Disappointed to see price increases two years in a row. Also irritating that they only reference their new prices in their tables instead of actually telling you what the amount or percentage change in pricing is.
We're organising a meeting in our company to decide what plan of action to take; I beleive not renewing in favour of an alternative solution is being put on the table .
My org is a month away from launching our new intranet based on Atlassian. Based on our projected 50-100% increase in costs, I now have to recommend we re-evaluate launching and explore alternatives. Sigh. I so wanted to like Atlassian....
We (company with some thousands of employees in Germany) are using 2 Atlassian Confluence licenses (one internally, one externally) since 2006.
The price increase of the last years for self-managed Confluence commercial server product (source: Seibert Media):
August 2016 > an average increase of 15% for Confluence
October 2017 > an average increase of 12% for all Atlassian products
October 2018 > an increase of 15% to 25% for all Server and Cloud products
October 2019 > New licenses on Server will increase between 40% and 320%
In our eyes, it's gonna be a show stopper. We are using SharePoint in parallel too. I guess we really have to rethink if we will still use Conflunece in the next view years.
