Confluence

Confluence just works

Pros:

Confluence has a number of key benefits chiefly the way that it seamlessly integrates with Jira and other Atlassian products. It's a must have add on if you use Jira. Especially as your organization grows. Version control and roles are great as well.

Cons:

If you don't use jira it's kinda of clunky. More modern systems like Notion have a better UI.

Confluence helps my company collaborate and share knowledge

Comments: My team is able to save, organize, and share papers in one convenient spot thanks to the superb document management tools that come standard in Confluence. Because of this, my team is now able to seamlessly integrate internal collaboration methods into our day-to-day operations by having instantaneous access to all relevant project documents and information.

Pros:

Excellent program for group work and information exchange. It comes with more than a hundred different layouts to choose from. Access controls are provided, and team members can easily connect with one another. It's an excellent resource for building and managing a database of how-to guides to be distributed to clients. It's also great because it works in tandem with other attlassian applications, such as JIRA.

Cons:

Unless one is familiar with the relevant duties, I find the administrative side to be a bit of a hassle. Limitations in personalization and usability in document format selection make it difficult to create documents in specific ways.

Very convenient links with Jira, but some annoying limitations

Pros:

Widely used tool for prod dev teams, as it's easy to connect Jira and Confluence

Cons:

Some annoying limitations, hard to copy / paste and use tables. Poor integration with some other tools like Miro or Whimsical.Very heavy to load, and anchors are too slow to load.

Excelent tool with good Admins and Users

Comments: I personally had a wonderful experience with Confluence, it was a easy one link way to add most resources required (Gantt charts , project plans, date/time for Program Management timelines and mixed together you get a easy to use tool that is great at its core but with heavy customization it becomes even more awesome).You can basically start from a white blank page and end up doing a project charter with 2 attached Gantt charts, with 3 Children pages and 7 Pie Charts.

Pros:

It is easily accessible and you have loads of feature to customize your knowledge(renging from Tables , custom built Boards and even Linking tickets makes it a very straight forward solution for knowledge capture) pages or project management files , tools are easy to integrate and work with (highly recommend a cooperation with Jira , as they work very well togather.)

Cons:

Administration part can be a pain from time to time , unless you know exactly what roles are correct , it can become a bit confusing .

A superior collaborative workspace

Comments: The platform is accessible to anyone and has an open interface, letting our company set up collaborative spaces where staff can collaborate productively on a wide range of projects. It's reliable, and it made it easy to increase our property holdings. It may not be necessary to invest time and resources into teaching employees how to use Confluence because it may be extremely user-friendly.

Pros:

Confluence's suite of team communication tools is crucial to any effort to increase output. It's a lot dependable and much cheaper than other options. It's essential equipment for anyone seeking total control over their team's overall performance.

Cons:

It's a steep learning curve for our less tech-savvy customers to become proficient at working on our websites. The fact that the support staff is exclusively fluent in English may also be an inconvenience for some consumers. Integration with Azure DevOps is a little bit of a challenge.
