## Reviews

### "Slightly dated - but still a good product" — 4.0/5

> **Anthonie** | *18 December 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Confluence is easy to use and fast to setup. &#10;The page builders work well and relatively rich sites can be built using it
> 
> **Cons**: The interoperability with external plugins is sometimes lacking. The pages (although easy to use) are not always as feature rich. &#10;The Confluence platform does need an overhaul to make it more modern
> 
> All in all Confluence is a stable and well packaged product. the Integrations with other Atlassian products makes Confluence make more sense. If you do however have other Tracking Software (Monday, Clickup etc.) - The use of Confluence might not be the best fit.

### "Powerful Knowledge Sharing Tool" — 5.0/5

> **Eric** | *21 January 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Confluence is one of the most user-friendly content sharing tools.  The flexibility of workspaces allows for organizations to build a user-friendly network of documentation.  It's best feature though, is the integration with Jira.  It simplifies the sharing of knowledge bases.
> 
> **Cons**: The learning curve for permissions management can be arduous, especially when managing external accesses.
> 
> Confluence is a powerful tool that all organizations should leverage to maximize the knowledge sharing potential.

-----

### "A useful place for team documentation" — 4.0/5

> **Hrithik** | *13 July 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's useful having documents, project notes, runbooks, and team processes in one place. It works especially well for sharing information that needs to stay available beyond a Slack thread.
> 
> **Cons**: Pages can become outdated or hard to find, especially when different teams organize their spaces differently. Search is helpful, but it can still take time to locate the right version of a document.
> 
> Overall, Confluence is useful for keeping engineering knowledge and project documentation centralized. We use it for architectural notes, procedures, project pages, and internal guides. It works well, although the quality depends a lot on people keeping pages organized and updated.

> 
> **Cons**: Cons of confluence are , I have found it quite a learning curve and quite hard to work out how to update confluence. It takes a while to get used to using this.
> 
> Confleunce is a great tool to store all information and documents on the one site , it is like a library for products /projects.  Great to share with stakeholders who can view all information in the one place.
