Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Confluence from other similar products?

Confluence stands out because it integrates deeply with Jira and other Atlassian tools, making it perfect for technical and project teams. It provides a clean, structured way to organize documents at scale with page hierarchies, permissions, and version control. Confluence is also strong in enterprise security, collaboration features, and offers many plugins to customize workflows.

My favorite aspect of Confluence is how seamlessly it integrates with Jira, allowing documentation and project work to stay perfectly connected. This saves time, reduces confusion, and keeps teams aligned.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most about Confluence is that the interface can feel slow and complicated at times, making it harder to quickly find or edit information.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you're considering Confluence, make sure your team is ready to use its structure and integrate it with tools like Jira. It works best for organized, growing teams, so invest a little time in setting up spaces and permissions properly—then it becomes a very powerful documentation hub.
