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.
It's great for engineering and software teams who need quick access to software notes and details. It is even better if you use other Atlassian products as the idea integration is through other tools by Atlassian.
