Editing features improve document accessibility
There is a holiday calendar, however, I need to install an app or add something to it. The add-on feature is not readily available or well-documented. Guidance on this should be available in a forum. Recently, I used a feature in another tool—perhaps GitHub—where it helped prepare a chart. It involved listing resources, like having fifteen people in the X team, ten in the Y team, and seven in the Z team. It created a bar chart showing these numbers. This chart used AI to offer users the option to create it based on the data. It was then created on a separate page and made available.

Has a user-friendly interface but performance is not up to scratch
I mainly use WebCenter for content management and publishing WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly. WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system. Its performance is also not up to the market standard, and its agility and adaptability could be improved.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Pricing is not a problem."
"This is a scalable solution that supports thousands of users."
"Copying another page and providing an option to edit everything is valuable."
"Atlassian Confluence's most valuable features are the ease in which you can use the tool, the flexibility in creating folder structures, receiving notifications in case others put remarks on the documents, and working together on documents."
"What I like the most is the Wiki software that comes with Atlassian Confluence."
"The most valuable features of Atlassian Confluence are version management and search and linkage to the JIRA tickets. They are integrated very well together. You can have links from many places and can easily jump from one to the other. If you want to find all the information about a topic, you only need to click and you receive the information."
"With respect to our experiences with Confluence, we haven't had any issues."
"The most valuable features are hyper-linking, the Drawing Tool, and enhanced tables."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
 

Cons

"The product is considered expensive."
"Atlassian Confluence could improve the stability, there are timeouts sometimes."
"There is no concept of peer review or a draft mode - whatever you write is live."
"When we import the data in Confluence from Word or any other document, the formatting is not correct."
"The add-on feature is not readily available or well-documented."
"I'd like to see some improved reporting on usage."
"Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
"An area for improvement would be the intuitiveness of using the features, especially if you want to customize."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"Its functions need more stability."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."

"We pay $350 a month to use the solution."
"In my opinion, it's worth the investment"
"I am using the paid version. My company has purchased it for company employees. We are using Confluence as a company. I don't know how much it costs, but its price is good enough. Its price is not so high."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning its price falls somewhere in the mid-range zone."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
