"The product is considered expensive."
"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 solution is not very user-friendly."
"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."

"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."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
