Gliffy review

Gliffy is a focused pick for Confluence teams. Its main product, Gliffy Diagrams for Confluence, puts the editor inside Confluence pages, so flowcharts, UML, BPMN, network and Mermaid diagrams sit next to the documentation they explain and inherit Confluence permissions. It imports Visio and draw.io files, exports to JPEG, PNG and SVG and includes an AI feature that generates diagrams. Pricing is low: free with no time limit for up to 10 users, then $3.80 per user per month for 11 to 100 users, billed annually through Atlassian Marketplace. A Zero Egress edition, priced from $2.80 per month, is built for teams on Atlassian Government Cloud or Isolated Cloud and keeps diagram data inside the Atlassian environment, with ITAR, GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2 compliance listed. The limit is scope: Gliffy only makes sense if Confluence is your documentation home, and it offers less for live workshops or standalone diagram libraries than Lucidchart or Miro.
