Barely use it
What do you like best about the product?
I guess it is a good space to document what needs to be documented
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not seem to be easy to get to. It might be the way our company is using it. It feels like there are too many steps to take to get to it. I almost think I could get the same usage done with google docs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The writers on my team like to use it to document feature details which I as a software engineer never spend my time there.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Commit to use it.
Confluence is a great tool to use to track productivity and documentation

We use confluence for documentation as well as a workflow for engineering. It's easy to use and allows for collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting/Exporting isn't the best in JIRA.

Great for collaboration, terrible for formatting
What do you like best about the product?
I have built an entire database of all of the resources my department uses and it is going to be a great resource to employees. The use of links, Macros and navigation is great. Next week is when everyone will begin to use it and I am excited for the collaboration to come so we can put everything in one place. I think Confluence is great for a development team, to keep status of issues that come up and keep everyone on a timeline for when items must be completed. I also think it is great because you get to start with a blank slate and you can create whatever you want.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing I HATE about it is the formatting is terrible. Whenever I want to change the size of a header vs. paragraph, I could hit 1 button and everything I just worked on for an hour could completely change and I am left back where I started. If this could be improved, Confluence would be way more seamless than it already is. This has taken the most time out of anything when building out our center's Confluence, which caused a delay in the roll-out. Also when troubleshooting, the feedback board always seems to end with a problem that was never completely resolved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration and a database that works with other resources and formats.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't worry about how things look, just what data is contained
Good for guides and information sharing within a company
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to find important company info, post guides, and share information internally
What do you dislike about the product?
UI seems dated, and the site isn't as intuitive as it could be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Availability of self-service information, and a centralized place to store guides and internal information about systems, projects, and the organization as a whole.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It gets the job done.

great for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I like the comment section and the ability to see past versions of a document. It's also great to be able to tag users so they are notified of a post.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if they highlighted the changes made from previous versions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem confluence solves is having a centralized living document that encourages collaboration.

Easy to use. Easy to organize. Easy to collaborate!
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to collaborate across departments to get a campaign in order using wikis and shared calendars.
What do you dislike about the product?
The actual look and feel of it is very bland. It could use a visual update to look more modern.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having one place to place all the information needed by various departments, where everyone can collaborate and stay informed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It would have been nice to do have a formal training of it to make sure I had the necessary skills to use it as best I can, so make sure to get that during implementation. Also, Shared Calendars are key to optimize workflow.
Wikipedia for your company
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is clean and easy to follow. The site structure/navigation makes it simple to find what you're looking for. I like the ability to tag users directly in comments, or the content. Easy to see who last made changes. I like the comment functionality as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't love the landing page when you first go to a space. Maybe this is customizable and I just don't know about it. Just seems like there could be something more, or maybe something more important as I just never find myself doing anything useful when I first navigate to a space. Also, I never use the "Save for later"
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to create "living documents" that are collaborative throughout the team/company. Also organize these documents, which spaces help with.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Confluence is a really nice tool, especially if you're using other tools in the Atlassian suite. It's a great way to collaborate and organize ideas/documents amongst teams.
Great tool for organizing notes
What do you like best about the product?
It's a great place to store all necessary information about projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slightly confusing for new users to get a hold of the interface at first. It definitely takes a little bit of ramp up to understand where all the tools are.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization, communication, consistency
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a useful tool if you need a place to store central information.
