Confluence is a useful tool for docs
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create nicely-formatted docs. Easy to send links and share with others. It is good to use when you use widgets such as tables, graphs, calendar. We use it for the team calendar too which is really useful (better than using outlook invites at work).
What do you dislike about the product?
User permissions are confusing. I am not always sure who has permission to what pages on Confluence. Also, the version control gets a little confusing sometimes when you are trying to compare earlier versions with the current version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to store and share documentation/info/resources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is very useful if you need to store and share docs

Good organization tool

The dashboard when you log in and can make it hard to navigate- I often had to just bookmark my most used pages. Sometimes the editing tools made it hard to get the specific format I wanted for the article.

Using Confluence in a software development company
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence makes it easy for us to document specific company information, employee details, software specifics and implementation, procedures for specific tasks and many other things. Being able to comment on any page allows for team-based feedback and quick iteration and improvement to the pages. The built in tools for adding graphics, text formatting and hyperlinks makes it a breeze to put a new page together or edit an existing one. Search tools are quick and responsive and allow you to find the pages you want in no time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only real issue I've had so far is that embedding images in a page can sometimes be a bit tricky and it's not always clear if you've done it correctly as the preview mode doesn't usually load the images you've added.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Confluence as our main platform for storing company-wide information on employees, software development methods and processes, upcoming technological implementations we're currently working on and test procedures. We use the commenting and editing system to work in a team-based manner of collaboration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want an excellent CMS system for internal company use, I'd definitely recommend Confluence. Using as a wiki platform has been extremely useful in our company and it's ease of use has made it a pivotal part of our development process.
Wikipedia for Internal Teams

Integration with JIRA & easy page linking.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited table design/editing, archived pages remain visible in subpage trees and are not obviously labeled as an archived page.

Knowledge sharing and process implementation/improvements. I have been able to easily update processes and share information in an easy to find location.
Great tool for documenting processes, planning and internal communications
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature for Confluence is the ability to create difference spaces for different groups or teams. For instance, you can have separate knowledge bases for marketing, sales and developers.

I'm not a big fan of the UI, I feel like it could be organized better. Sometimes it takes 4-5 clicks to get somewhere I feel should be easier to get to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem Confluence solves is documenting repeatable, complex steps. For instance, from a development perspective we have a documented process when making changes to a production server. Now when the task needs to be completed step by step guide to complete the task correctly and efficiently.
