Compare Confluence with other popular tools in the same category.
It is a tool that allows the same integration of people as Miro, however, with the use of pages, not plates.We were able to attach the meetings via links and we left the flowcharts as well.
One thing I don't like about confluence is that we always need to be logging in to edit the panels, it's hard to stay connected to the site. We also have few options for editing the panels.
Confluence is currently being used as a library at my company. There, we store our learning content and share work information. Performance had a big increase as we got organized and gained time.
The capacity that Confluence offers to organize and edit documentation online is great.It is also an amazing tool for creating documents and then sharing them with team members to view and collaborate. My top 2 things I enjoy are: 1. Being able to organize information to my liking 2. Getting ideas and knowledge out of peoples' heads and shared 3. Templates!!
Sometimes, searching for a specific document or topic is not as easy as you may think. I have had times when I need to use over 5 keywords to finally find what I was looking for, which can be time-consuming. There is also an issue when trying to edit a document while someone else is editing. The feature does allow users to access the document and save it, however, you are unable to see the changes happening in real-time until you refresh the page.... which can result in a loss of edits and information.
Confluence is an excellent knowledge base tool that Keeps documentation well organized and in a single go-to location. What is mostly great about this, is that it enables sharing and insights across different departments, which makes it easier to understand the process and steps. Confluence is like my own little Wikipedia/Google search for the company I currently work at because it is literally the central resource for all documentation within the company and I don't know what I would do without it... I also think it is very reliable and robust, user-friendly, and easy to use.
Confluence is very user-friendly, so there is no need to spend time and money on employee training and learning. Integration with other collaboration tools. The user interface makes it easy to setup, navigate, and use.
It has a good search engine by syntax but not by context. Limited mobile functionality compared to web-based.
Confluence provides a variety of team collaboration solutions that are essential for productivity growth.
My favorite part of confluence is that I can use pre-made templates on projects, that act both as guides and make the documentation process much faster.
I wish there was a meta page where you could see all confluence spaces in one page with the latest updates, kind of like a daily overview.
Confluence allows me to collaborate with the rest of the team when we are all working remotely. It helps with agility and efficiency.
Amazing tool to use to report/communication/ present
Would be good to allow more dynamic ranges to edit pages and make it more customisable
allow to centralise all our documentation in 1 single place which is super easy to access
It's easy to use and has a fun and clean interface. the app is helpful for when I am on the go as well to be able to work without my laptop. It allows for emojis, useful layouts, etc. The jira connections also make it helpful
The challenge sometimes is getting adoption to confluence, but once people start they don't stop
It is helping the organization as a whole get alignment. Comment functionality also helps.
Creating pages and attaching macros. I like that it has many options.
sometimes it is hard to navigate to modify your pages
It helps to document my work and progresses and share to my colleagues and management
Option to attach multiple format attachments Easy of navigation
Some times updation of information after page edit is not seamless.
Daily work driver, documents preparation, requirement documentation
The Interface is Easy to Use Version management is Good , Easily can rollback and Track Changes. Easy to createTabular structures and Embed Images. Links works as Expected. Can REad Documents without Downloading. Role Group Access
Whne it come to create Flowcharts / Flow diagrams - the Interface lags - Need a good allignment mechnism , auto arrange option.
Collabration among teams and Stake Holders Version Maintainenece of Docs. Repository of Artifacts across the Organization Better version maintanence and TRacking ability
Confluence provides best in calss integrations with all the tools like Gliffy and all the Atlassian tools. We can use macros to customizes pages. Confluence is like a wiki where we can store all the documentaion
Plugins are charged based on Confluence user license base. If you want to use plugin like Gliffy just for 10 people and if your Confluence license is 3000 users then you will have to purchase Gliffy for 3000 users. Plugin lincensing pattern is worst.
We always store meeting points, technical documentations, KT docs in Confluence. It's user-friendly.
The user interface is perfect irrespective of whether you are a beginner or a professional. It is an amazing documentation management tool. Easy to share with your team and colleagues. Access control is one of the key features.
Pricing could be made more economical so that it addresses an even wider reach audience. Apart from that, it is almost as good as one can expect the tool to be.
Collaborative editing enables teams to work together on a document at the same time in addition to these changes being made in real-time. Can be used for documentation in multiple file formats.
Confluence has made Documentation and Knowledge sharing among colleagues really efficient and simple. I could attach documents and links and create Nested Pages for the organising of all the information.
The search feature should be improved, More precise and better results and could introduce some features like advanced search according to Strings with Special Characters or Search according to Regular Expression. There should have been an Autosave feature for updating the page in Real-time.
It has really helped in knowledge sharing across different teams and business units of a product and more. The accessibility to the pages can be restricted on the basis of user authentication and rights provided to a team. Creating Different Child Pages under a Parent page is really helpful for organizational purposes.
You can create a page for your whole team and you can search for a keyword within the all documents you saved in confluence. And the team is also able to reach and share urls
Only thing, while editing a page, you cannot see the other pages you have already saved or listed on the left panel. You need to open them in another tab.
We use it as a know-how drive for our work so that every team member is able to reach. Also, we have created a page for each of our client and we keep the details like credentials and creating dates
You can create multiple pages, main pages and subpages to be able to track every partner and their subpartners. You can keep data and give access to the correct person by selecting correct places to display.
It can be easy to adjust the pages. When adding tables, and when organizing things on the page, it creates some issues. And sometimes due to huge data, it creates lags on the page.
We use it for trainings and to track the all process of our workload.
It's very easy to use, we can track history, I can upload video as well in the page still it is lightweight.
Should have more customisation feature and if it will ad the feature for designing architecture for software then it will be the best one
All my documents are at one place and it has the hierarchy so it's very easy for everyone manage and even use any document they want
Collaboration in one place? team is on the same page
Task management can be tricky, Cloud version is full of limitations
Keeping all the company documentation secure
The program also allows you to create, organize and monitor tasks, as well as comment and edit them in real time. It integrates seamlessly with other applications such as Google drive, which is widely used among employees. Being able to track files uploaded to the program is perfect, so I know who opened it and who edited it.
I feel that the mobile version should be improved, because it does not have all the functions of its web version, it is only limited to the basic tools. The program is protected under a role structure that, although it protects the documents very well, makes the work difficult, since not only the documents, but also the users must be authorized. But in general terms, the program is very outstanding and every small error we have detected has been solved by the technical team.
We use this software so that our remote and office employees can easily find all the information they need for their daily work. We love the program because you can upload any type of files, videos, audios, documents, pdf and more, quickly. Also the hierarchical way in which all the information is organized makes it much easier to find the documents we need.
Designing, UI, easy to use, directory hierarchy
There is nothing that I dislike in Confluence.
Documentation, Follow-up, archive
It makes it easy for team in and outside my organization to collaborate on ideas in one single place.
No issues detected so far and I use Confluence on a daily basis.
Enhances actionable meeting notes, project planning and sharing announcements in one space.
Confluence is very useful for maintaining The notes and modules for a very specific environment and isthe most secure to access the permissions for the whom required to get that proper docand easy to maintain the task accordingly and can share easily
Confluence sometimes it works very slow and confusing between the pages and environments sometimes it's the best to have some kind of option touser friendly and to understand
It is more benefiting for me to open the requirements and task to perform and maintain easily in the one platform like confluence for every environment with lots of security
we use confluence as a solution repository and articals management where everyone can contribute to knowledgebase. I like how simple it is to use and navigate around.
I do not dislike anything as I never had any issues with this software
As said, we utilize confluence for solutions management, write articals, place for nee releases, so we are doing alot with confluence.
Confluence is a very well designed tool by Atlassian, which helps teams to have common workspace with knowledge sharing.
Though pros can easily outweigh cons, I personally feel Confluence needs a better way of searching and recently it became little slower for day to day usage.
As said before, our team use it for managing multiple SOPs or Procedure documents which is commonly used by multiple vendors.
Confluence provides all the information related to your project, program, company, etc... in a single place and acts as a knowledge base, website or guide for your product or service.
The tool is a bit difficult the first time you use it and requires some digging before getting used to it. It needs to have a more intuitive UI for easier access.
It's currently helping our team have knowledge base articles, SOPs, and a process update portal. It's provided a way to centralize all the information in a single place with easy access for everyone involved in the project.
I can easily manage document versions, and comment and share with others. Can import docs, best searching options.
Need some categories document. Also sometimes problems when importing docs to confluence. It's sometimes give us unwanted search result
In my daily life of software development using confluence to manage requirements docs
It´s like having google for any corporate document or process that you need to find
nothing is missing from this product. I completely like it
It´s like having google for any corporate document or process that you need to find. It definitely makes you more productive.
Ability to easily search for internal documentation
Sometimes things get cluttered if not updated properly
Lacking a centralized area to manage all internal content
Easy to use and able to scale across a large enterprise as easily as a startup.
limited mobile apps, no native desktop app
Building a library of standard operating procedures.
Easy to use. Can link it to stories and tasks. It can also track changes to documents
Not much honestly. I love the product. I would like to bring it to where I work now.
Documention library
Easy to use and author documents for my clients to read. Once they have reviewed requirements, they can sign off and i can create Jira tickets directly.
I would like the ability to assign simple tasks to more than one person, one person as the primary accountable, but others as responsible for a task
The ability to centrally house our functional requirements and technical documentation on one platform and tie that to development has made a huge impact
It is a great platform to centralize all our team documentation of our orpducts/projects. Ir is easier to find it and mention people to help contribute on our pages.
I think it is a good tool, and there is anything that I dislike at this point.
We use it to centralize all our documentation of our products, and we have it linked with Jira, what makes everything easier. It is faster to find what we are looking for and it is available fo all.
