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."Atlassian Confluence is flexible and allows adding different types of context on the page and connecting a hypertext, like a web page, without a source."
"I think that it is one of the best products on the market from my experience."
"It integrates well with other Atlassian products"
"The ease of use has been one of the most valuable features. It has a very simple wiki."
"It has a very intuitive user interface, which every user able to manage the basic functionality of a PC will be able to work with and produce quite satisfactory results."
"The best feature is document management."
"This is a scalable solution that supports thousands of users."
"It is a good collaboration tool."
"Information is much more readily available."
"It's stable. It's very widely used by companies. Also, the knowledge of the product has improved over the years, and by other companies that support it or are Microsoft SharePoint partners. So if there are problems, there's always a user or company that knows the information or can help you; even with very uncommon problems."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"Information is now available instantly to managers on all devices."
"We can now share to team members by MS Teams and assign planners to follow and update statuses in a single platform."
"It is well supported by Microsoft."
"The ability to take Excel files and make them dynamic SharePoint lists with instant reporting capabilities has been a major benefit."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."
"Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
"When we have a project that we don't want to share with everybody but want people to know that it exists, there is no way to do this in Confluence. When a project is not shared, people cannot see that it exits."
"There are some issues with performance when creating tables."
"In the next release, I would like to have the ability to import pictures."
"The solution is not very user-friendly."
"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."
"The standard table capability is substandard and virtually unusable."
"The user interface could be improved."
"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."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities."
"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."
"The way to change the version of the files in SharePoint should be improved. The method of synchronizing files from local to the cloud can also use improvement."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"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."
"The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem."
