Confluence

Confluence for the Cloud cannot handle numbered lists well – it resets the sequence to 1 if you have other items such as a table or certain apps (such as /note) or similar included in the list. This is a major drawback if you have complex procedures to create. Don’t be fooled. Confluence is actually very, very expensive to own. The Marketplace apps are seemingly very cheap - even free, however, if you have a large user base, that £5 per app is automatically multiplied by the number of users, in my case the company has some 500 users, which represents some considerable investment, especially if you want the app to do something pretty basic. The included apps look like a good deal, that is until you start using them. These apps have not all been developed with love and care (or decent supporting documentation) and turn out to be inflexible, and format themselves according to how the developer has designed them. Plus, the apps are really not all that proficient. The styles are limited to what THEY consider you will use - which personally, I don't like. Their spell checker is inaccurate for the UK market. If you've been using the old template they now have a new one and upgrading existing documents may not always work. All requests for enhancements are handled by Developers and if your request falls under a certain number of 'likes' then you can forget having the enhancement - as is the case with the numbered lists (2 years and no improvement). The page layouts are restricted to their idea of what columns of information should look like and there is little flexibility. Changing the column widths is poorly implemented to using their presets which do not always suit. You can't include anything other than videos or photos (graphics) unless you purchase an app - useless for say using Excel Tables are 'clunky' to work with. There is none of the functionality you would expect from a more proficient word processor such as Word - forget such items as search and replace Overall, if I were to choose again, I would not use Confluence for anything more than a form of a notebook.

Confluence has been our standard company tool for years to capture, organize, share, and discover knowledge. Confluence is used by the entire company but enjoys high utilization with the technical software engineering teams. Confluence ensures that product architectures, partner integrations, and customer projects are fully and accurately documented. Confluence is also used externally to share common customer documentation, online help, and integration specifications to our product's platform. Confluence is the ideal tool for sharing structured and connected content both inside and outside of the company.

We currently use Confluence as our primary document collaboration repository - everything from meeting notes, status updates, how-to documentation, business processes, etc are all stored inside Confluence. This allows for anyone in the company to obtain access to meeting information and policies from a central, easy to navigate system. Every team within the company has their own 'space' within Confluence to format and design how their team operates within Confluence.

It addressed several communication backlogs and created a more convivial area to share quickly and efficiently updates on projects and steps to follow.

Atlassian Confluence was originally used in conjunction with Atlassian's other primary project -JIRA- as a collaborative workspace which fed into JIRA for project management and oversight. It was originally used by our whole organization from creative to dev to PMS etc but we found that the structure and integrations were too limiting to be used so broadly. Primarily it wasn't conducive to a dev workflow with PM oversight. As such we have branched out to using other products as a more collaborative workspace while using Confluence more as knowledge dump as well as various wikis for different departments.

Atlassian Confluence is used by entire organization across departments and geographies. Atlassian Confluence primarily acts as a central repository for all the knowledge that exists in the organization. The information is well organized in terms of pages and spaces and Atlassian Confluence acts as the first place to search whenever anyone is looking for the information. So it avoids reinventing the wheel by allowing to check if similar work has been done by some other team in some other geography which can be adapted or used as such.

Confluence is being used across all departments of our company: IT, business development, HR. Each of those areas has it's own customised way of dealing with knowledge pages, but at the same time we are able to cross-reference and easily exchange information and details. We are also using a standarised sharing workflow, with the ability to control access on various levels, be it for single staff members, teams, or departments.

[Atlassian] Confluence is used in two primary ways within Cisco AppDynamics. The first use case is for internal documentation, where we use [Atlassian] Confluence across nearly all departments for documentation surrounding internal services, directories, glossary of terms, high level project planning, reporting and dashboarding, and policies/procedures.
