content: I've never been 'Influenced' by 'Alsatians', in fact I prefer 'Cats'....(Sorry mate... I deserve to be shot for that!!!...)(I noticed you have removed the 'body' of your post now).I 'did' look up the websites about that topic, thinking it was a new range of 'software' to replacethe likes of the 'MS Office' Suite etc, but found that it is to do with 'management' across the boardof Projects/Personnel/Status/Planning etc.Apart from many who have not heard of it, "I" think that the majority of 'non-followers' would bethe fact that it is "Cloud-Based". SHARING knowledge in real time between Employees etc is good,but can be done in other ways too, within a Network. I 'THINK' a lot of people today, are not readyto accept a totally 'Cloud-Based' system.

content: I removed it because I found some info, and found the contact to the company and they replied with a lot of detail. It was mostly me just not getting on with their site. Sometimes puzzles are fun, but I've gone tired and quite sour of dealing with the new online look and feel of things.JIRA is the management aspect of their product. I posted here because it is one system used by a lot of companies to help manage the agile development process that is so popular now in software development. I would also expect to find a lot of software developers to have experienced the confluence product.JIRA is used where I work, so Confluence comes up ever so often as a possible solution to developing customer facing content.

content: We just started using JIRA and Confluence, so I'm far from fluent in this. Our Confluence content is not for customer content but rather used for our own KB articles. However, it depends on the definition of 'Customer' of course

content: We used Jira and Confluence at the last place I worked, it was ok although I think I only scratched the surface of what they can do. We used Confluence for all of our internal wiki pages, instructions to bring up new devices, procedures for creating various documentation, that kind of thing.

content: JIRA and Confluence admin here for over 10 years. Run a fucking mile. Expensive to run, impossible to get data out of it cleanly, slow, bloated, buggy and unreliable. Also every time you shove a plug-in up it, it suddenly becomes a subscription option and you either bend over and take it or lose your data.However I can’t think of anything better. It’s a game no one can win.Edit: before using it we used Trac which was near perfect but not enterprisey enough for the company.
