Pros

“I've had a generally positive experience with Confluence, using it regularly to collaborate with my team and document project progress. While it's user-friendly and has a robust feature set, I occasionally encounter minor glitches and wish for more customization options to suit our specific workflow needs.”
IW

Isla W.

Mid-level Operations Manager

“Additionally, the auto-title feature works beautifully—it scans the content of the SOP and generates a highly accurate, relevant title that matches the subject perfectly.”
SM

SAJJAD M.

Logistics Manager

“Useful for documenting HR procedures, easy organization of internal information, collaborative editing, practical knowledge base, helps me centralize policies and administrative documents, useful for sharing information with colleagues.”
LM

Lilyana M.

Planning and Sustainability Professional

Pros

“As someone who manages knowledge systems at scale I also found the readership analytics really helpful and - unlike something like Google Analytics which can be utterly bamboozling - provided exactly what I need, and not more that I'm unlikely to leverage.”
LM

Lucy M.

Knowledge Manager

“In order to get the look/feel that we require (standardized header/footer, and page numbering), I need to present my articles in iFrames.”
SP

“Make your knowledge ecosystem reflect your company, rather than simply house your content!”

Knowledge Manager

Cons

“You can export and convert files, but the Word or PDF versions don't always keep the original layout intact, which is a bit frustrating. Plus, some of the more useful features are locked behind pricier plans or require extra apps, so the value for money starts to feel a little thin.”
LH

Leslie H.

Founder

“At times, it also feels like product changes move faster than the support documentation, which can make it harder to find up-to-date guidance when trying to resolve an issue or understand a new feature.”
TD

Tom D.

Support Executive

“Without clear naming rules and a bit of regular tidying up, spaces quickly turn into a mess of duplicate pages and outdated info. And search doesn't always bring up what you actually need first.”
LH

Leslie H.

Founder

Cons

“Collaboration for more than one user on a document is very tricky.”
