Gliffy alternative
Gliffy is a genuinely good tool. Teams move to Atlas Diagram Studio when they want AI text-to-diagram and diagrams that live inside the same workspace as their tasks, projects, and docs. Gliffy is simple, reliable, and Atlassian-native. Atlas Diagram Studio adds AI text-to-diagram, more diagram types, and diagrams that live inside your all-in-one work OS.
Why teams switch
To be fair: Gliffy is a straightforward, reliable diagramming tool with excellent Atlassian integration: its Confluence and Jira embeds make it a staple for teams standardised on Atlassian.
Generate editable diagrams from plain English or Mermaid, with validation and auto-fix.
UML, ERD, BPMN, sequence, C4, and cloud architecture in one tool.
Instead of only Confluence embeds, diagrams live with your projects, tasks, and docs.
