Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The linkage between the different Atlassian products is what I find most valuable, as you can easily link Atlassian Confluence into a Jira ticket, which allows for a quick overview when you are in the ticket system and the ability to quickly dive deeper into the Wiki directly."

"I find the editing option straightforward and quick."
"The product has a valuable feature for quick verification of documents."
"It has tremendously improved our organisational culture, as it is a more streamlined way of handling customer issues, responses, queries, and documentation."

"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."

"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."

"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet (based on WebCenter)."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement would be the intuitiveness of using the features, especially if you want to customize."
"It would be interesting if they had graphical templates that allowed typical agile ceremonies to be documented better."
"Athlassian Confluence certainly does not save me money with the license fee involved."
"The software does not currently have any kind of AI integration."

"It lacks ease of integration."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"Its functions need more stability."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"I would like to see better performance."
"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."
"Rules for contents personalization, workflows, publishing content, and the satellite cache all have room for improvement!"
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
