Overall, Atlassian Confluence is a user-friendly tool and offers such a vast array of capabilities for project and knowledge management purposes and beyond. Other tools listed above have much more limited capabilities, although they are great tools for very specific needs and …
The alternatives tested are based only on the whiteboarding functionality added by Confluence Whiteboard, and not the core Confluence functionality (documentation).
Atlassian Confluence is a super handy hub for sharing ideas and keeping all your docs in one place. While Jira Service Management is more about handling tickets and support issues, Atlassian Confluence really makes teamwork easy. I feel Atlassian Confluence is user-friendly, …
We choose Atlassian Confluence because it is the reference for managing a SAAS wiki service. And having such a solution in our company to manage the knowledge and especially the knowledge transfer is crucial.
Confluence has a more robust set of capabilities compared to Dovetail and Trello and also was already approved by our legal and compliance teams, so it tends to keep its stickiness due to that. It's also widely known in the market as a knowledge management tool. I would say it …
There are similar products to Confluence - for us, being a big automotive company, it was important that the tool was scalable and easy to roll out to the different departments and branches of the company. Confluence was the best in that regard and was very quickly accepted in …
Organisations might have chosen to Procure Atlassian Confluence because JIRA is integral to software development. Notion or Google Docs do not work seamlessly with JIRA. Also, Atlassian Confluence has a much higher perceived seriousness about a document as compared to Google …
SharePoint is use by our operational teams as it allows team sites to be set up with links heading out to other resources. It is almost like a central hub or intranet. Confluence doesn't quite work in the same way however it does a better job functioning as a knowledge base.
I personally prefer the usage of alternative project management or document storage apps. Atlassian Confluence is useful in having a centralised spot for multiple types of information, as opposed to Trello for example, and is much more structured. However, it has low visual …
The main reason for moving to Atlassian Confluence was for: 1) Having 1 space that holds all of the org's documentation and knowledge sharing 2)We already used JSM and Jira so it would an organic move to have Atlassian Confluence as our main documentation hub 3) The cost …
Atlassian's Confluence and whiteboard is more accessible to cross functional team. I think we just have more user licence compared to what we were allowed for FigJam then Miro.
- FigJam it cost too much and don't have as may functions as Miro - Atlassian is not good of collaboration and doing things in creative way - Mural is very similar to Miro but I prefer Miro it was my first tool
We have all these in place and use Miro on top, besides, as stated before I do not see a need in reducing tools but connecting them better. Ideal situation is done at Confluence and jira. for some of our tasks they are a bit techie driven and therefore we use Miro.
Miro is the more collaborative option, offering the ability for many individuals to work on the same item real-time. Though it does create some duplicate entry, we've found this added cost is minimal compared to the opportunity cost of lost collaboration.
Miro was a big hit with all the teams involved, it was easy to stand up and start using, easy to license, and easy to manage. Other tools offered stronger connections to tools in their product suite without the freedom and ease of use that Miro did.
Miro basically cover the needs of all the other tools. I started using Miro extensively during the pandemic and at that point only Jamboard provided similar options and was free when collaborating in a bigger group and when not everyone had a license. This is still the main …
As I've mentioned, I've used FigJam before. FigJam is better for more detailed and design based ideation workshops. But Miro is better for people without much tech ability.
Jira is actively used in conjunction with Miro to track activities, and it offers functionalities that differ from Miro. However, it is much easier to create tables and diagrams in Miro. The advantage of Jira is that it enables the management of digital projects more …
I find Miro to be more user-friendly than Figma, where we had a very steep learning curve trying to achieve real-time collaboration with both tech and non-tech users. I haven't personally spent a lot of time using that tool or others, however. At this point, I have a strong …
as i said i am a Miro fangirl, so I haven't used the other ones much. to be honest they are all quite similar so to me it's a matter of habit and familiarity
We used Miro first and really liked it as a free product and then made a case for an Enterprise license once we were able to prove out how useful it would be. We didn't really look at other tools other than Mural, but I liked the ease and flow of Miro better.
Miro surpasses Jamboard, Trello, and Zen Mind Map by combining whiteboarding, planning, and mind mapping in one platform. Miro offers real-time collaboration, templates, and integrations make it ideal for cross-functional teams. I chose Miro for its flexibility, visual …
It's challenging to describe how Miro stacks up against every other product listed above. Some are more relevant at different stages of the design realisation journey, some are more hyperfocused to certain usecases.
Trello for example; I found myself creating Kanban boards in …
Speed, intuitivness, collaboration aspects of Miro particularly during the meetings are way beyond to competitors. Its indeed a one platform which I use daily, as a Software Architect where I'm every day work with my peers in design or process discussion Miro is invaluable. It …
Miro does everything I need better. I'm not focused on technical diagrams, though I recognize the technical icon library has expanded significantly in Miro.
Atlassian Confluence is a great tool for housing important information and resources across the organization, as it's very easy to search and find content across different teams and departments. The search function is mostly very accurate and the additional tagging with keywords also helps in the search experience. It's also good at tagging other team members, which triggers an automated email to them. Atlassian Confluence also has an extensive template library for all kinds of purposes like project management, etc., which saves time overall.
I remember a project where all our different teams were involved in it. I created a board with timelines, KPIs, and customer journey stages, and each team added their input live. We were all able to work together in real time, view the entire project, and leave comments without switching apps, which is why it worked fantastically for us. Everyone benefited from the hours of time it saved, and we made a good profit on that project, for which I was named employee of the month.
Its integration with Jira for tracking development and the bugs and work linked to detailed Confluence documentation.
We use it extensively for writing Software Product Requirement Documents, feature specs, architecture designs, and retrospectives.
Our company follows compliance very seriously, so it helps in streamlining all documentation for ISO27001/27017 compliance and security-related information.
Its integration with various tools allows us to create flow diagrams which are often required to make client and customer understand the overall flow of interactions across various modules of the design architecture
When using the find functionality to locate an item in a Miro board, I do not like that it keeps my previous searched term. Other programs, like Excel, do this but they have it so that you can easily overwrite the previously-searched term.
It would be helpful if you could search by a particular frame, instead of the entire board. For our quarterly backlog review, we often have items that carry over, so there are duplicates on the board. Being able to search by a frame would make this easier.
Understanding who can access a board is not always clear to me.
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.
I have advocate for the renew of Miro quite few times, however, it is not under my control as the decision is made in another team with their own budget. I would buy for my own entrepreneur projects (1-2 members) as I do know the value and work there 100%. So, I would pay out of my own pocket to get the value. However, If I wouldn't know the value it provides, it would be hard to decide with the current freemium features
It's very intuitive for most things, making it easy to jump in and start creating pages and collaborating. This makes it ideal for onboarding new members to the team. There are a few areas that could be a little smoother, but overall it's a great experience.
The platform is flexible, easy to use, and simple because Miro is a great visualization tool that makes it easy to collaborate on creating charts. It helps in creating workflows and other designs easily and securely. It supports integrations with major cloud storage solutions and office suites. On top of that, it provides a decent free plan, which is sufficient for basic usage.
I only give a 9/10 because of the speed at which it loads. I have never experienced issues with Miro logging me out early, or some other technical issue causing the program to crash, or even it just loading in perpetuity without ever actually coming up (unlike other programs such as SFDC). It take a minute for all of my boards to come up after I click on it in my favorites, but besides that, it's all good.
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.
Sometimes it gets quite slow and there is a correlation between this and the size of the board. Hence we are trying to segment the boards based on product stages or projects so that the size doesn't go big. When you go from discovery to delivery on a simple board, it will get large and difficult to load, even crash or go white screen
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.
We have never reached out to or contacted support because Miro's platform has been incredibly intuitive and user-friendly. The comprehensive resources available, such as tutorials, documentation, and community forums, have provided all the guidance we needed. The seamless integration with our existing tools and the reliability of the platform have ensured that we rarely encounter issues that require external assistance. This self-sufficiency has allowed us to focus more on our projects and collaboration without interruptions. Overall, our experience with Miro has been smooth and efficient, eliminating the need for additional support
There was a series of webinars which Miro hosted with our organization that went over the basics, then progressively became more advanced with additional sections. The instructors were knowledgeable, and provided examples throughout the sessions, as well as answered peoples' questions. There was ample time and experience on the calls to cover a range of topics. The instructors were also very friendly and sociable, as well as honest. Of course Miro isn't a "God-tool" that does absolutely everything, but the instructors were aware and emphasized the strengths where Miro had them and sincerely accepted feedback.
Easy to learn, Miro has a series of videos on YouTube that effectively taught this program to my team members and me. The program is drag-and-drop and works excellently. People pick up on how to use it efficiently, and it's great for organizing ideas more freely. This product is more challenging for some older audiences who are not accustomed to using a touchpad, but for most, it was very easy to use.
Atlassian Confluence is a super handy hub for sharing ideas and keeping all your docs in one place. While Jira Service Management is more about handling tickets and support issues, Atlassian Confluence really makes teamwork easy. I feel Atlassian Confluence is user-friendly, integrates smoothly with other Atlassian tools, and helps everyone stay in sync. It's great for brainstorming, and project planning as well. Overall, it is a great way to boost collaboration and ensure all team members are on the same page.
Miro is the more collaborative option, offering the ability for many individuals to work on the same item real-time. Though it does create some duplicate entry, we've found this added cost is minimal compared to the opportunity cost of lost collaboration.
Miro is great for scaling. In every department and subdivision across my entire organization, there is someone using it. From Sales to marketing, to manufacturing and operations; and even in legal and finance, there isn't a process or a department that is not using Miro, and if they aren't, they're missing out! Even at the highest to the lowest levels of the organization, it is essential for virtual collaboration.
Merging instances has saved search time - We used to have several instances of Atlassian Confluence, which means they're separate and so can't communicate with each other. We've since merged into one instance and now with the help of the search feature can find the documents you're looking for in seconds rather than several minutes.
Cross linking product assets streamlines following paper trails - Being able to click on a BitBucket link from a Confluence page which then links to a JIRA ticket means you can follow paper trails really easily; seconds rather than several minutes.
