Confluence great tool for knowledge management

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Confluence from other similar products?

It has a unique dashboard which can help better build and customized document sharing, collaboration, and editing. Other competing products like sharepoint and GitBook though provide dashboards but lack similar functionality. Customization of dashboard is easy and can be done by the IT department in the organization. No specialized vendor is needed to do such a service

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The integration with other collaboration and repository tools is quite easy. It is doable and makes document sharing quite easy. The other aspect is communication tools to communicate with other team members on customization of documents. The tool is quite effective for rights management, and it is workable to build better documentation for managing copyright for the property.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Navigation is a big issue in this product, it takes a lot to train a new user on how to navigate through this software. The user interface requires an upgrade. Also, version updates are not frequent.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The product is efficient in document sharing and can work well for large organizations with high needs of document sharing and editing.
