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.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Confluence improved our communication and collaboration allowing everyone relevant to the discussion to provide their feedback while allowing managers to easily sift through the conversation to make strategic decisions."
"Confluence is the BEST wiki on the market."
"Meetings are registered in Confluence, allowing easy access on what had been discussed and the to-do lists."
"I like the documentation. It's a central platform, and there are many things that I can do with it. I'm very pleased about it."
"The sharing of information and simple formatting are valuable features. That is, there are no templates, and everything uses one format. This means that people don't need to worry about formatting."
"It is easy to use."
"The best feature is document management."
"Confluence works as a trunk for our documentations and instructions, and a help centre for our telephone contact centre."
"In terms of scalability, it is easy to scale."
"These features are great components in WebCenter Collaboration for presenting various middleware and ECM functionalities to the end user in a single portal application."
"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 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 solution is completely scalable and one of the best Oracle tools in my opinion."
"Overall, this is a very good solution and other than the support for the Arabic translation, I cannot think of additional features that I would like at the moment."
"The main feature and idea of dynamically creating navigation, pages and portals are overall good and very valuable."
"This product is very good for scaling; it is easy to expand this solution and I think it is the best solution for all of the problems you might have with document storage."
 

Cons

"When we have a project that we don't want to share with everybody but want people to know that it exists, there is no way to do this in Confluence."
"The ability to delegate administrative roles, very difficult to give someone delegated administrative ability – almost all or nothing."
"Some versions have annoying bugs from time to time."
"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."
"The product is considered expensive."
"Some elements of the user interface could be more user-friendly, including embedding diagrams."
"The UI is good but bland. It could be updated a bit to make it more modern and interesting to look at."
"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."
"This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade."
"Its functions need more stability."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"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."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"We have a lot of pain with instabilities and are not getting enough support from Oracle."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have to pay licensing fees."
"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."
"When you purchase this solution you get some support."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"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."
"Licenses are quite 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."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"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."
