"It is very stable."
"The standard table capability is substandard and virtually unusable."
"An area for improvement in Atlassian Confluence is encouraging more vital interaction among the project members or users involved.

You actually need to get trained on the tool to get maximum out of it."
"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."
"Replication needs improvement."
"We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information."
"The product must provide more automation."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities."
