"With Confluence, everything is in one place, so it's easy to find documentation."
"For me, the most valuable feature is its high performance. It's crucial for us in the bank, as we handle a massive number of transactions every day."
"The most valuable features are hyper-linking, the Drawing Tool, and enhanced tables."
"The solution is very intuitive and provides excellent content management."
"The trial stages, the ability to connect it to Jira, and the ability to export in PDF are all good capabilities."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The customization that Confluence offers is one of its most useful features. You can customise it based on the specific project you are working on. It also supports multiple languages."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
"We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration and sharing."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"It has improve our organization by speeding up document sharing."
"Information is now available instantly to managers on all devices."
"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 cost of the solution is too high."
"Atlassian Confluence should improve the interface, it needs to be more user-friendly. It is easy to use, but it could be more intuitive."
"The flexibility and simplicity of this solution could be improved. We would also like the ability to add plugins."
"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."
"They can improve the table feature of Confluence. It is currently not adequate."
"The dashboards should be improved."
"I think the couple of improvement areas would be around Markdown support and support for adding code."
"SharePoint sometimes cannot handle the amount of co-editing that we do."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"It is too heavy. MS should not have paid foreign coders dollars per each row of code. They wasted the stability and reliability in the end."
"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."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"The product could be improved in a lot of way. It is so frustrating to get things to work as advertised."
