Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Atlassian Confluence is it's very easy to use and there are different options."
"It's the best application to document all types of information."
"It has tremendously improved our organisational culture, as it is a more streamlined way of handling customer issues, responses, queries, and documentation."
"I find the editing option straightforward and quick."
"Wiki is a good solution for non-tech writers."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"JIRA has allowed my organization to aggregate our entire portfolio into one system and to eliminate five other disparate solutions."
"I would recommend Confluence, especially for anyone that is using other Atlassian products."
"The ability to have a box storage feature supporting each community page is the most valuable feature, i.e., similar to what we already know."
"MangoApps is my go-to recommendation for sole proprietorships, startups, SMBs, or even established companies who need a one-stop-shop for communication, filesharing, knowledge base management, and project management."
 

Cons

"Some versions have annoying bugs from time to time."
"User interface (UI) could be improved."
"The product is considered expensive."
"There is a significant difference between the data center version and the cloud version of Confluence. Providing the same features in both versions would be beneficial."
"The one way in which this solution could be improved is by offering better design and UI."
"Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
"Some elements of the user interface could be more user-friendly, including embedding diagrams."
"Deployment can be painful when you have to deal with different Java versions or keystores."
"The ability to work on the documents themselves, without having to download and re-upload is needed."
"It doesn't have the most professional sounding name... but then again, I don't know that the name of a solution should be a factor in your decision making."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Confluence charges an extra fee for analytics."
"When you purchase this solution you get some support."
"Licenses are quite expensive"
"Pricing wise, it ends up being an expensive solution. In the beginning it's cheap, but by the time you have all the functions you need, it turns out to be expensive."
"The issues I have with the pricing are in respect to the add-ons."
"There is a license needed to use Atlassian Confluence."
"To my knowledge, Atlassian Confluence had a pricing approach which is a commercial open-source solution, so that if you are a company, you had to pay an amount. This fee was not huge compared to other traditional solutions, and it was free for personal use or if you were an individual."
"In my opinion, it's worth the investment"
