Rabindra K Maharana - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr Consultant at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Business development manager at IFS
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

"Copying another page and providing an option to edit everything is valuable."
"The most valuable features are the ease of creating documentation, as well as charts."
"I find the editing option straightforward and quick."
"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."
"Many people enjoy its zero learning-curve.​"
"The solution is very intuitive and provides excellent content management."
"I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"With Confluence, everything is in one place, so it's easy to find documentation."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Atlassian Confluence is not really a community-friendly solution."
"The search function is not great."
"When you are creating a table in Confluence, there is no tool to export it into Excel sheet for quick references. We can only export it as an a PDF file, but not into an editable file."
"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 user interface could be improved."
"The user interface is a little bit stale. The file attachments and how they work could be improved. There is also room for improvement when it comes to CDNs."
"The UX is a little bit all over the place."
"Indentation and other basic word processing styles must be improved."
"The solution's stability is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Confluence charges an extra fee for analytics."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning its price falls somewhere in the mid-range zone."
"There is a license needed to use Atlassian Confluence."
"Licenses are quite expensive"
"There are some cases where you can go on Confluence as a public site without a license, but you will not have all of the features. You can also have a Confluence site that does not require a license just to read the articles. When you have Jira Service Management attached to Confluence, then you can go through the portal of Jira Service Management and read the Confluence articles without the license. This is good because when you are in an ITSM environment, you have many customers, and you do not want them to have to pay just to read articles. Regarding the use of the full features of Confluence, there is a license cost, and it depends on how many users you want."
"For us, it's free to use. We don't pay any licensing."
"The issues I have with the pricing are in respect to the add-ons."
"There is a need to make payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
