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

"The interface is good....I didn't face any issues with the scalability. It was very good."
"Provides wiki features such as file collaboration."
"Confluence allows creating new documentation very fast, which allowed us to organize our self-written documentation in a very efficient way."
"The scalability is enough for our use cases. It covers all our needs."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create business collaboration solutions without having an army of IT professionals."
"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."
"I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"The gaps in the API are filled by our own R+D and the publish mechanism is very reliable."
 

Cons

"Confluence textual editor could be improved and integrated with MS Word for easy usage and better formatting of documents."
"The solution is not very user-friendly."
"Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
"JIRA and Confluence connectivity needs to be stabilized. We've faced embarrassing situations with stakeholders when the Confluence pages could not pull the list of JIRAs to be referenced on the page."
"The software does not currently have any kind of AI integration. Given that many platforms are now incorporating AI, I believe Confluence should also consider AI integration."
"Some aspects of the drawing perspective could be improved."
"Reporting on content usage info and patterns is completely missing and would be a great addition."
"The standard table capability is substandard and virtually unusable."
"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

"The issues I have with the pricing are in respect to the add-ons."
"In my opinion, it's worth the investment"
"We have a site license for Atlassian Confluence and there are some limitations on external users."
"Maybe we're only using 10% of it, but we have to pay for everything."
"There is a license needed to use Atlassian Confluence."
"For us, it's free to use. We don't pay any licensing."
"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."
"We have to pay licensing fees."
