Confluence

What differentiates Confluence from other similar products?

Confluence differentiates itself from the rest of the products similar to it by providing unique features like Presentation mode for its templates (which themselves are sourced from best-in-class Product firms).

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Confluence hosts a whole lot of great features, such as Spaces, Access management, document upload, and on-platform editing among others. But. the feature I like the most is the Templates. Our Product team at ZS uses readily available templates of Creative Brief, Product Requirements, and Product Roadmap for goal planning, requirement gathering & requirement documentation, and roadmap planning respectively. The best thing is we replicate these templates as-is for all the products in our product portfolio and this helps maintain the standardization of the documents.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There is nothing that I dislike about Confluence. The only thing which I would suggest is that Confluence pages are cluttered with information, providing too many things for the user to explore on the first try, which becomes intimidating. Maybe the Overview page of a Space could be simplified further and a help guide link could be provided to understand the host of features provided in detail.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend every team working on building Products use Confluence for team management and knowledge sharing. It has all the things that a team needs - starting from something as simple as a place to capture meeting notes to something as important as a template to prepare a detailed roadmap of the product involving goals and budget constraints among others. It will help increase transparency and increase team efficiency by at least 50%.

What differentiates Confluence from other similar products?

My company has found that using Atlassian Confluence to collaborate has helped us improve communication across departments and increase our level of autonomy as a whole. It has been incredibly helpful for my coworkers and me to be able to collaborate on sales, marketing, product, and support documents from our home offices in different parts of the country. We've been able to get more done in less time and better serve our clients thanks to this helpful tool.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Atlassian Confluence is ideal for autonomous, cross-functional teams that need fast access to a large body of information that may not be housed in a single department. This tool may not be as beneficial if your firm is run in silos, with strict guidelines around who owns what.

What do you dislike most about this product?

When several people are contributing to the same shared team area, it's simple for things to get chaotic if proper precautions aren't taken. It's not always possible to get perfectly aligned page formatting. For instance, consider the use of indentation and line space.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

All of our Product Owner and Product Management documentation is stored on Atlassian Confluence. To top it all off, this is where all of our Product-related teamwork and study gets done. However, the entire company relies on it as a resource, not just the Product team. The lack of a standardized place to store reports, meeting minutes, and study results was addressed.
