Overall Satisfaction with Atlassian Confluence
Our organization utilizes Confluence along with Jira for additional project documentation and collaboration. Details on every part of our projects are captured, stored, and shared using confluence. This includes meeting notes, shared worksheets, requirements documents, system architecture as well as some process and procedures/outcomes of the projects. IT utilizes this system as a required way to store change information for updates and enhancements.
Pros
- Fairly easy to use this product. The UI itself is user-friendly and easy to follow.
- Collaboration and updates are easy to turn on or off.
- The product is very scalable and can capture and organize a lot of data in one place.
Cons
- Some of the options do not always work, this may be local setting but I find the option to edit some documents via Confluence to not always work, and we need to download, update, and then re-upload the document as a new version.
- Where there are a lot of notes and documentation entries it can be difficult to keep track of or sort through everything. How you utilize the program and label things is very important.
- It has worked very well to share documents and requirements across multiple users in multiple locations.
- Helps organize project information/meeting notes/requirements so that we can retrieve these documents at any time.
I am a smart sheet user but I utilize smart sheet for very different projects. I do believe smart sheet has much of the same functionality but I would use it in a very different way. Confluence has more of a web-based dialogue feel, where smart sheet is web-based but still has a very spreadsheet look and feel.
