Confluence

What differentiates Confluence from other similar products?

My experience with Confluence has been really good and I think that when it comes to finding a tool for all your projects, this is the way to go, it’s great for organizing your information and sharing things with your teammates in an instant, and when it comes to the integration of it with other Atlassian products, it becomes a powerful tool that doesn’t compare to any other in terms of data transfer and synchronization. The use of Confluence in our business has also greatly improved our workflow since it has a home page and a company hub where we can see all relevant news.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite thing about Confluence is the fact that the interface has everything my team and I need for streamlining our project management. Features that are included like the whiteboards really help when it comes to collaborating and creating new ideas for next projects, and it’s a good ally when we need to extract data from other tools because the integration is easy and we can continue to generate new ideas quickly. This tool allows us to create as many projects as we want, which is one of my favorite aspects too, because we are never worried about running out of tools to work on what we need to do.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I don’t like that, at the beginning, the platform seems too overwhelming, and as a new user, it was really difficult to find myself using it daily because I didn’t understand or couldn’t locate a lot of the key features that are used for project management. There are a lot of things happening in the same place, as well as too many customization features, that you can get lost in it. I also don’t like that sometimes the program slows down all of a sudden and working on it becomes difficult too, because it’ll take longer amounts of time to load the necessary information.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

My recommendation for people looking to use this product is to really deep dive into the documentation and be patient when trying to learn every feature, it can take a lot of time to really see results in your usage of the application but I would consider it totally worth it for the amount of benefits that it gives you. I would also recommend it to businesses who work as teams and really need a space that can act as a centralized database..
