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.""The ease of use has been one of the most valuable features. It has a very simple wiki.""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.""What's most valuable to me in Atlassian Confluence is that it allows the concurrent development of documentation. I also like how you can add comments offline and implement changes directly on the document.""It seems highly scalable. There are 500 end users using this solution.""It is a good collaboration tool.""It is a very popular tool.""It's easy to use and you can create all types of pages."

"It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365.""The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable. There were multiple instances where I had lost my valuable data on hard drives in several other places. However, with Microsoft OneDrive, I've never lost a single file.""Ability to share documents.""It helps you keep organized.""One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription.""Being able to use OneDrive as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer is the most valuable feature. Rather than using OneDrive on a browser, you can also open up the Windows Explorer and I can see the file structure in the normal format.""Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."

Cons
"The product should have a workflow with approvals out-of-the-box.""I think the couple of improvement areas would be around Markdown support and support for adding code.""I'd like to see some improved reporting on usage.""This is kind of by design, however, the lack of control in terms of editing the page to make it look the way you want it to look is an issue. It would be nice if there was more flexibility there.""I would like Confluence to include the ability to draw flowcharts and diagrams.""The scalability for larger companies could be improved.""Managing user permissions and credentials could be easier.""I have a couple of different pipelines that I work with. However, I'd like to see them displayed differently on the same dashboard. So, I would like to have a unified dashboard to view the different pipelines."

More Atlassian Confluence Cons →

"The technical support is really very bad.""Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support.""Performance is an issue when sharing a large number of files in a single folder.""I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program.""The area that can be improved is to be able to share easily with folks outside the organization and with folks who don't have an office account. Sometimes, when you send a link, you might have some form of repetition. If you don't know how to share it properly, whoever you are sharing it with will have issues using it. Also, the link that you use to share a document can be made a bit shorter. It doesn't have to be long. Typically, when you want to share a document, it has everything, such as the name of the organization, SharePoint, etc. A short URL will be easier to use, and it will just make life easier, especially because a lot of people are now going mobile. I'm not sure if there's a mobile version of Microsoft OneDrive, similar to Google Drive. If they don't have a mobile app, it would also be nice to have a mobile app because that would help in checking out your documents. It would be easy to check your documents on the go on your phone.""An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it.""It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth.""It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."
