People that support Confluence and JIRA, is it supposed to be this slow?

For years, I have been fighting a battle to get our documentation off of Sharepoint and onto a Wiki. Well, last year, they finally deployed JIRA and Confluence.

The problem I am having is that Confluence is slow. Like, slow enough that no one wants to use it. I have read in other threads that Confluence and JIRA are memory hogs and you just need to throw a lot of RAM at it. Is this accurate, or is the product just slow because it's slow? Is it possible to get MedaiWiki-like performance out of Confluence?

Hi Ryan

i think 

https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/server-hardware-requirements-guide-30736403.html and

https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/infrastructure-recommendations-for-enterprise-confluence-instances-on-aws-965544795.html

are good places to start getting information on sizing options.

Hope that hels

Cheers
