"The solution offers a lot of freedom when drafting directly online."

"It would be good if they can continue working towards making documentation and editing as quick and easy as possible. It has got a lot of capability, but I don't know how to use it. I don't find some of the things that intuitive. Sometimes, it doesn't seem obvious to me how to use it, but it is like learning any new tool. You actually need to get trained on the tool to get maximum out of it."
"RAM usage seems to be higher than it should be."
"Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
"Some elements of the user interface could be more user-friendly, including embedding diagrams."

I was researching a tool that could be used for better interactions offline among users on a specific topic or discussion. That feature would make Atlassian Confluence better."
"Atlassian Confluence could improve the stability, there are timeouts sometimes."
"The UX is a little bit all over the place."
"I would like to see more macros provided by the company included in the license."
"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."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"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."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control."
"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
"During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty."
"I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve."
