"The most valuable feature of Atlassian Confluence it's very easy to use and there are different options."
"The most valuable feature is the accessibility from different sites for different colleagues and the search option."
"The solution offers a lot of freedom when drafting directly online."
"It integrates well with other Atlassian products"
"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."
"For any organization with more than one person in it, if they are trying to organize things to let people in the company know what others are doing, then this solution is good for them."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits."
"This solution has helped us with the categorization, organization, management, discovery, and delivery of program and project related information."

"Atlassian Confluence could improve the stability, there are timeouts sometimes."
"I'd like to see some improved reporting on usage."
"We have to use other applications that make Atlassian Confluence more customized for what you want. They should improve by adding the ability to make more customizations."
"Atlassian Confluence should improve the interface, it needs to be more user-friendly. It is easy to use, but it could be more intuitive."
"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."
"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'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."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"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."
"It has worked very well for me. It seems like they've improved everything. I don't have any cons about it as such, but I don't think they have a talk-to-text, speech-to-text, or speech-to-type. That would be cool for accessibility."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"It is too heavy. MS should not have paid foreign coders dollars per each row of code. They wasted the stability and reliability in the end."
"It does not integrate despite being part of the Microsoft family."
"It should have more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
