Icon-thread a reply to Confluence vs. SocialText

Mike, thanks for taking a look at Confluence. Feature comparisons are great, but as you point out in the comments, they don't always give the full story. That's esp. true for Confluence. As food for thought, here is a fantastic 2-part case study written by one of our customers about how they're using Confluence, how it's been successful, and what they've learned along the way. I think it gives a good picture of Confluence's flexibility.

There are more case studies on our site, and I have links to other case studies written by customers, too, if you're interested. 

Cheers,

Jon

    Contributions like yours are exactly why we (BSG Alliance) like working "out in the open".  We'll certainly take a long look and get back to you if we've any questions or followup.

      Yep, glad to jump into the conversation. Am happy to help answer questions... or at least point you to someone more knowledgeable and less technically inept than myself ;)

        Hi Jon - thanks for joining the conversation. I'm really enjoying the evaluation so far. Kudos to your development team regarding the great docs and all-around technical implementation of the user-install solution. I had it up and running on one of our linux boxes in less than an hour. Quite a feat!

        I did have a technical question that I couldn't find an answer to on the site or in the docs that I'm hoping you can help answer. What's the Single Sign On solution for Confluence, especially in regards to the web services interface? Since it's likely that for whichever wiki solution we choose we'll be strenuously exercising the WS APIs in terms of integration, SSO is vital for us. I'm hoping we don't have to implement the server-side solution ourselves. Thanks for any info you can give us - and again, great product you guys have, I'm really enjoying it.

        [EDIT mcr] - Turns out you guys do employ an SSO solution, described here. I'll dig into it a bit and perhaps post additional questions on this thread, if I have any. If you'd like to chime in in the meantime, please do so.

          Crowd is not required for Confluence SSO, there are other methods. Here's an overview, hopefully this is what you were looking for:
