Fantastic tool for everything roadmapping
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to store everything in one place with treemap for easy organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some functionality is missing for table creation. Also, calendar app needs to be part of the program, instead of an add-in.
Some of the UI could be cleaned up for functionality purposes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping everything in one place that's not on our servers where you have to VPN. Really helpful to those of us that travel all the time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just a little more forethought on look and feel.
Easy integration and a welcomed alternative to sharepoint
What do you like best about the product?
With Confluence there is the wonderful ability to create any form of page or segment as required based upon the needs of your group or anyone accessing the data uploaded. In addition to allowing them to be visible and configured in any way by anyone who is within the selected group.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is an issue every now and then where the system places a newly created page within the wrong container. Since it is very easy to do without much effort this can be a bit of a pain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have turned to this as an alternative to sharepoint and it has already improved documentation and communication between teams. The calendar functionality is great as it provides consistent updates on team activities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Explore and ensure that your team gets good playtime. Without knowing how to create and modify data within confluence they will be at a disadvantage.

I like how customized Confluence becomes to my organization; It feels like it was made especially for us. It's easy to give everyone access to view and edit pages.

Once pages are created, they are difficult to organize differently. In our case, there are too many pages at this point to be completely usable and it will be quite the task to clean up.

Communication has improved amongst all areas of the company. We also have a set place to drop all of our documents, notes, schedules and policies.

Using Confluence for Organizing Blog Content
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to organize information across a page, across pages is stellar. The ability to add HTML elements within the page is the proper balance of knowing HTML and not needing to know HTML. When used in concert with larger teams and integrated with Jira, the tool really shines!
What do you dislike about the product?
The Style Sheet and Editor sometimes takes a bit long to load, but this is often a network issues. The requirement to go into Edit mode is sometimes annoying (I understand why this is required, but still). Inserting widgets and extras is sometimes a bit difficult to do.
