Atlassian Confluence - Excellent tool for collaboration

Overall Satisfaction with Atlassian Confluence

Atlassian Confluence is used in our company to document requirements , test cases and used a repository. In addition all the test results are saved in Atlassian Confluence. We also use create templates in Atlassian Confluence and create Intake for other teams who can fill info and will be used as starting point to start development. This is also our repository to add design documents, mapping specs, maintain team rosters , weekly status reports etc

Pros

  • Easy to create documents for example - Project requirements , test cases
  • Easy to manage all project documents including team Rosters, design docs etc
  • Easy to share project team links with team
  • Easy to create Architectural diagrams
  • Easy to create work flows, algorithms

Cons

  • Wish we can easily manage formatting( fonts)
  • Limit on size of the docs/recording that we can save
  • Wish the administration is easy -not say easy to give Edit/add access to others
  • Easy to create requirements and get approvals from team. See time for documentation going down( by at least 20%) per project
  • It takes lot of time and not user friendly when it document requires formatting with font size, tables etc.
  • Very helpful for creating deployment documents, because we can include related JIRA ID's
This is very easy to use and helps for team collaboration. We use this on daily basis for requirements, tests cases, saving project status, provide deployment documents for operations team , sharing Minutes of meeting, architectural diagrams. Easy to share links with other but not easy to provide access with others The only issue is if any documents requires formatting or creating tables
TopTeam is one tool which is also evaluated while purchasing this. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Atlassian Confluence was rated little higher because it is user friendly, and is easy to integrated with JIRA( which is our project management tool). Easy to draw architecture diagrams. Top team was helpful with creating requirements and would rated higher especially to send documents for approvals/reviews

It would be well suited -To document requirements, to document test cases, to upload weekly reports. My Organization uses JIRA for Project management , so this is easily integrated with JIRA. Wouldn't recommend If the file sizes are huge, if a particular document demands lot of formatting/ creating tables etc.
