the organization that confluence offers to its customers
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is a little hard to navigate. If locked out, only a system administrator can assist and that can become incredibly frustrating.

Organization among different teams in the company
Intuitive and simple
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive simple interface, everything does what you expected it to do.
What do you dislike about the product?
Server seems to be RAM intensive, meaning I need to allocate more resources to confluence even when not in use for longer periods of time.
Wish they had a version to use on shared hosting plans, since the current solution requires root on unix servers.
