Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Wiki is a good solution for non-tech writers."
"Meetings are registered in Confluence, allowing easy access on what had been discussed and the to-do lists."
"It integrates well with other Atlassian products"
"The sharing of information and simple formatting are valuable features. That is, there are no templates, and everything uses one format. This means that people don't need to worry about formatting."
"The best feature is document management."
"It has a very intuitive user interface, which every user able to manage the basic functionality of a PC will be able to work with and produce quite satisfactory results."
"It is a good collaboration tool; you share the document content and also its history through Atlassian Confluence so that you can trace its development."
"The most valuable integration feature between JIRA and Confluence was being able to easily link Jira tickets to Confluence pages and vice-versa."
"MangoApps is my go-to recommendation for sole proprietorships, startups, SMBs, or even established companies who need a one-stop-shop for communication, filesharing, knowledge base management, and project management."
"The ability to have a box storage feature supporting each community page is the most valuable feature, i.e., similar to what we already know."
 

Cons

"When editing a page with many iterations, it takes time to scroll down to the last iteration."
"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."
"Working with 3rd party content i.e. MS Office, PDF files, email integration."
"The user interface is a little bit stale. The file attachments and how they work could be improved. There is also room for improvement when it comes to CDNs."
"I'd like to see some improved reporting on usage."
"The standard table capability is substandard and virtually unusable."
"RAM usage seems to be higher than it should be."
"Confluence's scalability is okay, but you have some performance problems when you're working with too many people."
"The ability to work on the documents themselves, without having to download and re-upload is needed."
"It doesn't have the most professional sounding name... but then again, I don't know that the name of a solution should be a factor in your decision making."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are some cases where you can go on Confluence as a public site without a license, but you will not have all of the features. You can also have a Confluence site that does not require a license just to read the articles. When you have Jira Service Management attached to Confluence, then you can go through the portal of Jira Service Management and read the Confluence articles without the license. This is good because when you are in an ITSM environment, you have many customers, and you do not want them to have to pay just to read articles. Regarding the use of the full features of Confluence, there is a license cost, and it depends on how many users you want."
"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."
"Maybe we're only using 10% of it, but we have to pay for everything."
"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."
"We have to pay licensing fees."
"There is an annual license."
"Confluence charges an extra fee for analytics."
"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."
