About Confluence
Confluence is a shared workspace to create and manage all your work. Unlike document and file-sharing tools, Confluence is open and collaborative, helping your team and your company do their best work together. From technical teams and project management, to marketing, HR, and finance - the more people in an organization that use it, the more value teams get from it.
Confluence makes it easy to organize and find the information you need. Group related pages together in a dedicated space for your work, your team, or cross-functional projects. Depending on permissions, a space in Confluence can be made accessible to just you or the entire company. Page trees, which create a hierarchical list of pages within a space, highlight topics on parent pages and help keep work tidy.
Need to find something? Do a quick search to find any page ever created. You can even locate a comment someone posted to a page. Even after someone has left your company, you can still search for work they did, so knowledge is never lost.
Just about every type of project imaginable has started as a simple page in Confluence, from planning an office party to NASA's mission to Mars. Whether you need to capture meeting notes, document product requirements, or kick-off a design review, Confluence is a flexible platform for all your team's work.
Adapt Confluence to your specific work style to create a familiar place for your team to connect. Confluence's open workspace helps teams collaboratively create, review, revise, and finalize plans so work keeps moving forward.
No surprise that Confluence works seamlessly with Atlassian tools. Its pages provide a great backdrop for Jira Software tickets or Trello cards and boards. Inserting Jira tickets on your Confluence pages is as simple as copy/past, or create new tickets directly from your page by right-clicking on highlighted text. If you work in Trello, you can make updates directly to your cards right from Confluence pages.
In addition to seamless Atlassian integrations, there are hundreds of apps available for Confluence in the Atlassian Marketplace. Whether you want to add spreadsheets to your page, insert diagrams, showcase design prototypes or integrate with other popular apps like Google Drive or Salesforce, Marketplace apps make it easy to add more power to your pages to do your best work.

We were having problems to share information, and some users were not getting the right information. Knowing that we have a tool for information sharing like Confluence, we create a plan to start documenting all our processes, and now they are available across the company.
Pros
It is very useful to share all our documentation and knowledge base. All the users are now able to get updated information, and can share any documentation with the team.
Cons
It can become a bit slow sometimes, causing the pages to take longer to load and look for information.

Beyond the initial getting use to period, this is a easy, robust and professional tool and must for all IT teams. With integration to other agile processes and quick documentation this makes it a MUST have tool.
Pros
Excellent interface, regular updates and keeping up with industry changes. Considering wide spread use of the software, often it reduces training time for new starters
Cons
It will be lovely to see some of form of article review date (or expiry date) and with that some automation to notify original publisher to review it.
Reasons for Switching to Confluence
Initially, for it's integration with JIRA but soon realised it's more than just a tag along software and has it's own benefits.- Industry: Financial Services Software

Promising software overall, yet still with lots of flaws

Okay overall, but not yet great.
Okay overall, but not yet great.
Pros
The tree on the left-side menu and also the slash to go directly to commands.
Cons
Editing experience is horrible, especially when I paste lots of pictures. That makes the page load much slower. Also, moving the pages around to a different parent page is so prone to making mistakes. However, the option to undo is not convenient (the pop-up just appears for a few seconds only). There's no Undo & Redo for the list of actions (not just with editing a single page, but all actions that user performs in their space). Also, sometimes the page really lags (not sure if it's because of cache issues).

Confluence provides a great user experience because of the functionalities and macros feature it provided. Documentation for users and integration with other applications like Jira makes it much more user friendly and easy to use.
Pros
Confluence is a great tool for the knowledge management and all document creation. Various macros opportunities which provided by confluence is really a great support in managing the documents and integrate other applications data over confluence.
Cons
Sometimes we do notice issues with Confluence notification screens and many a times it creates issues for us. It would be great if Atlassian improves this feature.

A strong collaborative tool for teams
Reviewed on 08/11/2022
Pros
Confluence makes creating and editing pages easy. It has a great range of features, and formatting pages to suit business needs is straight forward to do. The ability to organise these spaces is generally good as well. The ability to collaborate in real time on pages is a great feature for remote teams
Cons
Some of the load times on pages are slow, but once open performance is excellent. Organising pages across spaces is not always straight forward
