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."The search functionality is a really powerful feature."
"I like the documentation. It's a central platform, and there are many things that I can do with it. I'm very pleased about it."
"The templates are a valuable feature. You can make templates. There is a space inside where you can create pages. When you use the template, the page auto-generates text and images. You do not have to think about the structure of your page as well, which I think is a very good thing for a user. Because usually when you're in front of a blank page, it can be a bit dreadful to know where to start."
"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."
"Confluence is easy to use and integrate with other solutions, including social media platforms."
"It is stable and reliable."
"A simple tool for developers to write and record team decisions explaining the product that they are creating."
"The best feature is document management."
"Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS."
"The workflow feature is valuable because it enables us to cascade responsibilities."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
"I do like the collaboration around documents. The versioning history has proven useful in some instances as well."
"Combined reports and data with timeline tracking."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily build intranet sites for communicating within teams, storing documentation, product information, pricing policies, updates on product infrastructure, and other related news."
"It offers ease of use, which is crucial."
"There is room for improvement in maybe the tree structure for articles. If you have a lot of articles, it becomes difficult to navigate."
"Atlassian Confluence's old versions consume too much memory, making it an area where optimization is required from an improvement perspective."
"Space maintenance could be made a little more user-friendly."
"The UX is a little bit all over the place."
"The user interface is a little bit stale. The file attachments and how they work could be improved. There is also room for improvement when it comes to CDNs."
"RAM usage seems to be higher than it should be."
"I would like to see more macros provided by the company included in the license."
"In the next release, I would like to have the ability to import pictures."
"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"Replication needs improvement."
"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 solution lacks collaboration features."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"Processing data from multiple site collections is not easy as they reside in different databases."
"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."
