The versatility of documentation options available for the user. The array of options to augment, and display your data. Ease of linking to other software, such as Jira.

The frequency of email notifications when pages you've subscribed to are updated. I've had colleagues edit important pages (that I've needed email notifications) repeatedly over a short span of time, and have received tens of emails for every micro-change.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Documentation is king, but only if easily searchable. Invest time in thoughtfully planning out the layout, and flowchart of your project folders. It'll save a lot of future from newer employees who will have trouble reaching hidden pages that may be required for them to fulfill their duties.
Great tool for internal company WIKIs

Don't remove macros in upgrades. Consider backwards compatibility!

Confluence isnt bad

Sometimes it can be confusing to navigate, this may be more of an issue with my organizations layout however.

We can have one place to collaborate as a team. The project board is constantly being updated and edited which allows all of us to know what is happening.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
learn if it will satisfy your business needs before purchase. Seems to be robust with features
Not my favorite tool, I avoid using when possible
What do you like best about the product?
I get notified in my email inbox when a teammate asks something from me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ugly/confusing interface, too structured and systematized. Seems to encourage needless delegation and procrastination. A lot of the time I avoid logging on. I sit between a variety of teams and it's annoying to have to navigate to separate space where it could be centralized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be prepared for a large/bulky commitment. Look into easier and more lightweight tools like Trello.
A+ Collaboration and Knowledge Management
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite feature of Confluence is the ability to intermingle wiki content, collaboration, and Jira issues to create informative and dynamic content. This creates new and exciting ways to deliver information.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I had to pick one thing I would wish that refined wiki UI plugin was included as standard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One point of reference for company knowledge and project collaboration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get the refined wiki UI plugin, it's well worth it for better look and feel plus great navigation.
Confluence isn't for everyone
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is a great tool if you have dedicated admins and proper training. I am not a Project manager and would only recommend this tool for PMs or PM related work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its not as easy to use as it should be and is targeted at a very niche market.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is solving project management problems, but only for some of us - others dislike it a lot.
Great collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is one of the best tools for corporations to foster collaboration on internal documents. It allows our teams to jointly work on and present shared information, which is essential for sharing knowledge in a geographically distributed team.
Some of its killer features include:
- allowing multiple edits
- tracking of changes
- easy presentation and search capabilities

What do you dislike about the product?
It's document editing capabilities are not on par with MS Word or Google Docs, and information in spreadsheets are even more limited. But it does allow previews of MS docs in its pages, which is adequate for now.
For longer term use, there are also "older" documents that grow dated, but I suspect that's also an issue with other systems.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Confluence to create joint repositories for information on subject areas - between Engineering, Technical Marketing, Sales Engineering, QA and Documentation - these internal knowledge repositories are invaluable for sharing information.
