Manage projects effectively with seamless task tracking and integration, but deployment requires familiarity
We are conducting all our project management using Atlassian tools. We use Atlassian Confluence for task management, reporting, visualization of tasks, and reviewing the progress of tickets and work I use Atlassian Confluence for task management and other project management tasks, such as…

The gaps in the API are filled by our own R+D and the publish mechanism is very reliable.
The API is awful. We needed to develop a batch load tool in order to send automated events to Tibber API. The current API version is not well documented, i.e. the current version of the API in the software doesn't correspond to the web-documented API. We had to imagine parameters and names. We had difficulty making it all work, as the login/SSO mechanism was not properly explained so that we could perform external logins to the API and use their features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This document collaboration platform makes it flexible to reach your documents at any time, with no time or location limitation, so you can access your documents whenever and wherever you want."
"The most valuable feature of Atlassian Confluence is the ability to access your files from anywhere."
"Provides wiki features such as file collaboration."
"Our company is using Atlassian Confluence for all work related to documentation, calendars, notes, organization of processes, and workflows."
"The linkage between the different Atlassian products is what I find most valuable, as you can easily link Atlassian Confluence into a Jira ticket, which allows for a quick overview when you are in the ticket system and the ability to quickly dive deeper into the Wiki directly."
"Documenting everything related to the project is good for me. It enables me to use rich text to document, insert macros and links, highlight with different colors, and organize pages in a hierarchical way."
"It is easy to use."
"The interesting thing is the connector between Jira and Confluence (it works wiki-like and provides a deep-connection with links between both systems)."
"The gaps in the API are filled by our own R+D and the publish mechanism is very reliable."
"Typically the classical ROI is about seven months from full deployment, but there are a lot of benefits that we can't measure with this metric, like more dissemination of knowledge, fast internal expert finding, less internal emails, less waste of time, and better employee engagement."
 

Cons

"Maybe we're only using 10% of it, but we have to pay for everything."
"I would like to see integration with Slack."
"I would like Confluence to include the ability to draw flowcharts and diagrams."
"It would be interesting if they had graphical templates that allowed typical agile ceremonies to be documented better."
"Customer service: I would give them a rating of 7/10. The technical support was helpful."
"Concerning the integration capabilities of Atlassian Confluence with Jira, I find it surprisingly simple, meaning it does not really have powerful features in it, but it is easy to set up."
"There are some issues with performance when creating tables."
"Basically, Confluence is heavily text-based."
"More customizable features, particularly in mobile app; better preview of document and images stored in other cloud services (like Google Drive, Dropbox and so on)."
"The API is awful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a very expensive solution."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning its price falls somewhere in the mid-range zone."
"In my opinion, it's worth the investment"
"There is a license needed to use Atlassian Confluence."
"The issues I have with the pricing are in respect to the add-ons."
"We pay $350 a month to use the solution."
"We have a site license for Atlassian Confluence and there are some limitations on external users."
"To my knowledge, Atlassian Confluence had a pricing approach which is a commercial open-source solution, so that if you are a company, you had to pay an amount. This fee was not huge compared to other traditional solutions, and it was free for personal use or if you were an individual."
