Confluence reviews

I am quite glad this tool exists, It has an easy to navigate and even easier way to create new type of documents. I've been able to add smart links to give an in-window layout of the different file types for this.

The admin to Org roles are confusing if you're new to this.

Simple online web interface to get started

Not very well known software leads to questions from users

- Organization of files is super helpful to keep things easily discoverable
- Customizations on pages
- Integrations with other platforms and services

Sometimes permissions. I find often times I forget to change them before sending to a coworker and they’ll need to request access.

Great for documentation and organises knowledge effectively.

Slow performance. It can lag with large pages.

great platform and evrey one with no prior experience can use it.

it shoukd contain some features like Camban board in Jira

You can organize properly the documentation and decide whether or not make it public

The search tool sometimes is off and does not work properly

It is so easy to learn and to use. The UI looks so great

I had issues collaborating it with other tools

Everything is in one place. Too many Google Docs floating around in space

Learning curve, but the payoff is worth it

Confluence is our go-to content management and knowledge based tool. The ability to create spaces by team or departments is really useful and my favorite feature is the ability to give permission by page instead of just by space. We have a main team focused on maintaining our knowledge base, but it's helpful that we can also assign unique individuals who are subject matter experts to also help that team update the content.

At times it feels like Confluence may be a bit too robust. It's a great content management system, but can sometimes over complicate a search for a particular page. It can take some time to locate the page you are looking because so many results pop up. You have to weed through the results to find the one you're seeking.

Perfect for documentation, with various supporting features around that.

Probably cost, pay per user, it is perhaps not good for start-ups.

It looks good, has great integration options with other tools, and it's really easy to collaborate with other people.

The navigation can be a little confusing, I'm not always able to easily find the pages I'm looking for.

Confluence is a very robust and powerful tool that makes knowledge sharing and documentation easy

Once you use any external ad-ons, the pricing increases

The ability to navigate, create and modify documents and contents in Confluence.

Improperly configured add-ons sometimes can cause slow page loading. An option of what caused the delay in the loading of a confluence page and how much time it took, could be a good indication to resolve issues.

The collaborative document edition feature is really awesome! Intuitive, secure, fluid,... It's exactly what you can expect from such a feature. In particular, the merge function is really well done: only in rate cases the tool will ask you to decide which version to keep. In all other cases the tool make it transparently without mistake. Brilliant!

There is a native connection with Jira, from the same company (Atlassian) but I find it very limited. I would expect more enhanced reporting or chart features, beyond the current limited options. Jira is powerful but very few of its data are available in Confluence.
Also, one particular thing annoys me: there are very few options to change the text format. For example it's not possible to change the size of the text in "body".

It has well implemented page tree which makes it easy to find required content documentation.It makes it easy to create and manage documentation for knowledge base collaboration.It has good import/export capabilities and also browser extension works really well.

Two issues I've encountered with Confluence are the limitations on customization,which prevents me from making any adjustments and the restricted offline access.

I like that Confluence offers a central repository for creation of unlimited communication channels which makes it to collaborate on projects.

There’s nothing that I come across as a flaw on Confluence.

Confluence excels in collaboration and knowledge management among teams in the organization. It acts as a document center where answers to most respective questions or issues are answered by peers saving tons of time.

Documentation of a specific process allows new joiners to quickly understand the by just looking into the documentation instead of assigning a resource to help them understand the whole process. It is a great platform for productivity.

Editing the documents can be made just like Microsoft Word and duplicating all its features could be great because almost all use Word to edit documents.

What I like the most about confluence is user friendly. You can create a page that your colleague can access. Update anytime you want then publish automatically.

You have an account provided by your IT of your employer

It connects me to information that I need so that work gets done fast and well. It is easy to track projects with Confluence.

There is nothing to dislike with Confluence.
