Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Easy to share information and the integration with JIRA is good."
"You should do it, as it is so simple and can give so much added value rapidly."
"At the moment, Atlassian Confluence is the best team product you can buy."
"I use Atlassian Confluence for task management and other project management tasks, such as reporting, visualization of tasks, tracking the progress of tickets, and understanding how work is progressing."
"We value the way we can tag documentation to Jira because we can cross-reference a Jira ticket to a Confluence page, and we can also add a Confluence page to a Jira ticket."
"The solution is very intuitive and provides excellent content management."
"Formerly used Sharepoint – we like that Confluence has higher usability for the user so we can democratize content creation."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"We use Huddle to store important team files, and with a dispersed team, we set permissions on files that are relevant to each team, helping us keep files up to date and streamline projects."
 

Cons

"I think that customization and text styling could be improved."
"With that, I will no longer recommend the product, as I am opposed to the cloud-first hype."
"I would like Confluence to include the ability to draw flowcharts and diagrams."
"On the cloud, we do not have a source editor if you want to go and validate the watch type of HTML or if you want to pull that HTML content for that cloud of pages."
"There could be improvements with the app ecosystem."
"Indentation and other basic word processing styles must be improved."
"User interface (UI) could be improved."
"Reporting on content usage info and patterns is completely missing and would be a great addition."
"I think the navigation from project to project could be improved, but other than that, nothing I would add."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For us, it's free to use. We don't pay any licensing."
"When you purchase this solution you get some support."
"Making integration with other tools easier would be beneficial."
"We pay $350 a month to use the solution."
"Pricing wise, it ends up being an expensive solution. In the beginning it's cheap, but by the time you have all the functions you need, it turns out to be expensive."
"The issues I have with the pricing are in respect to the add-ons."
"Licenses are quite expensive"
"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."
