Good software for documentation but a bit expensive with NO built in security (data center)
Pros

Confluence is user-friendly for document creation, but additional apps come at an extra yearly cost, starting from thousands of dollars.

Cons

The pricing seems steep for small businesses, especially with additional costs for external apps and the absence of built-in security features like MFA in the Data Center license.

Fairly average docs experience
Pros

While integrating with other Atlassian products Confluence supports collaborative real-time editing and various integrations and plugins. The flexibility extends to setting up UML diagrams and similar features.

Cons

The search function is a significant let-down. In larger companies this becomes crucial and Confluence's search quality was a running joke at my previous company of over 1000 people. Diagramming lacks without plug-ins and choosing which to include can be tricky. Rich document editing can be confusing and surprising in terms of UX. Rearranging pages in the navigation hierarchy via drag and drop is extremely painful. Document templates are somewhat cumbersome to use.
