Confluence on an Enterprise Level
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is a great social sharing software platform across the enterprise. It also integrates with JIRA which is great because you can denote tasks to the Development team and include a JIRA number associated with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not as easy to develop. There are YouTube videos about an hour long that can explain the process, which is what I would recommend doing. Confluence Sales team acually provide these YouTube videos so anyone can search for it, unless YouTube IP address is blocked at the entity level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing Project ideas, JIRA tickets across the organization and be able to direct each item to select individuals or Groups. Sharing of documents is a great feture because it provides document revision history.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure your organization has gone through confluence training as it is very easy to delete content if you have permissions. Security and Permission is a factor when adding people or groups to the Confluence project.
Pretty reliable collaboration with lots of useful extensions
What do you like best about the product?
There are lots of useful extensions. Popular file formats like Ppt, Xls, Doc, Pdf are supported very well and can be previewed live without downloading.
What do you dislike about the product?
The table features are not very user-friendly. You can do lots of cool things with them, but something like an embedded excel spreadsheet with formula support would be much better than those complex macros currently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tons of problems. From technical specifications, user manuals, how-tos to internal notes. It's very convenient to collaborate with others on Confluence. You can highlight some words to leave an inline comment to give your opinion on those words. The history tracking is also excellent. You can quickly see previous revisions of a document, compare them with each other, and see who changed what.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a good collaboration tool, the type of easy to learn, hard to master. There are advanced features that definitely could be better.

Let's make our life better
It's pretty good
What do you like best about the product?
Our organization has adopted Confluence fully, so anything I publish there will be easy to share
What do you dislike about the product?
Confluence Server (which we use) lacks some of the rich page formatting available in the Cloud version. It also requires VPN access, which can be difficult from certain locations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I document ideas, project specifications, design decisions, and career growth plans. The biggest benefit is that I can share things with others in the organization and they have guaranteed, immediate access. I also like the multi-editor mode they introduced a while back - it made Confluence more of a collaborative tool for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't expect it to provide all the features of a more database-like product like Notion. Confluence is page-based, and provides basic ways to organize content in hierarchies but nothing too complex.
Cheers for Confluence
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it integrates with Jira which makes it a central hub for a project
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it were a little more user friendly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're able to keep everyone updated and informed on projects by using Confluence
Best tool for collaboration and workflow management.
What do you like best about the product?
This is the best tool for collaboration and workflow management. I am using it for last 5-6 years.
These are the feature I like most.
1. Maintaining project/product documentation version-wise and ease to access.
2. Multiple in-built design templates, handy for maintaining a pattern for all similar types of document say for example the same style can be used for all "Technical design" documentation.
3. Integration or connectivity with jira is fantastic to capture day-to-day scrum activity and retrospective details efficiently.
4.It can be used as an end-to-end project management tool, and transparency of any activity can be modulated by increasing its visibility.
5.For senior management it is a very useful tool to track progress of individual scrum team.
6. I like the page-tree of it as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much I dislike about this product, few of the things can be improved like below:
1. text editor, sometimes formatting a pasted code is very tedious.
2. copy-pasting Giffy diagram sometimes causes a data loss in the actual diagram.
3. Can have a message prompt saying "do you want to notify all watchers ?Yes or No". Sometimes we receive unnecessary email from some unwanted changes by someone.
4. Data loss if multiple people access and modifying the same page.

End-to-end project management light-weight tool best for fast paced agile team.
Benefits I already mentioned in the prior section.

Collaboration platform for teams
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence does not feature a complicated menu system or excessively complicated windows. When it comes to specific points, sections, designs, and other aspects of our documents, I like working with the team. My organization dramatically benefits from customizable templates for meeting agendas, business plans, press releases, and emails. An essential feature of Confluence is connecting it to other platforms, like Jira and Trello.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a difference between a co-op and individual work when it comes to the interface stability
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool allows you to easily create multiple files, which can help you keep a record of documents you have previously written, as well as allow you to access them from any location.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great if your team needs to collaborate more and document more.
Having more than 3 years of experience using Confluence
What do you like best about the product?
It allows user to maintain and keep upto date knowlege base related to project. It provides subscribe feature related to a page or directory, if any change occur the subscriber of that page or directory get notified using email or notification section provided within the confluence. Its allows us to control the user permission and support a number of plug-ins. It gives us lot of template while creating pages that is very usefull.
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating pages require good knowledge of HTML; it can be more straightforward. The size of the knowledge base (working space) gets larger, it being slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have built our knowledge base using Confluence. We are keeping all stuff related to Knowledge Transfer (KT). Any document/audio/video that is helpful within the team we are keeping there any sharing with respective person.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I believe confluence is very useful to organize, maintain and update our documents related to the project. When projects get older, it is mandatory to keep the records/documents at a central location and make them accessible to the respective person.
Confluence Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity of use - wisiwyg!!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a limited number of formatting options for the sections on the page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
problem is dynamic sharing of content used by many and keeping it current
good solution to keep documentation together in a corporate environment
What do you like best about the product?
its resemblance to a wiki page, how easy it is to create a new page and start creating content that then it would be available to the whole community in your corporate environment
What do you dislike about the product?
the markup options could be better, and sometimes it feels like they are far too basic and lacking standard options compared to other similar tools in the market
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it is a great place to gather corporate information, document processes, internal notes, presentations, and more, while it is easy to share and collaborate with the community
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is an excellent environment to create content and share with the internal organization at your company, and it is flexible enough. It comes with enough features to make a decent range and allows you to organize and structure all the materials properly.
It is super easy to upload content, files, or almost anything. The editing process is easy enough, and the different options available friendly enough for fewer experienced users; for the ones with more years on the clock, some of the options could do with an upgrade to achieve more professional versions of the pages created.
It is a tool you want to try out and compare against other alternatives, and it will most likely cover your needs
