Overall Satisfaction with Atlassian Confluence
Confluence is used to hold documents that are important to various software programs. These include install documents, patch notes, and update information. We use it company-wide and it ensures all information for software is held centrally.
- It accurately displays documents and information well.
- It is easy to upload external files, which is key for installation walk-throughs.
- It is easy to allow manage users and groups to have access to specific areas only.
- I feel the biggest area that is missing is support for more languages for source code.
- Also does not allow you to go through revision history.
- In-line comments for easier modifying would be nice.
- Easier integration with other applications would be nice.
- It's hard to quantify. I believe it has just streamlined existing processes.
- It's made engineers more efficient at working.
- Allows us to ensure documents are always the most up-to-date and ensure no critical errors come from these.
I haven't used any other products like Confluence so I can't comment.
