Should we switch all document management to Confluence from Teams?

[Mark.Bruneman]

Management is asking the question:

1. Is Confluence a good choice for document management?
2. Is it better than TEAMS?
3. Will it be easier to find documents in Confluence than TEAMS?
4. If Confluence is better, is there guidance on how to proceed?

Hi @Mark.Bruneman ,

Would start first on what is requirements the team is looking for in a document management tool?

1. Possibly if looking for collaborative documentation.

2. Not sure if teams is the way to go. Usually, it organize based not the channels. Possible Sharepoint maybe something better to use if using Microsoft.

3. I find it easier to find documents but what I find it comes down to organization. How its organize is crucial. Otherwise, folks are relying on search to give you the exact results based on keywords which is no always the case.

4. I would sign up for a free account on cloud and try it out with a few stakeholders to see if it meets all your needs.

Do what best fit your organization needs. Also, if you have already existing Atlassian tools like Jira, Confluence is a really good option since it has built in integration.
