Overall Satisfaction with Atlassian Confluence

Confluence is being used in our organization across marketing, sales, enablement and the executive team. It is currently being used as a data repository for marketing materials and sales enablement materials. It serves as a place where my team members can add in work, comment on documents, and collaborate as a team. When new hires come on board, Confluence provides a history of the projects and the work that has already been done.
  • Collaboration tool - best way for teams to collaborate on upcoming projects or previous projects that have already been done. Great for people that come on board.
  • Shared calendar - lets you see when people have time off scheduled as well as deadlines, and it can all be color coded.
  • Integration - integrates very well with Jira, Google, Slack.
  • Cost - there are tons of add-ons that are costly and not included in the main package when you purchase the software. like the calendar and other tools which should be native functionality.
  • Updates - are very much behind the times. There is a lacking in the product functionality that is very common with other collaboration tools.
  • customization - this can be very hard if multiple departments are using the same instance. typically you have to run with the same customization across the entire organization.
  • Postive impact: Various document templates, document version history, clear and straightforward integration with JIRA.
  • Positive Impact: Give everyone in your office transparency including project reports, product requirements, roadmaps, and more.
  • Positive Impact: Capture all the data that’s scattered among countless apps and email inboxes in the same place. Give your teams, projects, and departments their own space to store work.
  • Excel
With this tool, everyone is in the same place. You and your teams will have the information that is usually lost in email inboxes as well as shared network drives. Data become much easier to find, use, and update with Atlassian Confluence.
Finding the actual documents you want can be very challenging. This could be the way we have set up Confluence in our instance but it requires a lot of scrolling; [there's]not much of a search ability and is pretty tedious to get documents and files updated.
