Find out in this report how the two Corporate Portals (Enterprise Information Portals) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The best feature is document management."
"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 integration's very good. You still have integration with lots of third party products, and it's very good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from its document-controlling feature. In Atlassian Confluence, controlled documents cannot be edited by anyone else."
"It's easy to use and you can create all types of pages."
"It is a good collaboration tool."
"This is a scalable solution that supports thousands of users."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration and sharing."
"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."
"The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily build intranet sites for communicating within teams, storing documentation, product information, pricing policies, updates on product infrastructure, and other related news."
"Helps with document collaboration and workflow."
"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."
"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."
"The ability to take Excel files and make them dynamic SharePoint lists with instant reporting capabilities has been a major benefit."
"Atlassian Confluence should improve the interface, it needs to be more user-friendly. It is easy to use, but it could be more intuitive."
"I would like to see more macros provided by the company included in the license."
"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."
"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."
"An area for improvement would be the intuitiveness of using the features, especially if you want to customize."
"I would like to see integration with Slack."
"There are some issues with performance when creating tables."
"Confluence cannot replace Microsoft Word at the moment, so even though it can be used as a document management system, it is not meant for document creation, which adds a lot of limitations to it."
"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."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"There's a challenge with desktop applications synchronizing with online documents in real-time. If someone is working on a document in the desktop version of Excel, for example, and someone else is editing the same document online, the changes won't sync immediately. That's the only real challenge we've encountered."
"Improve the user-friendliness."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
"The product must provide more automation."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
