Great client-based repository and devs ops

What differentiates Confluence from other similar products?

The organization is able to make the change from using Google Docs and a chaotic system of folders and documents to one with neat departmental spaces, categories, subcategories, etc.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I appreciate having a clean, well-structured area to record the internal know-how of a company (such as procedures, tools, product knowledge, etc.). Building a network of pages that can be easily linked between and to Jira tickets is a smart idea.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some formatting requirements can be a pain when you're writing and attempting to get the text just so, or you may be able to achieve it but it'll take you a while to figure out how. To be fair, the inserts don't always have what I'm looking for, but I do agree that there's a great variety.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

We no longer have to worry about employees leaving with their training and system expertise because to Confluence. We have compiled some resources for new hires and people assuming this position.
