My employer (large Fortune 500) recently "soft banned" Confluence and Jira, meaning groups already utilizing it can stay on it until our enterprise license runs out at the end of the yearly support contract. At first I thought it was really stupid decision as Confluence, at least, is fantastic product and Sharepoint/Notes (the enterprise replacement solution) is a horrid alternative. One of the admins said there were licensing issues that drove the decision. I figured someone was just being cheap but I bet this was the reason.
- pldr1234 6y agoHow did Confluence and Sharepoint compare? I'm curious (For context: I've only ever worked in BigCo's that used Confluence).
- RoyTyrell 6y agoSorry for the late reply. Sharepoint is god awful for anything Confluence is good at - namely being a wiki aimed at technical documentation. OneNote is a little better but even the online OneNote isn't great great, and both are a few steps backward in functionality.
