Confluence

Powerful collaboration and knowledge management software that allows teams to work together

Opmerkingen: Overall, Confluence is a robust and flexible solution for teams looking to improve collaboration and knowledge management. Its ease of use, flexibility, and powerful collaboration tools make it a great choice for teams of all sizes and industries.Confluence also offers powerful collaboration tools, such as commenting, notifications, and page restrictions. These tools allow teams to collaborate in real-time, provide feedback on each other's work, and ensure that sensitive information is protected.

Pluspunten:

One of the standout features of Confluence is its flexibility. It allows teams to create and organize their own pages, as well as use a wide range of pre-built templates for specific use cases such as project management, meeting notes, and product requirements. This means that teams can tailor the software to meet their unique needs, and easily share information across the organization.Another key feature of Confluence is its integration with other popular tools such as Jira and Trello. This makes it easy to connect and share information across different teams and workflows, and ensures that everyone has access to the information they need to get their work done.

Minpunten:

Learning curve: Confluence can have a steep learning curve for new users, particularly those who are not familiar with wiki-based software. This may require additional training and support for team members.Cost: Confluence can be expensive, particularly for larger teams or organizations. The cost can vary depending on the number of users and the specific features required.Customization limitations: While Confluence offers many customization options, I feel that they are limited in their ability to fully customize the software to meet their specific needs.

Great Tool for Content Organization and Management

Opmerkingen: We have been using Confluence as a main software for content management. We use it for all our project related documentation like high level business requirements, enhancement requests, technical specs, meeting notes, project roadmaps etc. It seamlessly integrates with JIRA, which makes it such a great tool to be used by AGILE teams. Overall, Confluence is a very robust and powerful tool and it provides a central place for all your documentation.

Pluspunten:

Confluence is a great tool for having all your documentation and knowledge in one place. You can create wiki pages for each topic and group these pages under 'Spaces'. Multiple team members can work on one page simultaneously. It captures a detailed audit trail on the changes made at a page level. You can have strong control on the content publishing by defining a robust review and approval process. It has a robust search functionality and it seamlessly integrates with JIRA, MS Teams and other third party tools.

Minpunten:

One major issue with Confluence is that when multiple people are working on one page simultaneously, then you need to refresh the page in order to see the changes made by others. Also, the access control can be complex and glitchy sometimes.I would love if the user interface for Confluence is improved.

Good product but a bit clunky

Opmerkingen: Good product but could do with some usability improvements.

Pluspunten:

The amount of space for content is exceptional. There are clear instructions on how to use the product. It really helped with the storage of our student guides.

Minpunten:

It can be clunky at times and doesn't always flow as well as could be expected. Not always the most user friendly.

Our knowledge base

Opmerkingen: We were having problems to share information, and some users were not getting the right information. Knowing that we have a tool for information sharing like Confluence, we create a plan to start documenting all our processes, and now they are available across the company.

Pluspunten:

It is very useful to share all our documentation and knowledge base. All the users are now able to get updated information, and can share any documentation with the team.

Minpunten:

It can become a bit slow sometimes, causing the pages to take longer to load and look for information.
