Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is very easy.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The scalability is enough for our use cases. It covers all our needs.""The solution offers a lot of freedom when drafting directly online.""I like the documentation. It's a central platform, and there are many things that I can do with it. I'm very pleased about it.""It's easy to search for information.""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.""We have found limiting permissions and history very valuable."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription.""It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere.""The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful.""It helps you keep organized.""One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it.""It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365.""Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy.""It was extremely easy to setup."

Cons
"Confluence cannot replace Microsoft Word at the moment, so even though it can be used as a document management system, it is not meant for document creation, which adds a lot of limitations to it.""The cost of the solution is too high.""There is room for improvement in terms of pricing.""We have to use other applications that make Atlassian Confluence more customized for what you want. They should improve by adding the ability to make more customizations.""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's old versions consume too much memory, making it an area where optimization is required from an improvement perspective.""In the next release, I would like to have the ability to import pictures.""I'd like to see some improved reporting on usage."

More Atlassian Confluence Cons →

"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it.""The initial setup is a bit clunky.""The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office.""It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs.""There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files.""The user interface could be a little more intuitive.""An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice.""No one gets an alert when files are deleted."
