Atlassian Confluence Reviews

Confluence is very easy to use and a range of third party add-ons to add more capabilities for power users. Highly recommended to any organization as a way of breaking down silos and sharing information more effectively across teams and departments. I often call it "Wikipedia blended with Facebook for the organization".

Prior to my organization adopting Confluence, email was everything. Internal knowledge sharing was always an email, which would get lost in everyone's inbox, along with all the "Reply All" comments. Now, any information worth sharing is posted to Confluence, with threaded comments making future research and referencing far more effective.

I've always found search to be buggy. Sometimes, searching for a keyword or phrase will result in no matches, despite me later finding a posting with that exact word or phrase.

Also, organizing content via folders could be improved. Nested folders only goes two levels deep, while more nesting levels would be helpful. Resorting to using tags for posts is more difficult, as too many tags were getting created by our teams and it became a nightmare.

Confluence works as a trunk for our documentations and instructions, and a help centre for our telephone contact centre.

One and a half years.

No, Atlassian's documentation is very good.

No, the product works stably.

No, the product has scalability up to 2000 users.

Atlassian's service desk is very friendly.

They quickly resolve all of our problems.

We used IBM Connections. It is a very interesting solution, but Confluence is more flexible (maybe because it has many add-ons in its ecosystem).

Some of our installation work was "from the box", when the business requirement was standard. If the business requirement wasn't standard, we customized Confluence and added add-ons to it.

Atlassian has powerful documentation, and even a weak sysadmin could implement Confluence.

Pricing and licensing is friendly, but every year the price increases 5-10%.

• Provides wiki features such as file collaboration.
• Allows us to get feedback from user to approve or edit the documents we create and use daily.
• Allows employees to share relevant information within internal Confluence spaces.
• Allows developers to organize their specifications and record their design decisions.

We can share solutions for various problems between people who work in the company. The next logical step is to use Confluence to manage support documentation. Documentation is a focus of our company for development.

All of the departments need improvement.

I’ve been using this tool for two years.

We have not had any stability issues.

We have not had any scalability issues.

Technical support is good.

We were using Microsoft SharePoint. We switched because it didn't have wiki features.

The setup was easy.

We looked at SharePoint.

Be active in the development of the knowledge management features in your company.

I like the macros (formatting, PDF, images, etc.), tags, tables (with autonumber), @user for citing another user, comments, and the access control in content using groups and users.

Meetings are registered in Confluence, allowing easy access on what had been discussed and the to-do lists. Information, knowledge and users of many areas are integrated in one place.

I would like to see the ability for each user to config his own home page,

We’ve been using Confluence for 3 years.

We rarely encountered issues with stability. But when it happens, generally Atlassian is pro-active and send infos about any issues encountered and how it's beeing handle by support team.

No issues with scalability.

I have never used technical support.

I never used a different solution.

Initial setup was kind of straightforward. We learned how to use it as the issues/necessities appeared.

I advise to start small, then go for the whole company. We started in IT and then expanded to the company using IT as an example.

Makes integration with other softwares or plugins easier.

Began using it in the last year.
