Inconvénients

Établir la structure est laborieuse lorsque tu ne connais pas l'application.

Avantages

Confluence dispose d'une belle interface utilisateur facile à naviguer et d'un grand nombre d'intégrations de plates-formes tierces. Les notifications sont très utiles pour tenir l'équipe informée des tâches à venir. La gestion documentaire est excellente avec des possibilités d'échange d'informations en temps réel.

Des tutoriels pour les nouveaux utilisateurs serait apprécié pour mieux comprendre les fonctionnalités.

Avantages

La simplicité à utiliser l'outil et à rendre visuelle des informations complexes.

Beaucoup de fonctionnalités, on peut s'y perdre tellement le choix est vaste.

Avantages

Il est relativement facile d'utilisation.

Inconvénients

Problème de synchronisation des pages quand plusieurs personnes travaillent sur une même page.

Avantages

L'affichage des pages est rapide. L'interface est assez moderne.

Inconvénients

La hiérarchie des pages peut des fois être complexe

Avantages

Confluence became a fundamental part of our teams collaboration strategy. We use it as the go-to place for project and software documentation, eliminating shared folders and documents sent as email attachments. Easy to export in pdf if needed and easy to organize in folders and pages.

Inconvénients

The history and diff mechanism need a revamp. It is not very easy to pick two versions and find out who did what in the document. Also the whiteboard is difficult to use if you need to add a checklist and text.

Microsoft SharePoint

Pourquoi passer à Confluence

It is great for easy usage and search features are very good.

Avantages

With a research team its very easy to manage every document and information.

Inconvénients

It's not live editing like other tools which makes it complex sometimes when multiple people want to access

Avantages

It is simple to use and easy to navigate. It's UI blends extremely well with the rest of the JIRA management suite and links to tickets seamlessly.

Inconvénients

The documents don't feel too responsive at times, and the inline code blocks can jump about at random sometimes.

Avantages

This is a really powerful tool for taking notes, sharing datas, creating whiteboards, having box of ideas, create WBS, tracking your actions etc. This is a really easy tool proposng some basc templates and you can also use it in a more powerful sense with a bit more digging in the tool.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the website is not the most attractive one, for example, the action tracker is really ugly. It could be nice also to have a data base that you can search of what are your possibilities on a page.

Avantages

Confluence is an awesome tool that helped me a lot at my workplace with all those documentations written by my colleagues and the guys before me. One thing i liked the most was its version control meaning it track changes and maintain a history of edits. It also informs you about the changes made to any documents .It keeps all the documents in one place. It is so much easier to access documents via Search bar.

Inconvénients

While basic features are user-friendly, using advanced functions like macros or integrations can require trainings. Also searching can be difficult sometimes if the documents were not organized (specially in large workplace).

Avantages

Confluence features organized spaces for data management that simplify the coordination of workflow between all departments, maintains the centralization of documentation and the integrity of reviews. I loved how Confluence ensures that information is continuously accessible to everyone in real time and the ease of adding and formatting content, whether at the level of reports or interactive panels. Confluence always makes content more attractive and makes it easy for the team to browse and add notes. I loved the advanced search options that allow access to any document or information with extreme ease.

Inconvénients

Confluence is distinguished by its multiple options that organize the workflow and support the creation of reports without errors.

Avantages

Confluence is a Scalable and Enhanced Team collaboration tool that centralizes documentation, project planning, team communication.

Inconvénients

Confluence is bit complex for new users as it has steep learning Curve and also tool has limited formatting options

Avantages

Confluence is a very robust and powerful tool that makes knowledge sharing and documentation easy

Inconvénients

Once you use any external ad-ons, the pricing increases

Avantages

Project management, output, work-specific human resources management, sharing and collaboration with all participants are important, and Confluence solves all these things at once. There are many services and solutions for efficient project management, but we always use Confluence.

Inconvénients

Perhaps because it is mainly used for necessary functions, there are no disadvantages yet.

Avantages

The collaborative document edition feature is really awesome! Intuitive, secure, fluid,... It's exactly what you can expect from such a feature. In particular, the merge function is really well done: only in rate cases the tool will ask you to decide which version to keep. In all other cases the tool make it transparently without mistake. Brilliant!

Inconvénients

There is a native connection with Jira, from the same company (Atlassian) but I find it very limited. I would expect more enhanced reporting or chart features, beyond the current limited options. Jira is powerful but very few of its data are available in Confluence.
Also, one particular thing annoys me: there are very few options to change the text format. For example it's not possible to change the size of the text in "body".

Avantages

Confluence has enabled myself and my team to keep a single point of reference where you can always count on to have the latest enterprise data, it's very reliable and has very good search capabilities shortenning the time to find a piece of information.

Inconvénients

It works best when you have the whole package of Atlassian which includes Jira and Bitbucket,
It also has good integration with other tools but best all the tools to come from one "home".

Avantages

Confluence has been a go to tool for managing the source of truth for all our projects. Encourages collaboration and brings the team together for working towards one source of truth.

Inconvénients

Searchability (omg, its complicated) and overhead in reducing the duplicate information.
I wish there is a smart editor that stops the users from entering duplicate information as they are typing the info. Go AI

Avantages

This is a digital workspace that enables us to work as a team.
I like how Confluence has been promoting collaboration at our workplace.

Inconvénients

I am impressed by the flawlessness of Confluence.
Confluence is so amazing and powerful.

Avantages

Every company I’ve worked at has used Confluence—it’s been super handy for creating knowledge base pages, updating new processes, sharing team-specific info, and organizing org charts. It’s basically the go-to spot for capturing the ‘what, why, and how’ of everything so the team or company is always in the loop

Inconvénients

Nothing i could think off, its super easy to read and also being a editor i couldn't find any issues which is a big blocker.

Avantages

Confluence is the most trusted documentation player in the game. We use Jira for our engineering task management so naturally, the seamless vertical integration between the two tools is excellent. Confluence has an excellent template library and perhaps most importantly, the performance is always reliable. We can't use tools like ClickUp due to bugs and performance issues for long significant PRDs. The collaboration on confluence is excellent and permissions around editing is also important.

Inconvénients

Confluence is quite clunky (much like Jira). The ability to edit isn't as easy as ClickUp or Notion and that can get frustrating when you're trying to make changes quickly.

Avantages

Confluence has so much great information for project managers right at their fingertips. It helps plan and coordinate your schedule. It also has AI integrated into it which can be so helpful when you are at a crossroads. Templates are simple yet effective.

Inconvénients

The only thing I will say is that since this software is not as big as other major websites and information sources, it can have a lack of information, as well as having outdated sites and sources. However, this is not true of all information available.

Avantages

It is very customizable and has many integrations, but the basics of word processing are very quick and easy to use right away. Confluence is evidently on par with its competitors from the moment you start using it, and only gets more impressive the deeper you learn about it.

Inconvénients

The 3rd party integrations are not always well-vetted. It would be nice to have the more popular ones built-in and supported as core features which can be enabled. It's also frustrating to have several markdown languages active within Atlassian products in different areas.

Avantages

Confluence makes it easy to create, share and manage content in a centralized space. It has user-friendly interface that makes navigating easy. This platform is ideal for large-scale knowledge management. I love it's real time collaborations.

Inconvénients

I don't have any problems with Confluence.

Avantages

It's industry standard and just works. Most people know how to use it already.

Inconvénients

It's easy for information to become unorganized and sometimes the search functionality does not perform well making it hard to find information.

Avantages

The best thing about confluence we can have all our document at one place with access to everyone who needs it. It is easy to manage the access level like who can view, edit, delete or access the document.
The document can be managed at company level or project level.

Inconvénients

The name has to be always different i.e support we have a folder Name 1 and sub file under it as file 1 and if i have another folder as Name 2 , even under that we cannot have a file as file 1.

Avantages

Confluence excels in collaboration and knowledge management among teams in the organization. It acts as a document center where answers to most respective questions or issues are answered by peers saving tons of time.

Documentation of a specific process allows new joiners to quickly understand the by just looking into the documentation instead of assigning a resource to help them understand the whole process. It is a great platform for productivity.

Inconvénients

Editing the documents can be made just like Microsoft Word and duplicating all its features could be great because almost all use Word to edit documents.

Avantages

Excellent for creating, organizing, and sharing documentation within teams. Helps to serve as a single source of the information project.
Helps with collaboration features, editing, adding comments, and notifications, which improves the communication of the team.
Provides templates for several types of documents, makes it easier to get started.
It easy integrates with other Atlassian products (like Jira).
Very user-friendly interface make it accessible for users of all technical levels.

Inconvénients

using the documents is easy, but navigating within it requires a training, and might take some time to get use to it.
The paid plans can be expensive, for big teams

Avantages

Confluence is great! It contains any and all information about my company as a whole in one convenient spot. The main search bar is extremely helpful in getting me to the information I need, even if I only have key words. I can't say enough good things about this program.

Inconvénients

There is nothing I don't like about this program

Avantages

Confluence is an incredible platform for amazing collaborations and even for managing and organizing tasks. When am working on projects and I want to finish them fast I use Confluence because I can collaborate with teams and share ideas.

Inconvénients

I haven't had any problems with Confluence.

Avantages

It was an effective tool for logging reasons, process and the development of an agile UX delivery from Discovery to Beta - logging design histories, decisions and changes in a way that was easy to navigate.

Inconvénients

Not much to add here - search functions and labelling worked well, and it was easy to use when creating the documentation too.

Avantages

You can very simply layout a Knowledge Base page to make the information easy to find. Searching for information is Super easy

Inconvénients

There are some limitations when setting page permissions. If you are familiar with server permissions, Confluence is not as flexible and easy.

Avantages

Confluence is a well established, feature rich, easy to use and highly scalable collaboration tool. It makes writing and sharing documentation very easy. There is a vast library of (mostly paid for) plugins that can customise the experience.

Inconvénients

It's expensive and the plug in system ramps up the cost considerably as well. Plugins have a habit of launching for free but after some time they start charging.
(usually shortly after you realise it's indispensable). They make it hard to remove and replace plugins.
Th search facility is not configurable and heavily weights results to more recent documents.

Avantages

Proper structure,
Main page and child pages structure is very good
Inbuilt search option is very helpful

Inconvénients

nothing as of now, it is really very helpful in terms of secure data exchange across teams and team members

Avantages

It's simple, no need to worry much about colours, formatting, etc

Inconvénients

Main drawback - to this date I haven't found a way to have live documents uploaded, meaning every time something changes - I need to upload a new version. Many of the documents are net being previewed (you cannot even view them online), so you have to download them.

Avantages

Confluence makes it easy to organize, share, and find information. It’s a perfect place for our company projects knowledge base.

Inconvénients

It can feel overwhelming at times, especially with too many pages or unclear organization. Also, some features can be tricky to use without proper training.

Avantages

Confluence is part of an already well-positioned and easy-to-implement ecosystem where multiple tools perform a specific job in a workflow. This makes it easy and friendly to set up and run; using information from other platforms like JIRA and Bitbucket, everything comes together in an excellent and organized way without much effort.

Inconvénients

It might be overwhelming at first; there are plenty of options and personalization elements you can include, so you might think, "It is too much for me." But by watching a couple of YouTube videos, you will see how you can customize it to suit your needs and start using its powerful features.

Slack

Pourquoi choisir Confluence 

We used to have documentation inside our bitbucket repositories, but we required a well-defined and easy-to-access platform where the team could both collaborate and access the information for a particular part of the application without needing to go through the code to find it

Pourquoi passer à Confluence

We found that Confluence integrated naturally with JIRA and our Bitbucket repositories, giving us an organic way to set up all our workflows in a single platform. While we could use Slack or any other messaging platform to communicate, Confluence worked perfectly for our documentation needs.

Avantages

The best aspect of Confluence that I have found is that it is really easy to use and very friendly. This software is very convenient for use by anyone, including the first time user of this kind of applications. I also like the potential of making and editing content that is shared and I also believe that communication as well as teamwork are enhanced.

Inconvénients

But the thing that I did not like most is that I sometimes get the feeling that the tool is rather limited in what it does allow me to change. I want more configuration possibilities, so that it would be possible to fit the software to the needs of my workshop.

Avantages

The best hub and planner product out there and it is very easy to use

Inconvénients

Sometimes the output of the search is not exactly what you are looking for

Avantages

It has well implemented page tree which makes it easy to find required content documentation.It makes it easy to create and manage documentation for knowledge base collaboration.It has good import/export capabilities and also browser extension works really well.

Inconvénients

Two issues I've encountered with Confluence are the limitations on customization,which prevents me from making any adjustments and the restricted offline access.

Avantages

Confluence is our go-to content management and knowledge based tool. The ability to create spaces by team or departments is really useful and my favorite feature is the ability to give permission by page instead of just by space. We have a main team focused on maintaining our knowledge base, but it's helpful that we can also assign unique individuals who are subject matter experts to also help that team update the content.

Inconvénients

At times it feels like Confluence may be a bit too robust. It's a great content management system, but can sometimes over complicate a search for a particular page. It can take some time to locate the page you are looking because so many results pop up. You have to weed through the results to find the one you're seeking.

Avantages

What I like most is the way I can organize the information and that the entire team can access it easily, quickly and safely.

Inconvénients

I would like to be able to have or see a work plan in real time, to be able to not only manage the documentation but also the progress of the project

Avantages

The ability to navigate, create and modify documents and contents in Confluence.

Inconvénients

Improperly configured add-ons sometimes can cause slow page loading. An option of what caused the delay in the loading of a confluence page and how much time it took, could be a good indication to resolve issues.

Avantages

Confluence is a morden workspace that allows interactive projects collaborations. It is to get information with Confluence.

Inconvénients

The learning curve is a hard to understand but once you get to understand it everything else gets to be easy.

Avantages

I greatly enjoy the Kanban views, and ability to easily set up reporting across teams/boards. It's fairly easy to customize. Planning Sprints and seeing burn down reports is also very easy with this tool.

Inconvénients

There really isn't much I dislike. I haven't used it for Resource Management so if you need to be able to do that ...I'm not sure if this is the tool for you.

Avantages

Confluence is great because it brings everyone’s ideas and information into one organized space. I like how it feels like a virtual team hub where you can brainstorm, track projects, and access resources easily. Plus, it's simple to navigate and keeps things from getting lost in endless email chains!

Inconvénients

The search function could definitely be more intuitive to help navigate large workspaces.

Avantages

It is a really quick and easy way to share knowledge share documents and collaborate with your team. It enables us to inform our whole business of processes in a streamlined way

Inconvénients

The UI can be difficult to figure out. Features arent necessarily where you would expect them and I think more work could be done around organizing folders and pages
