Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Liferay and others in Corporate Portals (Enterprise Information Portals)."The search functionality is a really powerful feature."
"The most valuable feature of Atlassian Confluence it's very easy to use and there are different options."
"With respect to our experiences with Confluence, we haven't had any issues."
"The solution helped us to see where we were going wrong and where we were doing good, and that helped us to make proper decisions"
"This solution allowed us to easily input details beyond just text, such as creating basic data charts to monitor team performance."
"I love the reports and the Confluence board."
"With Confluence, everything is in one place, so it's easy to find documentation."
"It has a very intuitive user interface, which every user able to manage the basic functionality of a PC will be able to work with and produce quite satisfactory results."
"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."
"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."
"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."
"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."
"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."
"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."
"The solution is easy to install."
"When you are creating a table in Confluence, there is no tool to export it into Excel sheet for quick references. We can only export it as an a PDF file, but not into an editable file."
"Managing user permissions and credentials could be easier."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"When we import the data in Confluence from Word or any other document, the formatting is not correct."
"Atlassian Confluence could improve how information is shared outside our company. We had some negative experiences with the rights we have with our information when sharing it within Atlassian Confluence and with other teams outside the company. It's due to the limitations on the rights we have on the export capabilities. We don't have sufficient rights to do so."
"I think the couple of improvement areas would be around Markdown support and support for adding code."
"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"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."
"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
