Great way to collaborate and "get work done!"
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of getting information on a page that everyone can contribute to and see is amazing. I've used Confluence for about 5 years and love it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, when Atlassian pushes a new update, legacy versions are left behind on fixes. Maybe Atlassian could offer more hotfixes/patches instead of forcing a version bump?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With distributed teams, a wiki system like Confluence is a must. It helps to write how-to and document systems so that people, even seasoned members of the team, have a reference point.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a look at core offerings, and also available plugins. Often, if the core product doesn't have exactly what you want, a plugin will. However, be wary of plugins that are not maintained; as they may marry you to a specific version of Confluence. In those cases, if you upgrade and the plugin has not been modified to work with the new version of Confluence, the plugin will break.
Confluence review
What do you like best about the product?
Sharing the task with multiple members in the team at same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I believe the front end is overloaded with lot of content. This leads to extra time to load things on screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building front end templates for insurance clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The software satisfy the basic functionality what it claims to offer. However as earlier suggested working for making the front end light weight would be of much help.
Solid product for workplace Wiki
What do you like best about the product?
Good, solid editing tools and integration with Agile Jira for scrum and kanban make this product a winner.
What do you dislike about the product?
The spaces are pretty handy but I find that if you're not very proactive about making sure you add in links, it becomes unused as people revert back to throwing a bunch of documents on a page without really taking the time to structure and sort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workplace wiki, task tracking and problem resolution when used in conjunction with Agile Jira.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Works well if you're also using other atlassian products, like JIRA. This product really seems designed for a large organization, as I currently work in one, this seems like the target market. For small business, I think that this is a bit too heavy and requires a bit too much management for a feature set that most users will never make full use of.
Great tool for sharing and maintaining documentation and processes
What do you like best about the product?
The add-ins for things like flow charts are really nice, as is the WYSIWYG formatter for content pages. The ability to sort content unlimited levels deep is also really helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's no way (that I've found) to bulk modify content pages (through find-replace, etc), nor is there an easy way to migrate between platforms. The jump in license pricing from 10 users to 11 users is also quite huge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence makes it easy to share and maintain documentation across a company. Using it helps reduce the amount of information that only one person is aware of.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be aware of the huge jump in licensing costs from 10 users to 11.
I used this tool for sharing status of development tasks and it was doing good
What do you like best about the product?
I like the feature of Sharing the status of development tasks to multiple users and groups.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not find any issues while using this tool so far
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
was able to share the status of development tasks and it was doing good
Confluence Review
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to quickly create documentation based on different project templates that we have setup. As well as the ability to annotate the status of each project, with details about it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning curve is a bit steep to start out with, especially if the end user isn't familiar with documentation platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have many custom web application that we develop and we often need to have documentation for our endusers as well as our team.
Difficult for a new user to learn but love the customization
What do you like best about the product?
Customization abilities and issue linking
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not super intuitive - some names/icons are not what I'd expect
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping everyone informed of projects is helpful
Useful tool
What do you like best about the product?
Used as an internal wiki and knowledge base to share information typically lost somewhere in email or a word document. Makes it easy to organize and store information to share and recall in the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
Organization structure a little clunky. Can be challenging to find the information I am looking for at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal wiki site and knowledge base to share and organize information.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great, easy tool for documenting and organizing information and keeping a knowledge base. Helps keep things in one place so information is not lost.
Easy to use, intuitively designed, and many cross-functional uses
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence presents a canvas to allow users to design a layout or structure that works best for them. Whether you need tables, graphics, blocks of text, videos, or links to other applications, Confluence will bring all these options to the table.
What do you dislike about the product?
Version control can be difficult to use if more than one person is editing or submitting an edit to the page simultaneously.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work with many different functional groups that all need to have the same information. Confluence allows all uses one stop for status reports, planning actions, and even bug tracking with JIRA integration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Simple to set up and use. Any beginning user will easily understand the control options.
The standard tool for software documentation
What do you like best about the product?
Even though it's clunky and unintuitive at times, Confluence has the most features and is simply the best standard. Every company I've seen try something different eventually reaches a point where they need the level of complexity Confluence has to offer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like other Atlassian products, it can be slow and buggy at times, and sometimes UI changes will leave you wondering how to do something that you used to be able to do easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are documenting processes and systems for a mobile software/tech startup. The big benefit is not depending on one single person being the holder of all the knowledge about a given architecture, etc.
