Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Confluence

Pros

It's simple, no need to worry much about colours, formatting, etc

Cons

Main drawback - to this date I haven't found a way to have live documents uploaded, meaning every time something changes - I need to upload a new version. Many of the documents are net being previewed (you cannot even view them online), so you have to download them.

Pros

Confluence is a well established, feature rich, easy to use and highly scalable collaboration tool. It makes writing and sharing documentation very easy. There is a vast library of (mostly paid for) plugins that can customise the experience.

Cons

It's expensive and the plug in system ramps up the cost considerably as well. Plugins have a habit of launching for free but after some time they start charging.
(usually shortly after you realise it's indispensable). They make it hard to remove and replace plugins.
Th search facility is not configurable and heavily weights results to more recent documents.

Pros

Confluence is one of the best widely used content management web application,which help corporates and enterprise team to manage and maintain lots of internal and external content.many features like its own space,personalized feeds and community hub mske it more adorable to use.

Cons

Nothing as such,its adding its new features and upgrade user experience based on feedback.

Pros

What I liked most about Confluence is its seamless collaboration features. The real-time editing and comment functionalities make it incredibly easy for my team to work together on documentation. The integration with other Atlassian tools like Jira adds even more value.

Cons

One thing which felt hard for me while using confluence is to find docs from different spaces when too many spaces and docs are there. I think the main reason is that it would take time to arrange and keep the docs in correct places and name it correctly.

Pros

Easy to use, ready to go templates for writing your documentation, and Confluence AI helps improve the tone of the writing.

Cons

It's table of contents isn't my favourite and wish there was an easier way to group related articles together.

Pros

Confluence features organized spaces for data management that simplify the coordination of workflow between all departments, maintains the centralization of documentation and the integrity of reviews. I loved how Confluence ensures that information is continuously accessible to everyone in real time and the ease of adding and formatting content, whether at the level of reports or interactive panels. Confluence always makes content more attractive and makes it easy for the team to browse and add notes. I loved the advanced search options that allow access to any document or information with extreme ease.

Cons

Confluence is distinguished by its multiple options that organize the workflow and support the creation of reports without errors.

Pros

It is configurable and rich with features, from tables to visualization to storing various document types.

Cons

It takes some training or being a superuser to know how to document something and make it visually appealing.

Pros

This application is great for collaboration.

Cons

the features can get complex and a bit confusing.

Pros

I greatly enjoy the Kanban views, and ability to easily set up reporting across teams/boards. It's fairly easy to customize. Planning Sprints and seeing burn down reports is also very easy with this tool.

Cons

There really isn't much I dislike. I haven't used it for Resource Management so if you need to be able to do that ...I'm not sure if this is the tool for you.

Pros

For our development team, Confluence is an intuitive platform that just works!
It's easy to use, more performant than Sharepoint and has great Jira (the other essential tool we use for Agile project management) integration, given that both tools are from Atlassian.

Cons

Search accuracy needs to be improved. Page insights require additional licensing.

Pros

Confluence is a very robust and powerful tool that makes knowledge sharing and documentation easy

Cons

Once you use any external ad-ons, the pricing increases

Pros

It was an effective tool for logging reasons, process and the development of an agile UX delivery from Discovery to Beta - logging design histories, decisions and changes in a way that was easy to navigate.

Cons

Not much to add here - search functions and labelling worked well, and it was easy to use when creating the documentation too.

Pros

Confluence has enabled myself and my team to keep a single point of reference where you can always count on to have the latest enterprise data, it's very reliable and has very good search capabilities shortenning the time to find a piece of information.

Cons

It works best when you have the whole package of Atlassian which includes Jira and Bitbucket,
It also has good integration with other tools but best all the tools to come from one "home".

Pros

This is a digital workspace that enables us to work as a team.
I like how Confluence has been promoting collaboration at our workplace.

Cons

I am impressed by the flawlessness of Confluence.
Confluence is so amazing and powerful.

Pros

The best aspect of Confluence that I have found is that it is really easy to use and very friendly. This software is very convenient for use by anyone, including the first time user of this kind of applications. I also like the potential of making and editing content that is shared and I also believe that communication as well as teamwork are enhanced.

Cons

But the thing that I did not like most is that I sometimes get the feeling that the tool is rather limited in what it does allow me to change. I want more configuration possibilities, so that it would be possible to fit the software to the needs of my workshop.

Pros

It has well implemented page tree which makes it easy to find required content documentation.It makes it easy to create and manage documentation for knowledge base collaboration.It has good import/export capabilities and also browser extension works really well.

Cons

Two issues I've encountered with Confluence are the limitations on customization,which prevents me from making any adjustments and the restricted offline access.

Pros

Confluence is the most trusted documentation player in the game. We use Jira for our engineering task management so naturally, the seamless vertical integration between the two tools is excellent. Confluence has an excellent template library and perhaps most importantly, the performance is always reliable. We can't use tools like ClickUp due to bugs and performance issues for long significant PRDs. The collaboration on confluence is excellent and permissions around editing is also important.

Cons

Confluence is quite clunky (much like Jira). The ability to edit isn't as easy as ClickUp or Notion and that can get frustrating when you're trying to make changes quickly.

Pros

Confluence excels in collaboration and knowledge management among teams in the organization. It acts as a document center where answers to most respective questions or issues are answered by peers saving tons of time.

Documentation of a specific process allows new joiners to quickly understand the by just looking into the documentation instead of assigning a resource to help them understand the whole process. It is a great platform for productivity.

Cons

Editing the documents can be made just like Microsoft Word and duplicating all its features could be great because almost all use Word to edit documents.

Pros

It is a really quick and easy way to share knowledge share documents and collaborate with your team. It enables us to inform our whole business of processes in a streamlined way

Cons

The UI can be difficult to figure out. Features arent necessarily where you would expect them and I think more work could be done around organizing folders and pages

Pros

What I like the most about confluence is user friendly. You can create a page that your colleague can access. Update anytime you want then publish automatically.

Cons

You have an account provided by your IT of your employer

Pros

Very easy to familiarize with and to use

Cons

The display of the inserted file that are not well attractive

Pros

Perfect way to store documentation in a single repository. Seamlessly integrates with Jira (another one of the Atlassian suite products), bridging the gap between content sharing and delivery. Documents can be as public or as private as you like in seconds. Can be altered to your needs and be as complex or as clean as fits your needs.

Cons

I actually can’t think of much I dislike, can’t even remember what life at work was before confluence :d

Pros

A great platform to store all team knowledge. It's user-friendly and allows for easy editing and consistent formatting. You can also share very easily.

Cons

The search function doesn't always give you what you're looking for.
