I also like how you can add comments offline and implement changes directly on the document."
"I love the reports and the Confluence board."
"There is a good library of templates for a wide range of needs."
"The solution is stable."
"The best feature is the automatic tagging of information in documents. The automatic algorithm highlights irrelevant information that conflict with the actual documents."
"It integrates well with other Atlassian products"
"As for valuable features, the team management features help us to share information very easily."
"The ease of use has been one of the most valuable features. It has a very simple wiki."

"Atlassian Confluence's old versions consume too much memory, making it an area where optimization is required from an improvement perspective."
"It would be interesting if they had graphical templates that allowed typical agile ceremonies to be documented better."
"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."
"An area for improvement in Atlassian Confluence is encouraging more vital interaction among the project members or users involved. 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."
"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."
"I think the couple of improvement areas would be around Markdown support and support for adding code."
"There is no concept of peer review or a draft mode - whatever you write is live."
"Search can be improved a lot because we are always trying to compare it with Google Search. Beyond that, it would be helpful to tag the documents."
"We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
