Find out in this report how the two Corporate Portals (Enterprise Information Portals) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"Confluence can link any ticket or task from JIRA to be included on the Confluence page."
"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."
"There is a good library of templates for a wide range of needs."
"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."
"Easy to share information and the integration with JIRA is good."
"It's easy to use and you can create all types of pages."
"With Confluence, everything is in one place, so it's easy to find documentation."
"It seems highly scalable. There are 500 end users using this solution."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."
"It has improve our organization by speeding up document sharing."
"Information is much more readily available."
"It has made us faster and more efficient."
"Its functionality is enormous."
"SharePoint is already moving to cloud, if you are using SharePoint online, which is cloud-based technology, it is more accessible."
"We can now share to team members by MS Teams and assign planners to follow and update statuses in a single platform."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration and sharing."
"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."
"We would like there to be more advanced data manipulation features available in this solution, such as creating more complex charts, and a column freezing option."
"The product should have a workflow with approvals out-of-the-box."
"There are some issues with performance when creating tables."
"I'd like to see some improved reporting on usage."
"The standard table capability is substandard and virtually unusable."
"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."
"We do sell Hyland OnBase, which is probably a competitor to SharePoint and does a lot more. In our own organization, we haven't had a need for it, but certainly, for our customers, we are finding that to be a better fit. In terms of the technical reasons for that, I'm not involved much on that side, so I can't give specifics, but there is certainly room for them to improve or add on certain features that clearly are not available in SharePoint, but they are available in Hyland OnBase."
"I would like it to be more compliant with global regulations. There are certain features which could be included that currently are not there, such as compliance and record management capabilities."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve."
