Confluence isnt bad
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence makes it easy to keep company info and data in one place. We can collaborate easily and quickly on projects and anything company related.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be confusing to navigate, this may be more of an issue with my organizations layout however.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can have one place to collaborate as a team. The project board is constantly being updated and edited which allows all of us to know what is happening.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
learn if it will satisfy your business needs before purchase. Seems to be robust with features
Not my favorite tool, I avoid using when possible
What do you like best about the product?
I get notified in my email inbox when a teammate asks something from me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ugly/confusing interface, too structured and systematized. Seems to encourage needless delegation and procrastination. A lot of the time I avoid logging on. I sit between a variety of teams and it's annoying to have to navigate to separate space where it could be centralized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be prepared for a large/bulky commitment. Look into easier and more lightweight tools like Trello.
A+ Collaboration and Knowledge Management
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite feature of Confluence is the ability to intermingle wiki content, collaboration, and Jira issues to create informative and dynamic content. This creates new and exciting ways to deliver information.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I had to pick one thing I would wish that refined wiki UI plugin was included as standard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One point of reference for company knowledge and project collaboration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get the refined wiki UI plugin, it's well worth it for better look and feel plus great navigation.
Confluence isn't for everyone
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is a great tool if you have dedicated admins and proper training. I am not a Project manager and would only recommend this tool for PMs or PM related work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its not as easy to use as it should be and is targeted at a very niche market.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is solving project management problems, but only for some of us - others dislike it a lot.
Great collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is one of the best tools for corporations to foster collaboration on internal documents. It allows our teams to jointly work on and present shared information, which is essential for sharing knowledge in a geographically distributed team.
Some of its killer features include:
- allowing multiple edits
- tracking of changes
- easy presentation and search capabilities

What do you dislike about the product?
It's document editing capabilities are not on par with MS Word or Google Docs, and information in spreadsheets are even more limited. But it does allow previews of MS docs in its pages, which is adequate for now.
For longer term use, there are also "older" documents that grow dated, but I suspect that's also an issue with other systems.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Confluence to create joint repositories for information on subject areas - between Engineering, Technical Marketing, Sales Engineering, QA and Documentation - these internal knowledge repositories are invaluable for sharing information.
Not my favorite tool
What do you like best about the product?
The pages are pretty customizable and it's easy to create collaborative documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is difficult to find what you want without a direct link. The menus are rarely helpful, and the search feature is unreliable in helping me find what im looking for. I am also inundated with update emails when someone modifies a page I'm watching.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We began using this tool to increase collaboration between teams. I just wish it was a little more user friendly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would wait on this one. Maybe once it's a bit more developed and user-friendly.
Confluence has influence
What do you like best about the product?
Visibility and accessibility. Ease to add code blocks ,request / response as well as URL
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes difficult to sort the page. I need to sort by my name and since I am beginner makes it little difficult to use at once.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The transparency of adding documents and see others documents on Confluence . Help to reduce email as we can see other developers documents too.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its easy to use ans very flexible with the format like I have added java blocks to my page.
Great Wiki. Simple an easy to setup and use
What do you like best about the product?
It is a very simple tool. It is quick to setup and very easy to use. It is great for writing documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
We could use a bit better navigation options but otherwise not much
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to publish our documentation. Since its simple, most of our team members can easily use it.
We upload screenshots, videos on most pages.

Not a Mainstream Collaborative product yet...
What do you like best about the product?
Easy integration with other tools such as Ticketing systems
What do you dislike about the product?
Not quite an enterprise tool, at least from the perception perspective, since I was a SharePoint user earlier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Central repository for files, & collaboration
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make it better than SharePoint with web parts etc.
It's good but has a lot of potential to improve
What do you like best about the product?
Few things I like about Confluence are,
- Document version history
- Variety of document templates to get started
- Clean integration with JIRA
- Excellent page editing and formatting options
are some of the things.

What do you dislike about the product?
One of the most annoying thing about Confluence is navigation horror, you will always feel lost and the document organization is not well done. Another issue is the speed, it doesn't feel smooth.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to have a system where non-technical users can write clear documentation on problems and include relevant JIRA issue links and for maintaining product specifications, sprints etc. Technical users can document engineering processes, technical writeups etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a JIRA user, go for it. It makes it a breeze to link issues and have better context.
