"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."

"The one way in which this solution could be improved is by offering better design and UI."
"This is kind of by design, however, the lack of control in terms of editing the page to make it look the way you want it to look is an issue. It would be nice if there was more flexibility there."
"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."
"Atlassian should rethink its withdrawal of the self-hosted version of the product. They only offer cloud-based service or the "datacenter-edition", which is quite expensive for small companies and private users."

"It lacks ease of integration."
"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."
"Managing user permissions and credentials could be easier."
"Replication needs improvement."
"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information."
"The management of the product/back-end is complex."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"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."
