GM at a real estate/law firm with 501-1,000 employees
Collaborative workspace has improved cross-team documentation and now supports structured projects
Much of the room for improvement lies not with the tool itself but with how people are using it. In many cases where we have had issues, it has been based on the lack of structure. The company using Atlassian Confluence needs to have a very clear structure for where information will be organized. As I mentioned, we have subsections that contain the same information, which makes searching problematic. When you search for a project, you suddenly get fifteen pages about the same project, which does not make sense. A lot of these issues lie with the site owner who needs to be more structured in their usage of the tool. Atlassian Confluence is used during meetings, especially during product evaluations where we work on collaborative projects. We also use it as a note dashboard for brainstorming and similar activities.

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

"Confluence has saved time in finding information, reduced the on-boarding time, improved provisioning of repeatable scripted operational process, provided a central point for knowledge sharing and supplied better retention of Intellectual Property."
"Confluence is the BEST wiki on the market."
"What I find the most valuable about Confluence is how easy it is to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from its document-controlling feature. In Atlassian Confluence, controlled documents cannot be edited by anyone else."
"We switched because it was the better product for a lesser price."
"At the moment, Atlassian Confluence is the best team product you can buy."
"The solution offers a lot of freedom when drafting directly online."
"The most valuable feature of Atlassian Confluence is it's very easy to use and there are different options."
"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

"It is not as professional as FrameMaker. Confluence is light and very convenient, but it is difficult to reuse the same content and its format is not as flexible as FrameMaker."
"This is kind of by design, however, the lack of control in terms of editing the page to make it look the way you want it to look is an issue. It would be nice if there was more flexibility there."
"When you are creating a table in Confluence, there is no tool to export it into Excel sheet for quick references. We can only export it as an a PDF file, but not into an editable file."
"The flexibility and simplicity of this solution could be improved. We would also like the ability to add plugins."
"The logic for searching for pages is a bit off. It turns out that the searching algorithms are very basic."
"Confluence textual editor could be improved and integrated with MS Word for easy usage and better formatting of documents."
"Deployment can be painful when you have to deal with different Java versions or keystores."
"There is no concept of peer review or a draft mode - whatever you write is live."
"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

"Making integration with other tools easier would be beneficial."
"Maybe we're only using 10% of it, but we have to pay for everything."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning its price falls somewhere in the mid-range zone."
"Licenses are quite expensive"
"This is a very expensive solution."
"I am using the paid version. My company has purchased it for company employees. We are using Confluence as a company. I don't know how much it costs, but its price is good enough. Its price is not so high."
"The issues I have with the pricing are in respect to the add-ons."
"In my opinion, it's worth the investment"
