Editing features improve document accessibility
There is a holiday calendar, however, I need to install an app or add something to it. The add-on feature is not readily available or well-documented. Guidance on this should be available in a forum. Recently, I used a feature in another tool—perhaps GitHub—where it helped prepare a chart. It involved listing resources, like having fifteen people in the X team, ten in the Y team, and seven in the Z team. It created a bar chart showing these numbers. This chart used AI to offer users the option to create it based on the data. It was then created on a separate page and made available.

A collaborative tool with a good noise cancellation feature
We use it to conduct meetings because it is private.  The microphone's noise cancellation and static feature that record a human's voice are some of the most valuable features. The application also provides notices to everyone at the same time. You can easily use it on your phone, so it's a very…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's easy to use and you can create all types of pages."
"It is easy to use."

"This is a scalable solution that supports thousands of users."
"The solution offers a lot of freedom when drafting directly online."
"The macros feature in Confluence is quite valuable."
"We use the solution for document sharing, video conferencing, instant messaging, and file sharing."
"The microphone's noise cancellation and static feature that record a human's voice are some of the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"Atlassian Confluence should improve the interface, it needs to be more user-friendly. It is easy to use, but it could be more intuitive."
"I have a couple of different pipelines that I work with. However, I'd like to see them displayed differently on the same dashboard. So, I would like to have a unified dashboard to view the different pipelines."
"I would like to see the text editor upgraded from its current limited abilities."
"The discoverability of documents could be improved."
"The dashboards should be improved."
"The user interface is a little bit stale. The file attachments and how they work could be improved. There is also room for improvement when it comes to CDNs."
"Confluence cannot replace Microsoft Word at the moment, so even though it can be used as a document management system, it is not meant for document creation, which adds a lot of limitations to it."
"There is room for improvement in maybe the tree structure for articles. If you have a lot of articles, it becomes difficult to navigate."
"There were some additional features coming up, as they informed us through email. But we didn't get any update on them."
"The audio calling service needs to improve its quality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"To my knowledge, Atlassian Confluence had a pricing approach which is a commercial open-source solution, so that if you are a company, you had to pay an amount. This fee was not huge compared to other traditional solutions, and it was free for personal use or if you were an individual."
"I am using the paid version. My company has purchased it for company employees. We are using Confluence as a company. I don't know how much it costs, but its price is good enough. Its price is not so high."
"In my opinion, it's worth the investment"
"For us, it's free to use. We don't pay any licensing."
"There is a license needed to use Atlassian Confluence."
"Confluence charges an extra fee for analytics."
"The Confluence pricing is good. The only challenge we have experienced is with Jira and the add ons we use that need to be paid for separately."
"We have a site license for Atlassian Confluence and there are some limitations on external users."
"The license grants you a subscription and costs about $120. I am not aware of additional costs."
