We performed a comparison between Atlassian Confluence and SharePoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."We value the way we can tag documentation to Jira because we can cross-reference a Jira ticket to a Confluence page, and we can also add a Confluence page to a Jira ticket."
"The ease of use has been one of the most valuable features. It has a very simple wiki."
"The most valuable feature of Atlassian Confluence is the ability to access your files from anywhere."
"It is a good collaboration tool."
"The product has a valuable feature for quick verification of documents."
"Confluence can link any ticket or task from JIRA to be included on the Confluence page."
"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 trial stages, the ability to connect it to Jira, and the ability to export in PDF are all good capabilities."
"There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."
"The most valuable features are the Integrations, web site, and search."
"Information is much more readily available."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
"SharePoint is already moving to cloud, if you are using SharePoint online, which is cloud-based technology, it is more accessible."
"It offers ease of use, which is crucial."
"It is very stable."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
"When we import the data in Confluence from Word or any other document, the formatting is not correct."
"The roadmap feature should be made easier to work with and modify. It's not really scalable."
"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."
"An area for improvement would be the intuitiveness of using the features, especially if you want to customize."
"I would like to see more macros provided by the company included in the license."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The UX is a little bit all over the place."
"It would be interesting if they had graphical templates that allowed typical agile ceremonies to be documented better."
"Needs improvement on the user interface."
"Annoyingly, many new Office 365 apps always end up being only US locale for the first year of their life. Microsoft needs to realise that most of their customers are not in the USA."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
"It will fully use your system resources."
"The product must provide more automation."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
