Really? They do? That's surprising, because the last 3 places I've worked with Jira, everyone hated it. I always felt like it was a super-configurable, really lame to use issue tracker.

Odd. The last several places I've worked have switched to Jira (from Mantis, Bugzilla, some home grown tool, Trac, Excel) and everyone was happier (devs, testers, PMs). Perhaps it wasn't setup well for your uses? I'm not sure.
Personally I love Jira, it's easy to configure to work the way you work, it has tons of plugins, great integrations (Eclipse, Hudson, SVN). It's by the best task/bug/project management tool I've every used.

So what do they prefer? I haven't come across a better product so far
Confluence is a really amazing product! I've used it for document and project management at companies large (Fortune 100) and small (my 3 person startup), and it's worked great.
It has a ton of excellent features and polished interface out of the box, but the real strength is the ecosystem of plugins available for Confluence that let you easily extend it to be tailored to your needs.
With a deal like this, I'd recommend checking it out.

Confluence is a great product and way too good to pass up at $5, done deal!
This is an awesome deal! I use the free JIRA personal license for my own projects but I will get this license so that I can officially use it for my small business.
I submitted it because with this price tag it could be a serious competer to some start ups out there.
"5 users for 5 dollars for 5 days" is a misleading headline (it's for a year, but the offer is only available for 5 days).
But Atlassian are a very marketing-smart company, so maybe this is intentional, to generate discussion, and so make the message more sticky.

I didn't even notice the "5 days" part until my boyfriend pointed it out. And even then it sounded odd, since it says they give you a year of full support.
A quick reading of the FAQ (which you should always do to avoid surprises :)) clears up all doubt.
BTW, thanks to the submitter. We use this at work and it's fantastic. I really wanted to be able to use it for my personal projects, too!

Just as a note, it's $5 per year of support/upgrades for up to 3 years. Then after that, I guess you have to pay whatever the base value is at the time for support/upgrades.
Thanks a lot for the info, I can't believe I just bought two applications I always wanted and never could afford for 10 bucks!
Don't forget that JIRA is available for $5 as well! I love its dashboards for project summarization.
Confluence has traditionally free for open source projects. I upvoted this because I think this limited-time offer ($5 for 1 year) would fit many small, distributed startup's needs for a centralized knowledgebase (if they are not already using Drupal or Backpack). Jira is also included in this $5 offer too [separately - not 2 for 1] (we use that too - our testers/business analysts love it)
