Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Drupal and others in Corporate Portals (Enterprise Information Portals)."With Confluence, everything is in one place, so it's easy to find documentation."
"The trial stages, the ability to connect it to Jira, and the ability to export in PDF are all good capabilities."
"The search functionality is a really powerful feature."
"Atlassian Confluence is flexible and allows adding different types of context on the page and connecting a hypertext, like a web page, without a source."
"What's most valuable to me in Atlassian Confluence is that it allows the concurrent development of documentation. I also like how you can add comments offline and implement changes directly on the document."
"The customization that Confluence offers is one of its most useful features. You can customise it based on the specific project you are working on. It also supports multiple languages."
"The most valuable features are hyper-linking, the Drawing Tool, and enhanced tables."
"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."
"HCL Verse has a nice interface and it is a practical email solution. There are a diverse set of features, such as the search bar on top of the screens."
"The most valuable feature is the mail server."
"The cost of the solution is too high."
"Some aspects of the drawing perspective could be improved. When we upgrade a design and make technical architecture drawings to publish, we still use Visio first and then copy and paste it. If this feature were available on Confluence, it would be a useful tool."
"Atlassian Confluence could improve the stability, there are timeouts sometimes."
"I think the couple of improvement areas would be around Markdown support and support for adding code."
"Some macros can be technical, and they are better managed on the Confluence cloud rather than on-premises. For example, when you add an image on the cloud, you can resize it just by using the mouse. This is not the case on-premises yet. You have to write pixels of the size of the image sometimes. Some of the very old macros are still there, and some of them are technical. It can be hard for users if they are not from an IT background to understand how to use them quickly."
"Some elements of the user interface could be more user-friendly, including embedding diagrams."
"Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
"The search function is not great."
"Security is very important to us, so improvements to this functionality are welcome."
"The solution could improve by allowing us to use a color that we want in the editing boxes."
