About Confluence
Confluence is a shared workspace to create and manage all your work. Unlike document and file-sharing tools, Confluence is open and collaborative, helping your team and your company do their best work together. From technical teams and project management, to marketing, HR, and finance - the more people in an organization that use it, the more value teams get from it.
Confluence makes it easy to organize and find the information you need. Group related pages together in a dedicated space for your work, your team, or cross-functional projects. Depending on permissions, a space in Confluence can be made accessible to just you or the entire company. Page trees, which create a hierarchical list of pages within a space, highlight topics on parent pages and help keep work tidy.
Need to find something? Do a quick search to find any page ever created. You can even locate a comment someone posted to a page. Even after someone has left your company, you can still search for work they did, so knowledge is never lost.
Just about every type of project imaginable has started as a simple page in Confluence, from planning an office party to NASA's mission to Mars. Whether you need to capture meeting notes, document product requirements, or kick-off a design review, Confluence is a flexible platform for all your team's work.
Adapt Confluence to your specific work style to create a familiar place for your team to connect. Confluence's open workspace helps teams collaboratively create, review, revise, and finalize plans so work keeps moving forward.
No surprise that Confluence works seamlessly with Atlassian tools. Its pages provide a great backdrop for Jira Software tickets or Trello cards and boards. Inserting Jira tickets on your Confluence pages is as simple as copy/past, or create new tickets directly from your page by right-clicking on highlighted text. If you work in Trello, you can make updates directly to your cards right from Confluence pages.
In addition to seamless Atlassian integrations, there are hundreds of apps available for Confluence in the Atlassian Marketplace. Whether you want to add spreadsheets to your page, insert diagrams, showcase design prototypes or integrate with other popular apps like Google Drive or Salesforce, Marketplace apps make it easy to add more power to your pages to do your best work.

We document everything in Confluence. I run a digital marketing team of around 20 people and have a total of 40 users in the tool (a few other teams besides mine use it). It's been a fantastic tool to get everyone on the same page and keep track of our how-tos, meeting notes, plans, goals, features/specs, etc.
Pros
Real-time simultaneous editing
Ease of finding and organizing what I've written
Constantly adding new features
Integration with Jira and Trello is great, but also works as lightweight project management by itself
Cons
Honestly, they've fixed my biggest cons, like storage space (now you can buy a bigger plan) and they keep adding more things.
I think my colleagues would say there's still a learning curve, which is understandable, and I think Confluence has been changing the interface with more tips and features for new users (which is sometimes confusing for long-time users like me, LOL)
One big con is still the limited integration with MS Office. Confluence fully replaces the need for Word in most cases, so that's not a big deal, but I wish the Excel integration and/or the table functionality was better.
Also, printing is pretty tough when you have tables.

Confluence is quite inexpensive for what you get and it's super powerful. I really love the quick, accurate search results. The macro functionality and new "Slack" style slash commands are really cool. The notification system is very nice, especially the @mentions.

Aids in the development of specialized work areas, wherein employees may carry out their duties in a relaxed and conducive setting. Integrating with other Atlassian products, as well as third-party apps, makes the platform more robust. It's easy to implement, fits any budget, and can help any business expand its operations.
Pros
Atlassian Confluence is a platform for teamwork and information exchange that has helped our company greatly improve its operations. The platform is accessible to all users and features a straightforward interface, enabling our company to set up shared workspaces where employees can efficiently complete a wide range of assignments. It's steady, and it's facilitated the simple expansion of our holdings.
Cons
There was a difficult learning curve for some of our less tech-savvy consumers to become proficient on the site. Some users may find it inconvenient that customer service is only offered in English.

Confluence is an extremely flexible tool that can serve multiple purposes, such as document creation, project collaboration, knowledge management, and internal wiki creation. It provides a plethora of templates and macros that can streamline and automate various tasks. Its collaboration features are abundant, including real-time co-authoring of documents and the ability to tag individuals in comments.Additionally, Confluence provides robust access control and permission settings to guarantee that only authorized individuals can access specific information.
Pros
It's incredibly simple to work collaboratively and provide feedback on written documents using this platform. Its "wiki on steroids" approach is particularly effective for overcoming writer's block, allowing users to start writing without hesitation and continuously improve their work.In addition, the tool's seamless integration of pages and information, as well as its ability to connect with Jira and extract relevant data, are noteworthy.
Cons
Many essential features are only accessible through paid plugins, which is disappointing. For instance, the team calendar should be a standard feature available to all users.Furthermore, the administrative features are often difficult to use and unclear, particularly for larger organizations that require a greater degree of granularity.The pricing model for the plugins is also problematic. For example, users are required to purchase a license for each person on the platform, even if only a small number of individuals will use the plugin.

Cannot Find what you Looking for by Searching

I wish the search worked, otherwise it’d be a great program.

Pros
I like the task tracking. You can easily see from a big picture where projects are at in terms of progress.
Cons
The search feature. It is extremely difficult to find what you want. You have to watch or favorite a page to ever find it again.
