Find out in this report how the two Corporate Portals (Enterprise Information Portals) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With Confluence, everything is in one place, so it's easy to find documentation."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I love the reports and the Confluence board."
"It is a very popular tool."
"Collaboration is most valuable. You can upload or create your documents on Confluence and share them with your team members. Your team members also can share documents."
"A simple tool for developers to write and record team decisions explaining the product that they are creating."
"The trial stages, the ability to connect it to Jira, and the ability to export in PDF are all good capabilities."
"The most valuable features of Atlassian Confluence are version management and search and linkage to the JIRA tickets. They are integrated very well together. You can have links from many places and can easily jump from one to the other. If you want to find all the information about a topic, you only need to click and you receive the information."
"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."
"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."
"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."
"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"The solution is easy to install."
"Manageability is very good and probably the most valuable part of a tool of this type. There is a little more of a learning curve than you have with a simple tool, but a business user can learn to manage the system as an administrator very easily."
"We chose Liferay because it is open-source and that we can make any number of users apply, register into the system and use the system, as opposed to other solutions where the cost is based on user licenses. This is one of the most attractive features."
"It allows us to arrange and develop new ideas, then incorporate them into the portal. We can create a one stop information center, so people can access the information from one window."
"RAM usage seems to be higher than it should be."
"It lacks ease of integration."
"Some macros can be technical, and they are better managed on the Confluence cloud rather than on-premises. For example, when you add an image on the cloud, you can resize it just by using the mouse. This is not the case on-premises yet. You have to write pixels of the size of the image sometimes. Some of the very old macros are still there, and some of them are technical. It can be hard for users if they are not from an IT background to understand how to use them quickly."
"I would like to see the text editor upgraded from its current limited abilities."
"Space maintenance could be made a little more user-friendly."
"The user interface is a little bit stale. The file attachments and how they work could be improved. There is also room for improvement when it comes to CDNs."
"Atlassian Confluence could improve the stability, there are timeouts sometimes."
"The flexibility and simplicity of this solution could be improved. We would also like the ability to add plugins."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."
"It could be improved in terms of adding filters to some of the rules. Therefore, you can retain how long a document would need to stay in an archive."
"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
