Nice product for organizing wiki and team information
What do you like best about the product?
Clean look and feel of the pages. It is pretty easy to add content.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ability to format your document is pretty limited unless you are adept at HTML. It is not very intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralizing team information in a format the team can ingest. We used confluence to provide a front page to our decentralized content.
My Favorite Central Repository
What do you like best about the product?
I can only comment about my use of Confluence in relation with Jira. When the notes say that
Confluence and JIRA are like bacon and eggs; coffee and cake; Simon and Garfunkel. They mean it. I completely agree that separately, they're great, but together, they're amazing! In regards to Confluence in itself - I love having a central repository for my companies knowledge-base that is user intuitive, easy to use and concise.

In regards to Confluence in itself - I love having a central repository for my companies knowledge-base that is user intuitive, easy to use and concise.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main drawback it seems in Confluence - like any good system, is that the repository knowledge is only as clear and concise as the users who put the information together. Because of many different users spanning different boards working on similar subject matter - the documentation display, detail, and helpfulness can and often will vary wildly. These could be improved by namespacing conventions and page standardization/templating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence is used as a central repository for data knowledge within the company. Through this - it makes life easier when we need to dig up old API documentation, train new hirees, or look at system architecture in the planning stages of new development.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Creating live documents for information sharing is fantastic. Be sure to have all authors and contributors on the same page (no pun-intended) for layout purposes. It makes digging for information alot easier - especially when the company inevitably scales and the information repository becomes bigger.
Confluence adds little value

Easy to use and collaborate with the team
What do you like best about the product?
We used google drive and other products to share the files and document our process. We were recommended Confluence by one of our business partner and we switched to Confluence recently. So far, its we find it easy to document whatever we want. There are so many instructional guides and videos to have a better understanding of the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
We haven't used it extensively as of now and just started to use it. However, I feel it would have been nice to have more advanced user interface. It looks like a basic setup. I will keep on researching though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to have a shared place where people can share their findings, development work with all the colleagues. Its a great place for collaboration. People get notified if a new page or document is added.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please ensure the user notification settings before implementing it for a group. Else, the users would get notifications for each and every little update happening on Confluence.

The application needs an overhaul from a UX standpoint.

Great system for data repository and organziation
What do you like best about the product?
The system does a great job of cataloging data, providing a method of sorting types of data and finding a variety of documents quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
When a lot of users are creating pages, spaces, content etc and the naming conventions are standardized it can be overwhelming when you search. Some standardization would be helpful but also an internal training issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides a simple way to build a training method and process for new hires. Before the information was distributed all over the place and on community drives.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the benefit of consolidating a variety of documents, data and information that have typically reside in a variety of places and are hard to track down when needed.
