What do you dislike most about this product?

Confluence is a great Platform but some more feature and improvement can make it more better and effective in market. Some of the are like, 1> Importing feature can be improved so that word, pdf and excel files can be imported without losing formatting. 2> Drag and drop feature for creating forms can be done. 3> There is no way to export the documents to cloud storage solutions. 4> Better support required for collaborative editing of pages.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I highly recommend Confluence to those who are a part of a fast-paced team and looking to collaborate. Just having the ability to get notifications about page updates, comments, and tags helps the team. Once Confluence is populated with all kinds of documentation, their search bar allows users to quickly and easily find any item they are looking for with just a keyword. Try before you buy. They have a free tier in cloud version so it's always best that you try it before you go for licensed version.
