Migration from Confluence to Microsoft 365 #SharePoint
I am creating this topic to ask your insights, if any, regarding migration Tools, preferably supported in Europe, that could apply the aforementioned migration.
Moreover, I would be glad if you could share some main pros and cons of Confluence migration into Microsoft 365 or any other similar experience you had with your Knowledge Management System.
Thank you,
Elena

your points are absolutely right. The reason that we want to investigate alternative solutions has to do with cost savings.
The functionalities of SharePoint vs Confluence and the user experience are something that really concerns me.
It would be great if there was someone that could talk about his/her experience in using the SharePoint as Knowledge Management System.
Thank you for your answer, really appreciated.

Here at Northwestern Mutual, we are actual migrating away from SharePoint to the Optimizely CMS solution. There are a number of limitations within SharePoint (especially around data metrics and authoring functionality) that we felt hampered the ability to “right-size” our technical writing staff and drive efficiency.

Hi, I love SharePoint, but I think that is necesary using this platform without or whit lesss programing. Sharepoint is really versatile and adaptable but depends on creativity and flexibility of people.

We do use SharePoint as the core of our Knowledge Management system. However it is also "horses for courses" as some knowledge need not be in SharePoint. For example the knowledge needed by our IT staff is in ServiceNow. The knowledge needed by developers is in GitHub. etc.
Happy to talk to what we have and how we do it. We have robust analytics for knowledge in SharePoint too as evidence helps.

Hi Elena,
As flagged by others, there are two ways of looking at this:
- What is the employee experience you want to provide, not just in terms of the knowledgebase itself, but how it fits in with other digital workplace tools? eg Confluence is extremely good for technical documentation, but not so much for other content; and how does all this sit alongside (or part) of the intranet?
- What are the technology considerations for choosing one product over another? Confluence and SharePoint are apples-and-oranges in comparison, so I'd recommend documenting some brief business requirements, and assessing each option against those (rather than against each other).
These issues and questions are very much the bread-and-butter of the (vendor neutral) work we do, and happy to have an informal chat if that would be useful.
Cheers,
James

I’ve helped customers transition from Confluence to SharePoint. It’s really a lot about what you make of it. I’m happy to answer questions.

Martin –
I think that my observation is that clients are looking at total package cost – including things like the cost of Office and Exchange making M365/O365 including SharePoint a better deal. The result is leveraging SharePoint.
In my experience the number of people needed between SharePoint and Confluence is identical – but I’d love to hear your experience where this is not the case.

Do people here have experience that SharePoint is now less expensive than Confluence? I find this surprising.
Is the cost of staff necessary to run the two platforms being factored in?
I get that Confluence Cloud has seen price increases but Atlassian tends to be cost conscious especially vs other major players.
Thanks, Martin
