My question is less about features are more about your real world experiences. Has anyone used both MediaWiki and Confluence in a business environment and can comment on how they worked?

So although the feature differences are important, I'd like to know more about how those features impacted e.g. wiki take up, information sharing, security, etc. So I'm looking for real world examples / your experiences, rather than a comparison of features.

For example, we've seen MediaWiki works very well for sharing information. But how does Confluence work - does the added security discourage or encourage participation? How effectively does that work?

How about the integration between Confluence and Office documentation - has that been a big benefit?

Etc, etc. Thanks in advance.

Thanks johnthexiii. The first and third links I've seen already. All three offer information on features but what I'm really looking for is real-world experiences. I'll edit the question to make that more explicit. – Wikis Jun 22 '10 at 7:07
