Overall Satisfaction with Atlassian Confluence

Up until recently, my only interaction with Confluence was through clients that used it. I would typically access designs or mock ups within Confluence. Internally, we have used Jira for a long time, but always used other tools for project asset organization/reference. We made the move to Confluence within the last couple of months in order to make things easier to between project management and asset organization as Confluence and Jira work directly with one another.
  • Organizes and stores project assets, especially development/stage/build credentials across many different projects
  • Links with Jira quite seamlessly
  • So far it has ben relatively easy to find different types of assets across different projects as compared to our previous tools
  • Onboarding was not very intuitive
  • I am still unsure how to use the calendar feature
  • The "popular" feature doesn't fit my needs as I am consistently jumping across projects and really don't care what is popular.
  • I work on many different projects at the same time, and it has been easier to find certain assets/documents than previous tools we have used.
  • It has especially allowed me to work much more efficiently with our design team as I don't have to constantly bother them for design updates
  • From a overall business perspective, it is still too early to tell what the ROI is, but I believe it will be positive.
Confluence is ideal if your organization already uses Jira as the two work seamlessly together, although I am still new to cross over and haven't figured out all the linking capabilities yet. Confluence seems to fit well within organizations that need to share numerous assets, and thoughts around those assets, across large project teams in order to streamline project management.
