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 customization that Confluence offers is one of its most useful features. You can customise it based on the specific project you are working on. It also supports multiple languages."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from its document-controlling feature. In Atlassian Confluence, controlled documents cannot be edited by anyone else."
"The scalability is enough for our use cases. It covers all our needs."
"It's easy to use and you can create all types of pages."
"It is just the fact that it is a one-stop shop for all project documentation. It is compared to storing things in files and directories and stuff like that. It provides the overall usability and accessibility of many projects and documents in one area."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features of Atlassian Confluence are version management and search and linkage to the JIRA tickets. They are integrated very well together. You can have links from many places and can easily jump from one to the other. If you want to find all the information about a topic, you only need to click and you receive the information."
"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

"I think that customization and text styling could be improved."
"There could be an option to collaborate with other users while editing the documents."
"You need to buy a full license for your entire organization, even though you only need a plugin for two people."
"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."
"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."
"When we import the data in Confluence from Word or any other document, the formatting is not correct."
"There are some issues with performance when creating tables."
"All of the departments need improvement."
"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 product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning its price falls somewhere in the mid-range zone."
"For us, it's free to use. We don't pay any licensing."
"When you purchase this solution you get some support."
"Making integration with other tools easier would be beneficial."
"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."
"Confluence charges an extra fee for analytics."
"There is a license needed to use Atlassian Confluence."
"The price of the on-premises data center version is too expensive."
