Rabindra K Maharana - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

A knowledge management software that provides great scalability options to its users
Right now, I work for a company that sells products like access control systems, time attendants, telecoms, and CCTVs for video surveillance. My company needs to contact the concerned people of companies in the USA and Canada who would like to purchase our products. Our company is in India, so we want the directories which are being used in the USA to be able to trace potential buyers of our products. I recommend the solution to those planning to use it. Due to some loading-related issues, we have faced with the solution in our company, I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature is the automatic tagging of information in documents. The automatic algorithm highlights irrelevant information that conflict with the actual documents."
"The most beneficial aspect is real-time collaboration, allowing multiple users to work on the same documents simultaneously."
"The best feature is document management."
"The product has a valuable feature for quick verification of documents."
"It has a very intuitive user interface, which every user able to manage the basic functionality of a PC will be able to work with and produce quite satisfactory results."
"Confluence is easy to use and integrate with other solutions, including social media platforms."
"I like the documentation. It's a central platform, and there are many things that I can do with it. I'm very pleased about it."
"Collaboration is most valuable. You can upload or create your documents on Confluence and share them with your team members. Your team members also can share documents."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"When editing a page with many iterations, it takes time to scroll down to the last iteration."
"I would like to see integration with Slack."
"The area that needs improvement is the search capability. It should have generalized capabilities."
"I would like to see more macros provided by the company included in the license."
"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."
"Atlassian Confluence should improve the interface, it needs to be more user-friendly. It is easy to use, but it could be more intuitive."
"The cost of the solution is too high."
"There is room for improvement in maybe the tree structure for articles. If you have a lot of articles, it becomes difficult to navigate."
"The solution's stability is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Confluence charges an extra fee for analytics."
"The issues I have with the pricing are in respect to the add-ons."
"We have a site license for Atlassian Confluence and there are some limitations on external users."
"Maybe we're only using 10% of it, but we have to pay for everything."
"The price of the on-premises data center version is too expensive."
"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."
"There is a need to make payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
