Overall Satisfaction with Atlassian Confluence
My organization uses Atlassian Confluence company-wide as our internal wiki platform. Confluence has moved a formerly silo'd company culture into a more collaborative and visible one. We use the platform to share knowledge, create new content, and manage projects and activities
- Confluence provides the ability to any employee to create content as they see fit, democratizing the content creation process
- The parent and child relationships between pages makes organizing your content much easier.
- If you're also using JIRA as your task management software, the native integration allows you to work in both systems and share content and data between the two, seamlessly.
- The lack of a defined workflow in Confluence is problematic as it could create a wild west for content creation and management
- Confluence does not play well with Microsoft generated documents like word and excel
- The lack of true page print functionality is a glaring gap in the product. Printing through your browser loses most of the beautiful formatting that is native to Confluence.
- Confluence has increased cross-departmental visibility into content, activities, and projects
- Confluence has also increased collaboration across teams
- The lack of a workflow has created a wild west environment where stakeholders are confused of where to create and find various types of content
I did not have a say in selecting Confluence and therefore, did not conduct a thorough evaluation of similar platforms
