Confluence Reviews & Product Details

Publishing document, Adding the references to jira etc.

At the moment I didn't find any dislike.

Ease to document, Adding the team members to access the document. Anyone in the team can change the document etc. Once the document is edited, then it will be highlighted.

It can let you categorise the topics which you want to show in a particular manner. It helps in good productivity.

Sometimes we can face some challenges regarding it's network issues and slowness apart from that it is very useful in team collaboration.

For a project specific knowledge, confluence is one of the best thing where you can document your overall structure of the business. Some projects may some techniques or technical errors which is not very conventional one. So, that technical knowledge can be documented in confluence. So, every person can refer the identical issues from confluence.

The templates provide a jumpstart to any kind of documentation, be it the how-to docs, project outline, technical specs, or internal specs, the application has a plethora of templates that provide the necessary boilerplate to get started with any documentation. Our team uses it daily and because it is a cloud-based application, real-time collaboration is a breeze, which facilitates frequent usage. The ease with which images, tables and attachments can be inserted into a document is praiseworthy. Needless to say, it works hand in glove with Jira(another Atlassian product) and even third-party software like Microsoft Teams and Slack. It is very easy to implement and has a robust customer support experience.

The grouping feature needs some improvement, it takes some experimentation to figure out how to group/organise a bunch of similar pages.

Useful product management software- as a new onboarding employee I used confluence to navigate my way around the company policies and departmental training. Its easy for large documentation to be stored and organized due to its UI/UX design. Overall, my experience has been very positive with confluence

Importing files into Confluence is quite a frustrating process. While I know its for security reasons- its a pain to only upload documents in pdf format rather than word. It adds an additional step to the process and increases anxiety of user

Helps me navigate and find my way through piles and piles of documents- thus saving my time

Everyone in the organisation can collaborate in one single space. With Confluence you can eliminate communication gaps. You can add documents, images, videos, and custom Html elements.

When the count of spaces increases then it lacks the user friendly UI to navigate. A more convenient UI could help navigation to different project and spaces easily.

One place solution to store design documents and discussion. Sprint planning and reviews, release planning and timelines. Everything releated to software development is stored in one place for dev, design, PO and testers to collaborate effectively.

Easy to write documentation, publish within minutes and share to entire team. Multiple users can edit same page at same time. It has inbuilt version management which allows to revert back to previous versions in case of mistakes. Easier to upload images, convert from word documents. it also allows to set restrictive permissions for confidential data. Integration with JIRA, drawio is also great.

Free/personal version is not available. It can be costly for small organizations.

It saves the problem of creating/maintaining various versions of product/team/knowlege documentation. Allows multiple users to collaborate easily

Confluence seamlessly integrates with Jira, offering an exceptional toolset for managing project documentation. Its user-friendly interface and collaborative editing features make it an ideal companion, ensuring efficient documentation and knowledge sharing alongside Jira's project management capabilities.

I desire increased flexibility in designing documentation layouts and a broader selection of templates to cater to diverse needs.

Allowing for efficient creation, organization, and collaboration on documents. This helps teams overcome challenges related to document structure, version control, and accessibility, contributing to a more seamless and productive documentation management experience.

Intuitive interface and collaborative features, making knowledge sharing and project collaboration a breeze.

Confluence could elevate user experience by introducing more customizable templates, providing greater flexibility in tailoring content structures to diverse project needs.

Easy way to manage project documentation

simplicity, you can create and manage a page, made a mistake? editing is easily done and you can also view the previous versions of the page you created once you've edited it. There are also plugins made for it on Slack to keep people updated on what pages have been created and what pages have been edited. It is very easily integrated into Slack as well since you only need to contact the bot and have them integrate themselves into your company's profile. Confluence is used by us at our company every day 24/7 as it is our knowledge base.

the search function sometimes can be inaccurate.

Confluence benefits us as a company due to limitless pages that we can create containing all the information we need to add, also, it solves the issues of having separate websites for knowledge sources.

The thing I love about confluence is the stability of how the service works and the ease of its integration with other services.

Sometimes the update of the file takes looooong

It serves s internal WIKI for all the projects' documentation.
