Confluence Wiki
What do you like best about the product?
We use the confluence wiki for data and knowledge share. In the past year we’ve updated our training and now specifically keep all training material on the wiki. It’s easy to format in different ways and easy for new users to get on board with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some things we do (like attaching videos) can be hard as the system isn’t the easiest to set up in that way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence wiki has greatly increased our training and knowledge share. It has also increased employee engagement.
My Review for Confluence
What do you like best about the product?
I like that now sense we use Confluence it is easier to document everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I do dislike is the user interface, its a little to convoluted for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are now able to take more notes and share documentation easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend making the interface a little easier to use.
Confluence is great for storing information..... if you never want to find it again.
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence can store what seems to be INFINITE amounts of information. It can be organized really well.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you do not organize well, and lets face it even if you do organize well, the search tool is miserable when trying to find anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is used as our internal wiki. It's great that we can put so much data including documents, but the search tool doesn't allow us to find anything easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Find something with a better search feature.
Confluence is very useful in terms of storing technical documents and easy access.
What do you like best about the product?
Storing important documents and reviewing whenever needed. Easy to use and to share documents with other people. Accessing knowledge based documents and adding stuff for future reference. We can be able to integrate confluence with different add on and by connecting it with other tools available on Atlassian. Whenever we mention other user he will get notification if you like a blog, page. We can work with team on page and see changes in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since it is not able to access on any network. It can be only accessed in office network. Not so great interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving users issues by uploading knowledge documents in confluence and providing the link to users to access specific documents. Many benefits like creating new spaces and adding documents and files for everyone to access and it makes everyone work so easy. We can create different spaces like team spaces, project spaces and personal spaces. We can share Team Pdfs , office documents, images, and more in one place by uploading files to confluence.and able to edit them and add more content.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Can use software for documenting and knowledge sharing platform. Can deploy confluence data center in AWS in minutes. Atlassian developed playbook which is easy to use and way of working is changed a lot. I will help you and your team members to create, organize, and discuss.
Confluence wiki is difficult to search
What do you like best about the product?
You can see previous versions of a page and also see who edited the page most recently. Knowing who edited the page often helps if you need to ask follow up questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is very difficult to find things. Searching on a topic often does not yield what you'd expect or what you're looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use the Confluence wiki to share and store internal documentation. The version control is useful in case you need to go back to a previous version. It is also easy to add new information and you can set up different permission groups for different areas of the wiki.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The searching is very difficult. To me, that is a key feature in a wiki and therefore I'd seriously consider whether there are other options with better searching.
Useful tool for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Collaborative editing plus strong notifications
What do you dislike about the product?
No real-time collaborative editing (a la Google Docs)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wiki tool for archiving historical changes
Perfect for sharing knowledge between teams around the world
What do you like best about the product?
I work with multiple different functional groups in multiple offices around the world. Confluence helps me provide an internal knowledge base that all the teams can refer to and add to
What do you dislike about the product?
The page editor can be a little tricky to use at times, and navigating between spaces can be a little confusing at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Inter-office and Inter-team knowledge sharing. We're getting better in both and have a nice central knowledge repository.
Works well so far
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a new user to the tool, but I like how it works. The content is well maintained and easy to use. Confluence is similar to other tools I've used before, but does have some differences that make it pretty quick to pick up and run with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
There have been some really odd formatting issues that - I'm sure - most people wouldn't necessarily notice, but to detract from the visual aesthetic. Additionally, user rights seem to be a bit wonky. We've had a member of our team repeatedly check the rights for two new users (myself included) and not see any differences between our rights and any other's. Today, he found the needed rights were set in an entirely separate place in the system. So it seems like right provisioning could use some development love.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company has an initiative to have everything live on the cloud. If someone gets hit by a bus or his computer goes through a meat grinder, he would lose all his content unless it lived somewhere like Confluence. The tool makes sharing content and knowledge almost too easy, it's that great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Confluence makes content sharing quick and easy. While there is a bit of a learning curve (that might be decreased if I had two seconds to rub together), its use is clear and content easy to share.
Team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with Jira.
allows you to customize templates to standardize work.
great for sharing knowledge
allows you to customize templates to standardize work.
great for sharing knowledge
What do you dislike about the product?
The editor (text) and table formatting is a bit weak. Linking pages and adding page counts are not straight forward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team does BI. We have analysts developers and ETL developers. We originally got Confluence to help standardize our request documentations, but the integration with Jira is limited. We then set up Confluence as a wiki to document business processes and Data Warehousing ETL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We used this as a wiki to document knowledge and business processes. This can be linked to Jiras or used as a reference for others in our team.
