You have to be behind firewall, i.e. vpn in order to access.

Great tool

I really liked the ease of using it and how seamlessly it integrated into our workplace.
Confluence is a great CMS, but can quickly grow out of control
What do you like best about the product?
Great way to organize information. We use it for technical specs, product requirements, etc.Its very easy to locate information you once saw just by searching keywords.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its totally free-form user-driven organization capability can lead to a complete mess of information that is hard to wade through to find what you are looking for. That's not a knock so much on Confluence as it is on how users apply Confluence's great organizational flexibility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collection of information regarding product requirements, technical specs, etc. Great for archiving the history of a project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have a plan of how you want to organize your information before letting everyone loose to create content.
Decent way to share information
What do you like best about the product?
It allowed the team to share all the relevant information we needed between each other. We were able to update as needed and became vital to everyone being on the same page for a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is definitely a nice tool to be able to have access to. Many employees at the company I was at were itching to get a wiki like program, but still really depends on the skills of the users using it to answer how great it can actually be, need to look at the skill set of the employees.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows everyone to use the information like a wiki to share and assist with people updating to have most recent information available.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely give it a try and go from there, you will most likely love it for what its for.

Confluence is a must-have addition to the Atlassian suite. It's excellent for companies/teams looking to improve collaboration, store project documentation, and manage deadlines.

I haven't found any features that are troubling/of concern as of yet. I have used the product for over 2 years now.

Good for internal, bad for external

Easy to use, collaboration friendly, integration with JIRA ticketing system for our troubleshooting processes
What do you dislike about the product?
Not appropriate for our needs as a customer-facing platform. Limited 3rd-party integration.

Trying to make a customer-facing support wiki. Works sufficiently well.
Confluence is a one stop shop for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of use associated with Confluence. All members of our team could quickly acclimate to using it to share company-wide information.
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit simple in terms of design, we find it difficult to customize many of the features. I'm certain there's a way, we just haven't been able to dive that deep yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using confluence to create a repository of company-wide reference information.

It's a great product - pricey, but worthwhile especially if you already use JIRA
A Wiki Tool, good to work with Java stock of products

Confluence provides end to end capabilities of a wiki solution.

It's another product implementation, I love following a single stack of products, feature wise it delivers what it's meant for but if we look boardly, I would like a complete enterprise solution like sharepoint to provide all capabilities

Article writing
File sharing

Easy access to all data
What do you like best about the product?
The categorization for each person, the privacy for some users, and also how you can add video/audio for others who missed the meeting. Also, I like how easy it is to format any page on it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it lacks customization. Also the search mechanism is basic and sometimes not very relevant.
Multi-user can not edit the document at the same time as opposed to google docs. Sometimes we want multiple people to write their own piece of data on the page and they might be completely different than what the other is writing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The design and functional spec for our features are all on confluence. I think its really beneficial when you have teams on the other side of the world. Emails do their job, but they get lost very soon or you lose space and have to keep deleting some emails. So on that note, the confluence keeps it all in one place and its more efficient for our productivity
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is very useful for anyone working in teams.
Confluence is Awesome
What do you like best about the product?
I love that confluence is easy for my teams to update, fast, stores a ton of data and has a really functional interface! And that it looks pretty darn good mobile. My team can open it up on their phone and have access to our databases at anytime.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that things can get cluttered if folks aren't paying attention to what others are doing--but generally everything about confluence is great. I think we just need to beef up our admin privileges
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Training materials sources, sales links, team updates, archiving information need a home. They are home in confluence! We have found it keeps us focused and all of our team's needs in one convenient spot.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're thinking about confluence compared to other sites--I'd strongly encourage you to pick confluence. If your team is not super tech savvy they can use it--and your advanced users can do some pretty neat stuff with it. It's an easy database that can be updated within just seconds to reflect whatever it is that you're working on. The site is secure, you can pull it up on mobile devices too which is great for my team. I highly recommend checking it out!
