"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."

"When we import the data in Confluence from Word or any other document, the formatting is not correct."
"Managing user permissions and credentials could be easier."

"I would like to see more macros provided by the company included in the license."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"The solution's data security should be improved."
"Maturity of the enterprise security around user management."
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"Better integration with other solutions is needed."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"If you want to delete something in Box, you have to do it manually, one by one. That was my recent experience. They might have a bulk delete, but I could not find that option. If you want to delete something, you have to go to each and every file and delete it."
