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."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."
"The trial stages, the ability to connect it to Jira, and the ability to export in PDF are all good capabilities."
"The interface is good....I didn't face any issues with the scalability. It was very good."
"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."
"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."
"Atlassian Confluence is flexible and allows adding different types of context on the page and connecting a hypertext, like a web page, without a source."
"The scalability is enough for our use cases. It covers all our needs."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from its document-controlling feature. In Atlassian Confluence, controlled documents cannot be edited by anyone else."
"No code and low code, scalable, and stable collaboration platform. Straightforward to set up. Its support system is good and offers fast issue resolution."
"The product makes it easy to manage lists, forms, searching, and security. One of the most valuable features is its integration with Active Directory."
"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."
"Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"It facilitates collaboration and the ability to create custom workflows."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"Combined reports and data with timeline tracking."
"When we import the data in Confluence from Word or any other document, the formatting is not correct."
"Some elements of the user interface could be more user-friendly, including embedding diagrams."
"Atlassian Confluence's old versions consume too much memory, making it an area where optimization is required from an improvement perspective."
"It lacks ease of integration."
"The product is considered expensive."
"Atlassian Confluence is not really a community-friendly solution."
"The one way in which this solution could be improved is by offering better design and UI."
"The UX is a little bit all over the place."
"Search can be improved a lot because we are always trying to compare it with Google Search. Beyond that, it would be helpful to tag the documents."
"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."
"Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format."
"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."
"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."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"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."
