Great Tool to Help Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence creates a central hub for requirements documentation. It's a great tool, easy to use and very flexible.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could create custom blueprints on the cloud version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The only drawback would be the lack of customizations on the cloud hosted version - specifically not being able to create cuatom blueprints.
Excellent tool for documentation.
What do you like best about the product?
We document several of our internal proto type designs for peer reviews and cross functional team sharing. Excellent for receiving feed back and educate end users.
Prior to Confluence, we were using a variety of different tools and online platforms, including:
A shared network of folders for client assets and project documentation
A proprietary knowledge base for internal document management
Outlook contacts to manage client information
A forum to internally share announcements and information about projects
With Confluence, we can now manage all of these functions with a single online platform that is easily accessible from the office or when we work remotely. No remote connection required.

What do you dislike about the product?
The search function is a bit dated, in the sense that the syntax needs to be very specific to the query, otherwise you will be drowned in irrelevant data.
Much like Google search has hidden commands, e.g. Site: or using "quotes to find" exact search terms etc.

Confluence: Comprehensive and Effective; Not Navigationally Convenient
What do you like best about the product?
Single source for internal document sharing and development. Permission and access levels worked well for internal and external use. It allowed us to remove the persistent issue of different versions of document floating around, even to clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
The different layers, categories, and sub folders throughout the tool were immensely helpful in indexing and organizing -- Though users who interacted with the entire platform and all information uploaded navigated the platform easily. However, it was not intuitive or time efficient for the "occasional" users to go in a find what they were looking for without assistance or direction from "constant" users. In the end, "occasional" users barely utilized the platform, instead relying on the "constant" users to navigate it for them on a case by case basis (not ideal).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've solved internal & external document sharing and collaborative use of a single source of information. Timestamps and tracking throughout different aspects of the platform was also very helpful -- It gave use a real edge in tracking and retroactively verifying plan or scope changes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to train your staff on the indexing and organization system!
Great collaboration tool

It's a great tool to create content and the ability to collaborate.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration / visibility
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool for creating creating custom content to share and collaborate on. We also use JIRA
Confluence keeps me sane.
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence equips our team with tools to improve communication and efficiency.
I love using meeting notes to document important conversations & set next steps. It's very helpful being able to look back on a previous conversation to see if any important decisions were made.
I used Confluence to create an "internal knowledge database" for my team. It has saved all of us time-- instead of bothering each other with questions, we can each search in Confluenc for the answer.
Confluence is my project management tool. I use it to create project briefs, set timelines, assign tasks & due dates to teammates, etc.
Overall, I'd recommend Confluence to anyone. It's a robust organization/communication tool that's extremely user-friendly without sacrificing visual appeal.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were even more visual element options. I also wish Confluence integrated more with Slack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence saves us time & money by eliminating redundant communication. Using Confluence to document frequently asked questions, meetings, decisions, processes, etc., we've saved time explaining the same thing over & over (or asking the same question repeatedly).
Now that my team is equipped with our internal knowledge base, they spend less time scouting the internet / asking me for help with their questions. They now spend more time on the phone with clients, generating revenueZ
