Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Liferay and others in Corporate Portals (Enterprise Information Portals)."The best feature is document management."
"The customization that Confluence offers is one of its most useful features. You can customise it based on the specific project you are working on. It also supports multiple languages."
"It is easy to use."
"Collaboration is most valuable. You can upload or create your documents on Confluence and share them with your team members. Your team members also can share documents."
"The templates are a valuable feature. You can make templates. There is a space inside where you can create pages. When you use the template, the page auto-generates text and images. You do not have to think about the structure of your page as well, which I think is a very good thing for a user. Because usually when you're in front of a blank page, it can be a bit dreadful to know where to start."
"What's most valuable to me in Atlassian Confluence is that it allows the concurrent development of documentation. I also like how you can add comments offline and implement changes directly on the document."
"Pricing is not a problem."
"The solution is very intuitive and provides excellent content management."
"Box is extremely stable, they have not been hacked or lost any data in the past seventeen years. I am very impressed with it."
"The solution is scalable."
"The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"Office Integration. The full integration into the Microsoft Office products is just perfect."
"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."
"The ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box."
"Simple file sharing and sync for internal and external customers."
"Confluence could incorporate stronger records management and automation features. The current management structure is too open, which becomes an issue."
"This is kind of by design, however, the lack of control in terms of editing the page to make it look the way you want it to look is an issue. It would be nice if there was more flexibility there."
"We have to use other applications that make Atlassian Confluence more customized for what you want. They should improve by adding the ability to make more customizations."
"Some elements of the user interface could be more user-friendly, including embedding diagrams."
"We would like there to be more advanced data manipulation features available in this solution, such as creating more complex charts, and a column freezing option."
"There could be an option to collaborate with other users while editing the documents."
"The scalability for larger companies could be improved."
"I have a couple of different pipelines that I work with. However, I'd like to see them displayed differently on the same dashboard. So, I would like to have a unified dashboard to view the different pipelines."
"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
"The search features and role permissions are not very user friendly. It only searches the first few pages of a document, which is quite a problem."
"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."
"In future releases, there could be encryption, to have better security."
"Better integration with other solutions is needed."
"I haven't really come across a case where we're not able to use it for what it is, so I don't really have anything holding us up or any customers holding us up at this point that I know of. There are always some limitations, but as a technologist, I just live with them, and there is always room for improvement, but I don't have anything quantifiable."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
