can get confusing at times, but once you become more familiar it gets better.

Project planning; documentation
Confluence is replacing our intranet

Confluence Works
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is a great application for creating and sharing documents across the enterprise and among different co-workers in any dept.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it may be quite hard to find what you are looking for. Often old docs get hidden in folders that are no longer active. This can be quite frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence is a great application for creating and sharing documents across the enterprise and among different co-workers in any dept. We have release schedules, how to articles, engineering specs, beta sites, pretty anything that needs to be tracked / shared.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Confluence works well if you need to create and share documents across the company and among different people and departments. You can use it to share and store almost anything from excel to word, no matter what the use - schedules, articles, specs, project sites, pretty much anything that needs to be tracked / shared. It also alerts you when stuff you are tracking is modified.
It's a good corporate wikie
What do you like best about the product?
It's just a wiki for your company. Better than MS SharePoint to share your ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of graph / drawing / UML features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
knowledge sharing
Good Resource Hub
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is a good place to keep track of documents and allow many users to collaborate on various projects, proposals, tutorials and client reporting and anything else your company uses. It's very helpful for standard documents that many people need to reference.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface has a slight learning curve as with anything. The naming conventions can be a little odd but after you've used it for a while you start to understand where and what things are called.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Confluence for How-To documents, client reporting and contracts and updates on project timelines so that all these can be referenced by anyone within the company at any given time.
