"The integration's very good. You still have integration with lots of third party products, and it's very good."
"Atlassian Confluence's most valuable features are the ease in which you can use the tool, the flexibility in creating folder structures, receiving notifications in case others put remarks on the documents, and working together on documents."
"I love the reports and the Confluence board."
"The most valuable features of Atlassian Confluence are version management and search and linkage to the JIRA tickets. They are integrated very well together. You can have links from many places and can easily jump from one to the other. If you want to find all the information about a topic, you only need to click and you receive the information."
"It has a very intuitive user interface, which every user able to manage the basic functionality of a PC will be able to work with and produce quite satisfactory results."
"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 solution helped us to see where we were going wrong and where we were doing good, and that helped us to make proper decisions"
"We can now share to team members by MS Teams and assign planners to follow and update statuses in a single platform."
"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 product provides flexibility in collaboration."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
"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."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"Quantity and variety of partners with solution development ability on the platform."
"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 flexibility and simplicity of this solution could be improved. We would also like the ability to add plugins."
"I think the couple of improvement areas would be around Markdown support and support for adding code."
"Atlassian Confluence could improve how information is shared outside our company. We had some negative experiences with the rights we have with our information when sharing it within Atlassian Confluence and with other teams outside the company. It's due to the limitations on the rights we have on the export capabilities. We don't have sufficient rights to do so."
"The roadmap feature should be made easier to work with and modify. It's not really scalable."
"There is no concept of peer review or a draft mode - whatever you write is live."
"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."
"Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
"The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
