Confluence

Features Administer

Powerful, simple admin. No geniuses required.

Your Confluence, your way

The first test of any application is how quickly you can get up and running, and Confluence gives you two very easy options:

Sign up and go
For ultimate ease of use, simply sign up to Confluence Hosted — no installation required!

Download and run
If you prefer to run your applications in-house, just download and install Confluence and you can be up and running in minutes.

Whichever way you choose to implement Confluence, all your users can access it through their web browser — no special software needed.

"Given that I am an administrator, I really like that Confluence is so easy to install and use." Mingyi Liu at GPC Biotech
 

Enterprise strength

Confluence is designed for the enterprise environment, offering support for:

  • LDAP — for integration with existing user stores, such as Active Directory
  • SSL — for secure data transmission
  • Clustering — for load balancing and high availability
  • Industry-standard databases — including Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL

Robust backup

Set up daily automated backups or run them when required. Should you ever need to restore your Confluence data from a backup, you will find it's a simple task.

Restore

Backups are also a useful way to move your data from one Confluence site to another — even if you are using a completely different database.

For maximum accessibility, Confluence backs up to an open XML format.

Migrate with ease

To enable quick migration from other wikis, the Confluence Universal Wiki Converter can import your existing content (including formatting) from TWiki, Mediawiki, JotSpot and more.

At your fingertips

Everything you need to manage your Confluence site is available through Confluence's web interface: no messing with configuration files or scripts required. Administration options include:
