We performed a comparison between Atlassian Confluence and Liferay Digital Experience Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Drupal and others in Corporate Portals (Enterprise Information Portals)."What's most valuable to me in Atlassian Confluence is that it allows the concurrent development of documentation. I also like how you can add comments offline and implement changes directly on the document."
"The solution helped us to see where we were going wrong and where we were doing good, and that helped us to make proper decisions"
"The sharing of information and simple formatting are valuable features. That is, there are no templates, and everything uses one format. This means that people don't need to worry about formatting."
"The trial stages, the ability to connect it to Jira, and the ability to export in PDF are all good capabilities."
"The best feature is document management."
"Atlassian Confluence's most valuable features are the ease in which you can use the tool, the flexibility in creating folder structures, receiving notifications in case others put remarks on the documents, and working together on documents."
"This solution allowed us to easily input details beyond just text, such as creating basic data charts to monitor team performance."
"The integration's very good. You still have integration with lots of third party products, and it's very good."
"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"The solution is easy to install."
"Manageability is very good and probably the most valuable part of a tool of this type. There is a little more of a learning curve than you have with a simple tool, but a business user can learn to manage the system as an administrator very easily."
"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."
"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."
"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."
"We chose Liferay because it is open-source and that we can make any number of users apply, register into the system and use the system, as opposed to other solutions where the cost is based on user licenses. This is one of the most attractive features."
"It allows us to arrange and develop new ideas, then incorporate them into the portal. We can create a one stop information center, so people can access the information from one window."
"Atlassian Confluence should improve the interface, it needs to be more user-friendly. It is easy to use, but it could be more intuitive."
"The UI is good but bland. It could be updated a bit to make it more modern and interesting to look at."
"This is kind of by design, however, the lack of control in terms of editing the page to make it look the way you want it to look is an issue. It would be nice if there was more flexibility there."
"Atlassian Confluence could improve how information is shared outside our company. We had some negative experiences with the rights we have with our information when sharing it within Atlassian Confluence and with other teams outside the company. It's due to the limitations on the rights we have on the export capabilities. We don't have sufficient rights to do so."
"The search function is not great."
"When we have a project that we don't want to share with everybody but want people to know that it exists, there is no way to do this in Confluence. When a project is not shared, people cannot see that it exits."
"I would like Confluence to include the ability to draw flowcharts and diagrams."
"I think the couple of improvement areas would be around Markdown support and support for adding code."
"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
"The LAR import and export feature of the product doesn't work well. From a developer's point of view, the tool's OSGi framework is not easy."
"It could be improved in terms of adding filters to some of the rules. Therefore, you can retain how long a document would need to stay in an archive."
"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
