Gliffy & Confluence Whiteboards Feature Comparison

Confluence Whiteboards doesn’t offer any code-based diagramming functionality. Gliffy offers Mermaid diagram functionality, meaning your technical experts will save time and produce more effective documentation.

When you’re working with complex information, a lack of support for complex diagram structures can easily lead to frustration and miscommunication. Gliffy offers layering and multipage support, neither of which are available in Confluence Whiteboards.

Whiteboards can generate flowcharts and mind maps based on your input. Gliffy’s AI diagramming feature functions similarly, but can generate technical diagrams with proper UML notation—a faster and more effective solution for developers and engineers.

What happens if you need to provide documentation to auditors covering the past year of your team’s work? 30 days of revision history, available in a Confluence whiteboard, doesn’t cut it. A Gliffy diagram’s revision history is unlimited, so you can refer to previous versions of a system or process whenever you need it.

Using Confluence Whiteboards, with its limited technical diagramming templates, can lead to time-consuming workarounds, inconsistent visuals, and potential misunderstandings. Gliffy, with its comprehensive library of technical diagramming templates, empowers teams to quickly produce polished and consistent diagrams.
