A Reliable Team Collaboration Tool.

What differentiates Confluence from other similar products?

What differentiates Confluence is that it makes it very easy for us to organize pages like a tree. I am able to create a page for each of my features and then place them under each other according to the project. In Notepad, this organization is not as clear and the users can easily lost track due to mismanagement.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite feature is the part where the templates acts super resourceful for us. I am also able to customize templates for my team that has everything pre-written, the goal, user story, acceptance criteria, etc. Whenever we have to start a new project, I copy this template and just fill in the new stuff. It has saved me tons of time from setting things up from scratch every time I have to get onto a new project. This feature has quadrupled my productivity and my team is happy because everyone works in the same pattern.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The most dislike thing about this product is that when a lot of people work at the same time in Confluence, the page automatically refreshes and my cursor flies away. I'm writing somewhere and suddenly everything disappears. Then I have to find that place again. It's a very annoying problem especially when I'm close to a deadline.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

My recommendation is to first migrate all your old Word documents to Confluence but not all in one week, start from three or four pages a day. Create few basic templates for your team otherwise everyone will write on their own which is gonna distort your whole working in the longer run.

Pros

  • Enables Productivity
  • Effective Service
  • Inspires Innovation
  • Saves Time
