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

"The most valuable feature of Atlassian Confluence is the ability to access your files from anywhere."
"Confluence essentially handles all of that, which means companies without the means for a dedicated document controller can still implement a QMS, and companies with a document controller benefit from the added efficiencies."
"I'd say in the knowledge management space, as far as we've been doing our business, and our job is to find tools for organizations, I'm convinced that this is the top product in this space."
"The solution is stable."
"Pricing is not a problem."
"Overall, I love the ability to quickly upload and preview documents."
"Availability of documents hosted in confluence very easily."
"Copying another page and providing an option to edit everything is valuable."
"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

"Atlassian Confluence should improve the interface, it needs to be more user-friendly. It is easy to use, but it could be more intuitive."
"RAM usage seems to be higher than it should be."
"Some elements of the user interface could be more user-friendly, including embedding diagrams."
"The UI is good but bland. It could be updated a bit to make it more modern and interesting to look at."
"Indentation and other basic word processing styles must be improved."
"Managing user permissions and credentials could be easier."
"I think the user interface could be more graphically pleasing, as well as establishing permissions across various spaces and user levels a bit clearer."
"Deployment can be painful when you have to deal with different Java versions or keystores."
"The API is awful."
"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)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license."
"Maybe we're only using 10% of it, but we have to pay for everything."
"We have a site license for Atlassian Confluence and there are some limitations on external users."
"There is a license needed to use Atlassian Confluence."
"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."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning its price falls somewhere in the mid-range zone."
"The price of the on-premises data center version is too expensive."
"Licenses are quite expensive"
