"Many people enjoy its zero learning-curve."
"The search functionality is a really powerful feature."
"Confluence can link any ticket or task from JIRA to be included on the Confluence page."
"The most valuable features of Atlassian Confluence are version management and search and linkage to the JIRA tickets. They are integrated very well together. You can have links from many places and can easily jump from one to the other. If you want to find all the information about a topic, you only need to click and you receive the information."
"It integrates well with other Atlassian products"
"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."
"This solution allowed us to easily input details beyond just text, such as creating basic data charts to monitor team performance."
"The most valuable features of SharePoint Online are content management, document management, and approval processes. Additionally, there are a number of features that provide integration with multiple Office services and external services."
"We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"Tech support tops off as excellent."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
"Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS."
"This solution has helped us with the categorization, organization, management, discovery, and delivery of program and project related information."
"It has improve our organization by speeding up document sharing."
"It lacks ease of integration."
"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."
"Atlassian Confluence's old versions consume too much memory, making it an area where optimization is required from an improvement perspective."
"Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
"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 have a project that we don't want to share with everybody but want people to know that it exists, there is no way to do this in Confluence. When a project is not shared, people cannot see that it exits."
"The way Atlassian Confluence handles tickets could be improved."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"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."
"It has worked very well for me. It seems like they've improved everything. I don't have any cons about it as such, but I don't think they have a talk-to-text, speech-to-text, or speech-to-type. That would be cool for accessibility."
"Needs improvement on the user interface."
"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"It does not integrate despite being part of the Microsoft family."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
"The product must provide more automation."
