Overall Satisfaction with Atlassian Confluence
At my current company different teams have some freedom to choose organizational tools as they see fit. I have used Confluence for the most part of the year, as part of a new product development engagement in the software engineering department of one of our consumer brands. In this particular project it is used as an agile communication and collaborative documentation tool.
- Larger teams working in complex projects
- Cross functional communication with multiple departments
- General usability
- Smaller projects might suffer from a large overhead due to the particularities of the tool
- It was not easy for me to liberate the data (export it to my computer)
We mostly used Alfresco as a central content repository system (write once, read many) versus Confluence for team collaboration tool (write many, read many). Whereas Alfresco is simpler to use and admin, it lacks the powerful team syncing features that make Confluence strong
