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 solution helped us to see where we were going wrong and where we were doing good, and that helped us to make proper decisions"
"I think that it is one of the best products on the market from my experience."
"Our company is using Atlassian Confluence for all work related to documentation, calendars, notes, organization of processes, and workflows."
"It integrates well with other Atlassian products"
"The solution is very intuitive and provides excellent content management."
"I love the reports and the Confluence board."
"The best feature is the automatic tagging of information in documents."
"Provides wiki features such as file collaboration."
"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

"There needs to be a flexible pricing model, where we can pick and choose services and customize our pricing model."
"It would be interesting if they had graphical templates that allowed typical agile ceremonies to be documented better."
"The software does not currently have any kind of AI integration."
"The area that needs improvement is the search capability. It should have generalized capabilities."
"The standard table capability is substandard and virtually unusable."
"I'd like to see some improved reporting on usage."
"There is a holiday calendar, however, I need to install an app or add something to it. The add-on feature is not readily available or well-documented."
"Customer Service: As an Enterprise Customer the service is not sufficient. Our concerns are not being addressed."
"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

"There is a license needed to use Atlassian Confluence."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Confluence charges an extra fee for analytics."
"The issues I have with the pricing are in respect to the add-ons."
"For us, it's free to use. We don't pay any licensing."
