"The most valuable feature of Atlassian Confluence is the ability to access your files from anywhere."
"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."
"A simple tool for developers to write and record team decisions explaining the product that they are creating."
"The most innovative feature of Office 365 is the Power Apps, which allows us to automate literally everything that we want automated. For example, sending attachments to specific folders on SharePoint, adding people's SharePoint when certain apps are performed, or emailing certain people at certain instances, such as when you've done a follow-up with the CRM and you need a marketing email to be sent out at a particular point."
"The way the ERP presents information for the user is very good."
"The phone VoIP product provides genuine a unified communication solution."
"We use it for documentation management, to collaborate with Microsoft Teams, web calls, web conference calls, chats, and as a documentation repository mainly. We have an Office pack suite to be able to write documentation, make spreadsheets, and create PowerPoints."
"Many of the features in Office 365 are good, but I think Excel is a very good tool."
"If you have a global solution, you can go from one product to the other very easily. And then you can share data between all the different tools of Office which is good because participation and sharing is very good. That's the most important aspect of Office 365."
"Most of the work that seems not to work offline works perfectly with Microsoft Office 2013, like converting a Word document to a PDF file."
"The solution is quite intuitive and easy to use."
"Some elements of the user interface could be more user-friendly, including embedding diagrams."
"There needs to be a flexible pricing model, where we can pick and choose services and customize our pricing model."
"When we have a project that we don't want to share with everybody but want people to know that it exists, there is no way to do this in Confluence. When a project is not shared, people cannot see that it exits."
"The UX is a little bit all over the place."
"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."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The one way in which this solution could be improved is by offering better design and UI."
"The UI is good but bland. It could be updated a bit to make it more modern and interesting to look at."
"We have found that, with Teams, if you are including one more person who is not in the company ecosystem, supposedly I'm inviting them as a guest in the chat. However, when I do that, I can't share files."
"I would like to see the macro functionality in Excel made simpler."
"Their support is so terrible and unusable except during dire emergencies."
"I started working a lot on Microsoft Teams and I find it a bit vast. It should be divided out a bit so that someone can use it for basic functionality, like audio, video, and calls. Then, if someone wants more advanced functionality for file sharing and team creation, and so on, they could use a separate app."
"Security is still complex, but the admin console improving."
"Using Office 365 is not that flexible on some mobile devices, like Android."
"Integration with other platforms can be improved."
"The integration with mobile services is not so good. It's coming, but they could improve a lot."
