It turns your knowledge base into a wiki. Most businesses would not want that.
What do you like best about the product?
We can take content from Jira directly into Confluence, so we can distill support tickets into Howto articles. It also observes URL changes and manifests them throughout.
What do you dislike about the product?
• It's a wiki, so you have no direct control over the content you generate.
• Its exports of your docs never look even close to the web page.
• Templates for pages are static. Did you mess up but notice after generating 100 pages? Too bad -- you'll have to change each page manually.
• Version control and labeling are not native -- you have to add Scroll Versions from k15t.
• If you generate a
• It expects you to edit files only inside the white background of a web page. If you're a tech writer or a coder, you understand this pain right away.
• You can never tell from the easy editing mode why something won't delete or loses formatting.
• Search optimization is only based on adding search tags. In theory it can do a smart search, but how?
• You cannot write in Markdown (which is, in theory, the native markup language) unless you copy all of an existing page elsewhere, edit, then paste all.
• I feel like I've said enough bad things. I must stop, lest I incur the advance of the Heat Death of the Universe.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to publish our product documentation online and update with new releases. It does this...just barely.
Our benefits:
• We have a tolerable solution that allows a vague amount of searchability.
• We guarantee that at least one IT employee will always lose hair.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Run. Run far away. Hie thee to Wordpress. Even an ancient Drupal setup will give you a better deal. It's like a write-only wiki.

It makes it easier for teams across the company to work together. It is also a great product when it comes to integration especially JIRA. Being able to create an internal KB is amazing,

Team Collaboration and Knowledgebase

Confluence is awesome.
What do you like best about the product?
I think it's probably the best for documentation and taking notes. It's also got great markdown similar to Reddit if you want things to appear in certain formats. It's also easy to search and find pages.

I've found it's really difficult to export the documentation to any other format than the default.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping other people informed of changes. Centralizing meeting notes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Atlassian has a lot of great products. If you've used some of the others you'll have a generally good idea of what to expect.
Streamlines group collaboration

The interface was wonderful to navigate. It made the challenges of group work minimal to none.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is a little high. If more features were included, it would be justified.

Healthcare policy making
Team Collaboration Software

The user interface is the best thing about it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Confluence pricing is bit complicated. It can be a bit simpler.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easily publish, organize, and access company information in one central location so I can help my customers help themselves.
What doesn't it do?
What do you like best about the product?
What I really like is how versatile it is as well as the features in which it handles notifications and keeping tasks on track. I used this with a customer and I was amazed at how easy it was to find things, even though they had so much content created. I also just started using this at my employer and I love how you can tag someone in a post or a meeting not and it creates a task for that person that shows up in their 'work' list.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike so far, is really something that is a plus, and that is that it seems complex and confusing at first, but once you get it...those things become valuable and obvious.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration on projects, documentation of processes and common tasks, meeting notes, maintaining an accurate and up to date library of all the above mentioned.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a good spin around the block before passing judgment.
Good collaboration platform
What do you like best about the product?
It gives easy user interface for collaborations and it does not take up a lot of space in your computer.
What do you dislike about the product?
The features can be improved to allow data sharing and distribution during the collaboration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast collaboration.
Not as good as sharepoint
What do you like best about the product?
Customizable and offers more options than similar products
What do you dislike about the product?
Not as easy to use as SharePoint. Often slow and copying / pasting text does not copy formatting correctly.
