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."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."
"Confluence is easy to use and integrate with other solutions, including social media platforms."
"The best feature is document management."
"With respect to our experiences with Confluence, we haven't had any issues."
"It is just the fact that it is a one-stop shop for all project documentation. It is compared to storing things in files and directories and stuff like that. It provides the overall usability and accessibility of many projects and documents in one area."
"Great shareable and co-editing features."
"Confluence can link any ticket or task from JIRA to be included on the Confluence page."
"The most valuable features are the ease of creating documentation, as well as charts."
"No code and low code, scalable, and stable collaboration platform. Straightforward to set up. Its support system is good and offers fast issue resolution."
"Document flows, storage, and numbering take off the actions for checking and assigning the numbering and running around with approvals and pre-approvals."
"For SharePoint, I believe the most valuable feature is the customization and allowing you to share and edit files and documents. Being able to share externally and the precise administration of the files in terms of giving permissions and controlling who has access to what is a very good feature."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
"Helps with document collaboration and workflow."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"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."
"We have to use other applications that make Atlassian Confluence more customized for what you want. They should improve by adding the ability to make more customizations."
"I have a couple of different pipelines that I work with. However, I'd like to see them displayed differently on the same dashboard. So, I would like to have a unified dashboard to view the different pipelines."
"There needs to be a flexible pricing model, where we can pick and choose services and customize our pricing model."
"Atlassian Confluence could improve the stability, there are timeouts sometimes."
"There are some issues with performance when creating tables."
"Atlassian Confluence should improve the interface, it needs to be more user-friendly. It is easy to use, but it could be more intuitive."
"I would like Confluence to include the ability to draw flowcharts and diagrams."
"The dashboards should be improved."
"The product must provide more automation."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"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."
"We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information."
"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
"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."
