Confluence is a very useful application to maintain documents with versions
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. Versatility. Faster access of documents
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really here. Sometimes the export or upload features don't allow to browse files directly instead have to drag drop files
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large files storage benefits and maintaining versions of documents is done automatically so business can always review latest version
Easy to setup and use team collaboration software.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use from setup all the way to daily maintenance of pages is very straight forward, easy to see version history on pages for accountability. Watch pages and alerts are straightforward and easy to use. Setting up automated checklist for new pages is easy and improves accountability between team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, a media wiki book is very helpful unless your a power user of previous wikki software. Depending on size of your org keeping up with unified styling and page hierarchy can be a little overwhelming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The passing of tribal knownage down though the company. Easy to search pages help new employees to search for obscure problems and categorize one off solutions as found. Team collaboration and task checklists is very useful and the other primary function of the software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Some minor knowledge in markup language is very helpful. In general if you can edit a wikipedia article then you can manage Confluence. its best to set up clear style guides and branding when first setting it up rather than trying to clean up pages after the fact.

Confused Confluence user

Easy to Use Wiki that Tries but does not Succeed at Much Else
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence has powerful features for creating and managing our company's internal wiki and intranet. Wiki formatting is advanced and easy to use, and it has beyond the features we require or use on a daily basis. The user community of Confluence means that if I'm ever looking to find out how to do something, the answer is a quick search away.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the task management features that exist in Confluence seem straightforward to implement, but task tracking, user mentions, and commenting are not successful in doing much more than causing users to have more emails in an already crowded inbox.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence provides our company with an internal knowledgeable where were do some small project management, but also is the repository for all of our policies, procedures, and methodologies.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Confluence is a very easy to use wiki and it's formatting tools create great content. Comparatively to a product like mediawiki, Confluence makes a much more modern set of wiki pages.
Great for Meeting Notes and Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to assign actions items to users within the page and visualize project status.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not the most user friendly. Some of the text options are not as intuitive as other softwares.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use confluence to document meeting notes, and also to plan out projects with target completion dates. The page can be shared with other users so everyone stays updated on the status of the project. Action items can be assigned and checked off as they are completed. Great for collaboration.
Intuitive System for Finding New Resources in a large company.

It is an excellent system for finding answers within a large company where you are physically isolated from other departments.

Clunky navigation and UI can sometimes get in the way.

N/A
Good when you know how to use it

I like its versatility and intuitive design. There's a lot you can do -- from building pages and managing calendars to reviewing creative work and organizing workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although generally intuitive, I think you really have to get a feel for how to use it in order to really understand it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our organization is currently using Confluence to review most of the creative that goes into marketing production and campaign development. We're realizing it's nice to have a place where we can all see the latest updates on projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't rely on it as a way to solve problems within your organization; it can be easy to leave comments and assume your team members will see them, but sometimes they get lost in the clutter. Also, make sure all your team members know how to use it!
Great layout and keeps everything organized
What do you like best about the product?
I like how the breakdown of each tab keeps the site looking clean and organized. The customer service is quick and very responsive if there are any issues that pop up.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the settings aren't on the sidebar, rather it to be on top. The mobile layout can be a bit funky when going through the site
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of the documents for the company are all on one platform where everyone has access. Everyone can collaborate as well as bookmark and privatize the tabs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As long as you keep everything organized, confluence is a great tool to keep documents organized and in one central location for everyone to view, edit, comment or like.
Confluence opinion
What do you like best about the product?
It’s a great tool in conjunction with Jira for creating and managing documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
For some reason, when I log into other components like JIRA or BitBucket, I get logged out of confluence and have to log in using a different browser.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it to create and track software technical requirements and the those are tied to projects in Jira for complete project traceability.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you understand how all the parts work together. Our implementation is very rapid and we didn't fully understand how everything works and now we have to use different browsers when using components together.
