Cons
"Atlassian Confluence is not really a community-friendly solution.""It would be interesting if they had graphical templates that allowed typical agile ceremonies to be documented better.""When we import the data in Confluence from Word or any other document, the formatting is not correct.""Some aspects of the drawing perspective could be improved. When we upgrade a design and make technical architecture drawings to publish, we still use Visio first and then copy and paste it. If this feature were available on Confluence, it would be a useful tool.""Space maintenance could be made a little more user-friendly.""The product is considered expensive.""I have a couple of different pipelines that I work with. However, I'd like to see them displayed differently on the same dashboard. So, I would like to have a unified dashboard to view the different pipelines.""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."

More Atlassian Confluence Cons →

"The linked view of database, along with the sharing and permission settings, are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement.""Notion's UI needs improvement.""Adding more color options to the application would enhance its usability and flexibility, allowing users to better customize their content""There could be an automation feature included in the product.""One area for improvement in the solution is the absence of integrated charts.""Notion's UI could be better.""It is complicated to connect Notion with external systems.""The product could be integrated with external platforms."
