"Business Improvement"
What do you like best about Confluence?

Useful product management software- as a new onboarding employee I used confluence to navigate my way around the company policies and departmental training. Its easy for large documentation to be stored and organized due to its UI/UX design. Overall, my experience has been very positive with confluence

What do you dislike about Confluence?

Importing files into Confluence is quite a frustrating process. While I know its for security reasons- its a pain to only upload documents in pdf format rather than word. It adds an additional step to the process and increases anxiety of user

What problems is Confluence solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps me navigate and find my way through piles and piles of documents- thus saving my time

"An all in one software for project documentation"
What do you like best about Confluence?

The templates provide a jumpstart to any kind of documentation, be it the how-to docs, project outline, technical specs, or internal specs, the application has a plethora of templates that provide the necessary boilerplate to get started with any documentation. Our team uses it daily and because it is a cloud-based application, real-time collaboration is a breeze, which facilitates frequent usage. The ease with which images, tables and attachments can be inserted into a document is praiseworthy. Needless to say, it works hand in glove with Jira(another Atlassian product) and even third-party software like Microsoft Teams and Slack. It is very easy to implement and has a robust customer support experience.

What do you dislike about Confluence?

The grouping feature needs some improvement, it takes some experimentation to figure out how to group/organise a bunch of similar pages.

What problems is Confluence solving and how is that benefiting you?

At Inpixon, Confluence plays a vital role in addressing various aspects of our collaborative work environment: 1. Centralized Collaboration: Confluence serves as our central hub for team collaboration, allowing us to seamlessly work together on projects, share valuable information, and foster a cohesive team dynamic. 2. Document Management: We leverage Confluence for efficient document creation, editing, and management. This is particularly valuable for maintaining organized repositories of project-related information, ensuring accessibility and clarity. 3. Knowledge Sharing: In a technology-driven company like Inpixon, where staying informed is key, Confluence acts as our go-to knowledge base. It empowers teams to share insights, best practices, and important updates, fostering a culture of continuous learning and collaboration. 4. Project Tracking: Confluence seamlessly integrates with our project management tools and communication tools like Microsoft Teams & Slack, providing a unified platform for teams to monitor project progress, track milestones, and manage deadlines. This integration significantly enhances our overall project management efficiency.

"Collaborative Space for everyone."
What do you like best about Confluence?

Everyone in the organisation can collaborate in one single space. With Confluence you can eliminate communication gaps. You can add documents, images, videos, and custom Html elements.

What do you dislike about Confluence?

When the count of spaces increases then it lacks the user friendly UI to navigate. A more convenient UI could help navigation to different project and spaces easily.

What problems is Confluence solving and how is that benefiting you?

One place solution to store design documents and discussion. Sprint planning and reviews, release planning and timelines. Everything releated to software development is stored in one place for dev, design, PO and testers to collaborate effectively.

"Best knowledge base website"
What do you like best about Confluence?

simplicity, you can create and manage a page, made a mistake? editing is easily done and you can also view the previous versions of the page you created once you've edited it. There are also plugins made for it on Slack to keep people updated on what pages have been created and what pages have been edited. It is very easily integrated into Slack as well since you only need to contact the bot and have them integrate themselves into your company's profile. Confluence is used by us at our company every day 24/7 as it is our knowledge base.

What do you dislike about Confluence?

the search function sometimes can be inaccurate.

What problems is Confluence solving and how is that benefiting you?

Confluence benefits us as a company due to limitless pages that we can create containing all the information we need to add, also, it solves the issues of having separate websites for knowledge sources.

"A simple and powerful place to store and publish the documentation"
What do you like best about Confluence?

The possibility to share notes and work together with other collegues. I also like to add approvals and choose from a predefined set of templates.

What do you dislike about Confluence?

It is not possible to write in two at the same time on the same document. Infact there is a locking mechanism with a history version

What problems is Confluence solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us to keep the documentation well structured and indexed. We also use confluence for technical design documentation (with approvals) and for sprint retrospectives.

"Critical knowledge hub for my team, for efficient work operations."
What do you like best about Confluence?

Confluence sets no limit to the volume of contents we are able to create as a team. Secondly, Confluence offers tight security and access controls for our saved content. This is very important to my company, due to the level of sensitive data we have saved on the Confluence platform. I must also point out that Confluence integrates with a range of the most common applications we use in the course of work. This enables and encourages us to make use of Confluence in conjunction with critical third party tools, to improve productivity and work efficiency.

What do you dislike about Confluence?

The only criticism I could direct at Confluence is that it is not a proper project management tool. However, this criticism isn't valid within the use case of I and my organization, as we have mainly deployed Confluence as a knowledge management platform and integrated it with a standard project management software.

What problems is Confluence solving and how is that benefiting you?

Confluence serves as a centralized knowledge base, on which every team member in my department is able to access critical day to day content, necessary for successful execution of their assigned job duties. Our use of Confluence has simplified remote-based collaboration between members of my organization.

"The uniqueness of confluence makes it the most suitable collaboration tool."
What do you like best about Confluence?

With all due respect, my experience with Confluence has been invaluable. Its marketplace also has some Add-ins that make use even better. As a coder, I really like the way the software allows me to speak out using short codes of Coding and images as clarifications. As such, together with its strong informational role, it becomes a very important device for our milieu. Indeed, atlassian has really built a superb platform for confluence.

What do you dislike about Confluence?

Although the platform itself is good, moving and exporting data to another platform is somewhat complicated. Also, I have experienced storage and data policy as somewhat restrictive for both when it comes to a self-hosted installation and cloud services.

What problems is Confluence solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have had Confluence as a tool that has united all documentation and made communication easier. This makes sure that all the members of the team understand each other and there are no confusion. This means, I will be able to resolve my issues faster and more efficient workflow.

"Confluence enables my company for collaboration and knowledge sharing."
What do you like best about Confluence?

The way I appreciate working as a team is through Confluence software that plays this role quite well. We can use different layouts for organizing content, which allows all team members to reach the necessary information. This is a crucial resource which operates like a database on our project documentation and it integrates with other atlassian apps without hassle. Access controls, in particular, are very vital as they limit the access of sensitive information to certain individuals. Indeed, it is a great platform where we are able to do our projects effectively.

What do you dislike about Confluence?

Conversely, the administrative tasks may be cumbersome as they are not tailored for customization and user-friendliness. On creating new documents, I find the document format selection rather rigid, thereby slowing down the process.

What problems is Confluence solving and how is that benefiting you?

Confluence has addressed the issue of dispersed knowledge and lack of coordination within my team. It sums up our knowledge and this benefits us in that we save time and improve on the quality of our work. The connective functions of the platform have improved our workflow efficacy; thus, our day to day activities are more easily achieved.

"Top Notch Knowledge Base tool"
What do you like best about Confluence?

Confluence offers a remarkable array of cutting-edge functionalities that can enhance your team's collaboration and productivity. I particularly appreciate the pre-designed layouts and templates, which simplify our work and ensure that our content is easily readable and navigable for others. Additionally, the seamless integration with JIRA is a valuable add-on that further streamlines our workflow. - The system is user-friendly. - Enables multiple editors and viewers to access it. - Allows access to previous versions of pages and project documents. - Allows facilitates comparison between pages to show recent updates. - Additionally, it is easy to implement in other tools and streamlines the customer service process.

What do you dislike about Confluence?

While it is true that quality often comes at a cost, I personally do not find Confluence to be excessively expensive. However, I have encountered some difficulties with certain templates and pages, as they tend to load quite slowly and can be time-consuming. Additionally, the search function could benefit from some improvements, and editors and publishers may find the platform to be somewhat challenging to navigate at times.

What problems is Confluence solving and how is that benefiting you?

The implementation of Confluence has had a tremendous impact on our work processes, allowing us to quickly and easily disseminate information to our members whenever it is needed. This has greatly improved our ability to respond to customer inquiries in a timely and effective manner, resulting in a seamless and enjoyable experience for both our customers and members. As a result, we have seen a significant increase in overall satisfaction levels, which is a testament to the power of this innovative tool. With Confluence, we are able to streamline our operations and provide the highest level of service to our valued customers and members.
