Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"What's most valuable to me in Atlassian Confluence is that it allows the concurrent development of documentation. I also like how you can add comments offline and implement changes directly on the document.""The most valuable features are the ease of creating documentation, as well as charts.""I like the documentation. It's a central platform, and there are many things that I can do with it. I'm very pleased about it.""We value the way we can tag documentation to Jira because we can cross-reference a Jira ticket to a Confluence page, and we can also add a Confluence page to a Jira ticket.""The interface is good....I didn't face any issues with the scalability. It was very good.""The solution is stable.""The most valuable features is its design documentation abilities.""With respect to our experiences with Confluence, we haven't had any issues."

"It is good for big projects.""You can build websites on it very quickly.""We use a part of the solution called Acquia. The personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect fo the solution.""The feature I find most valuable is that Drupal is a framework and not only a CMS."

Cons
"The product is considered expensive.""I think the couple of improvement areas would be around Markdown support and support for adding code.""There is no concept of peer review or a draft mode - whatever you write is live.""The UX is a little bit all over the place.""We would like there to be more advanced data manipulation features available in this solution, such as creating more complex charts, and a column freezing option.""There needs to be a flexible pricing model, where we can pick and choose services and customize our pricing model.""The standard table capability is substandard and virtually unusable.""I have a couple of different pipelines that I work with. However, I'd like to see them displayed differently on the same dashboard. So, I would like to have a unified dashboard to view the different pipelines."

More Atlassian Confluence Cons →

"It is a little bit simplified.""Digital experience features like target, segmentation, and campaign management have a long way to go.""The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful.""I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems."

This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a round-up of a couple of the more well known platforms and compare their products to Drupal. In this roundup we will be comparing Jive, Sharepoint and Drupal Commons. Drupal Commons is a popular distribution created by Acquia to compete with some of these other proprietary platforms. There are many other options out there, commercial and otherwise, to compare with Drupal but I want to focus on Jive and Sharepoint for a couple of reasons. I chose Jive because it is one of the leading competitors in this space in respect to market share. Next, I chose Sharepoint because I have some history with Sharepoint. This experience dates back to when I built www.adhe.edu with Sharepoint 2007 a few years ago. I subsequently wrote this blog entry about my experience shortly after joining Mediacurrent. This roundup will also act as a refresher for those who read my original “Drupal vs. Sharepoint” blog. Yammer, which was recently bought by Microsoft and is the tool we currently use for office communication will also get some mentions throughout this article. As I went through and tested each of these tools I used three main criteria in my evaluation Cost Ability to Customize Overall features… Read more →
    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:Atlassian Confluence is flexible and allows adding different types of context on the page and connecting a hypertext, like a web page, without a source.
