Manage projects effectively with seamless task tracking and integration, but deployment requires familiarity

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

"This solution allowed us to easily input details beyond just text, such as creating basic data charts to monitor team performance."
"What's most valuable to me in Atlassian Confluence is that it allows the concurrent development of documentation. I also like how you can add comments offline and implement changes directly on the document."
"The search functionality is a really powerful feature."
"The solution helped us to see where we were going wrong and where we were doing good, and that helped us to make proper decisions"
"Pricing is not a problem."
"For me, the most valuable feature is its high performance. It's crucial for us in the bank, as we handle a massive number of transactions every day."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"This is a scalable solution that supports thousands of users."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
 

Cons

"The search function is not great."
"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."
"Atlassian should rethink its withdrawal of the self-hosted version of the product. They only offer cloud-based service or the "datacenter-edition", which is quite expensive for small companies and private users."
"The discoverability of documents could be improved."
"It would be interesting if they had graphical templates that allowed typical agile ceremonies to be documented better."
"The one way in which this solution could be improved is by offering better design and UI."
"Atlassian Confluence could improve the stability, there are timeouts sometimes."
"When you are creating a table in Confluence, there is no tool to export it into Excel sheet for quick references. We can only export it as an a PDF file, but not into an editable file."
"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."
"Its functions need more stability."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"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."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the on-premises data center version is too expensive."
"We have to pay licensing fees."
"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."
"There is a license needed to use Atlassian Confluence."
"For us, it's free to use. We don't pay any licensing."
"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."
"The issues I have with the pricing are in respect to the add-ons."
"We pay $350 a month to use the solution."
"The price of this solution is considered to be high; however, when speaking with Oracle, it is possible to get discounts of up to sixty percent."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"The price needs to be lowered."
