Confluence Reviews & Product Details

Confluence gives us one place where specs, runbooks, meeting notes, and onboarding live and people actually find them. The page tree + search works well, and the templates (PRD, postmortem, decision log) make it quick to start. I love the little quality‑of‑life bits: @mentions to nudge owners, inline code blocks, task lists with due dates, and the ability to turn a page into a lightweight project doc in minutes. The Jira integration is the kicker: I can drop an issue/filter URL and it renders beautifully, pull a change log or status report with JQL, and even create issues from highlighted text during a grooming session. It keeps docs and execution in sync without copy‑pasting screenshots. I also appreciate page history and inline comments for reviews great for audits and “who changed what” moments.

The editor still has quirks. Tables can be fiddly (merging/splitting cells sometimes messes up spacing), and copy‑pasting from Google Docs or Notion brings odd formatting you have to clean up. Permissions are powerful but easy to over‑complicate new spaces inherit weirdly if you’re not careful, which can confuse who can see what. Search occasionally surfaces older pages above newer “canonical” ones unless you archive aggressively. Large attachments (design PDFs, datasets) bloat spaces fast, and the mobile app is fine for reading but not great for editing structured docs. Lastly, draw.io/diagram apps are excellent but can feel heavy on slow connections Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Confluence provides a very intuitive and organized way to document, share, and collaborate on information across teams. I really appreciate how easy it is to structure content with pages and spaces, as well as the integration with Jira, which makes project management much smoother. The real-time collaboration and version history are also great for keeping track of changes and ensuring transparency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the editor can be a bit slow or laggy, especially with large pages or heavy formatting. It can also take some time for new users to understand the structure and permissions system. Additionally, some customization options (like layouts or templates) could be more flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how Confluence brings all of our team’s documentation together in a single location. Organizing information, linking between pages, and ensuring everyone stays on the same page is straightforward, eliminating the need for constant email chains or Slack messages. The real-time editing and commenting tools also make working together feel effortless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main challenge is that the workspace can feel a bit messy as it grows. It’s easy to come across outdated or duplicate pages, which sometimes makes it hard to find the most accurate information. It would be great if Confluence offered smarter tools to keep content organized and up to date automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Confluence keeps our team on the same page, literally. Having one central space for all our info makes a huge difference, since it keeps things organized without making a mess of folders or Google Docs.

It scales really well too: you can start with basic notes, but over time it grows into a more structured space where all teams can easily collaborate and find what they need.

A bonus is that it plays really well with Jira, which makes linking projects and updates very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s not the flashiest tool - the editor feels a bit clunky at times, and finding old pages isn’t always intuitive. But if you mostly care about documentation and general organization, Confluence gets the job done.

Solid, reliable, and essential! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the search feature in Confluence and how easy it is to find documents. It's effective at finding relevant documents, and it's really easy to organize things, especially by team, which makes them easy to find as long as you're using proper naming conventions. I also find it easy to set up and organize everything within Confluence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not sure if Confluence has a bookmark feature, and I haven't seen it. I think having a feature to organize and keep track of many stat files in one place would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Confluence offers a smooth and intuitive interface that makes documentation and collaboration easy for teams of any size. It integrates seamlessly with other Atlassian products like Jira, which streamlines task tracking and reporting. The platform is packed with features like templates, version history, and real-time editing, which we use daily. It was easy to get up and running with, and the documentation provided made the initial setup straightforward. We also appreciate that their customer support has been responsive and helpful whenever we’ve needed assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For all its strengths, Confluence can feel slightly rigid when it comes to design customization or creating complex layouts without plugins. While the core features are solid, adding advanced functionality often requires third-party apps. Occasionally, permissions can get tricky to manage in larger spaces. Also, performance can lag a bit with very large or heavily edited pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Confluence does a great job of giving my team a centralized place to document and share information. Implementing things is very smooth thanks to built-in templates for meeting notes, project plans and creating stories. It helps create structured content. Things like inline comments and mentions make it simple to get feedback or input without needing long email threads or separate tools. I also find the integration with other Atlassian tools, especially Jira to be a major strength. It helps keep documentation closely tied to actual project work, which is real useful when managing fast-moving teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel that confluence can quickly become cluttered if there isn't clear ownership or structure, pages tend to pile up and over time it gets hard to tell what's current and what's outdated. Some formatting tools feel clunky, especially with tables or layout tweaks. Adoption can also be inconsistent across teams unless someone actively maintains.
