Jira is fine
What do you like best about the product?
Custom role rights are helpful, and the custom dashboards are amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Interface feels old, widget variety is limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Work queue management
Confluence keeps me and my team organized for PCI
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to use the various widgets to automatically organize meeting notes and tickets so that I can direct upper management to a single page that summarizes the bottom line.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's difficult to know which kind of widget I should be using and need to use trial and error of previewing the page before I have what I need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not to repeat myself, but I love being able to use the various widgets to automatically organize meeting notes and tickets so that I can direct upper management to a single page that summarizes the bottom line. A big concern for our organization is PCI compliance and being able to easily organize all the information we need for our annual assessment with PCI auditors is a tremendous win.
Good product just a few recommendations
What do you like best about the product?
Easy tracking of tickets and assignments and add collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the add on items could be improved
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sprint tracking and bug organization
Wikipedia for enterprises
What do you like best about the product?
The seamless integration on JIRA statuses right into the pages. Also the ability to link to other pages make drilling into the details easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The licensing model where it doubles each time. For example it jumps from 100 users to 250 users. The cost doubles as well. All add-ons will have to double as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to solve the problem of storing our internal technical knowledge.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really useful if you use other Atlassian products as there is good synergies/integrations between the different products.
We use Confluence for managing meeting notes, product requirements, customer documentation, and more
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence makes it extremely easy to collect meeting notes and follow up tasks that come out of meetings, allowing capturing of the little things that generally get lost post-meetings. The templates make product requirements easy to create and catalog using the backend tagging system.
My favorite feature is the JIRA macro which allows for embedding JIRA reports in Confluence. This allows for displaying release reports of completed issues, time spent, and more. These are perfect deliverables to clients or stakeholders.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would prefer a markdown editor or a way to edit outside of their provided WYSIWYG editor.
There is also no simple way to expose a single workspace to anonymous / invited guests. In order to accomplish this, you must make your entire Confluence instance public and then specifically restrict access to spaces.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Confluence to capture daily scrum meetings and summary of work that can then be reviewed by managers or team members on vacation. With product requirements in Confluence, they can be easily linked and referenced to relevant JIRA tickets. This keeps everything on one platform and reduces the "where was that located?" syndrome.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Confluence now provides collaborative and live editing, like Google Docs. While most are familiar with and fine with Google Docs, using Confluence along with your other Atlassian products (JIRA, HipChat) streamlines work and cuts clutter.
Confluence is great for creating how-to's and keeping track with the team.
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to create weekly happenings that check in on projects and tasks the team is doing. It is easy to keep project documents together as well as project plans. I like that you can link to Jira core easily to keep track of projects. The layouts and templates available for different documents are nice to create.
The activity feed is useful to see if there are changes or who's been working on anything. I like the notifications in less busy times (in heavy use they can get bothersome) but you can change how often you are notified about different activities).

What do you dislike about the product?
Can be a bit of a learning curve to use at first (especially if don't know things work). Not as user friendly as some other programs. With training however, it is pretty easy to use. Sometimes the layouts to create documents don't do as much as you would like but with some tweeking you can get done what you would like.
The notifications can be bothersome sometimes and it feels like you are bombarded by them at times (especially in busy times).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to keep how-to's, project plans and other reference documents connected to projects just in case a team member needs to pick up a project or contribute. Helps the team stay in the loop. We also use it publish weekly happenings which goes over weekly team member projects and programs.
Confluence - Lots of Features, but only a few are necessary
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is an effective way to gather best practices documentation in one easy location, and the wiki format is familiar and user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
it's often difficult to tell when a particular document was last updated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need a central repository for workflow procedures and documentation.

1. Design organization
2. Process organization
3. Linking dev stories to design discussions on confluence

Documentation solution for the company
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to create and view documents with many formatting and styling options, support for uploading files and a good integration with JIRA.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it quite messy and it is quite difficult to find specific documents. It has a built-in search but it doesn't work very well (or its usage is very confusing).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With this tool all the company has a common place to store all the documentation for all the projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check very well if it meets your requirements because it can be confusing. It is very recommendable to have an expert in the tool in the company if you are planning to use it.
Pretty good for a Wiki
What do you like best about the product?
The documentation editing tools are very powerful and easy to use. They also make it fairly easy to add items like tables and timelines. Integration with JIRA is also good, as should be expected as it's another Atlassian tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Importing documentation from other Wiki platforms like TWiki is painful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our documentation looks better, and is now better organized. It also makes it much easier to link project plans to JIRA tasks and defects.
