Gliffy vs Notion
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.
Gliffy, owned by Perforce, is a diagramming tool built to work natively inside Confluence and Jira, letting teams create flowcharts, UML diagrams, BPMN process maps, and network diagrams without leaving their existing Atlassian workflow. It supports drag-and-drop editing, freehand drawing, and full-text search of diagram content within Confluence. Gliffy also offers a standalone Gliffy Online product and a Gliffy Zero Egress option built for regulated industries that require diagram data to stay within their own Atlassian environment for compliance reasons such as ITAR, GDPR, and HIPAA. The product holds SOC 2 Type II compliance and ISO 42001 certification.
Notion is a single space where you can think, write, and plan. Capture thoughts, manage projects, or even run an entire company.
Free for individuals; paid plans start at $10/user/month for teams.

4.3 (4)Solid choice
Our team evaluated a few options before settling on Notion. Strong template ecosystem. No major complaints so far. Would recommend to anyone considering it.
Highly recommend Notion
Notion has quickly become part of our daily workflow. Good mobile apps. One minor gripe: offline mode is limited, but it hasn't been a dealbreaker. Would recommend to anyone considering it.
Great tool for productivity
Been a daily user of Notion for a while now. Extremely flexible - adapts to almost any workflow. One minor gripe: steep learning curve for advanced features, but it hasn't been a dealbreaker. Would recommend to anyone considering it.
