it is easy to use and it has a good price, in all that it differs from many programs.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

When it comes to recording and wording requirements, Confluence is the best since it reduces the risk of information being misunderstood in a remote work environment. The one-on-one meetings with team members and the tracking of progress, roadblocks, comments and objectives are also made easier with its assistance.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There is currently nothing about Confluence that I find to be unfavorable.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Confluence is a great way for remote teams to work together on projects and helps increase team efficiency and encourages team participation.

What differentiates Confluence from other similar products?

Confluence is a perfect tool for Knowledge Management and Document Management, they are well integrated with JIRA on task management which allows documentation seamlessly.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Seamless integration with JIRA, faster document development.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The mobile version of Confluence is not that friendly, would hope to see that get improved over time.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are considering adopting Confluence for Knowledge Management, and have JIRA in place currently, this product will make your life a whole lot easier. Confluence has a rather short coming on its mobile version so if that is something you are heavily evaluating, please see if Mobile version is much needed.
