Go beyond archiving files. Switch to Confluence
Confluence breaks down silos and is a single source of truth for your entire company. Easily create, discover, and collaborate on shared knowledge.
Knowledge flows freely between teams
SharePoint files are siloed in folders and become obsolete instantly
Find information fast with a single source of truth. Confluence’s open, connected structure allows critical knowledge to be shared amongst everyone within an organization.
- Organize all project or team-related work with a nested content tree and dedicated Spaces
- Easily find what you need with advanced search, labels, and an intuitive content hierarchy
- Content is open by default with tools to control permissions and allow guest access
Confluence has a great ability to find important information quickly. Far better than my experiences with Sharepoint or Teams.

Increase team engagement
SharePoint’s commenting & co-editing social features are clumsy
Collaborate on projects and plans across teams, all in one place. Get updates when changes are made or track version history to stay in the loop and move work forward, collaboratively.
- Co-editing in real-time and @ mentions keep teams in sync
- Inline comments and emoji reactions move conversations forward
- Blogs create a company culture of sharing and personal connection
Confluence is a great way to collaborate and document much better than SharePoint.

Faster time to value
SharePoint requires heavy admin investment to set up and customize
Spend more time doing what matters, not setting up your site. Spin up intuitive team and project spaces in minutes with guided onboarding and deep Jira integrations. Ship, don’t set up.
- Home pages organize important company information for all to access at a glance
- Track projects though native Jira, Jira Service Management, and Trello integrations
- Turn ideas into actual deliverables with Confluence whiteboards
Our organization has experienced faster and more interactive onboarding with Confluence.
