What differentiates Confluence from other similar products?

Confluences huge library of integrations and add-ons, is one of the most beautiful aspects of my experience with it. We have successfully been able to import the key software tools we utilize on a regular into our Confluence workflow and by so doing, extended the default use cases of Confluence as a knowledge management software solution for the engineering department.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to use Confluence as a centralised source of important day to day operational information , accessible from anywhere is my favourite aspect of this product.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Although Confluence has a web and mobile version, it lacks a native desktop application.. The absence of Single sign on (SSO ) support is another area where Confluence falls short.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Used majorly within our engineering department but I strongly believe that Confluence is ideal for non-engineering departments too.
