Has a user-friendly interface but performance is not up to scratch
I mainly use WebCenter for content management and publishing WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly. WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system. Its performance is also not up to the market standard, and its agility and adaptability could be improved.…

"The most valuable feature is the ability to create business collaboration solutions without having an army of IT professionals."
"The most valuable feature of Atlassian Confluence is the ability to access your files from anywhere."
"Confluence is very easy to use and has strong search functionality."
"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)."
"The most valuable features to me are the ability to create contents with the interface, such as creating database tables, and the product's JSP APIs and REST APIs are also very useful."

"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."

Cons

"There is no concept of peer review or a draft mode - whatever you write is live."
"The standard table capability is substandard and virtually unusable."
"Confluence's scalability is okay, but you have some performance problems when you're working with too many people."
"The product is considered expensive."
"Some aspects of the drawing perspective could be improved."
"User interface (UI) could be improved."
"The UX is a little bit all over the place."
"The cost of the solution is too high."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"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."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"When you purchase this solution you get some support."
"The Confluence pricing is good. The only challenge we have experienced is with Jira and the add ons we use that need to be paid for separately."
"In my opinion, it's worth the investment"
"Confluence charges an extra fee for analytics."
"The price of this solution is considered to be high; however, when speaking with Oracle, it is possible to get discounts of up to sixty percent."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
