"The initial setup is easy."

"Atlassian should rethink its withdrawal of the self-hosted version of the product. They only offer cloud-based service or the "datacenter-edition", which is quite expensive for small companies and private users."
"We have to use other applications that make Atlassian Confluence more customized for what you want. They should improve by adding the ability to make more customizations."

"I think the couple of improvement areas would be around Markdown support and support for adding code."
"I would like to see integration with Slack."
"An area for improvement in Atlassian Confluence is encouraging more vital interaction among the project members or users involved.

"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"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."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control."
"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."
"There's a challenge with desktop applications synchronizing with online documents in real-time. If someone is working on a document in the desktop version of Excel, for example, and someone else is editing the same document online, the changes won't sync immediately. That's the only real challenge we've encountered."
"It will fully use your system resources."
"Using SharePoint is difficult."
