What do you dislike about the product?
The "tree" or page hierarchy. it;s too hard to use. When creating pages, the assignment to the spot in the hierarchy seems arbitrary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease of finding information. We currently use box as a document storage solution, but things are hard to find. Confluence helps us organize and provide information as users expect to receive it. being able to add context around the document links is also important.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Having an overall admin owner and then specific content owners has helped us quickly create a framework of pages. Asking SMEs to contribute then becomes easier as a more "fill in the blank" exercise.

Clarity when people need to get things done
What do you like best about the product?
I have tried a multitude of project management software and although some came close none compared to using confluence with Jira.
I love how commenting works so well on document and how much it has increased team collaboration in the company.
The ability to work off of pre-determined templates was really helpful as it gave me and the team a framework to get started with.
The integration with Jira and especially when used with the SCRUM methodology is very useful.

What do you dislike about the product?
Let me start of by saying that Confluence is not the prettiest online tool or the easiest to use when you first start using however if you keep using it and learning all the functionality you end up with one magical piece of software to help you define and manage a project with a team.
Some features seem cumbersome and the UX can be complicated.
Some features seem cumbersome and the UX can be complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were trying to find a tool which would help our company have one central place where the teams could clarify requirements and project discussions. Confluence does this very well as-well as integrating into Jira where we track the progress of a project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend time watching videos about how to use it before you jump in.
Confluence Review
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence gives my team a single, central place to store all documentation without having to worry about versioning, ownership, or access privileges. It's great at what it does, and integrates nicely with JIRA.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only real negative I've seen is that it is difficult to import documents from our existing shared network drive directly into Confluence, although this isn't a problem Atlassian can be expected so reasonably solve, given how many different environments it would have to support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with a medium sized (~20 people) team, some working remotely, to develop a software product given constantly changing customer demands using Agile methodology.
Easy to use collaborative documentation
What do you like best about the product?
- ease of use and clear UI
- ready-to-use macros for embedding links, code, pictures, diagrams, and more
- multiple teams and permission levels for access customization
- watch and monitor pages for changes with email notification

What do you dislike about the product?
- uses own wiki-like markup and formatting, which is not very flexible
- cannot view tree method viewing multiple pages and directories to manipulate many pages at once (or at least I couldn't find it)
- version control per page is not intuitive and not easy to use

- version control per page is not intuitive and not easy to use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you want a centralized source of information similar to Wikipedia, Confluence is a good choice. With its collaborative document system and its ease of use, one can realize how easy manipulating the documents are.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test drive the confluence documentation hierarchy, try writing a few documents, and then link to several other files or directories. You should see how easy or hard it is after trying it out.
Awesome Product for Docs
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create and maintain docs for enterprises
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacks good integration with tools such as slack
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Maintaining Docs. Its well managed through Confluence.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good product to use at enterprise level
Documenters Dream
What do you like best about the product?
It's very simple to create a navigational hierarchy that makes sense.
What do you dislike about the product?
Page security permissions are challenging - they inherit the permissions from the page above in the hierarchy, and you cannot override that on a per-page basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting product, internal decisions... scoping projects, team building, organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have an internal champion to help guide teams into setting up their spaces to the best effect.
