"The most valuable feature of Atlassian Confluence is the ability to access your files from anywhere."
"This is a scalable solution that supports thousands of users."

"The sharing of information and simple formatting are valuable features. That is, there are no templates, and everything uses one format. This means that people don't need to worry about formatting."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from its document-controlling feature. In Atlassian Confluence, controlled documents cannot be edited by anyone else."
"Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS."
"Information is much more readily available."
"Information is now available instantly to managers on all devices."
"Removed the need of paper storage and people flow into the office."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"It is well supported by Microsoft."
"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."
"It is very stable."
"An area for improvement in Atlassian Confluence is encouraging more vital interaction among the project members or users involved. I was researching a tool that could be used for better interactions offline among users on a specific topic or discussion. That feature would make Atlassian Confluence better."
"I would like to see integration with Slack."
"RAM usage seems to be higher than it should be."
"Atlassian Confluence is not really a community-friendly solution."
"Some elements of the user interface could be more user-friendly, including embedding diagrams."
"When we import the data in Confluence from Word or any other document, the formatting is not correct."
"The area that needs improvement is the search capability. It should have generalized capabilities."
"Space maintenance could be made a little more user-friendly."
"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."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"The product could be improved in a lot of way. It is so frustrating to get things to work as advertised."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
