Confluence brings dynamism to knowledge sharing.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Confluence from other similar products?

Confluence's ability to integrate with other tools utilized in my office, including project management tools has been an exciting part of my experience with it and this I believe is a major differentiation point between Confluence and similar knowledge sharing tools, that I have experience using. As a result of this, I and my team conveniently can move from knowledge sharing to action by just converting notes from Confluence into tasks or issues on a standard project management platform.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Confluence's digital whiteboard feature is impressive. It brings flexibility into my teams knowledge sharing activity , by making it convenient to collaborate, draw, brainstorm and visualize freely.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The page/document grouping feature needs improvement. It took me a series of experimentations before I was able to perfect how to group similar documents and pages together.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Dynamic knowledge management is a critical aspect of operations in professional teams and departments. Reason why I recommend Confluence.
