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 trial stages, the ability to connect it to Jira, and the ability to export in PDF are all good capabilities."
"Overall, I love the ability to quickly upload and preview documents."
"It's extremely intuitive."
"It is very easy to use and setup."
"We value the way we can tag documentation to Jira because we can cross-reference a Jira ticket to a Confluence page, and we can also add a Confluence page to a Jira ticket."
"The product is easy to install and set up, and it is also easy to work with as a user, an editor, or as a reader."
"There is a good library of templates for a wide range of needs."
"It's a great wiki and is easy to use."
"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

"The one way in which this solution could be improved is by offering better design and UI."
"The search is pretty terrible. I consistently have a hard time finding the things I care about on our wiki."
"Athlassian Confluence certainly does not save me money with the license fee involved."
"Sometimes the system does not respond as fast as a normal web interface."
"Some elements of the user interface could be more user-friendly, including embedding diagrams."
"There is no concept of peer review or a draft mode - whatever you write is live."
"Atlassian should rethink its withdrawal of the self-hosted version of the product. They only offer cloud-based service or the "datacenter-edition", which is quite expensive for small companies and private users."
"The solution is not very user-friendly."
"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 price of the on-premises data center version is too expensive."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning its price falls somewhere in the mid-range zone."
"There is an annual license."
"For us, it's free to use. We don't pay any licensing."
"Pricing wise, it ends up being an expensive solution. In the beginning it's cheap, but by the time you have all the functions you need, it turns out to be expensive."
"The Confluence pricing is good. The only challenge we have experienced is with Jira and the add ons we use that need to be paid for separately."
"We have a site license for Atlassian Confluence and there are some limitations on external users."
