And nearly every "high touch" interaction with Microsoft and an enterprise using Confluence ends up converting to SharePoint.

Full disclosure: I make my living on SharePoint, and (perhaps ironically in some reader's view) use Confluence and other Atlassian products to manage my business.

Converting, or just ending up with both? I've worked for two companies with both and neither product was ever going to replace the other. As your disclosure suggests, the Atlassian suite fulfills a different set of needs than SharePoint.

My disclosure is that operating my business doesn't require SharePoint, that's all. I'm not "enterprise", I'm running a small business with one partner, and SharePoint is overkill for us.

But your point is well taken. To that point: many of our customers bring up migrating their content from Confluence and the like to SharePoint once they begin using SharePoint as a platform for other apps.
