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."As for valuable features, the team management features help us to share information very easily."
"Confluence is easy to use and integrate with other solutions, including social media platforms."
"With Confluence, everything is in one place, so it's easy to find documentation."
"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 most valuable features are hyper-linking, the Drawing Tool, and enhanced tables."
"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 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 initial setup is easy."
"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."
"It offers ease of use, which is crucial."
"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"The most valuable features are the Integrations, web site, and search."
"The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"No code and low code, scalable, and stable collaboration platform. Straightforward to set up. Its support system is good and offers fast issue resolution."
"I'd like to see some improved reporting on usage."
"It would be interesting if they had graphical templates that allowed typical agile ceremonies to be documented better."
"Some aspects of the drawing perspective could be improved. When we upgrade a design and make technical architecture drawings to publish, we still use Visio first and then copy and paste it. If this feature were available on Confluence, it would be a useful tool."
"The user interface is a little bit stale. The file attachments and how they work could be improved. There is also room for improvement when it comes to CDNs."
"The one way in which this solution could be improved is by offering better design and UI."
"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."
"There is no concept of peer review or a draft mode - whatever you write is live."
"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."
"Processing data from multiple site collections is not easy as they reside in different databases."
"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."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"The product could be improved in a lot of way. It is so frustrating to get things to work as advertised."
"Workflow is something that can become more intelligent."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
"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."
