Confluence
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is simple to use. I can easily create, find and edit pages.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have never had any issues with Confluence.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps with policy sharing, as well as sharing "How To" pages.
A better version of Sharepoint
What do you like best about the product?
My first exposure to Confluence is at my current job. It provides a friendly intuitive interface similar to Sharepoint but with a much more simpler UI that fits today's typical standards. Easy to update which creates a nice presentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the features to link and show actually show Google Spreadsheet content is great, it would have been extremely handy to edit documents directly in Confluence rather than clicking a link to edit the document. This would have really streamlined the process for me and my group.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Confluence primarily as a resource for each team at my company. We're still in the early phases but this will be a great way to really understand what other teams are working on and obtain relevant resources without needing to ask individual members of that team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a easy to use interface to collaborate with other members, I'd at check out Confluence as it has the tools you need to start collaboration in an organization.
The Perfect Workplace Wikipedia
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is clean and easy to use. It takes very little time to become familiar with how it works so you can spend more time creating pages to share information with your team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the page organization function is a little obstinate and will refuse to change your pages location.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence allows us to keep an ever growing team up to date with all the changes and greatly helps with onboarding new employees.
Confluence
What do you like best about the product?
Integrates well with other Atlasssian products, also has good integrations with third party systems and applications
What do you dislike about the product?
Permissions and restrictions are a disaster, user management is a bit of a nightmare. System upgrades while easy to apply can sometimes break the system or other plugin support. Overall pretty clunky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Confluence to share info amongst teams. That is really the only big benefit we wee. I wish it had a better employee directory function with ties to ADP/PeopleSoft/Oracle , etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Find another solution.
Confluence for internal collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The confluence web app has a great interface for collaborating efficiently with the team members. I particularly like the tagging feature to notify team members to take action.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being a web app, it can sometimes feel slow and sluggish. WYSIWIG editors never feel native enough for me, but that's a personal preference.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking projects and conversations via email was hectic. Confluence puts all the assets for a project in one central location.
Pretty stable
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence tools have been easy to use, They provide a simple and fast search option which is really helpful to navigate between different jira tickets.
The jira tool helps easy grouping of tasks, creating master task and easy assignment of work to team, vertices, and individual

What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting needs to be more easy and should show more data points.

Assignment of work, visibility to the management on product deliverables.
My positive experience with confluence

It is very simple to use. The gui is very good.
What do you dislike about the product?
Often there is some issue when you are inserting a table in some page.

We handle our procedure putting the info in pages in confluence. Everybody can read/edit so them are always updated.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use and there are a lot of feature which allow you to create great pages.
Collaborative Document Repository
What do you like best about the product?
Confluence is a great place to store and collaborate with your coworkers on documentation. I find that it is a great way to organize documents by project. When working on a particular project all relevant documentation that is created is stored in a project hierarchy and I can collaborate with my coworkers on the documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the search functionality could use some improvement. It feels like the search sometimes weighs certain factors higher than simply the text I have inputted matching something in a document. I also find that many of the features are available with Google Drive at no cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When working with software documentation is a vital part of the process. Confluence not only stores the documents for you but also allows multiple people to collaborate on the documents and keep revisions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Like many other tools you will get out what you put in. Sometimes the documentation in Confluence can get unruly and stale which makes this tool useless. Also, some of the features are found in Google Drive.
Can be challenging for new users, but overall an effective communication tool.
What do you like best about the product?
Once you figure out how to use it, it's a great way for tracking meeting notes and next-step lists. If you've missed a meeting, it's incredibly helpful in catching up.
I also like the recommendations that Confluence gives -- I felt well-connected to other committees and groups whose work affected mine indirectly. It's nice to be aware of what other groups are working on.

What do you dislike about the product?
The steep learning curve was a bit intimidating! It took me a while to learn how to navigate it, and I wanted to give up a few times. But, once you get the hang of it, it's great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping meeting notes organized and continuing post-meeting conversations. It cuts down on unnecessary email a LOT, because we can pitch ideas back and forth without cluttering up inboxes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get as many tutorials as you can -- don't try to jump in by yourself all at once. I found it helpful to sit down with an experienced user and have them walk me through the features.
Amazing Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of assigning new tasks to other individuals
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no notification reminder to finish tasks. At times, tasks are left unfinished because of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting projects completed which involve several team members. With the more members involved in a project, the more likely there will be holes in communication. However, Confluences helps with keeping communication, comments, and tasks responsibilities strong.
