Atlassian Confluence Review: Feature packed, Promotoes collaboration

Rating: 10 out of 10
March 03, 2025
  • Its integration with Jira for tracking development and the bugs and work linked to detailed Confluence documentation.
  • We use it extensively for writing Software Product Requirement Documents, feature specs, architecture designs, and retrospectives.
  • Our company follows compliance very seriously, so it helps in streamlining all documentation for ISO27001/27017 compliance and security-related information.
  • Its integration with various tools allows us to create flow diagrams which are often required to make client and customer understand the overall flow of interactions across various modules of the design architecture
Cons
  • Search function can be better like how google search engine delivers the most relevant content first
  • Add Excel-like formulas, sorting, and filtering directly in Confluence tables.
  • Auto archiving of old stale pages should be there as a function to free up of space
  • Things can be hidden from administrator where members can create private pages

Great knowledge base tool

  • Easy to use interface to structure pages.
  • Access management can be very tailored.
  • Integration of external links/documents.
Cons
  • You need to watch over the structure of the content yourself. if not you can get information added anywhere so nobody can find it.
  • Top search field is hard to set to only search a section of pages.
  • You really need to think your structure through before starting. a guide when setting up at the start could help in that perspective.

Atlassian Confluence - Excellent tool for collaboration

  • Easy to create documents for example - Project requirements , test cases
  • Easy to manage all project documents including team Rosters, design docs etc
  • Easy to share project team links with team
  • Easy to create Architectural diagrams
  • Easy to create work flows, algorithms
Cons
  • Wish we can easily manage formatting( fonts)
  • Limit on size of the docs/recording that we can save
  • Wish the administration is easy -not say easy to give Edit/add access to others

Seamless page creation tool for notes, to-dos, processes, and recommendations.

  • Confluence pages are easy to create and have streamlined functionality that is well beyond what a typical Microsoft Word or Google Doc offers.
  • Confluence helps our team stay organized with spaces for clients and parent pages, which also act as folders and pages that are easy to find through search.
  • Tying pages to action items is charming, as key team members are alerted when they have specific to-dos from a client meeting, whether or not they were involved. They can go straight to the notes document for additional context or a reminder.
Cons
  • I think collaboration could be a little bit better. It's not clear when someone else may be editing the same document as you.
  • Additional formatting options would be good to have, such as fonts, line spacing, font weight, or being able to copy formatting like the format painter tool in Word.

Organization, project planning, and documentation are all possible with Confluence

  • Connection with Jira
  • Ease of use
  • Ability to communicate with others in-product
Cons
  • Whiteboards are still a little janky to use, hard to switch between the cursor and the hand, etc.
  • When editing a page in Atlassian Confluence with tickets from Jira, it does not show the amount of story points per ticket on hover. You have to publish the page/go out of editing mode to see the # of story points which has been a pain point during sprint planning
  • It would be great to create custom templates for pages by user so we can add those templates to pages when we want to use them, ie for a Sprint Plan
