Best wiki product out there

What are the best aspects of this product?

* Great WYSIWYG
* Strong layout features (sections, columns)
* Rich macro functionality - lets your wiki do so much more and integrate with the other cloud apps that you use
* Allows to easily create hierarchies of pages, easy cross-page references
* Useful blueprints (templates) for workflow documents
* Visually pleasing - important because it appeals not just to engineers, but the whole company

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

* Not as fast as I'd like it to be
* Have to enter "Edit" mode to edit the page (no Google Docs-like experience), but that's changing in the future
* Tables aren't great
* A bit pricey, especially for small teams trying to use several Atlassian's products together

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We are a diagramming application. We use a fast-paced, agile workflow. Confluence allows us to store our knowledge in one place: tutorials, internal standards, specs, etc. Confluence is also great at making reports: sprint review documents, retrospectives, brainstorming notes. You can also embed data from JIRA and a bunch of other third-party products. This lets you turn your pages into dynamic dashboards where all the information you need is at your fingertips.
