    Likelihood to Recommend
    Atlassian
    I would recommend Atlassian Confluence for companies that want to have internal documentation and minimum governance processes to ensure documentation is useful and doesn't have a lot of duplicated and non-updated content. I wouldn't recommend Atlassian Confluence for companies with a low budget since this product might be a little costly (especially with add-ons).

    Great for financial institutions. Integrates well with the Fiserv Premier suite. Easily imports bank reports that are generated from the Fiserv Core banking system. Would like to see more dynamic of purging documents automatically. Would like to see more functionality that is native to the Fiserv Premier application rather than having to purchase additional modules to expand its functionality.

    Pros
    Atlassian
    • Cross product linking - If you use other Atlassian products then Atlassian Confluence is a no-brainer for your source of documentation, knowledge management etc. You can show previews of the linked asset natively E.g. showing a preview of a JIRA ticket in a Atlassian Confluence page.
    • Simple editing - Though the features available may not be super complex right now, this does come with the benefit of making it easy to edit and create documents. Some documentation editors can be overwhelming, Atlassian Confluence is simple and intuitive.
    • Native marketplace - If you want to install add-ons to your Atlassian Confluence space it's really easy. Admins can explore the Atlassian marketplace natively and install them to your instance in a few clicks. You can customise your Atlassian Confluence instance in many different ways using add-ons.

    Cons
    Atlassian
    • UI Design is very simplistic and basic could make use of more visually interesting colour choices, layout choices, etc.
    • Under the 'Content' menu, it defaults to having a landing page for all L1 and L2 category pages. Meaning as long as the broader content category has a sub-category, it still creates a separate landing page. In my team's case, this often creates blank pages, as we only fill out the page at the lowest sub-category (L3).
    • Hyperlinks are traditionally shown as blue, however, this results into very monotonously blue pages in cases where a lot of information is being linked.

    • More refined configuration of when to purge documents (ex. would like to see the ability to more dynamically purge documents such as the ability to purge documents x number of years after a loan has been paid in full).
    • Include functionality that is native to the application without having to pay for additional modules (ex. ability to configure automatic importing of PDFs without using an index file requires a separate PDF Data Input Filter module).
    • Would like to see the ability to automatically populate the Institution number in Director Unity Client.
    • Would like to have seen Fiserv move off Internet Explorer faster than it has. Workflows will only appear as an option in Web Director if used in Internet Explorer.

    I am confident that Atlassian can come with additional and innovative macros and functions to add value to Confluence. In 6 months, Atlassian transformed a good collaborative tools into a more comprehensive system that can help manage projects and processes, as well as "talk" with other Atlassian products like Jira. We are in fact learning more about Jira to evaluate a possible fit to complement our tool box.

    Usability
    Atlassian
    Great for organizing knowledge in a hierarchical format. Seamless for engineering and product teams managing software development. Helps in formatting pages effectively, reducing manual work. Tracks changes well and allows for easy rollbacks. Granular controls for who can view/edit pages. Search function is not great which needs improvement. Hire some google engineers

    Performance
    Atlassian
    We never worked against the tide while using Confluence. Everything loads considerably fast, even media components like videos (hosted on the platform or embed external videos from Youtube, for example). We are not using heavy media components a lot, but in the rare occasion we happen to use one we have no problems whatsoever.

    Atlassian
    This rating is specifically for Atlassian's self-help documentation on their website. Often times, it is not robust enough to cover a complex usage of one of their features. Frequently, you can find an answer on the web, but not from Atlassian. Instead, it is usually at a power user group elsewhere on the net.

    Implementation Rating
    Atlassian
    Overall, I am very satisfied with the initial implementation (and the subsequent upgrades and implementations made over the years).
    This product has never rose to the level of being an major issue at an executive level. It has quietly and valiantly done it's job for our company!

    Alternatives Considered
    Atlassian
    We chose Atlassian Confluence over SharePoint because it's much more user-friendly and intuitive. Atlassian Confluence makes collaboration and knowledge sharing easier with its simpler interface and better search. While SharePoint can be powerful, it often feels clunky and complex, making it harder for our team to actually use it.

    We selected Director because it easily integrates with Fiserv Premier core banking system. We have been using Fiserv Director for over 12 years. We haven't evaluated alternatives since moving to Fiserv Director. We did use Metaviewer prior to Fiserv Director which didn't have nearly as much functionality as Director.

    This tool is very adaptable. So much so we use it for three completely separate projects, in three very different ways.

    Return on Investment
    Atlassian
    • The AI feature which lets me find relevant documents while reading one document is really beneficial.
    • Centralising of knowledge systems is one of the key differentiators for large organisations.
    • As long as folks keep using Google Docs and Atlassian Confluence, there is going to be a challenge in building a continuum.
