What differentiates Confluence from other similar products?

Confluence stands out because it integrates deeply with Jira and other Atlassian tools, making it perfect for technical and project teams.

If you're considering Confluence, make sure your team is ready to use its structure and integrate it with tools like Jira. It works best for organized, growing teams, so invest a little time in setting up spaces and permissions properly—then it becomes a very powerful documentation hub.
