Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Liferay and others in Corporate Portals (Enterprise Information Portals)."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."
"The solution helped us to see where we were going wrong and where we were doing good, and that helped us to make proper decisions"
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Confluence is easy to use and integrate with other solutions, including social media platforms."
"As for valuable features, the team management features help us to share information very easily."
"It's easy to use and you can create all types of pages."
"Pricing is not a problem."
"It is just the fact that it is a one-stop shop for all project documentation. It is compared to storing things in files and directories and stuff like that. It provides the overall usability and accessibility of many projects and documents in one area."
"The vertical scalability, as we can use it across some of our applications."
"The scalability is a valuable feature, that we're able to display our documents to so many people."
"The content management is all about you as you can make the same content for minimal purpose solutions applications."
"The tool is a very stable solution with high availability and no information leakage. It has built-in API integration on-site. You can integrate with other components and applications like SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, etc."
"The roadmap feature should be made easier to work with and modify. It's not really scalable."
"There is no concept of peer review or a draft mode - whatever you write is live."
"I'd like to see some improved reporting on usage."
"RAM usage seems to be higher than it should be."
"It lacks ease of integration."
"The price could be improved. I have heard that certain adjustments would be made in 2024 and that it will then be more expensive, but I don't know the specifics."
"The standard table capability is substandard and virtually unusable."
"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."
"I would like to see seamless application integration."
"I think it's already getting away from Java applets. A lot of our users struggle with keeping up to date with Java versioning, so a lot of the functions they're doing, like printing, emailing, and even some of the viewing, they're struggling with."
"I would recommend not going with ECM 8 and going with FileNet instead. It seems like that is the future of the lower-volume repository. It seems like they are moving away from ECM 8.5 so I think we're going to have some challenges coming up, getting off of that technology."
"The development platform is not local. For example, you need 100 days in IBM, whereas other platforms, like ServiceNow, need only 20 days."
