"The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the searching elements of the metadata."
"I like the ease of use, sections, and calendar."
"It is easy to use."
"The scalability is enough for our use cases. It covers all our needs."
"The integration's very good. You still have integration with lots of third party products, and it's very good."
"Easy to share information and the integration with JIRA is good."
"The customization that Confluence offers is one of its most useful features. You can customise it based on the specific project you are working on. It also supports multiple languages."
"Confluence can link any ticket or task from JIRA to be included on the Confluence page."
"It is just the fact that it is a one-stop shop for all project documentation. It is compared to storing things in files and directories and stuff like that. It provides the overall usability and accessibility of many projects and documents in one area."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"I think the presentation layer could be improved - currently, it's too complex, and there are too many features cluttered all over the screen."
"Alfresco has a very steep learning curve, and unfortunately, during the learning process, it's very easy to make errors, which often are unforgiving."
"I would like them to consider document capture functionality."
"Metadata, auto class, disposition log, and legal hold."
"I'd like to see some improved reporting on usage."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"The way Atlassian Confluence handles tickets could be improved."
"The UI is good but bland. It could be updated a bit to make it more modern and interesting to look at."
"The price could be improved. I have heard that certain adjustments would be made in 2024 and that it will then be more expensive, but I don't know the specifics."
"In the next release, I would like to have the ability to import pictures."
"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 needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
