Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the documentation. It's a central platform, and there are many things that I can do with it. I'm very pleased about it.""It integrates well with other Atlassian products""The scalability is enough for our use cases. It covers all our needs.""The best feature is the automatic tagging of information in documents. The automatic algorithm highlights irrelevant information that conflict with the actual documents.""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.""The sharing of information and simple formatting are valuable features. That is, there are no templates, and everything uses one format. This means that people don't need to worry about formatting.""Confluence is easy to use and integrate with other solutions, including social media platforms.""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."

Cons
"Atlassian Confluence is not really a community-friendly solution.""The scalability for larger companies could be improved.""It would be interesting if they had graphical templates that allowed typical agile ceremonies to be documented better.""There is no concept of peer review or a draft mode - whatever you write is live.""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.""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.""It would be good if they can continue working towards making documentation and editing as quick and easy as possible. It has got a lot of capability, but I don't know how to use it. I don't find some of the things that intuitive. Sometimes, it doesn't seem obvious to me how to use it, but it is like learning any new tool. You actually need to get trained on the tool to get maximum out of it.""I think the couple of improvement areas would be around Markdown support and support for adding code."
