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."Collaboration is most valuable. You can upload or create your documents on Confluence and share them with your team members. Your team members also can share documents."
"The best feature is the automatic tagging of information in documents. The automatic algorithm highlights irrelevant information that conflict with the actual documents."
"Great shareable and co-editing features."
"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."
"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."
"What I find the most valuable about Confluence is how easy it is to use."
"The most valuable feature of Atlassian Confluence is the ability to access your files from anywhere."
"It is easy to use."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
"SharePoint is already moving to cloud, if you are using SharePoint online, which is cloud-based technology, it is more accessible."
"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."
"The most valuable features of SharePoint Online are content management, document management, and approval processes. Additionally, there are a number of features that provide integration with multiple Office services and external services."
"It improved transparency around work products."
"I do like the collaboration around documents. The versioning history has proven useful in some instances as well."
"The UI is good but bland. It could be updated a bit to make it more modern and interesting to look at."
"Confluence cannot replace Microsoft Word at the moment, so even though it can be used as a document management system, it is not meant for document creation, which adds a lot of limitations to it."
"I would like to see the text editor upgraded from its current limited abilities."
"An area for improvement would be the intuitiveness of using the features, especially if you want to customize."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"When you are creating a table in Confluence, there is no tool to export it into Excel sheet for quick references. We can only export it as an a PDF file, but not into an editable file."
"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 user interface could be improved."
"The management of the product/back-end is complex."
"Needs improvement on the user interface."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"Improve the user-friendliness."
"SharePoint’s scalability could be improved."
"The integration with Outlook could be improved."
