Technical Diagramming with a Whiteboard’s Convenience
For users with more technical needs, Gliffy offers the best of both worlds: advanced functionality and an intuitive experience. Unlike Confluence whiteboards, Gliffy includes built-in technical shapes and connectors—no need to upload assets one by one. Whether you're building network diagrams, application architectures, or system flows, Gliffy streamlines the process with features designed specifically for technical users.
And with advanced version control plus the ability to import and edit diagrams from virtually any tool, Gliffy fits seamlessly into your workflow—without sacrificing ease of use.
Confluence Whiteboards are great for quick sketches—but when you're mapping multi-stage workflows or complex networks, they just don’t cut it.
Gliffy is built for complexity, with the tools and templates you need to handle high-stakes projects without the hassle. When it's time to go beyond basic, Gliffy delivers.
Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the diagramming features you’ll find in Gliffy and Confluence whiteboards.
