In today’s fast-paced work environment, organizations are overwhelmed by disconnected tools and scattered content, making it difficult for teams to find what they need and make informed decisions. Confluence addresses this challenge by serving as a central hub where knowledge is not only captured but actively powers work across the company. With Confluence, teams can create and share content in a variety of formats, including pages, live documents, whiteboards, and databases, enabling seamless collaboration throughout the entire lifecycle of work. The platform’s open-by-default approach breaks down silos, ensuring that information flows freely and is accessible to everyone who needs it, while still allowing for security controls where necessary. Confluence enables managers to proactively surface relevant knowledge through advanced search and AI-driven recommendations. Teams can stay ahead of the curve, uncover insights, and make smarter decisions. Deep integrations with tools, such as Jira and Loom, as well as a rich ecosystem of third-party apps, connect knowledge directly to the work teams are doing, reducing context switching and streamlining workflows. Automations and AI agents further enhance productivity by minimizing repetitive tasks and scaling knowledge sharing across the organization. Whether brainstorming on a whiteboard, documenting a project, or aligning work to company goals, Confluence brings teams together to create, iterate, and drive impact. > > Verdict: Rated **4.5/5** by 3720 users.

The Features make it convenient to create, organize, and maintain project documentation in one central location. File Sharing is also useful when working with different teams because information and supporting documents can be accessed and shared easily. The platform makes it easier to keep project knowledge organized and accessible, especially when multiple people need to collaborate on the same information. > > **Cons**: One limitation is that large workspaces with many pages and documents can sometimes become difficult to organize and navigate. I have occasionally experienced minor bugs and issues, such as pages taking longer to load or content not displaying as expected. File Conversion can also be less convenient when working with certain document formats. I have limited direct experience with Customer Support because I have not needed to contact support frequently. > > My overall experience with Confluence has been positive. The Ease of Use makes it straightforward to create, organize, and access project documentation, while the Features provide a useful central place for managing team knowledge. File Sharing is helpful for keeping information accessible to different team members, and File Conversion is useful when working with documents in different formats. Although I have encountered some minor Bugs and Issues, they have not significantly affected my experience. I have limited direct experience with Customer Support, but overall I find Confluence reliable and believe it provides good Value for Money for teams that need a centralized documentation and collaboration platform. ----- ### "Good daily driver for day-to-day work with Confluence, not a full" — 4.0/5 > **christopher** | *14 August 2026* | Wireless | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Search and history are good enough that we stopped keeping a shadow copy in a personal note. That is why Confluence stuck after the first month of the handoff between the person who does the work and the person who checks it. The recurring task that used to leak into evenings now finishes inside the workday. It stays out of the way once the habit is formed, which is the highest compliment I give software. > > **Cons**: What I like least is straightforward. Settings are easy to lose if you do not live in the product every day. Reporting is adequate and not something I would demo to a board without exporting. Those are operational nits, not a reason the product fails at the core job. > > This is how the tool behaves for us right now, not how a demo looked. Confluence is what we open for the handoff between the person who does the work and the person who checks it, which is the only context that matters for this review. The part that works: We spend less time reconstructing what happened last week from inboxes and chat. The part that still costs us a little time: settings are easy to lose if you do not live in the product every day. I would recommend it to a similar shop with those limits stated up front. ----- ### "A better documentation application now" — 4.0/5 > **Samuel** | *11 August 2026* | Investment Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The search has improved a lot recently and the addition of folders has made organisation a lot simpler. > > **Cons**: It is still a bit tricky to import docs from other sources (Direct from Markdown for example) so the easiest way is to use an LLM + MCP. > > Overall the platform has improved, and I much prefer using it now compared to a year ago. If the tool keeps improving then maybe next year it will be 5 stars\! ----- ### "Powerful Tool for Larger Organizations" — 4.0/5 > **Jenis** | *3 August 2026* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Good organization tool for Team Notes and Documentation for your department Processes. A well maintained Confluence can be the source of truth for all processes. Real-time edits work. ease of use and secure file sharing. > > **Cons**: Does require a bit of learning for fresh users. Loading times can be slow and media heavy pages do tend to error/time out. > > Works well once everything is set up and you have an experienced admin managing the pages. Would recommend for larger organizations with multiple Teams/Departments but does not seem very cost effective for smaller organizations. ----- ### "Useful tool for keeping team information in one place" — 5.0/5 > **Satvik** | *2 September 2026* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that we can keep all the important team and project information in one place. It is easy to create pages , share documents and update things whenever needed. It also makes it easier to find old information instead of asking someone from the team every time. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it takes a little time to find the right page, especially when there are too many pages or spaces. It can also be slightly confusing when you are using some of the features for the first time. > > My overall experience with Confluence has been good. We use it regularly for documentation , project details , meeting notes and sharing information within the team. It is convenient to have everything available in one place and the integration with JIRA is also helpful. There is a bit of learning curve initially , but once you get used to it , it is pretty easy to use. ----- Page: 1 / 150\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/430492/confluence?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/430492/confluence) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
