"It's extremely intuitive."
"The most valuable feature of Atlassian Confluence is the ability to access your files from anywhere."
"The best feature is the automatic tagging of information in documents. The automatic algorithm highlights irrelevant information that conflict with the actual documents."
"The solution is stable."
"Easy to share information and the integration with JIRA is good."
"This is a scalable solution that supports thousands of users."
"It is stable and reliable."
"File sharing with collaborators not on the same domain with offline access from multiple devices: I work on many projects that are multi-organizational, such as with customers, suppliers, or acquisitions."
"Office Integration. The full integration into the Microsoft Office products is just perfect."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"Box is extremely stable, they have not been hacked or lost any data in the past seventeen years. I am very impressed with it."
"Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities."
"Governance and ease of use are why I think a lot of people like Box, including ourselves. Basically, we're concerned about what information is being sent to Box, so we use a lot of the Box governance features to make sure that what is being sent to Box is appropriate. If it is not appropriate, it is not allowed to be sent. It is also pretty easy to use. It is the easiest to use for customers and for technologists."
"It is a very user-friendly product."
"The product is considered expensive."
"When we have a project that we don't want to share with everybody but want people to know that it exists, there is no way to do this in Confluence. When a project is not shared, people cannot see that it exits."
"Some elements of the user interface could be more user-friendly, including embedding diagrams."
"The user interface is a little bit stale. The file attachments and how they work could be improved. There is also room for improvement when it comes to CDNs."
"I have a couple of different pipelines that I work with. However, I'd like to see them displayed differently on the same dashboard. So, I would like to have a unified dashboard to view the different pipelines."
"The solution is not very user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"When we import the data in Confluence from Word or any other document, the formatting is not correct."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"In future releases, there could be encryption, to have better security."
"They could integrate better with other platforms."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"The search features and role permissions are not very user friendly. It only searches the first few pages of a document, which is quite a problem."
"I haven't really come across a case where we're not able to use it for what it is, so I don't really have anything holding us up or any customers holding us up at this point that I know of. There are always some limitations, but as a technologist, I just live with them, and there is always room for improvement, but I don't have anything quantifiable."
"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
