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."
"The product has a valuable feature for quick verification of documents."
"What I find the most valuable about Confluence is how easy it is to use."
"The best feature is the automatic tagging of information in documents. The automatic algorithm highlights irrelevant information that conflict with the actual documents."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is a very popular tool."
"The most beneficial aspect is real-time collaboration, allowing multiple users to work on the same documents simultaneously."
"We value the way we can tag documentation to Jira because we can cross-reference a Jira ticket to a Confluence page, and we can also add a Confluence page to a Jira ticket."
"We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits."
"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."
"The search feature is valuable."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"Quantity and variety of partners with solution development ability on the platform."
"Ability to store files of any type."
"No code and low code, scalable, and stable collaboration platform. Straightforward to set up. Its support system is good and offers fast issue resolution."
"Information is now available instantly to managers on all devices."
"When we import the data in Confluence from Word or any other document, the formatting is not correct."
"The one way in which this solution could be improved is by offering better design and UI."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"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."
"The area that needs improvement is the search capability. It should have generalized capabilities."
"There needs to be a flexible pricing model, where we can pick and choose services and customize our pricing model."
"There is no concept of peer review or a draft mode - whatever you write is live."
"Atlassian Confluence is not really a community-friendly solution."
"There are some limitations on storage."
"Make it more intuitive."
"SharePoint Online could improve the user interface and when modifying any of the user interfaces can be challenging. Additionally, there are challenges with the detail in the analytics user interface and the overall customization could improve."
"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 more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
