I dislike most about Confluence is that it can be a bit slow and unresponsive at times. This can be frustrating, especially when you're trying to collaborate with a team on a project. Additionally, the search engine can be a bit clunky, and it can be difficult to find the information you're looking for.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Overall, I think Confluence is a great tool for businesses of all sizes. However, there are a few things to keep in mind before you decide to use it. If you are considering using Confluence, I would recommend trying out the free trial, considering the pricing, getting training, and using the community.
