Confluence Erfahrungen

Sehr guter Editor mit vielen Möglichkeiten, sogar eigene Makros bzw. dynamische Inhalte sind möglich. Zudem macht das Plugin System die Plattform Confluence dynamisch seinen Anforderungen entsprechend erweiterbar.

Das Pricing. Wer mit den Basisfunktionen nicht auskommt, muss häufig für Plugins nochmal in die Tasche greifen. Egal ob self hosted oder Cloud.

Sehr einfache Navigation, zum Wissensaustausch perfekt, kann intern gehostet werden

Es ist etwas überladen an Funktionen. Zum Filesharing gibt es meiner Meinung nach bessere Tools und Confluence sollte aufpassen, dass sie nicht versuchen alle Features zu implementieren und so ihre Software zu überladen

Für die App braucht man keine wirkliche Eingewöhnungszeit. Mann kann sehr schnell Seiten erstellen und zur Kollaboration mit anderen verwenden. Die Integration mit Jira (gleicher Hersteller) ist natürlich hervorragend. Somit kann man schnell gewisse Tasks verlinken und deren Status auf einer Confluence Seite anzeigen. Wenn man ein PDF in Confluence hochlädt, können alle Beteiligen dieses Dokument kommentieren. Das ist sehr hilfreich und erspart zusätzliche Nutzung von Adobe etc.

Gemeinsames editieren mit mehren Personen einer Seite geschieht nicht in Echtzeit. Das frustriert ohne Ende. Man vergisst auch schnell, dass man im Bearbeitungsmodus war was schnell zu Verwirrungen führen kann. Confluence hat sehr viele Funktionen aber diese sind nicht immer für alle Mitarbeiter freigeschaltet. Ich nehme an manche davon sind kostenpflichtige Zusatzmodule? Die Kategorisierung von Content (Seiten, Unterseiten, Navigation) ist nicht immer intuitiv.

Ein übersichtliches System, um Dokumente anzulegen, anzupassen und zu verwalten. Ich prüfe derzeit weitere Möglichkeiten dieses tollen Systems. Hier hilft mir der Free-Tarif für Confluence, der bis zu 10 Benutzer abdeckt, wobei für mich die Useranzahl auch kleiner sein könnte, zwei sollten es aber mind. sein um gemensames Arbeiten testen zu können.

Confluence bietet z.B. auch den Export in Word. Was mir fehlt wäre Unterstützung wenigstens rudimentär Excelinhalte (nicht Formeln) einzulesen oder Tabellen als Excel rudimentär auszugeben.

Grenzenlose Wissensdatenbank mit einfacher Möglichkeit, eigene Dinge zu erfassen und festzuhalten...

....was aber dazu führt, dass das ganze System sehr aufgeblasen, unübersichtlich und schwer zu navigieren ist. Die Suchfunktion ist eher Lotteriespiel, als zielführend.

Das man sich eine Wissendatenbank aufbauen kann.
Ich benutze sie für Prozesse oder Anleitung

An manchen Stellen finde ich das Desing komisch, nicht hübsch anzu sehen

Für haben all unsere fachliche Doku in confluence und führen dort unser Wiki. Ich bin sehr zufrieden

Formatierung kann lästig sein und könnte verbessert werden.

Einfache Verwendung für Personen die mit Office-Applikationen umgehen können. Strukturierter Aufbau und vorgegebene Formatierungen helfen bei der Übersichtlichkeit.

Durch die Preispolitik hat das Produkt an attraktivität verloren. Auch die Cloud-Strategie ist nicht für jeden das Beste.

Taskmanagement und Dokumentenmanagement integriert.

Der Zeichnungseditor fehlt noch. Kommt aber bald.

Besprechungen können gut geplant und Informationen geteilt werden.

Zum Teil unübersichtlich, wenn man sich a) zu wenig damit beschäftigt und/oder b) etwas gesucht wird.

Kompatibilität mit Jira, sowie einfache Erstellung der Dokumentation für die Reportings im Scrum-team. Mehrere Personen können an Dokumenten zusammen arbeiten.

Filter funktionieren nicht immer, einige Probleme mit Postgre Datenbank.

Es ist kinderleicht zu bedienen weil es sehr intuitiv aufgebaut ist.

Zuerst haben die Verlinkungen aus Rechtegründen nicht funktioniert und meine Kollegen und ich wurden nicht benachrichtigt sodass sich das Projekt etwas verzögert hat

It is very useful to share all our documentation and knowledge base. All the users are now able to get updated information, and can share any documentation with the team.

It can become a bit slow sometimes, causing the pages to take longer to load and look for information.

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.

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.

As a user of Confluence, I can confidently say that what I like the most about this collaboration tool is its ability to bring teams together and streamline their work. With Confluence, it is easy to create, share, and collaborate on content in real-time, regardless of where team members are located.One of the key features of Confluence is its flexibility, allowing users to create pages in a variety of formats, including text, images, videos, and more. This makes it easy to create and share content with team members, and to ensure that everyone is working from the same page. The software also supports real-time editing, which means that multiple team members can work on the same document at the same time, making collaboration more efficient and effective.Another feature that I appreciate is the ability to integrate with other tools and software, such as JIRA and Trello, which makes it easy to bring together different aspects of a project and keep everything organized. The software is also highly customizable, with a range of themes and plugins available to tailor the platform to specific needs.

One common criticism is that the platform can be a bit overwhelming, particularly for new users who are not familiar with the software. Some users have reported that the sheer number of features and customization options can be difficult to navigate, and it can take some time to get up to speed with all of the functionality.

I like the programs arrangement to do track tasks.

The lack of customer support and cost of the program.

Confluence is an excellent collaboration tool that allows users to create, share and collaborate on various projects. The platform is incredibly user-friendly and easy to use, with a wide array of features that allow for seamless collaboration. The user interface is intuitive and clean, making it easy to navigate and find the features you need.

The only downside to Confluence is that it can be a bit pricey for some users. Additionally, it is not as intuitive or feature-rich as some of its competitors.

Our communication and document sharing has become much faster and more effective thanks to Confluence's collaboration features. It is simple for team members to add comments, mentions, and attachments within pages, making it easy for everyone to stay informed. It gives our team's knowledge base a neat and organized platform to be stored on. The software's features, such as page templates, labels, and hierarchy structures, enable us to build a well-organized and searchable information repository. It integrates without a hitch with the other tools in our tech stack, making it an incredibly useful and practical tool for us to use. All things considered, Confluence has been a great asset to our team.

It can be cluttered and difficult to navigate, making it challenging to find specific information and files. It can be slow and unresponsive at times, causing frustration and slowing down our workflow. Another issue is the limited customization options, which can make it difficult to fully integrate the software into our specific needs and processes. And the pricing for additional features and upgrades can become quite expensive, making it difficult to budget for and utilize the full range of capabilities offered by the platform.

I appreciated the convenience of collaborating with my team using Confluence. Its user-friendly design made it simple to make and manage documents, exchange concepts, and collaborate with other colleagues. By using Confluence, I was able to bring my team together quickly and easily to debate projects and plans. Furthermore, I was pleased with the option to personalize the atmosphere of the workspace, allowing us to make it reflective of our team.

I don't have any dislikes in regards with the Confluence application.

What I like the most is that you can integrate confluence with Jira. A task management tool and a documentation tool, both very solid, together but separated. This is awesome, as you can have different people focusing on different solutions without interfeering.

I really have nothing to compare it with. You could compare Confluence with Notion, but the way Confluence and Jira integrate makes it uncomparable.

The best thing about confluence is that it comes under the Atlassian software ecosystem and it is packed with features that help to make use of it easy and effective.

Nothing at the moment because it is suitable for my use case.

I particularly appreciate the flexibility of Confluence. It allows you to create collaborative spaces for different projects, teams or domains, using predefined or customized templates. The search function is also very powerful, making it easy to find specific content. In addition, I really like the ability to add macros to integrate external tools, such as dashboards or diagrams.

I find that Confluence can be a little difficult to get used to for new users. Creating custom templates or macros can take some time and patience. Also, software updates can sometimes cause compatibility issues with certain macros or plugins.

The best feature that this has is the extended Add-In marketplace. You can find the proper Add-In to express your ideas in the best way: Coding, Images or illustrations, animated gifs or videos, and even forms inside the documents and pages. From a user perspective, this is one on the easiest knowledge base software in the market, and also you have the bakcing of Atlassian. The process of the integration with our existing business logic was easy because we didn't have a strict knowledge base, but Confluence gave us the foundations to build one from scratch.

The export tools and options you have inside the platform are not good. The data isn't portable, so you can't migrate easily to another platform in case you want. The installation process was complex, but today, they stopped producing self-hosted applications, so you are obligated to use their cloud services, and it can be a problem if the company has a strict data policy, like restrictions in the phisycal storage of the data.

Easy to use and high integration level with other Atlassian tools is the most interesting part of Confluence. There are more powerful software out there, but none of them has this integration level in a full bundle that Atlassian offers.

Managing tables (with a huge amount of data) is not easy here, so usually, we prefer to attach excel files, but if it was more powerful in managing sheets, definitely we like it more!

-No need to use multiple MS software like Ms Project, excel or even Word for documentation. Now I'm using a single tool for my Checklist, Requirement list, action plans, help guides, and testing strategies.
-I like how it is integrated with JIRA which is also one of the main tools we use at work. All Jira dashboards are available within Confluence which allows documentation to be supported by task.
-There are ready templates for creating different types of documents. There is an option to create hierarchy for documentation and link them to each other to avoid duplication.

-Right now, exporting of documents is only limited to Word and PDF file types. It would be better if there were more options.
-Adding the option to customize forms would be a convenient feature. Instead of only having the pre-build forms.
-It is also better if there will be more complex support for searching algorithms for discovery when searching, not just by typing the exact keyword
