I would recommend Atlassian Confluence for companies that want to have internal documentation and minimum governance processes to ensure documentation is useful and doesn't have a lot of duplicated and non-updated content. I wouldn't recommend Atlassian Confluence for companies with a low budget since this product might be a little costly (especially with add-ons).
Well Suited Scenarios: Regulatory Compliance: IBM FileNet Content Manager is ideal for industries with strict regulatory requirements, such as healthcare and finance. It helps organizations securely manage and retain documents, ensuring compliance with data retention policies. Enterprise Document Management: Large organizations that deal with extensive document volumes benefit from FileNet's document capture, indexing, and search capabilities. It simplifies document management across departments. Less Appropriate Scenarios: Small Businesses: For small businesses with limited document management needs, FileNet may be overly complex and expensive. Simpler, more cost-effective solutions may be a better fit.Simple Document Storage: Organizations primarily seeking basic cloud-based document storage without extensive workflow automation or compliance requirements might find FileNet's capabilities excessive for their needs.
Cross product linking - If you use other Atlassian products then Atlassian Confluence is a no-brainer for your source of documentation, knowledge management etc. You can show previews of the linked asset natively E.g. showing a preview of a JIRA ticket in a Atlassian Confluence page.
Simple editing - Though the features available may not be super complex right now, this does come with the benefit of making it easy to edit and create documents. Some documentation editors can be overwhelming, Atlassian Confluence is simple and intuitive.
Native marketplace - If you want to install add-ons to your Atlassian Confluence space it's really easy. Admins can explore the Atlassian marketplace natively and install them to your instance in a few clicks. You can customise your Atlassian Confluence instance in many different ways using add-ons.
UI Design is very simplistic and basic could make use of more visually interesting colour choices, layout choices, etc.
Under the 'Content' menu, it defaults to having a landing page for all L1 and L2 category pages. Meaning as long as the broader content category has a sub-category, it still creates a separate landing page. In my team's case, this often creates blank pages, as we only fill out the page at the lowest sub-category (L3).
Hyperlinks are traditionally shown as blue, however, this results into very monotonously blue pages in cases where a lot of information is being linked.
IBM FileNet Content Manager's interface is complex and difficult to navigate for some users. IBM should consider improving the user interface to make it more easier and intuitive.
IBM FileNet Content Manager may be difficult to integrate with other applications and systems. IBM should consider improving its integration capabilities to ease connectivity with other systems.
The wide range of customization make it challenging for users to configure the software to find find their specific needs. IBM should simplify the customization process to make it easier for users.
I am confident that Atlassian can come with additional and innovative macros and functions to add value to Confluence. In 6 months, Atlassian transformed a good collaborative tools into a more comprehensive system that can help manage projects and processes, as well as "talk" with other Atlassian products like Jira. We are in fact learning more about Jira to evaluate a possible fit to complement our tool box.
Great for organizing knowledge in a hierarchical format. Seamless for engineering and product teams managing software development. Helps in formatting pages effectively, reducing manual work. Tracks changes well and allows for easy rollbacks. Granular controls for who can view/edit pages. Search function is not great which needs improvement. Hire some google engineers
We never worked against the tide while using Confluence. Everything loads considerably fast, even media components like videos (hosted on the platform or embed external videos from Youtube, for example). We are not using heavy media components a lot, but in the rare occasion we happen to use one we have no problems whatsoever.
This rating is specifically for Atlassian's self-help documentation on their website. Often times, it is not robust enough to cover a complex usage of one of their features. Frequently, you can find an answer on the web, but not from Atlassian. Instead, it is usually at a power user group elsewhere on the net.
It's a great tool for our legacy system however the implementation, management time and lack of a niche provided by IBM makes it a difficult tool to recommend in a fast-paced market.
We chose Atlassian Confluence over SharePoint because it's much more user-friendly and intuitive. Atlassian Confluence makes collaboration and knowledge sharing easier with its simpler interface and better search. While SharePoint can be powerful, it often feels clunky and complex, making it harder for our team to actually use it.
IBM FileNet Content Manager is a much superior product compared to anything in the market, IBM AI is really great and the ability to automate is really awesome. We also use other IBM products such as RPA and it integrates seamlessly. Compliance is really the USP of IBM FileNet Content Manager
