We're using [Atlassian] Confluence as a repository for internal documentation and engineering documentation. It's used across the whole company but mostly our developers and engineers are using it on a regular basis. [Atlassian] Confluence addresses the challenges of keeping an organization's documentation in one neat place that's easily accessible.

Alternatives Considered

Jira Software

Nothing that I've used has matched [Atlassian] Confluence, however I've seen a ton of advertisements for ClickUp across the country this year and I think they might be a serious competitor. BUT I hear [Atlassian] Confluence mentioned on NPR quite often.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great enterprise software
