"I love the reports and the Confluence board."
"The most valuable feature of Atlassian Confluence it's very easy to use and there are different options."
"The best feature is the automatic tagging of information in documents. The automatic algorithm highlights irrelevant information that conflict with the actual documents."
"It is just the fact that it is a one-stop shop for all project documentation. It is compared to storing things in files and directories and stuff like that. It provides the overall usability and accessibility of many projects and documents in one area."
"Atlassian Confluence is flexible and allows adding different types of context on the page and connecting a hypertext, like a web page, without a source."
"This solution allowed us to easily input details beyond just text, such as creating basic data charts to monitor team performance."
"The sharing of information and simple formatting are valuable features. That is, there are no templates, and everything uses one format. This means that people don't need to worry about formatting."
"I never have had any problems with any kind of situation where I couldn't get my documents. It is very, very reliable and very consistent."
"Microsoft 365 Business is stable."
"It works as expected."
"The integration between the applications is the most valuable. I can share things using my phone, computer, and OneDrive. It is very stable and fast. It is also user-friendly and scalable."
"Cost-saving, easy and intuitive"
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"Microsoft Business 365 is quite stable."
"Microsoft Teams is the feature that I am currently leveraging for meetings, conferencing, and search-based functionalities. We've been able to extend some applications to Microsoft Teams."
"The cost of the solution is too high."
"The standard table capability is substandard and virtually unusable."
"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."
"There is no concept of peer review or a draft mode - whatever you write is live."
"It would be good if they can continue working towards making documentation and editing as quick and easy as possible. It has got a lot of capability, but I don't know how to use it. I don't find some of the things that intuitive. Sometimes, it doesn't seem obvious to me how to use it, but it is like learning any new tool. You actually need to get trained on the tool to get maximum out of it."
"Confluence cannot replace Microsoft Word at the moment, so even though it can be used as a document management system, it is not meant for document creation, which adds a lot of limitations to it."
"Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
"The flexibility and simplicity of this solution could be improved. We would also like the ability to add plugins."
"We would like to see the solution use more artificial intelligence bots in future releases."
"Their support should be improved in terms of faster response and better resolution."
"The solution is overall stable. However, while using Teams there can be some performance issues during meetings."
"It should be more affordable."
"The price for the license is always expensive."
"Their technical support could be faster. The admin portal, report generation, and other things could also be much simpler. We can't do columns adjustment at this time. The desktop app of Teams had lots of issues recently. The web version worked fine. We had to do a lot of things in terms of infrastructure and networking. It could have been better. It is quite new, so we got to bear and go with that, and then we'll see."
"As an example, there isn't a clean transfer to a Google Doc outside of hosting it as a .docx file."
"It could be more user-friendly."
