Collaborative workspace has improved cross-team documentation and now supports structured projects
Much of the room for improvement lies not with the tool itself but with how people are using it. In many cases where we have had issues, it has been based on the lack of structure. The company using Atlassian Confluence needs to have a very clear structure for where information will be organized. As I mentioned, we have subsections that contain the same information, which makes searching problematic. When you search for a project, you suddenly get fifteen pages about the same project, which does not make sense. A lot of these issues lie with the site owner who needs to be more structured in their usage of the tool. Atlassian Confluence is used during meetings, especially during product evaluations where we work on collaborative projects. We also use it as a note dashboard for brainstorming and similar activities.

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

"The best feature is document management."
"Users can create tables and directly pull all Jira tickets into a Tableau format."
"The customization that Confluence offers is one of its most useful features. You can customise it based on the specific project you are working on. It also supports multiple languages."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create business collaboration solutions without having an army of IT professionals."
"Many people enjoy its zero learning-curve.​"
"For me, the most valuable feature is its high performance. It's crucial for us in the bank, as we handle a massive number of transactions every day."
"One of the best features of Atlassian Confluence is that it integrates really well with Jira, and it's easy to use."
"Confluence connects people through content and fosters a collaboration culture, capturing and providing visibility on decisions and conversations while enabling early feedback and situational awareness."
"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."
"In terms of scalability, it is easy to scale."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
 

Cons

"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. It's due to the limitations on the rights we have on the export capabilities. We don't have sufficient rights to do so."
"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."
"The way Atlassian Confluence handles tickets could be improved; this process should be easier, more flexible, and more usable, such as the ease of creating a table."
"The UI is good but bland. It could be updated a bit to make it more modern and interesting to look at."
"In the next release, I would like to have the ability to import pictures."
"Atlassian should rethink its withdrawal of the self-hosted version of the product. They only offer cloud-based service or the "datacenter-edition", which is quite expensive for small companies and private users."
"They can improve the table feature of Confluence. It is currently not adequate."
"The search is pretty terrible. I consistently have a hard time finding the things I care about on our wiki."
"I would like to see better performance."
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"We have a lot of pain with instabilities and are not getting enough support from Oracle."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning its price falls somewhere in the mid-range zone."
"We have a site license for Atlassian Confluence and there are some limitations on external users."
"The price of the on-premises data center version is too expensive."
"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."
"Making integration with other tools easier would be beneficial."
"For us, it's free to use. We don't pay any licensing."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"The price needs to be lowered."
