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.

Quick and easy contract (service) purchase and install. Reasonable pricing cost.

They are committed to helping me until a resolution is reached.

The customer service is awesome. They will log onto my computer to show me how to do something if I am having issues figuring something out.

Some adding and plugins has issues and not working as expected, the middleware servers for the addons are not stable.

Decent features and functionality and easy to use IF you know how to code.

It's quite easy to upload content to Jive, and I find it useful for finding individuals in my organization.

Jive is a great tool for social collaboration. I love using it to communicate with other co-workers in the organization.

Then with the outlook plugin, you could have discussions directly from outlook and it had nice integration with word and excel.

I don't like having to manually dial in a number to enter a queue and to call again to leave the queue to set your availability. There should be a more automated way of doing this.

Basic functionality is acceptable. Weekly digest a good feature if it works.

As far as call quality goes, it has been great.

We were using Truly before and although the call quality was not as consistent, I preferred the interface. Much cleaner and minimal.

The Jive homepage is overly crowded , making Jive difficult to navigate. Personally,I see the Jive  user interface as un-intuitive.

We've always enjoyed using Jive at our office. Whenever we need any help, their customer service has been excellent.

Well laid out structure. Excellent Office integration for file control.

Have not had any issues with it. Pretty intuitive to use.

The Customer Service/Support team is pretty bad to put it lightly.

Multiple phone equipment options (purchased separately with Jive) for multiple office locations. Desktop equipment is excellent with perfect connectivity and sound quality.

Good pricing and nice that they now have a mobile version that works well - many other intranet software platforms do not have mobile capabilities.

Search wasn't useful, hard to find info in it. Interface is a little confusing and could be frustrating.

Great place to keep up to date info. Our department has a very organized space full of great resources that we can direct employees to.

Took a few days to fix a problem with my sign up, and needed to be passed to 2 other people to fix it.

My overall experience has been great. Everything works as expected and as it should.

People in my organization frequently complain that it's hard to find what they are looking for.

I used a Jive based community at a previous company. It was great and wonderful way to communicate and collaborate with colleagues in such a large company.

This product was a great product to have in our office. Everyone would use it and it would help us contact others better.

This system quickly becomes a mess without proper governance.

OK product let down by weak features & poor support.
