"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"
"The search functionality is a really powerful feature."
"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."
"The sharing of information and simple formatting are valuable features. That is, there are no templates, and everything uses one format. This means that people don't need to worry about formatting."
"The most valuable features are hyper-linking, the Drawing Tool, and enhanced tables."
"With Confluence, everything is in one place, so it's easy to find documentation."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from its document-controlling feature. In Atlassian Confluence, controlled documents cannot be edited by anyone else."
"The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows."
"It improved transparency around work products."
"The product provides flexibility in collaboration."
"It has improve our organization by speeding up document sharing."
"It is well supported by Microsoft."
"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
"It is very stable."
"The scalability for larger companies could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in maybe the tree structure for articles. If you have a lot of articles, it becomes difficult to navigate."
"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."
"Atlassian Confluence could improve the stability, there are timeouts sometimes."
"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."
"The search function is not great."
"Atlassian Confluence should improve the interface, it needs to be more user-friendly. It is easy to use, but it could be more intuitive."
"Space maintenance could be made a little more user-friendly."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"SharePoint’s scalability could be improved."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"The way to change the version of the files in SharePoint should be improved. The method of synchronizing files from local to the cloud can also use improvement."
"It is too heavy. MS should not have paid foreign coders dollars per each row of code. They wasted the stability and reliability in the end."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve."
"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."
