What do you dislike about the product?
- adding huge tables to the pages is not very user friendly
-there is no option of bulk delete of pages and sub pages al together. it takes lot of time of delete a page with so multiple sub pages and if a page is deleted first, all the child pages shift to above parent page but there is no visible mechanism to identify how many child pages shift up

Excellent easy to use wiki with significant customization functionality
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use editor. WYSIWYG, but still have the ability to get deep under the covers with customization
What do you dislike about the product?
Security is lacking. Every time we do an update, SSL breaks... security functionality or at a minimum the ability to encrypt traffic should be table stakes for any web based app
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using this platform we have an easy to use mechanism to quickly create and share knowledge.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A lot of the power of atlassian products come from their integrations. I’d look at how you want to integrate confluence, as one of the determining factors in your evaluation.
Great tool for product ownership documentation
What do you like best about the product?
The UI was easy to pick up on how to use and their templates for each document were very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
formatting a blank page is a real pain in the butt. Also, the navigation to pages can get really messy if people aren't careful where they create and move things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a document management system for Product Ownership
Great documentation and collaboration platform!
What do you like best about the product?
Atlassian Confluence is an industry leading platform used for documentation and collaboration. It's a wiki that can be used to document procedures and policies used across an organization.
It is very straight forward to use, it has several integrations, and is widely used.
Previously we were running Confluence on premise, however we switched to Confluence Cloud as part of the large Atlassian offering of Cloud services such as JIRA, Bitbucket, etc. This has allowed us to simply use the product and not worry about maintaining it with updates, etc.

I can get work done with my team faster
What do you like best about the product?
I think the Confluence system is easy to use. The software design is simple and intuitive for all types of people. When we want to bring lots of people in to collaborate on something, it's really important that everyone can use it easily. I think that the real-time nature of getting updates and being able to communicate helps us all to be on the same page every step of the way.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there are certain aspects of designing our initial project page that can be hard to do. Getting projects off the ground isn't as straightforward as a typical chatting solution since we need to create a format that works well for given projects moving forward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
People that I work with are able to join in on discussions on their own time so that we can get projects moving forward at a pace that suits everyone's schedule. You don't have to schedule an appointment where we actually have to be there and respond to comments. We can take time to think about comments before saying anything.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Confluence is good to use if you want to create a more custom collaboration interface.
Easy to use collaboration software
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about confluence is its dynamic ability to create multiple pages with ability to insert tables, create task on team members, apply filters on tabels etc. Ability to create documents and download in word is big plus point. Users can even create flow charts just like MS Visio. It is a complete package to manage team and also create documents thus reducing dependence on ms word and ms visio.
What do you dislike about the product?
One particular thing to point out is when a page has too much data conference starts hanging. Sometimes unble to save data. Also it doesn't offer a lot of formatting features as available in MS word. When we try to copy paste data from word to confluence we face issue with numbering. Numbering doesn't get copied correctly. There are some bugs like when we create a filtered page it shows data for only first 40 records. Overall if confluence to handle more data just like ms word on a page i will give it a 9.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before confluence we were unable to keep track of our pending tasks and we were making documents in ms word and flow chart in ms visio and then copy paste flow chart in ms word. Now we do all these centrally in confluence and we everyday review team tasks.
Team Tool for everyone
What do you like best about the product?
simple yet very feature reach environment for teams (small or enterprise size)
What do you dislike about the product?
you choose to go BIG > make sure you can afford it...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We managed to consolidate all notes in one place and have them to hand when required for all our development needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very good and cheap for a small starter team with room to grow.
Very nice tool for team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence provides a workspace for the team to collaborate and share information.
You can create workspaces and then add pages and document any information like study material, project information, meeting notes, personal notes etc.
For projects, the overview and go-by study material can be kept and thus, can be seen by anyone in the team whenever required.
You can create nested pages i.e. page trees to store information in a hierarchical way.
You can like or comment on any stuff or page.
Analytics are generated for each page to see how many people viewed the page and how many times etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike about confluence except there could be functionality to add To-do lists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Out team is using confluence for sharing critical information about the project so that all team members can be up-to-date and any new members can get first hand information about the project at a secure place.
Confluence allows all type of content on a page, be it text or images or charts, tables etc. This makes pages very interactive and easy to go through.
