Confluence is a great application for creating and sharing documents across the enterprise and among different co-workers in any dept.

Sometimes it may be quite hard to find what you are looking for. Often old docs get hidden in folders that are no longer active. This can be quite frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Confluence works well if you need to create and share documents across the company and among different people and departments. You can use it to share and store almost anything from excel to word, no matter what the use - schedules, articles, specs, project sites, pretty much anything that needs to be tracked / shared. It also alerts you when stuff you are tracking is modified.

knowledge sharing
Good Resource Hub

The interface has a slight learning curve as with anything. The naming conventions can be a little odd but after you've used it for a while you start to understand where and what things are called.

We use Confluence for How-To documents, client reporting and contracts and updates on project timelines so that all these can be referenced by anyone within the company at any given time.
