Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The integration's very good. You still have integration with lots of third party products, and it's very good.""It integrates well with other Atlassian products""The most beneficial aspect is real-time collaboration, allowing multiple users to work on the same documents simultaneously.""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.""This solution allowed us to easily input details beyond just text, such as creating basic data charts to monitor team performance.""It is a very popular tool.""The trial stages, the ability to connect it to Jira, and the ability to export in PDF are all good capabilities.""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 feature is being able to export to Microsoft Project."

Cons
"I would like to see the text editor upgraded from its current limited abilities.""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.""When we have a project that we don't want to share with everybody but want people to know that it exists, there is no way to do this in Confluence. When a project is not shared, people cannot see that it exits.""There needs to be a flexible pricing model, where we can pick and choose services and customize our pricing model.""When we import the data in Confluence from Word or any other document, the formatting is not correct.""The cost of the solution is too high.""Managing user permissions and credentials could be easier.""Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."

"Since I have been using such an old version, most of the improvements have already been made, but I would suggest moving forward with the times and creating a cloud-based solution for universal access."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:The most valuable feature of the solution stems from its document-controlling feature. In Atlassian Confluence, controlled documents cannot be edited by anyone else.
