We use Confluence to provide a documentation portal for our customers. Zen gives us a polished, professional look . . . Zen is by far my favorite Confluence plugin. The staff at Stepstone is great to work with too. They're very responsive and lots of fun to work with.

"Absolutely the best Confluence plugin ever"

"Absolutely addictive! That's for starters."

"Awesome is an understatement"

Awesome. Great. Beautiful are the words that come to mind when thinking of the Zen Foundation plugin. I really love how easy it is to create a beautiful site around Confluence. This truly makes the usability of Confluence better for all people, whether they are engineers or business people.

Marketplace Review

"It definitely is the best thing ever to happen to Confluence."

Anyone who looks at Zen will be blown away at how good Confluence can look. With Zen, Confluence is the best-looking collaboration / knowledge mgmt / wiki platform available. I'm also a fan of how it improves Confluence's blogging feature and no longer think about switching to Wordpress.

"Could be the biggest feature Confluence has come out with just about ever."

"I was completely blown away."

"I'm 'Zenning out' and can't imagine Confluence without it now!"

I LOVE the new zen brand designer. Best thing ever. Give yourselves a toast on that one. Huge accomplishment – it's taking days off my upgrade project! What used to be a headache with manual tweaking of css and js files is now a snap. Yay!

Marketplace Review

"Zen development mode is fantastic, so easy to use!"

"Zen is like a giant double rainbow!"

"This is F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!! I absolutely love everything about it."

"I have been playing with Zen Foundation and now I'm giddy."

"Great product!! I am very excited to be implementing this. We've struggled with making Confluence user-friendly for over 2 years."

"I LOVE how easy it is"

"This is fantastic. Keep up the good work."

"I feel like once we start using Zen, we’ll never know how we lived without it."

Zen Foundation is a must-have for any Confluence platform that wants to harness the power of a non-geek user base. Whether you are looking to drive more traffic to your instance, increase your existing users comfort in the submission process, or expand your user base, you need this plugin.

Marketplace Review

"Zen is definitely my favorite plugin ever!"

Stepstone not only completed our intranet on time and on budget, but they delivered a beautiful, easy-to-use interface that has had a dramatic impact on user adoption within our company.

VP, Business Operations, Reprise Media

This plugin revolutionised my site, with a look and feel that was so much better than previously available. My userbase approved enormously and my admin staff love the power and ease of page creation and editing. The Zen team is friendly, funny, and professional. I could not be happier with them.

Marketplace Review

"Oooh my gawd! This is SOOOO COOL!!!!"

Zen took considerably less effort than originally planned and ultimately produced a superior user experience.

Marketplace Review

"Zen took considerably less effort than originally planned and ultimately produced a superior user experience."

"Downloading, installing, following your instructions, and pretty much figuring everything out only took about 5 minutes . . . or that's what it felt like."

"This is really, really terrific . . . it's just fantastic."

"This is top notch. Highly recommend it!"

Stepstone integrated our five separate organizations under one wiki, surpassed our complex branding and design goals, added critical custom behavior, and made it eye-catching and easy for us and our supporters to use.

"Zen has been a true lifesaver for me. As someone that has never used the Confluence platform before, it has allowed me to get up and running in no time.  I look forward to more great things in the future from Zen."

"A truly great tool!"

"We love Zen for Confluence!"

After many wasted hours, I found Zen. Within minutes of installing I found many wishes fulfilled (and other cool stuff I didn't even think about) and have a beautiful easy-to-use and easy-to-administer site. Thank you for my new found ZENness! (And for the awesome customer service to boot. As a software CSR myself, I was really impressed.)

Marketplace Review

"It's no exaggeration to say Zen makes Confluence the absolutely best looking site anywhere on the Interwebs blowing away Jive and anything else I've seen."
