Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The most valuable feature is the accessibility from different sites for different colleagues and the search option.""The most valuable feature of Atlassian Confluence is the ability to access your files from anywhere.""The ease of use has been one of the most valuable features. It has a very simple wiki.""There is a good library of templates for a wide range of needs.""A simple tool for developers to write and record team decisions explaining the product that they are creating.""The trial stages, the ability to connect it to Jira, and the ability to export in PDF are all good capabilities.""It integrates well with other Atlassian products"

"Storage is the best thing about the solution.""The product was easy to use.""A full-featured collaboration tool that is as easy to use as Facebook.""The solution is used as a knowledge platform for sharing knowledge and information that everybody can easily access."

Cons
"Atlassian should rethink its withdrawal of the self-hosted version of the product. They only offer cloud-based service or the "datacenter-edition", which is quite expensive for small companies and private users.""Managing user permissions and credentials could be easier.""I would like to see integration with Slack.""The UX is a little bit all over the place.""The product is considered expensive.""I'd like to see some improved reporting on usage.""In the next release, I would like to have the ability to import pictures.""The standard table capability is substandard and virtually unusable."

"There needs to be a restriction on who can download content.""The conferencing feature does not work well with multiple parties or locations.""The product should allow users to assign tasks and automate processes.""The implementation could be made easier."
