"When we have a project that we don't want to share with everybody but want people to know that it exists, there is no way to do this in Confluence. When a project is not shared, people cannot see that it exits."
"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."
"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."
"The way Atlassian Confluence handles tickets could be improved."
"The UI is good but bland. It could be updated a bit to make it more modern and interesting to look at."

"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"Make it more intuitive."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."

"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
