Confluence reviews

Knowledge Base as root

Opmerkingen: It has a learning curve at the beginning. Still, later on, and not so long after, you will find yourself putting everything on confluence because it is easy, well-managed, and perfect for a platform where people can find documentation and information in a well-presented format.

Pluspunten:

Confluence is part of an already well-positioned and easy-to-implement ecosystem where multiple tools perform a specific job in a workflow. This makes it easy and friendly to set up and run; using information from other platforms like JIRA and Bitbucket, everything comes together in an excellent and organized way without much effort.

Minpunten:

It might be overwhelming at first; there are plenty of options and personalization elements you can include, so you might think, "It is too much for me." But by watching a couple of YouTube videos, you will see how you can customize it to suit your needs and start using its powerful features.

Overwogen alternatieven: Slack

Redenen om voor Confluence te kiezen: We used to have documentation inside our bitbucket repositories, but we required a well-defined and easy-to-access platform where the team could both collaborate and access the information for a particular part of the application without needing to go through the code to find it

Overgestapt van: Bitbucket

Redenen om over te stappen op Confluence: We found that Confluence integrated naturally with JIRA and our Bitbucket repositories, giving us an organic way to set up all our workflows in a single platform. While we could use Slack or any other messaging platform to communicate, Confluence worked perfectly for our documentation needs.

Confluence's Incredibility

Opmerkingen: Confluence allows room for ideas to flow. It basically makes work easily for me.

Pluspunten:

Confluence is an incredible platform for amazing collaborations and even for managing and organizing tasks. When am working on projects and I want to finish them fast I use Confluence because I can collaborate with teams and share ideas.

Minpunten:

I haven't had any problems with Confluence.

It served its purpose for a while.

Opmerkingen: I used Confluence for several years on-prem, now that the Atlassian have discontinued support for on-prem its time to find an alternative that is secure. Atlassian cloud has far too many data breaches to trust them to host trade secrets and other confidentual data.

Pluspunten:

Concurrent users collaborating on the same article at the same time.

Minpunten:

Poor customer service (ignored) Too many security vulnerabilities to have internet-facing Atlassian discontinued on-prem offering to push more expencive cloud hosted option. Inverse economy of scale, pricing increases as teams grow.

I love Confluence

Opmerkingen: Convenient, high availability, great features

Pluspunten:

Perfect for documentation, with various supporting features around that.

Minpunten:

Probably cost, pay per user, it is perhaps not good for start-ups.

Overwogen alternatieven: Microsoft SharePoint en Azure DevOps Services

Redenen om over te stappen op Confluence: Better features than the others, particularly for documentation

Effective way of recording design history and decisions

Opmerkingen: Confluence made the recording of our UX delivery from Discovery to Beta really easy, so that people joining the project, stakeholders or future teams working on the same service can review the decisions we made and the evidence to back them up.

Pluspunten:

It was an effective tool for logging reasons, process and the development of an agile UX delivery from Discovery to Beta - logging design histories, decisions and changes in a way that was easy to navigate.

Minpunten:

Not much to add here - search functions and labelling worked well, and it was easy to use when creating the documentation too.

A good experience with Confluence

Opmerkingen: My experience with Confluence was across multiple companies, so I saw the evolution of the product. in general it's a good tool to store your companies knowledge center, it has both on prem and saas solutions and it has a very short onboarding time.

Pluspunten:

Confluence has enabled myself and my team to keep a single point of reference where you can always count on to have the latest enterprise data, it's very reliable and has very good search capabilities shortenning the time to find a piece of information.

Minpunten:

It works best when you have the whole package of Atlassian which includes Jira and Bitbucket, It also has good integration with other tools but best all the tools to come from one "home".

Confluence review

Confluence is a good addition for Jira, which makes collaboration easier

Minpunten:

Confluence makes development experience better; we can have all documents and artifacts in one place

Great documentation tool

Opmerkingen: It' s very easy to use and a straightforward tool for everyday use

Pluspunten:

It's a great tool to document software processes and features Integration with jira user stories to see documents inline

Minpunten:

the editor could work better when copying content from existing documents

Great for Collaboration

Pluspunten:

This application is great for collaboration.

Minpunten:

the features can get complex and a bit confusing.

Using Confluence

Opmerkingen: It has been great been using it for a little more than two months.

Pluspunten:

It is super easy to navigate and keep track of everything!

Minpunten:

I haven't had a bad experience yet with confluence.

Jira and Confluence - Solid Project Management Tools

Opmerkingen: Really enjoy this product. Would buy it again!

Pluspunten:

I greatly enjoy the Kanban views, and ability to easily set up reporting across teams/boards. It's fairly easy to customize. Planning Sprints and seeing burn down reports is also very easy with this tool.

Minpunten:

There really isn't much I dislike. I haven't used it for Resource Management so if you need to be able to do that ...I'm not sure if this is the tool for you.

As a user and an admin what do i like or dislike

Opmerkingen: great go do business tool and used industry wide, has issues such as very slow support and lack of features which can be expanded with costly plugins

Pluspunten:

the ability to control used access is great and to manage different spaces for different situations. we have also been able to use confluence to drive content on hosted web sites driven from confluence spaces with the help of plugins

Minpunten:

plugins are costly, and to make full use you need to use them. These seems to be charged based on how many users you have in confluence rather than how many who would use the plugin. this makes it expansive and there is no way of restricting a plugin to a user group

Overwogen alternatieven: Zendesk Suite

Redenen om over te stappen op Confluence: easier to use that other options available are the industry standard as well as coming with Jira

Confluence is a very famous product for project management.

Opmerkingen: If you're new to it, you need to adapt. You also have a reluctance to tools that you haven't used before. But for effective projects and business management, you now have to use collaborative tools. You can get a better work environment by adapting quickly to the initial inconvenience.

Pluspunten:

Project management, output, work-specific human resources management, sharing and collaboration with all participants are important, and Confluence solves all these things at once. There are many services and solutions for efficient project management, but we always use Confluence.

Minpunten:

Perhaps because it is mainly used for necessary functions, there are no disadvantages yet.

If you are a Product Owner, Confluence is a the right tool to go with.

Pluspunten:

The ability to navigate, create and modify documents and contents in Confluence.

Minpunten:

Improperly configured add-ons sometimes can cause slow page loading. An option of what caused the delay in the loading of a confluence page and how much time it took, could be a good indication to resolve issues.

Unlock Seamless Collaboration with Confluence

Pluspunten:

Confluence makes it really easy to write stuff down and work together. You can share all kinds of information like plans, ideas, and technical stuff with your team or even with people outside your team. It's super simple to use and looks really clean. It's made for teams, so everyone can work together in one place, no matter where they are or what time it is. You can do lots of different things with it, like keeping track of different versions of your work and making cool diagrams. The writing part is easy too, and you can add pictures, tables, and other stuff to your pages. It's like having a big blank page where everyone can add their ideas. There are also templates you can use to start your work without starting from scratch every time. You can organize all your stuff in different spaces, so it's easy to find what you need. And because everything is in one place, it's really convenient. When you share your work, lots of people can work on it at the same time. You can give feedback right away and get notifications when someone talks about you or your work. Overall, Confluence is a great tool for teams to work together and share ideas.

Minpunten:

The Pricing is on the expensive side . It can also get difficult to customize . It can also crash sometimes .

Usefulness of confluence in our organization

Opmerkingen: Overall confluence is an helpful application as it supports various devices and also provide data security for our data stored in there. It is a useful documentation and knowledge tool and easy to use in general.

Pluspunten:

Enables user to publish, store and share different content in the space. We use this to store our product and implementation related documentation which is helpful for new employees who join the team or revisit old methods. Blogs can be published shared with specific access and share with features such as likes,comments etc.

Minpunten:

Navigation is somewhat difficult and causes confusion at times as we have many team and many branches, sub-branches, libraries it gets harder to navigate. Access controls are limited in customisations.

Confluence makes knowledge sharing easy

Opmerkingen: It is a great solution to our knowledge sharing problems. We use it like an intranet to house policies, updates, documents and calendars in one central spot and it has worked really well in helping employees find the information they need without having to ask

Pluspunten:

It is a really quick and easy way to share knowledge share documents and collaborate with your team. It enables us to inform our whole business of processes in a streamlined way

Minpunten:

The UI can be difficult to figure out. Features arent necessarily where you would expect them and I think more work could be done around organizing folders and pages

Solid Google Documentation on steroid

Opmerkingen: Great, I use it daily for spec documentation and code documentation, and it is always pretty fast to find or do what I want

Pluspunten:

It is very easy to organize the space how you want, make multiple page with complext embedded or graphs and chart and have a "book documentation" like summary that is very easy to navigate. The search is really powerful

Minpunten:

It is sometimes heavy and slow to load pages and formatting sometimes so hard to make it do what you want. But I guess haven't practiced enough with it.

Easy Confluence

Opmerkingen: Confluence helps with my daily work as it is one of our resources and tool in the office. Just one click and I can easily find what article I need.

Pluspunten:

What I like t most about Confluence is that it is very user-friendly, easy to navigate, and very helpful when it comes to knowledge needs.

Minpunten:

There is honestly nothing to be disliked with Confluence.

User review

Opmerkingen: Confluence is a powerful tool that can enhance team collaboration and project management.

Pluspunten:

Excellent for creating, organizing, and sharing documentation within teams. Helps to serve as a single source of the information project. Helps with collaboration features, editing, adding comments, and notifications, which improves the communication of the team. Provides templates for several types of documents, makes it easier to get started. It easy integrates with other Atlassian products (like Jira). Very user-friendly interface make it accessible for users of all technical levels.

Minpunten:

using the documents is easy, but navigating within it requires a training, and might take some time to get use to it. The paid plans can be expensive, for big teams

Easy to use knowledge base system

Opmerkingen: the best tool I've used so far for creating a knowledge base

Pluspunten:

We love how easy it is to add pages and edit the structure of already made information pages

Minpunten:

the global search field searches in all published pages and would be easier to limit the search to the current project. but we fixed that by adding a custom search field to our own home page.

The knowledge management platform of choice, in my workplace.

Pluspunten:

Confluence's huge customization capacity is its key strength and it is what I cherish most about it. As a user, I have the option to create my own customized workflow , using the in-built templates on Confluence. By doing the aforementioned, it is easy to continuously adapt Confluence to the unique needs of I and my team, thereby boosting day to day work productivity.

Minpunten:

When I am updating pages simultaneously with other users, the page content is never updated in real time.

A great tool for keep corporate documentation

Opmerkingen: All the documentation is in a single system available for all our employees.
We can search for any information required at any time.

Pluspunten:

We use Atalassian Confluence as our documentation tool / WIKI We like to had all the information in a single source that is searchable and easy to access.

Minpunten:

The Migration process from On premises Confluence to Cloud confluence was complicated and must be more easy. Apart of that I can't fine something else to complain.

Confluence Cloud continues to impress our company

Pluspunten:

Cloud-based, intuitive text editor, and an assortment of built-in macros for formatting text, embedding content, and linking other pages. The mobile application for Confluence lets our users access data while on-the-go and not in front of their computers.

Minpunten:

Visibility to other data requires permissions to that data as well as the current data. It would occasionally be useful to be able to embed a view of other content that is locked behind restrictions on view/edit.

We are at the peak of productivity with Confluence!

Opmerkingen: Confluence is the best collaboration tool used by teams to create, share and collaborate on content on a central platform. Its versatility in facilitating information sharing, project management and documentation across teams and organizations ensures that our business processes are very efficient. My experience with Confluence has been great and I highly recommend it.
