Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have found limiting permissions and history very valuable."
"The most valuable features is its design documentation abilities."
"I would recommend Confluence to other users because it's easy to use and integrates well with other documentation tools."
"We switched because it was the better product for a lesser price."
"It has improved collaboration, transparency, and documentation quality among teams."
"At the moment, Atlassian Confluence is the best team product you can buy."
"Confluence works as a trunk for our documentations and instructions, and a help centre for our telephone contact centre."
"The trial stages, the ability to connect it to Jira, and the ability to export in PDF are all good capabilities."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the text editor upgraded from its current limited abilities."
"Atlassian Confluence could improve how information is shared outside our company. We had some negative experiences with the rights we have with our information when sharing it within Atlassian Confluence and with other teams outside the company. It's due to the limitations on the rights we have on the export capabilities. We don't have sufficient rights to do so."
"When we import the data in Confluence from Word or any other document, the formatting is not correct."
"We would like there to be more advanced data manipulation features available in this solution, such as creating more complex charts, and a column freezing option."
"The user interface is a little bit stale."
"The product should have a workflow with approvals out-of-the-box."
"The way Atlassian Confluence handles tickets could be improved; this process should be easier, more flexible, and more usable, such as the ease of creating a table."
"Some macros can be technical, and they are better managed on the Confluence cloud rather than on-premises. For example, when you add an image on the cloud, you can resize it just by using the mouse. This is not the case on-premises yet. You have to write pixels of the size of the image sometimes. Some of the very old macros are still there, and some of them are technical. It can be hard for users if they are not from an IT background to understand how to use them quickly."
"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."
"The ability to work on the documents themselves, without having to download and re-upload is needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning its price falls somewhere in the mid-range zone."
"We have a site license for Atlassian Confluence and there are some limitations on external users."
"The Confluence pricing is good. The only challenge we have experienced is with Jira and the add ons we use that need to be paid for separately."
"In my opinion, it's worth the investment"
"There is an annual license."
"When you purchase this solution you get some support."
"There is a license needed to use Atlassian Confluence."
