It is like Sharepoint from a technical point of view with the significant difference being that it does not suck monkey balls. Re: No (Score: 1) by billshooterofbul@pipedot.org on 2015-09-04 20:56 (#KFJC) Hmm... Haven't used share-point. Must be terrible if Confluence is that much better by comparison. Re: No (Score: 0) by Anonymous Coward on 2015-09-05 05:33 (#KGCQ) I admin both. SharePoint has its points. It can be useful. Once you customise past the out of the box it can be horrible. OTOH if you don't get apps for it then the functionality is quite limited. The plugin interface and controls are woeful. Development for can be terrible. If a third year group presented sharepoint as their final year project I would give them highest marks. In the real world, it is very lacking. Sharepoint 2013 is 10 years behind where it should be. And yes, when your wiki gets big enough and complicated enough you need something better like Confluence. If you want to try this for yourself then download a trial version of Windows Server 2012R2 and Sharepoint Foundation and SQL Server Express, install Sharepoint then know this yourself. Alternatively, several places offer Sharepoint instances. Microsoft Azure for a start. I suggest installing it yourself. Then you can roll around in the delight that is Sharepoint from the ground up. Why the dislike of Confluence? Because they took away wiki markup?
