Confluence – Bewertungsseite 2

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Confluence

easier to use that other options available are the industry standard as well as coming with Jira

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Confluence makes it easy to organize, share, and find information. It’s a perfect place for our company projects knowledge base.

Nachteile

It can feel overwhelming at times, especially with too many pages or unclear organization. Also, some features can be tricky to use without proper training.

Vorteile

Confluence has been a go to tool for managing the source of truth for all our projects. Encourages collaboration and brings the team together for working towards one source of truth.

Nachteile

Searchability (omg, its complicated) and overhead in reducing the duplicate information.
I wish there is a smart editor that stops the users from entering duplicate information as they are typing the info. Go AI

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

Confluence makes it easy to create, share and manage content in a centralized space. It has user-friendly interface that makes navigating easy. This platform is ideal for large-scale knowledge management. I love it's real time collaborations.

Nachteile

I don't have any problems with Confluence.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

It is very customizable and has many integrations, but the basics of word processing are very quick and easy to use right away. Confluence is evidently on par with its competitors from the moment you start using it, and only gets more impressive the deeper you learn about it.

Nachteile

The 3rd party integrations are not always well-vetted. It would be nice to have the more popular ones built-in and supported as core features which can be enabled. It's also frustrating to have several markdown languages active within Atlassian products in different areas.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Confluence is an awesome tool that helped me a lot at my workplace with all those documentations written by my colleagues and the guys before me. One thing i liked the most was its version control meaning it track changes and maintain a history of edits. It also informs you about the changes made to any documents .It keeps all the documents in one place. It is so much easier to access documents via Search bar.

Nachteile

While basic features are user-friendly, using advanced functions like macros or integrations can require trainings. Also searching can be difficult sometimes if the documents were not organized (specially in large workplace).

Vorteile

Confluence is a very robust and powerful tool that makes knowledge sharing and documentation easy

Nachteile

Once you use any external ad-ons, the pricing increases

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

I haven't had any problems with Confluence.

Vorteile

The interface is not half bad in general.

Nachteile

The editing tools are horrendous compared to other alternatives. Even markdown is better nowadays.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

Proper structure,
Main page and child pages structure is very good
Inbuilt search option is very helpful

Nachteile

nothing as of now, it is really very helpful in terms of secure data exchange across teams and team members

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

Confluence is fine and doesn't have any issues.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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".

Vorteile

Confluence is a morden workspace that allows interactive projects collaborations. It is to get information with Confluence.

Nachteile

The learning curve is a hard to understand but once you get to understand it everything else gets to be easy.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

The collaborative document edition feature is really awesome! Intuitive, secure, fluid,... It's exactly what you can expect from such a feature. In particular, the merge function is really well done: only in rate cases the tool will ask you to decide which version to keep. In all other cases the tool make it transparently without mistake. Brilliant!

Nachteile

There is a native connection with Jira, from the same company (Atlassian) but I find it very limited. I would expect more enhanced reporting or chart features, beyond the current limited options. Jira is powerful but very few of its data are available in Confluence.
Also, one particular thing annoys me: there are very few options to change the text format. For example it's not possible to change the size of the text in "body".

Vorteile

The best hub and planner product out there and it is very easy to use

Nachteile

Sometimes the output of the search is not exactly what you are looking for

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

It has well implemented page tree which makes it easy to find required content documentation.It makes it easy to create and manage documentation for knowledge base collaboration.It has good import/export capabilities and also browser extension works really well.

Nachteile

Two issues I've encountered with Confluence are the limitations on customization,which prevents me from making any adjustments and the restricted offline access.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Slack

Warum Confluence gewählt wurde

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

Gründe für den Wechsel zu 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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

Facilite grandement le travail de collaboration
Centralisation de la documentation
Utilisable avec Jira directement

Nachteile

Je ne vois aucune grosse problematique actuellement

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

Confluence is great because it brings everyone’s ideas and information into one organized space. I like how it feels like a virtual team hub where you can brainstorm, track projects, and access resources easily. Plus, it's simple to navigate and keeps things from getting lost in endless email chains!

Nachteile

The search function could definitely be more intuitive to help navigate large workspaces.

Vorteile

Confluence is our go-to content management and knowledge based tool. The ability to create spaces by team or departments is really useful and my favorite feature is the ability to give permission by page instead of just by space. We have a main team focused on maintaining our knowledge base, but it's helpful that we can also assign unique individuals who are subject matter experts to also help that team update the content.

Nachteile

At times it feels like Confluence may be a bit too robust. It's a great content management system, but can sometimes over complicate a search for a particular page. It can take some time to locate the page you are looking because so many results pop up. You have to weed through the results to find the one you're seeking.

Vorteile

It looks good, has great integration options with other tools, and it's really easy to collaborate with other people.

Nachteile

The navigation can be a little confusing, I'm not always able to easily find the pages I'm looking for.

Vorteile

Confluence has so much great information for project managers right at their fingertips. It helps plan and coordinate your schedule. It also has AI integrated into it which can be so helpful when you are at a crossroads. Templates are simple yet effective.

Nachteile

The only thing I will say is that since this software is not as big as other major websites and information sources, it can have a lack of information, as well as having outdated sites and sources. However, this is not true of all information available.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Confluence is one of the best widely used content management web application,which help corporates and enterprise team to manage and maintain lots of internal and external content.many features like its own space,personalized feeds and community hub mske it more adorable to use.

Nachteile

Nothing as such,its adding its new features and upgrade user experience based on feedback.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

Confluence is a little bit to navigate and time consuming

Vorteile

Perfect for documentation, with various supporting features around that.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

Confluence excels in collaboration and knowledge management among teams in the organization. It acts as a document center where answers to most respective questions or issues are answered by peers saving tons of time.

Documentation of a specific process allows new joiners to quickly understand the by just looking into the documentation instead of assigning a resource to help them understand the whole process. It is a great platform for productivity.

Nachteile

Editing the documents can be made just like Microsoft Word and duplicating all its features could be great because almost all use Word to edit documents.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Its ease of use and low barriers of entry

Nachteile

Confluence is just a little different in how it accomplish a task, when compared to SharePoint, which means that a user well versed in SharePoint may struggle a little more than a newbie, just because they need to unlearn a few processes, which often makes those long term SharePoint users a little disenchanted by the product, but once they get over the learning curve, user acceptance on the product is very high.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

I feel as though confluence can get cluttered sometimes.
