Vurderinger av Confluence

Knowledge Base as root

Kommentarer: 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.

Fordeler:

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.

Ulemper:

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.

An Easy To Use Platform For Knowledge Management

Kommentarer: Am happy to have known Confluence because it gets me better than other platforms. Confluence is fully packed with amazing features that simplify things for me.

Fordeler:

Confluence gets the work done in a fantastic way. Confluence is an open and shared workspace, and that's why I love Confluence. It is easy to use Confluence. It is so easy to integrate Confluence with other platforms like Slack.

Ulemper:

Confluence is fine and doesn't have any issues.

Confluence is a good option for document and process visibility

Kommentarer: It is a better option than having documents spread out in different folders. It is good how it can hold multi-media and it is relatively easy to edit.

Fordeler:

It is easy to add content to Confluence and flexible when you need to adjust where it lives.

Ulemper:

The search function is poor, there is no AI to help guide your choices and people find it hard to navigate and understand where to find the content.

Confluence - great application documentation tool

Kommentarer: Confluence is being used by various software application teams and my experience has been great with documenting solution documents.

Fordeler:

Confluence is a great tool to write software applications documentations, organize them in Team folder, having pages, whiteboards, Database of related documents grouped together. Easy to search and write structured contents with great formatting.

Ulemper:

Its easy to create tables in confluence pages. But its hard to control the table formatting which comes with default template and size. There can be more technical symbols and drawing features.

Confluence a game changer

Kommentarer: my experience with Confluence has greatly improved our documentation processes and collaboration across projects

Fordeler:

Centralized Documentation: I've found it particularly useful for creating and managing various types of documentation, such as knowledge bases, meeting notes, and project plans

Ulemper:

Confluence is a little bit to navigate and time consuming

Terrific tool for collaborative efforts with multiple partners

Kommentarer: I love the tool, my only desire is that they mitigate the rising costs of utilization.

Fordeler:

The ability to grant external read-only guest access with no additional cost accrued. This is especially integral when we research opportunities with new partners.

Ulemper:

The cost of the tool results in a heightened review for utilization use cases and research to identify a more affordable replacement each year.

One of the best there is!

Kommentarer: Confluence is great overall. It is one of my favorite applications for managing documentation (internal and external). I have recommended and implemented this at two previous workplaces as well using it in my current endeavours.

Fordeler:

The ease of creating a hierarchy that is easy to understand and change when needed.

Ulemper:

The pdf / doc export always seem to be a bit lacking in consistency and quality. It did improve over the years but I never felt it was good enough.

My Confluence POV Based on 2+ Years Experience

Fordeler:

With Confluence, it is easy and straightforward to create, share and collaborate on documents in one central repository.

Ulemper:

Ever since 2023 when I started using iOS mobile application, ai have never experienced any drawbacks.

Best tool for documentation!

Kommentarer: It's been a great experience using Confluence so far. All our documentation is here and it's been very easy to have almost everyone in the company use Confluence.

Fordeler:

Many things to like about Confluence: - Great integration with other Atlassian's tools such as JIRA - We can easily customize pages - Easy to classify/organize documents

Ulemper:

Not super intuitive at first but if you take time discovering everything the platform can do for you, it will get better!

Powerful Documentation & Knowledge Management

Kommentarer: Works perfectly with Jira, allowing teams to link Confluence pages to development tasks, sprints, and roadmaps.

Fordeler:

Great for storing, organizing, and sharing team knowledge, making it an ideal wiki for companies.

Ulemper:

While Confluence is powerful, its UI can feel overwhelming for first-time users.

Great tool for documentation and collaboration

Kommentarer: I've been a user and administrator of confluence for 15 years. I've scaled it up from 200 users in a department to over 25000 users across an entire organisation.

Fordeler:

Confluence is a well established, feature rich, easy to use and highly scalable collaboration tool. It makes writing and sharing documentation very easy. There is a vast library of (mostly paid for) plugins that can customise the experience.

Ulemper:

It's expensive and the plug in system ramps up the cost considerably as well. Plugins have a habit of launching for free but after some time they start charging. (usually shortly after you realise it's indispensable). They make it hard to remove and replace plugins. Th search facility is not configurable and heavily weights results to more recent documents.

It provided us with a comprehensive and integrated knowledge base, which made it easy for us to prepare and share content efficiently.

Kommentarer: Confluence has enhanced our organizational capabilities through main and sub-spaces that maintain the continuity of documentation and updates.

Fordeler:

Confluence features organized spaces for data management that simplify the coordination of workflow between all departments, maintains the centralization of documentation and the integrity of reviews. I loved how Confluence ensures that information is continuously accessible to everyone in real time and the ease of adding and formatting content, whether at the level of reports or interactive panels. Confluence always makes content more attractive and makes it easy for the team to browse and add notes. I loved the advanced search options that allow access to any document or information with extreme ease.

Ulemper:

Confluence is distinguished by its multiple options that organize the workflow and support the creation of reports without errors.

Easy to use, tough as an administrator

Kommentarer: I use it daily to write and create KB articles. My goal is to get something done fast, approved and ready. Confluence allows me to reach this goal.

Fordeler:

You can very simply layout a Knowledge Base page to make the information easy to find. Searching for information is Super easy

Ulemper:

There are some limitations when setting page permissions. If you are familiar with server permissions, Confluence is not as flexible and easy.

Old and clunky, doesn't allow live documents

Fordeler:

It's simple, no need to worry much about colours, formatting, etc

Ulemper:

Main drawback - to this date I haven't found a way to have live documents uploaded, meaning every time something changes - I need to upload a new version. Many of the documents are net being previewed (you cannot even view them online), so you have to download them.

Confluence Has Exceptional Capabilities that Promote Teamwork

Kommentarer: I love the efficiency of Confluence.
The experience I have with Confluence is incredible.

Fordeler:

This is a digital workspace that enables us to work as a team. I like how Confluence has been promoting collaboration at our workplace.

Ulemper:

I am impressed by the flawlessness of Confluence. Confluence is so amazing and powerful.

Benefits of using confluence

Kommentarer: In general I liked it a lot, I think it is easy to use, understand and has a very pleasant interface for the user

Fordeler:

What I like most is the way I can organize the information and that the entire team can access it easily, quickly and safely.

Ulemper:

I would like to be able to have or see a work plan in real time, to be able to not only manage the documentation but also the progress of the project

Simplicity of process and integration of resources in one program.

Kommentarer: All in all, we conclude that Confluence is a really helpful software when it comes to project management within a team. For that reason, I believe that the key advantage of is simplicity and the ability to edit it in collaboration with others simultaneously.

Fordeler:

The best aspect of Confluence that I have found is that it is really easy to use and very friendly. This software is very convenient for use by anyone, including the first time user of this kind of applications. I also like the potential of making and editing content that is shared and I also believe that communication as well as teamwork are enhanced.

Ulemper:

But the thing that I did not like most is that I sometimes get the feeling that the tool is rather limited in what it does allow me to change. I want more configuration possibilities, so that it would be possible to fit the software to the needs of my workshop.

Essential tool for Team Knowledge and Collaboration

Kommentarer: I’ve had a lot of experience with Confluence across different companies, and it’s honestly a solid tool for keeping everyone on the same page. We use it for everything—from creating knowledge base pages to updating new processes and sharing team-specific info. It’s where we keep our org charts, team updates, and pretty much any ‘what, why, and how’ documentation. It’s easy to organize things so anyone can jump in, find what they need, and get up to speed quickly. Overall, it’s been super useful for maintaining a central hub of info that keeps everyone connected and informed.

Fordeler:

Every company I’ve worked at has used Confluence—it’s been super handy for creating knowledge base pages, updating new processes, sharing team-specific info, and organizing org charts. It’s basically the go-to spot for capturing the ‘what, why, and how’ of everything so the team or company is always in the loop

Ulemper:

Nothing i could think off, its super easy to read and also being a editor i couldn't find any issues which is a big blocker.

Unlock Seamless Collaboration with Confluence

Fordeler:

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.

Ulemper:

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

Scalable and Enhanced Team collaboration tool

Kommentarer: I have been using confluence since last 6 years

Fordeler:

Confluence is a Scalable and Enhanced Team collaboration tool that centralizes documentation, project planning, team communication.

Ulemper:

Confluence is bit complex for new users as it has steep learning Curve and also tool has limited formatting options

A solid documentation tool

Kommentarer: Overall Confluence is a solid tool that get's the job done. It has all of the features you could want.

Fordeler:

It's industry standard and just works. Most people know how to use it already.

Ulemper:

It's easy for information to become unorganized and sometimes the search functionality does not perform well making it hard to find information.

Confluence is the best!

Kommentarer: I enjoy using it for our work environment. It seems to do the job well of documentation for ourselves and our peers to refer back to.

Fordeler:

I like how you can create a space large, or small enough, to fit the needs of your team and workspace for documentation.

Ulemper:

I feel as though confluence can get cluttered sometimes.

Confluence is a robust tool for world-class engineering/product teams to create

Kommentarer: Confluence is a critical tool for significant documentation from an engineering/product standpoint. I don't think it will be the only tool fast agile businesses will use for documentation but it is still best in class for engineering functions.

Fordeler:

Confluence is the most trusted documentation player in the game. We use Jira for our engineering task management so naturally, the seamless vertical integration between the two tools is excellent. Confluence has an excellent template library and perhaps most importantly, the performance is always reliable. We can't use tools like ClickUp due to bugs and performance issues for long significant PRDs. The collaboration on confluence is excellent and permissions around editing is also important.

Ulemper:

Confluence is quite clunky (much like Jira). The ability to edit isn't as easy as ClickUp or Notion and that can get frustrating when you're trying to make changes quickly.

Feature Rich Doc Management

Kommentarer: I use it in conjunction with Jira, and I tag my documentation both ways in order to connect the actual tasks in working on along with the documentation for the task.

Fordeler:

It is configurable and rich with features, from tables to visualization to storing various document types.

Ulemper:

It takes some training or being a superuser to know how to document something and make it visually appealing.

Would not recommend to use it in the SaaS version

Kommentarer: It is working most of the time, with several outages in the past months.
We were forced to migrate from the on-prem to the SaaS version. The on-prem version was very good, the SaaS software is a mess in terms of ensuring information security and has way worse usability.

Fordeler:

Concurrent editing is still possible in the SaaS version.

Ulemper:

Has advertisements for other products in the menu. You have no sufficient control over the 3rd party features the users can see and use. It's a nightmare to document its use according to GDPR rules.
