Collaborative workspace has improved cross-team documentation and now supports structured projects
Much of the room for improvement lies not with the tool itself but with how people are using it. In many cases where we have had issues, it has been based on the lack of structure. The company using Atlassian Confluence needs to have a very clear structure for where information will be organized. As I mentioned, we have subsections that contain the same information, which makes searching problematic. When you search for a project, you suddenly get fifteen pages about the same project, which does not make sense. A lot of these issues lie with the site owner who needs to be more structured in their usage of the tool. Atlassian Confluence is used during meetings, especially during product evaluations where we work on collaborative projects. We also use it as a note dashboard for brainstorming and similar activities.

Group events allow everyone to see live updates
The ability to have a box storage feature supporting each community page is the most valuable feature, i.e., similar to what we already know. The allowance to get others to contribute to documents and make comments as all are being tracked is another important feature Group events are being…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SharePoint is very confusing, but Atlassian Confluence is very simple."
"This is a scalable solution that supports thousands of users."
"This became the primary location where all knowledge documents and other documentation were recorded and held."
"It is easy to use."
"Confluence is very easy to use and has strong search functionality."
"I would recommend Confluence to other users because it's easy to use and integrates well with other documentation tools."
"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."
"With Confluence, everything is in one place, so it's easy to find documentation."
"MangoApps is my go-to recommendation for sole proprietorships, startups, SMBs, or even established companies who need a one-stop-shop for communication, filesharing, knowledge base management, and project management."
"The ability to have a box storage feature supporting each community page is the most valuable feature, i.e., similar to what we already know."
 

Cons

"The price could be improved. I have heard that certain adjustments would be made in 2024 and that it will then be more expensive, but I don't know the specifics."
"The search is pretty terrible. I consistently have a hard time finding the things I care about on our wiki."
"The product should have a workflow with approvals out-of-the-box."
"Some versions have annoying bugs from time to time."
"Sometimes the system does not respond as fast as a normal web interface."
"There could be improvements with the app ecosystem."
"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."
"Out-of-the-box, it does not have a good workflow solution, which is a bit odd given that there is a good workforce solution in Jira software."
"The ability to work on the documents themselves, without having to download and re-upload is needed."
"It doesn't have the most professional sounding name... but then again, I don't know that the name of a solution should be a factor in your decision making."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license."
"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."
"Maybe we're only using 10% of it, but we have to pay for everything."
"The issues I have with the pricing are in respect to the add-ons."
"Making integration with other tools easier would be beneficial."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning its price falls somewhere in the mid-range zone."
"In my opinion, it's worth the investment"
"We pay $350 a month to use the solution."
