Great Wiki tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use for wiki and share it across the organization. Easy integration with other atlassian tool sets like Jira. Mentions and notifications works great. Compared to other wiki tools, this stands aside for sure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Permissions can be challenging. It is easy to miss that the document you share is not protected. Notification mechanisms for an open page would be ideal,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Engineering documentation are easy to make and share. Several templates are available which can ease up the process. Using this product can be effective for improvng productivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is simple easy to use product. If you need complicated needs, this might not be the right one.
Easy to Use System for any Company Documentation
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Confluence can be accessed by any member of the team, it is a collaborative document that allows anyone to take part in the creation of any type of documentation. I have used this ranging from Product Requirement Documents, Roadmaps, Sounding Boards, Presentation Tools, to even more. It can be whatever you need it to be
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that is frustrating is the way you organize and file documents together. I wish there was a folder feature (there essentially is) but it is not super easy to have that learning curve without really diving into it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily the problem I am trying to solve is communicating Requirements or Experiments that the product team has run to other Stakeholders. It is super easy to do so with Confluence since you are able to tag and mention others within the document itself
One of the best user friendly document solution
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence comes with a Datacenter and cloud version. The best feature is it is customizable as per the user requirement. Using Macros, we can design the documentation as we like. We can keep the data either in a local data center or in the cloud. No one gave me the training to use confluence, and now I am confluence admin, that's the hight of user friendly product
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigation. Similar to other Atlassian products, users have complained that aspects of Confluence are difficult to learn right away
An issue that users can face when using Confluence is attempting to edit a document while someone else is editing. Although users can access the document and save it, they cannot see the changes happening in real time that other users are implementing until they refresh their page. Some users have also noted that this can result in loss of edits.
Another drawback of using Confluence is its specific organizational structure. All information is stored within one page or project; although the page can be broken up into sections, some users do not prefer this style. Users can use the ‘page tree’ on each page to organize the different elements of each project.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence is a collaboration wiki tool used to help our teams to collaborate and share knowledge efficiently. With confluence, we can capture project requirements, assign tasks to specific users, and manage several calendars at once with the help of the team. There is a great deal of content in most corporate wikis. Understanding which pages you need to complete a process or solve a problem is not always apparent. It often takes several searches and parsing through the results to find what you think is the right content. We have always had issues for centrally managing all wikis and team info along with all required data and collaboration with other automation tools along with we can get the maximum output and confluence having all the required parameters and smooth working while best speed and easy to use approach

Great for storing info
What do you like best about the product?
To say that Confluence is essential to our workflow is an understatement. We use Confluence to store all of our department's information so that we can easily refer back to them. I don't think we could function without the use of Confluence.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I had to choose something I dislike about Confluence is how it updated the way you edit pages. Since I've been using this for years, I got used to the older way to edit pages. The old editing ways just seemed to make more sense, but maybe it's just my personal preference.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence helps streamline our workflow because we can easily refer back to important information that's essential to our work. Everything we have questions about or need to look up, it's in our Confluence pages!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're on the fence, go for it! It's so useful in a workplace.
Working with Confluence has made my team more efficient

The layout and the organization of Confluence makes it easy to keep track of everything I'm working on with my team and makes it easy to look back on when I need to report on my work.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first it was a little confusing because I wasn't sure what kind of layouts I needed to use and how to nest them. There's just a bit of a learning curve but it's fine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for laying out tests that I'm running on our website. It's great to keep track of everything from the dates that the test ran, to the proposed outcomes, the details, and the priorities. It makes it easy to then send to my teammates.

Pages where architecture designs are added using gliffy diagrams take lot of time to load and also difficult to version out.

Great for collaboration & documentation
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is a great wiki to use to organize documents, notes, and collaborate and co-author documents with other colleagues. Useful search funcionality and integrates with other Atlassian products too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the editing can be a little clunky when two people are editing the same page at the same time sometimes. A little bit of a peeve. Would like a more integrated way to import files from google docs, etc.Some of the editing can be a little clunky when two people are editing the same page at the same time sometimes. A little bit of a peeve. Would like a more integrated way to import files from google docs, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the things that was a problem for us before was that our documentation was all over the place—Google Docs, emails, attachments, etc.—all over the map. It was hard to know where to find a specific document sometimes. Now, thanks to Confluence, we have migrated all of our notes, docs, and documentation into a single centralized system, so now we no longer have to question where something was stored, and we can just search for it in a single place. This has saved my team and I countless amounts of time.
Plus, the integration with JIRA is super handy too.

Best collaboration tool for remote work
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is awesome for collaboration cross functionally with all teams. We are all able to have one source of truth that everyone in the company has access too.
What do you dislike about the product?
The page can be a bit confusing to use. Sometimes you can pop in there and it thinks you want to create a new doc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborating real time with colleagues and it shows all edits made to documents posted so we never have to provide manual updates.
