"The most valuable features are that it's very secure and provides audit trails for our documents.""I like the cloud and its integrability.""We found the setup process to be okay since they do offer a troubleshooting guide.""The solution is very developed and we are not taking full advantage of its functionalities.""The retention module is one of the most valuable features. Whatever we scan onto the system can be identified and we are notified when the records are due to be disposed.""OnBase is a remarkable tool. It is a well-done product. Hyland has a lot of experience in building it and looking for new things for clients in terms of functionalities. It has amazing stability, and it can grow horizontally and vertically. It is built for growth. Their technical support is also quite good and available throughout the year."

Cons
"The roadmap feature should be made easier to work with and modify. It's not really scalable.""The dashboards should be improved.""Atlassian Confluence could improve how information is shared outside our company. We had some negative experiences with the rights we have with our information when sharing it within Atlassian Confluence and with other teams outside the company. It's due to the limitations on the rights we have on the export capabilities. We don't have sufficient rights to do so.""The UI is good but bland. It could be updated a bit to make it more modern and interesting to look at.""There is room for improvement in maybe the tree structure for articles. If you have a lot of articles, it becomes difficult to navigate.""In the next release, I would like to have the ability to import pictures.""It lacks ease of integration.""An area for improvement in Atlassian Confluence is encouraging more vital interaction among the project members or users involved. I was researching a tool that could be used for better interactions offline among users on a specific topic or discussion. That feature would make Atlassian Confluence better."

More Atlassian Confluence Cons →

"For user experience, they would have to do more with the interface. It is not easy to work with and is a little messy. It is getting better, but it is not yet good enough. Other products are comparatively doing better in terms of the user interface. I have been hearing about Box, which is very easy to use and learn for the users. OnBase has to work on this aspect. It should have BPM capabilities. We compete with tools that provide the BPM feature and support those standards. They can do better in terms of the pricing model. It is a really expensive tool in Latin America. They should have different prices for different regions.""We are struggling with duplicates and would like to have OCR functionality when using this solution.""The look and feel could be better. The integration with the user could be better. It could also be more user-friendly.""The dashboards do have some room for improvement as compared to the other vendors which are there in the market.""An area for improvement would be the training - getting our people up to speed on how to use it required more training than we expected due to the complexity of the solution.""We need to troubleshoot why our reports didn't get downloaded in a day. There is a workflow feature which powerful but also complicated."
