Overall Satisfaction with Atlassian Confluence
Atlassian Confluence is the central repository of knowledge. Everything from scripts for new employee setup, to Team organization, and even project progress are all in one place. Personal notes and tips and tricks are also common to find. Because it is the central repository it has been broken up into sections for different parts of the company. This has issues because many of the sections are difficult to figure out what they were called, but beneficial because it is easy to link across departments.
- Maintain historical links even if pages move
- Responsive
- Good Plugin infrastructure
- In my opinion, permissions model is unpleasant
- In my opinion, automation with anything that isn't an Atlassian product extraordinarily difficult
- In my experience, it doesn't support current standards very well (Markdown, importing HTML)
- In my opinion, search is almost useless
- Scalability
- Integration with JIRA
- Permissions
- The ability to cross link information in the company is priceless, but in my experience the complicated permission structure means that a lot of that information is put where the user has permissions instead of the location. In my opinion, the search is awful so a lot of that information will never be found again. It is a real mixed bag.
