Overall Satisfaction with Atlassian Confluence

Confluence is used by the whole company as a repository for managing and storing business information. It is a central repository for information that we all use on a daily basis to record ideas, communicate and coordinate product releases and manage business requirements for our development process. We also use Confluence as a way for the tech team to communicate with the business and marketing departments in the company.
  • Full featured
  • Secure
  • JIRA integration
  • Confusing interface
  • Cumbersome workflow
  • Difficult to orientate yourself when creating pages
  • It has helped with communication in a positive way
  • Due to its confusing interface it can be hard for non-technical members of the team to adopt and contribute
  • It is a great central repository of information that the company can refer to whenever requirements need to specc'ed or discussed
Confluence is well suited to large to medium-sized, fragmented companies that are working on multiple complex projects. Less optimal for small teams that have smaller projects because of the amount of bloat. It is also more suited for teams that require a large level of inter-team communication around technical requirements.
