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

"What I like the most is the Wiki software that comes with Atlassian Confluence."

"The most valuable features are the ease of creating documentation, as well as charts."

"The solution is very intuitive and provides excellent content management."
"It has tremendously improved our organisational culture, as it is a more streamlined way of handling customer issues, responses, queries, and documentation."
"Documenting everything related to the project is good for me. It enables me to use rich text to document, insert macros and links, highlight with different colors, and organize pages in a hierarchical way."
"It is very easy to use and setup."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."

Cons

"The search function is not great."
"The search function is not great."
"Space maintenance could be made a little more user-friendly."
"There is no concept of peer review or a draft mode - whatever you write is live."
"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."
"I have a couple of different pipelines that I work with. However, I'd like to see them displayed differently on the same dashboard. So, I would like to have a unified dashboard to view the different pipelines."
"It is not as professional as FrameMaker. Confluence is light and very convenient, but it is difficult to reuse the same content and its format is not as flexible as FrameMaker."
"That user management and subscriptions management was a bit painful, especially in larger environments."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"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."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."

"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
"Its functions need more stability."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
