Easy to use and access
What do you like best about the product?
It's a great resource, easy to use and can be accessed from anywhere which is ideal for working from home or working remotely. If I can't easily ask questions of my team, there's a 99% chance I can find the answer in our Confluence documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
The site in general could be more organized. The homepage of our team page is a little disorganized in that it's an outline format. We have so much information that at first glance it's a little cumbersome and tedious. I know they are also organized by topic and sub-sections on the side, but that homepage is a lot to look at.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Confluence as an "encyclopedia" of knowledge for various teams in our company. For my team, Confluence is the go-to resource for questions, how-to guides, instructions, check lists, bookmarks, and meeting agenda's/notes. It's easy to find information, has a great search feature, and you can create an endless amount of topics with sub-sections.
Perfect for a documentation/online help Wiki
What do you like best about the product?
The multi author, social aspects of the system mean you can create more engaging content that through typical online help guides that address the issues raised by users, It's versioning and menues are simple. All round it's just easy to use.

Decent platform, but requires team structure
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence offers a lot of flexibility to make your team's documentation what you need. Its macros (such as table of contents, search, and JIRA integration) give it a leg up on platforms like Google Sites.
What do you dislike about the product?
The success of Confluence really depends on the structure put in place by the team using it. It can be scaled to large organizations, but because of the flexibility, the team using it needs to put best practices in place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team uses Confluence for business requirements and product documentation. This has been great for creating voice-of-truth documentation for a large organization with multiple verticals.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a look at the Atlassian's documentation for Confluence and its macro options.
Confluence - Great for evergreen content and more time sensitive information
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is very user friendly--it's pretty intuitive. For more involved projects, the help section is incredibly valuable. The layouts are clean and make it easy to follow and the organization help my team find documents they need. I also like that we can integrate this with JIRA.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some aspects that are less intuitive. Since this isn't a platform I use daily, I do have a hard time when trying to create more involved documents with macros, but as I mentioned, the help section is useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem we've solved is storage of information. Previously we had resources spread out across many different channels--bookmarks, stickies, emails, hipchats--but now we can store everything in Confluence. Rather than having my managees ask me where something is, they now know where to find it, which is a big time saver.
Confluence is a great tool for setting Kbase articles

Ability to create spaces to manage documentation and robust Search feature

Knowledge base articles
