Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Makes integration with other softwares or plugins easier."
"The ease of use makes it accessible for all users."
"Formerly used Sharepoint – we like that Confluence has higher usability for the user so we can democratize content creation."
"Document collaboration is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"It is easy to use."
"Confluence works as a trunk for our documentations and instructions, and a help centre for our telephone contact centre."
"It has tremendously improved our organisational culture, as it is a more streamlined way of handling customer issues, responses, queries, and documentation."
"As for valuable features, the team management features help us to share information very easily."
"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

"There are certain features, like AD FS and workflows, that don't appear to be mature enough for Enterprise use."
"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."
"Maybe we're only using 10% of it, but we have to pay for everything."
"I think the user interface could be more graphically pleasing, as well as establishing permissions across various spaces and user levels a bit clearer."
"Concerning the integration capabilities of Atlassian Confluence with Jira, I find it surprisingly simple, meaning it does not really have powerful features in it, but it is easy to set up."
"I've always found search to be buggy."
"There are some issues with performance when creating tables."
"Some versions have annoying bugs from time to time."
"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."
"The ability to work on the documents themselves, without having to download and re-upload is needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Confluence charges an extra fee for analytics."
"There is a license needed to use Atlassian Confluence."
"There is an annual license."
"In my opinion, it's worth the investment"
"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."
"We have to pay licensing fees."
"We pay $350 a month to use the solution."
"There are some cases where you can go on Confluence as a public site without a license, but you will not have all of the features. You can also have a Confluence site that does not require a license just to read the articles. When you have Jira Service Management attached to Confluence, then you can go through the portal of Jira Service Management and read the Confluence articles without the license. This is good because when you are in an ITSM environment, you have many customers, and you do not want them to have to pay just to read articles. Regarding the use of the full features of Confluence, there is a license cost, and it depends on how many users you want."
