Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the ease of creating documentation, as well as charts.""What's most valuable to me in Atlassian Confluence is that it allows the concurrent development of documentation. I also like how you can add comments offline and implement changes directly on the document.""Confluence can link any ticket or task from JIRA to be included on the Confluence page.""The solution offers a lot of freedom when drafting directly online.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""This solution allowed us to easily input details beyond just text, such as creating basic data charts to monitor team performance.""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.""We value the way we can tag documentation to Jira because we can cross-reference a Jira ticket to a Confluence page, and we can also add a Confluence page to a Jira ticket."

"It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere.""They have support for integration with a lot of tools.""With this solution, the sharing of documents if very easy to do. There's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues.""It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device.""Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy.""It helps you keep organized.""It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members.""Being able to use OneDrive as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer is the most valuable feature. Rather than using OneDrive on a browser, you can also open up the Windows Explorer and I can see the file structure in the normal format."

Cons
"The area that needs improvement is the search capability. It should have generalized capabilities.""There is room for improvement in terms of pricing.""I have a couple of different pipelines that I work with. However, I'd like to see them displayed differently on the same dashboard. So, I would like to have a unified dashboard to view the different pipelines.""This is kind of by design, however, the lack of control in terms of editing the page to make it look the way you want it to look is an issue. It would be nice if there was more flexibility there.""When we import the data in Confluence from Word or any other document, the formatting is not correct.""The standard table capability is substandard and virtually unusable.""Some elements of the user interface could be more user-friendly, including embedding diagrams.""There are some issues with performance when creating tables."

More Atlassian Confluence Cons →

"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking.""An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it.""The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings.""The user interface could be a little more intuitive.""The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office.""Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support.""Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns.""There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."
