An easy-to-use and efficient tool for collaborating from anywhere
It is a collaboration tool. All of our company documentation is on Confluence. I am using its latest version. It is a cloud solution. Atlassian is the cloud provider It is very useful for companies that want to deploy their documents in a private cloud repository. Companies don't need to store…

Has an excellent Database Management System and high level of services, performance, and availability
We will need to implement prototypes in our data warehouse. We will have to implement and to support some different types of files like video, audio, pictures, and non-structured data. So we are working on that. We would like better integration for data security. We will have many partners, eight or nine external partners. We will still use our system to upgrade our warehouse. But with many partners, the data warehouse will not be unique. It will be a distributed data platform. So we would need and we are looking for many services to better manage the integrity and the use of all of the data. We are receiving all these data from trains and trucks that are working on the highways and on the roads. We will have to implement some facilities to adequately use all this data at a really high volume coming from IoT. So we are not choosing that and we will have to implement some services. Right now, we don't have any monitoring. We do have major density and access control, but when a user is in our environment, we do not have the services to really measure what he is doing. I will have to report in three months on the project and its evolution. I don't have the financials and the best practices regarding the financial models with costs and benefits for a major data platform with many partners. We will know what it will cost, but we will have to define some benefits because when I will be at the treasury board asking for a major project, they will ask me what would the benefits from that will be. I'm doing research into best practices. I know that the U.S. government has a platform like the one we want to build. It is a bigger one, from what I understand. I think that the state of California and maybe the state of New York has the type of platform we want to put in place. I would like to present more than just an article. I would like to have a reference model, to really be on target by showing the benefits that are possible down the road.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Atlassian Confluence's most valuable features are the ease in which you can use the tool, the flexibility in creating folder structures, receiving notifications in case others put remarks on the documents, and working together on documents."
"The scalability is enough for our use cases. It covers all our needs."
"The solution is very intuitive and provides excellent content management."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from its document-controlling feature. In Atlassian Confluence, controlled documents cannot be edited by anyone else."
"A simple tool for developers to write and record team decisions explaining the product that they are creating."
"It integrates well with other Atlassian products"
"The search functionality is a really powerful feature."
"The best feature is document management."
"We have really high level of services, performance, availability, and it is stable. Everything works together really well."
"This solution has automated protection from downtime. High-availability is built into every component, and the backups are completely automated."
 

Cons

"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."
"Atlassian Confluence could improve how information is shared outside our company. We had some negative experiences with the rights we have with our information when sharing it within Atlassian Confluence and with other teams outside the company. It's due to the limitations on the rights we have on the export capabilities. We don't have sufficient rights to do so."
"There is no concept of peer review or a draft mode - whatever you write is live."
"It would be good if they can continue working towards making documentation and editing as quick and easy as possible. It has got a lot of capability, but I don't know how to use it. I don't find some of the things that intuitive. Sometimes, it doesn't seem obvious to me how to use it, but it is like learning any new tool. You actually need to get trained on the tool to get maximum out of it."
"The cost of the solution is too high."
"The product is considered expensive."
"I'd like to see some improved reporting on usage."
"It would be interesting if they had graphical templates that allowed typical agile ceremonies to be documented better."
"The price of licenses is high and should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a very expensive solution."
"We pay $350 a month to use the solution."
"I am using the paid version. My company has purchased it for company employees. We are using Confluence as a company. I don't know how much it costs, but its price is good enough. Its price is not so high."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning its price falls somewhere in the mid-range zone."
"Maybe we're only using 10% of it, but we have to pay for everything."
"Confluence charges an extra fee for analytics."
"Licenses are quite expensive"
"There is an annual license."
