Rabindra K Maharana - PeerSpot reviewer
Editing features improve document accessibility
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. Guidance on this should be available in a forum. Recently, I used a feature in another tool—perhaps GitHub—where it helped prepare a chart. It involved listing resources, like having fifteen people in the X team, ten in the Y team, and seven in the Z team. It created a bar chart showing these numbers. This chart used AI to offer users the option to create it based on the data. It was then created on a separate page and made available.
Deepak_Patel - PeerSpot reviewer
A knowledge management software that provides great scalability options to its users
Right now, I work for a company that sells products like access control systems, time attendants, telecoms, and CCTVs for video surveillance. My company needs to contact the concerned people of companies in the USA and Canada who would like to purchase our products. Our company is in India, so we want the directories which are being used in the USA to be able to trace potential buyers of our products. I recommend the solution to those planning to use it. Due to some loading-related issues, we have faced with the solution in our company, I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think that it is one of the best products on the market from my experience."
"Collaboration is most valuable. You can upload or create your documents on Confluence and share them with your team members. Your team members also can share documents."
"The most valuable feature of Atlassian Confluence it's very easy to use and there are different options."
"The integration's very good. You still have integration with lots of third party products, and it's very good."
"I find the editing option straightforward and quick."
"Pricing is not a problem."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from its document-controlling feature. In Atlassian Confluence, controlled documents cannot be edited by anyone else."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The solution is not very user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"There needs to be a flexible pricing model, where we can pick and choose services and customize our pricing model."
"Some macros can be technical, and they are better managed on the Confluence cloud rather than on-premises. For example, when you add an image on the cloud, you can resize it just by using the mouse. This is not the case on-premises yet. You have to write pixels of the size of the image sometimes. Some of the very old macros are still there, and some of them are technical. It can be hard for users if they are not from an IT background to understand how to use them quickly."
"The product should have a workflow with approvals out-of-the-box."
"In the next release, I would like to have the ability to import pictures."
"Confluence cannot replace Microsoft Word at the moment, so even though it can be used as a document management system, it is not meant for document creation, which adds a lot of limitations to it."
"The solution's stability is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Making integration with other tools easier would be beneficial."
"In my opinion, it's worth the investment"
"Licenses are quite expensive"
"There is an annual license."
"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."
"The price of the on-premises data center version is too expensive."
"We pay $350 a month to use the solution."
"We have a site license for Atlassian Confluence and there are some limitations on external users."
"There is a need to make payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
