draw.io vs. Gliffy for Confluence: Key Differences

Gliffy was the first to receive the Cloud Fortified app certification from Atlassian — we're always prioritizing security.

Pin Your Versions

Reveal your latest version when you’re ready with version pinning.

Find Diagrams Faster

Share Outside of Confluence

With Gliffy, every link to a diagram is always up to date. Not so with draw.io!
