"It has good integration with other MS products."
"I would like to see more macros provided by the company included in the license."
"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."
"We would like there to be more advanced data manipulation features available in this solution, such as creating more complex charts, and a column freezing option."
"Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
"An area for improvement would be the intuitiveness of using the features, especially if you want to customize."

"The area that needs improvement is the search capability. It should have generalized capabilities."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"I would like it to be more compliant with global regulations. There are certain features which could be included that currently are not there, such as compliance and record management capabilities."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"We do sell Hyland OnBase, which is probably a competitor to SharePoint and does a lot more. In our own organization, we haven't had a need for it, but certainly, for our customers, we are finding that to be a better fit. In terms of the technical reasons for that, I'm not involved much on that side, so I can't give specifics, but there is certainly room for them to improve or add on certain features that clearly are not available in SharePoint, but they are available in Hyland OnBase."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty."
