Overall Satisfaction with Atlassian Confluence

Confluence is used throughout the organization. We use it as a documentation repository, for everything from software designs, to customer contact information, to public-facing company documents, to holding the recorded videos of meetings. Confluence allows us to organize the documentation for all of the various groups in the company and to collaborate on designs for our products.
  • Provides tools to quickly and easily author simple documents.
  • Provides inline review tools for documents.
  • Provides @mention capability for people in the organization to draw attention to specific issues
  • Search capability is basic at best
  • There's little to no real ability to make documents look pretty
  • Multi-user collaboration on a single document is primitive. Something more of the order of Google Docs is more appropriate.
Suited:
- Review and comment on documents produced by a single user
- Repository of 'accepted' documents and processes
- Basic documentation

Unsuited
- Multi user collaborative content creation
- Non-basic formatted docs
