Confluence - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

“The integration features of Confluence have increased our productivity by minimizing manual procedures and data fragmentation. Confluence has been effortlessly linked with tools like JIRA, supplementing project documentation with actionable insights and improving cross-functional communication. Because of improved workflows and real-time collaboration, this connection ensures that our projects move forward seamlessly.”

“Jira and Confluence work hand in hand, Confluence being used for documentation as well as the product timeline, where Jira was used as a ticket tracker, and during the current sprint we were on to control tickets, and where they are in the process to allow us to stay on track within the project.”

“When in software development, it is important that the knowledge base takes into account Jira tasks. For instance when enriching the description of an existing feature on your product that is being reworked in the context of a specific Jira task, it's useful to link the task.”

“JIRA and Confluence works hand in hand within my organisation and team. As we are able to track tasks on JIRA and link them to the documentation on confluence. This creates efficiencies with task management, reviews, delivery of work and deployments”

“Plan in Confluence, track tasks in Jira. Create Jira issues directly from Confluence pages. Embed Jira boards/reports into Confluence to show progress. Link docs to Jira tickets for full context. Use Confluence for retros, plans, and decisions”

“You can reference JIRA work tasks in Confluence which makes documentation around product management really integrated. Equally, in a JIRA task you can reference a document of research insight or business analysis that is relevant to the task.”

“The integration between JIRA and Confluence is important since the status of stories from JIRA need to be reflected in the COnflence requirement document, to highlight the status of the issues on a high level to the Leadership team.”

“Jira works well with Confluence - I use Jira for project management and Confluence for file sharing and integrate them, making it simple to assign tasks with the relevant files people will need to complete.”

“Confluence is the ideal complement for Jira, the integration is a must for any project manager that wants to keep clean the Jira project and at the same time needs to maintain a proper documentation ”

“Dynamic integration of Jira: Tickets, status reports especially when releases are near is a helpful feature. Easy linkage with Jira is one helpful feature in developer documentation.”

“super efficient to have these two integrated - we use Jira daily for tracking work tasks and can easily link to broader policies / projects documented in confluence”

“If using Jira, Confluence is the optimal integrated collaboration platform, allowing users to seamlessly receive notifications when tagged documents are available.”

“This integration helps directly fetch updates from JIRA stories, epics, or features, ultimately briefing about the status of that task without visiting JIRA board.”

“Our roadmaps, backlog and refinement all happened within Jira and so to do a two way integration helped us build quicker and understand the work more efficiently.”

“We used Jira for our project tracking. It is important to see the status of the team and having to integrate with confluence makes things a lot easier to track.”

“Software development documentation is always a challenge. The seamless integration between Jira and Confluence helps to ease some of those challenges.”

“Some information is stored in jira tickets and it's very important to use this ability to complete the documentation shared in confluence pages”

“We use Jira for project tracking/engineering delivery - so its important that this sync well with confluence - where a project normally starts”

“Jira Software and Confluence can be integrated to manage agile projects with organized workflows and integrated documentation management.”

“Collaboration of JIRA and Confluence is critical as it helps maintain sprint boards along with the required project plan/documentation”

“We use Slack and Confluence together to stay in the loop. When someone updates a page or leaves a comment in Confluence, we get a heads-up right in Slack. It makes chatting and collaborating way smoother since we dont have to keep switching apps”

“Works well, for me I don't think it's as important, though I don't ever use it that way. The couple times I've experimented it's worked as it should. This is a personal preference, if this is important to you - it does work well. ”

“It is not important to integrate Confluence and Slack as people may not want to be notified of documentation changes, but it is nonetheless still a good add-on.”

“Getting notifications in a Slack group helps us avoid duplicate tasks and makes our days more efficient.”

“It keeps the team updated instantly on any Confluence changes without having to leave Slack.”

“This is the big win for our company. With customers able to see relevant articles and knowledge bases, Confluence becomes a powerful tool.”

“so that any tickets or requirements can be tracked and assigned in JIRA but the content remains in confluence”

“This was the key integration for Confluence, a must have if you also use JIRA for ticketing.”

“You can not keep your code and your documentation and tasks separately, we did it for years and it doesn't work, it is why I like Atlassian, whihc really addressed this issue in a very professional way.”

“From a technical perspective, Bitbucket helps a lot, especially for code deploying. It's awesome”

“Again having a single point of truth across the atlassian suite is essential and works well”

“Fantastic to be able to reference BPM diagrams and flowcharts to a Confluence page for comprehensive documentation. ”

“Integration with Lucidchart could be better. When charts are wide (horizontally) the fitting to the page is clunky.”

“We do a lot of chart and graph work within Lucid chart and so showing these within confluence pages was ideal.”

“Used but limited features in this add-on. Would prefer copying images instead.”

“This integration is awesome, the rendering of boards in confluence is great.”

“Confluence allows teams to easily embed, access and collaborate on files stored in Drive without leaving Confluence. This streamlines workflows by keeping documents, spreadsheets, and presentations connected to project pages, enhancing productivity”

“we use the google suite in the company so sharing files from your google drive through confluence is easy ”

“Trello is useful for very specific projects - but we can include links to related documents stored in Confluence for ease and convenience”

“It helps developers track code changes alongside relevant specs, issues, and discussions, improving transparency and collaboration across teams.”

“There is an additional cost to use the Google Calendar plug-in but I prefer using Google Calendar than trying to create one in Confluence. ”

“It means we can update a document in the google workspace and know that it is automatically updated in confluence so we are not updating in several places”

“Authorised and authenticated critical documents where integrated with conference”

“It was helpful, not critical, to be able to easily attach Confluence documents and knowledge bases to our projects. It helped to reduce the duplication of files.”
