Cost is a strong advantage it has other competitor Mircosoft.

The plugin is handy and are what makes it really rich although the cost of the plugins can start to add up if they are used they are good value.

Awesome document syncing for online collaboration. Superb permission management for critical security of confidential data.

The product works, and is great for startup companies that don't want to invest in something more powerful.

Confluence is not the most intuitive program and learning to properly navigate it took a while. I also dislike that it is possible for one corrupted page to crash a whole file.

Do almost anything with the documentation by just using the internet browser is really awesome. The integration with jira is pretty good.

Customer service is always available and is super helpful.

I dislike that Confluence gets a little confusing with multiple links for the same page (a long link and a short link), but it is hard to differentiate.

You also need to make sure that obsolete information is cleaned or marked obsolete, otherwise documentation rot can make information difficult to find.

Great editor tools and easy to make my pages look content rich and informative. Good search and folder structure is great for organizing content.

Great product for sharing software creation and communications. I really enjoyed the workflow and ability to communicate with several developers.

Confluence syntax is confusing for new users, its preview function is not working well when having micro or embed script.

I integrate it with jira to show any kind of  project progress. The version control feature on confluence is excellent and the fact that multiple people can edit a page at the same time is awesome.

It happened to our team and it made using Confluence unpleasant and annoying.

Like most about it easy way to document the pages. And best way to store the important document required for business purpose.

I think that Confluene is very useful and worth the time and investment.

The one thing i dislike about it is when there are topics to click on and it jumps to that supposed topic but there's no information there. I'd guess the editor was not able to remove that section.

It features a exuberant number of plugins to construct a document , so many are advances and have to learn. One important plugin that i use is the Architecture diagram building editor.

Customer support is very easily accessible and quick resolution. The deplyomnet is also easy with option of cloud server and in-house server deployemnt.

Which is great for customer support and of course technical documentation. Did I mention that you can create as many different wikis as you like.

Confuence is very easy to use and makes documentation fun and collaboration with others a breeze. It helps us organize and document our work, from meeting notes to operational documentation.

Confluence cloud allows to make the documentation space more scalable. The solution is so popular it can be integrated with most of the solutions.

I also love the version control as that becomes increasingly important as the number of contributors or complexity of the page goes up.

I have had an overall good experience with Confluence and it is easy to create and share documents. If you are using JIRA already I would recommend this.

I absolutely love this site. I love brainstorming sites, but this one is so different.

The reporting is excellent, especially a one click full suite report in Excel and the Wordle is far more useful than it might first appear, I've been able to get a high level overview in one chart.

Allows me to assign things to deadlines which is great for me. I like how I can copy cards over to other storms, makes organization super easy.

The fact that there is a limited color pallet for the cards.

The ease with which I can keep track of my tasks.

Feels quite limited even within its limited scope.

Plus the templates are excellent for using a number of different methodologies.

The customer service is amazing, we find a bug and it 's fixed the next day.

The education pricing was a bit confusing. They say if you are using it for administrative work between faculty you have to use their regular plans instead of the education plan.

So far, there's nothing I can say that I don't like about it.

It's just a genuinely useful piece of organisational software. I can organise not only my personal life but also management and work tasks with ease.

For education usage it is great for the following. Use as a calendar for assignment due dates.

Stormboard is very easy to use, and yet there are layers of capability that can be unfolded as needed. Stormboard has THE BEST reporting mechanisms of any virtual whiteboard/brainstorming tool.

There are still a few bugs, and the pricing is a little strange. Inability to remove users is a potential security risk.

There are great templates to assist you if you need additional help. This is a great whiteboard for meetings workshops, seminars and conferences.

The interface is clean and well laid out and it's easy to use - features are fairly easily apparent.

There is occasionally some lagging when large groups collaborate but overall there are no major issues.

Very intuitive platform which is essential when you need to onboard new users. Nice export functions even with the basic subscription.

My experience was really good, I really like the differents tools and functions that we have with this software.

It keeps my kids engaged with family fun time planning.

The software is VERy user friendly and comes with a 2-5 min learning curve.

Had some early issues with performance due to the large size of workspaces being used. Dark fonts on dark note colors make no sense - very difficult to read.

The team picked up how to navigate/use with very basic training. It has been a really positive change for us, also saving alot more paper.

I also like the blank template. I am not sure about customer service, because I have never needed it, as I said, it is so easy to use.

Has a fairly limited scope in how it allows ideas to be explored, and even within that scope doesn't offer a lot of options or functions.

Hard to customize at lower subscription levels. M an individual user, paying for it myself.

There have been very little in terms of things to complain about.

This isn't your father's whiteboarding tool.

Stormboard’s approach is different from competing e- collaboration spaces and traditional whiteboards, which are often tailored to creative/design audiences, not operationally focused executives.

Stormboard is a data-first collaboration workflow platform which succeeds at creating new structured and actionable data from normal human collaboration, whether in-person or across distance.

Beyond phones, remote meetings and messaging, the primarily visual focus of the platform (via leading-edge whiteboard capabilities) is to empower data-driven companies to turn their unstructured human interactions into information-rich collaborative workspaces; enabling data-driven decisions and efficient processes while often eliminating the need for meetings entirely.

Human-generated data also survives sessions along with the original context which can be edited or added to in the future.
