I've started using Bright Pod since early September and it's been pretty cool. I like how the graphics and structure make it easy to identify things that have to be done this week and next week.

They have very helpful forums and walk you through every step. It is a nice way to track how multiple team members of my department are up do with out micromanaging.

Great for marketing teams, but lacks some integrations.

It's easy to use, provides good analytics and the customer service and openness to suggested improvements is fantastic.

This system is super easy to use, at this point I can add tasks with my eyes closed. I love the support we receive, always an answer almost instantly to any questions we have.

Of interest to consultants and freelancers, a great feature is the ability to track budgeted time, assign clients and attached team lead(s) to each pod.

As the owner of a small, but growing agency, Brightpod's price point and offerings are a great fit for my small business.

Everyone on the team picked up the software quickly and enjoyed the clean layout. It has made  organizing and collaborating much easier.

The scrolling on the pods can be a little annoying if it's a particularly full pod.

The best part is that it integrates with Google Drive and Dropbox making it quick and easy to transfer documents online.

Inability to move task lists into another pod so that all data, files, and comments go with it.

You have a full overview of everything that is going on and good tracking functionalities, great when you're dealing with different time zones and different clients.

I love that there is a collaboration tool like Brightpod that is so focused on marketing project details.

The main thing I don't like the fact that this software has no accompanying app.

If you hate project management systems, this is the one for you.

Easy to use, centralizes all of our projects, shows how much time is spent on each project, easy to track progress of projects.

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.
