Great product
What do you like best about the product?
I like many features of Confluence. I love that it is user friendly, easy to modify. I like that you can watch pages and set up alerts. I like that you can mark favorite pages. I also like that you can link to other pages. Our company uses that feature a lot.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the "digest" when it comes to my email. For example, when a page changes I only like to receive those alerts once a week, however, when it comes in via digest form, it is very hard to understand what pages changed and what changed on them without going and looking yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use the pages to help with guidance around the company. It's beneficial because they are easy to search and easy to find. It is also very collaborative, so others can contribute as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I definitely would recommend if you need a sort of "wiki" type tool. With how easy it is to use and searchable, it's a great tool.
Excellent tool for documentation
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use! Web page like functionality without needing to know anything on layouts, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit more customization would be nice, but not a big deal
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documentation of processes - that's huge. Project summaries are also a big benefit.
Wiki warehouse for all our FAQs
What do you like best about the product?
We used Confluence to house a ton of how-to's and walkthroughs for processes. The search functionality greatly improved in my time using the solution. Adding keywords helped index the data and make the info usable for all parties.
What do you dislike about the product?
If articles/wikis weren't given appropriate keywords, the search functionality wasn't ideal. When searching for a particular how-to I had used in the past, I couldn't track it down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluence allowed the opening of information to entire teams and more of a self-service model for support internally. Rather than bugging developers or managers with questions on how to do a task, all the information was neatly stored and searchable.
Visibility of information
What do you like best about the product?
Managing documentation is easier. It has reduced steps for maintaining application development documentation like design documentation. Earlier I had to write a document, save it and than struggle to upload it, whereas now I just need to write and save it.
Another awesome feature is, as soon as you update your document a notification is send to all the relevant members of the team.
For developers it provides a coll feature called as Gliffy, which helps to design various architecture diagrams, so no need for expensive tools like Visio

What do you dislike about the product?
The "tree" or page hierarchy. it;s too hard to use. When creating pages, the assignment to the spot in the hierarchy seems arbitrary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease of finding information. We currently use box as a document storage solution, but things are hard to find. Confluence helps us organize and provide information as users expect to receive it. being able to add context around the document links is also important.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Having an overall admin owner and then specific content owners has helped us quickly create a framework of pages. Asking SMEs to contribute then becomes easier as a more "fill in the blank" exercise.
Great Wiki product

Easy to use, able to maneuver around the site with minimal knowledge of product.
What do you dislike about the product?
The layout could be a bit more streamlined.

Sometimes certain steps aren't intuitive and need to be looked up for guidance.

Project Management and document organization. It is a good platform to keep everything organized.

Clarity when people need to get things done
What do you like best about the product?
I have tried a multitude of project management software and although some came close none compared to using confluence with Jira.
I love how commenting works so well on document and how much it has increased team collaboration in the company.
The ability to work off of pre-determined templates was really helpful as it gave me and the team a framework to get started with.
The integration with Jira and especially when used with the SCRUM methodology is very useful.

What do you dislike about the product?
Let me start of by saying that Confluence is not the prettiest online tool or the easiest to use when you first start using however if you keep using it and learning all the functionality you end up with one magical piece of software to help you define and manage a project with a team.
Some features seem cumbersome and the UX can be complicated.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were trying to find a tool which would help our company have one central place where the teams could clarify requirements and project discussions. Confluence does this very well as-well as integrating into Jira where we track the progress of a project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend time watching videos about how to use it before you jump in.
