We performed a comparison between Atlassian Confluence and SharePoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Collaboration is most valuable. You can upload or create your documents on Confluence and share them with your team members. Your team members also can share documents."
"The most valuable feature is the accessibility from different sites for different colleagues and the search option."
"The most valuable features are the ease of creating documentation, as well as charts."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Confluence can link any ticket or task from JIRA to be included on the Confluence page."
"Confluence is easy to use and integrate with other solutions, including social media platforms."
"The templates are a valuable feature. You can make templates. There is a space inside where you can create pages. When you use the template, the page auto-generates text and images. You do not have to think about the structure of your page as well, which I think is a very good thing for a user. Because usually when you're in front of a blank page, it can be a bit dreadful to know where to start."
"The best feature is document management."
"For SharePoint, I believe the most valuable feature is the customization and allowing you to share and edit files and documents. Being able to share externally and the precise administration of the files in terms of giving permissions and controlling who has access to what is a very good feature."
"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 workflow feature is valuable because it enables us to cascade responsibilities."
"It facilitates collaboration and the ability to create custom workflows."
"It improved transparency around work products."
"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."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"The security feature is valuable."
"There is room for improvement in maybe the tree structure for articles. If you have a lot of articles, it becomes difficult to navigate."
"The product is considered expensive."
"I'd like to see some improved reporting on usage."
"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 is not really a community-friendly solution."
"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's old versions consume too much memory, making it an area where optimization is required from an improvement perspective."
"The way Atlassian Confluence handles tickets could be improved."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
"The integration with Outlook could be improved."
"Replication needs improvement."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty."
"SharePoint Online could improve the user interface and when modifying any of the user interfaces can be challenging. Additionally, there are challenges with the detail in the analytics user interface and the overall customization could improve."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
