We performed a comparison between Atlassian Confluence and SharePoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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 trial stages, the ability to connect it to Jira, and the ability to export in PDF are all good capabilities."
"The templates are a valuable feature. You can make templates. There is a space inside where you can create pages. When you use the template, the page auto-generates text and images. You do not have to think about the structure of your page as well, which I think is a very good thing for a user. Because usually when you're in front of a blank page, it can be a bit dreadful to know where to start."
"The solution is very intuitive and provides excellent content management."
"It is stable and reliable."
"With Confluence, everything is in one place, so it's easy to find documentation."
"There is a good library of templates for a wide range of needs."
"It's easy to use and you can create all types of pages."
"It is very stable."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
"It has good integration with other MS products."
"We can now share to team members by MS Teams and assign planners to follow and update statuses in a single platform."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is file sharing or information sharing."
"The security feature is valuable."
"It would be good if they can continue working towards making documentation and editing as quick and easy as possible. It has got a lot of capability, but I don't know how to use it. I don't find some of the things that intuitive. Sometimes, it doesn't seem obvious to me how to use it, but it is like learning any new tool. You actually need to get trained on the tool to get maximum out of it."
"Space maintenance could be made a little more user-friendly."
"The product should have a workflow with approvals out-of-the-box."
"The cost of the solution is too high."
"The user interface could be improved."
"Some aspects of the drawing perspective could be improved. When we upgrade a design and make technical architecture drawings to publish, we still use Visio first and then copy and paste it. If this feature were available on Confluence, it would be a useful tool."
"Atlassian Confluence could improve the stability, there are timeouts sometimes."
"Atlassian should rethink its withdrawal of the self-hosted version of the product. They only offer cloud-based service or the "datacenter-edition", which is quite expensive for small companies and private users."
"The integration with Outlook could be improved."
"It has worked very well for me. It seems like they've improved everything. I don't have any cons about it as such, but I don't think they have a talk-to-text, speech-to-text, or speech-to-type. That would be cool for accessibility."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"We do sell Hyland OnBase, which is probably a competitor to SharePoint and does a lot more. In our own organization, we haven't had a need for it, but certainly, for our customers, we are finding that to be a better fit. In terms of the technical reasons for that, I'm not involved much on that side, so I can't give specifics, but there is certainly room for them to improve or add on certain features that clearly are not available in SharePoint, but they are available in Hyland OnBase."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
