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.

I love the backup capabilities and the offline sync

We use OneDrive to share documents throughout the organization and collaborate. It is also used for backups. The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again. It takes too long for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from its document-controlling feature. In Atlassian Confluence, controlled documents cannot be edited by anyone else."

"The best feature is document management."

"What I like the most is the Wiki software that comes with Atlassian Confluence."

"The interface is good....I didn't face any issues with the scalability. It was very good."

"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."

"Document collaboration is the most valuable aspect of the solution."

"It has a very intuitive user interface, which every user able to manage the basic functionality of a PC will be able to work with and produce quite satisfactory results."

"Great shareable and co-editing features."

More Atlassian Confluence pros

"It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere."

"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."

"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."

"The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again."

"The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable. There were multiple instances where I had lost my valuable data on hard drives in several other places. However, with Microsoft OneDrive, I've never lost a single file."

"It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."

"It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."

"They have support for integration with a lot of tools."

More Microsoft OneDrive pros

Cons

"There are some issues with performance when creating tables."

"The product should have a workflow with approvals out-of-the-box."

"Indentation and other basic word processing styles must be improved."

"The flexibility and simplicity of this solution could be improved. We would also like the ability to add plugins."

"The dashboards should be improved."

"We would like there to be more advanced data manipulation features available in this solution, such as creating more complex charts, and a column freezing option."

"The way Atlassian Confluence handles tickets could be improved."

"Atlassian Confluence's old versions consume too much memory, making it an area where optimization is required from an improvement perspective."

More Atlassian Confluence cons

"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."

"No one gets an alert when files are deleted."

"The technical support is really very bad."

"The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why."

"If I want to pick out certain criteria of pictures, Google enables me to do that whereas OneDrive is a bit sort of flaky."

"An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice."

"The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office."

"OneDrive is a bit behind competing products like Dropbox and Box."

More Microsoft OneDrive cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Making integration with other tools easier would be beneficial."

"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."

"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."

"Licenses are quite expensive"

"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."

"There is an annual license."

"Confluence charges an extra fee for analytics."

"We have a site license for Atlassian Confluence and there are some limitations on external users."

More Atlassian Confluence pricing and cost advice

"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."

"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."

"Costwise, it is a great option. In most cases, it is a free space, which will be more than enough for most customers."

"Using this software, it has had an amazing impact moneywise on our business. It allows us to share documents without the need of extra hardware."

"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."

"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."

"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."

"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
