Hudu vs Confluence

Hudu vs. Confluence: A better fit for IT Documentation

Confluence is a wiki and collaboration tool from Atlassian - great for general knowledge sharing and broader team collaboration. But for MSPs and internal IT teams focused on optimizing ITspecific documentation, Hudu offers a purpose built alternative.

Product differences that matter

IT focused asset documentation

• Hudu: Equipped with custom asset layouts, Rack Management, and IP Address Management, giving IT teams structured, network aware documentation in a single place.

• Confluence: Primarily a wiki platform without builtin IP or rack features - you’d need addons or manual tables to approximate that functionality.

Designed for IT teams, Hudu offers integrated custom asset layouts, Rack Management, and IP Address Management.

Password & knowledge sharing

• Hudu: Secure Password Management with TOTP, PWNED checks, and an External Portal for easy sharing with clients.
• Confluence: Offers page permissions and sharing, but no native password vault or client branded share portal without external integrations.

Hudu makes secure password management a top priority for its' users.

Documentation creation tools

• Hudu: Includes Screen Capture to quickly turn recorded steps into KB articles and processes.

• Confluence: Relies on templates, macros, and marketplace addons but lacks a builtin screen capture feature.

Having a native screen capture tool streamlines the process of turning workflows into clear documentation, eliminating the need for complex setups or additional plugins.

Collaboration & control

Company

Customer led & independent

• Hudu: Built and iterated on feedback from thousands of MSPs - feature releases are customer-driven.

• Confluence: Part of Atlassian's ecosystem and designed for large-scale collaboration.

Hudu is driven by direct feedback from thousands of MSPs, and we evolve with a strong customer focus.

Ease of use & onboarding

• Hudu: Offers free trials, transparent pricing, no annual contracts, and in-house support. We design to win your trust with ease.

• Confluence: Cloud plans start at $5.16/user/month for Standard (up to 250 GB), while Premium is $9.73/user/month.

Flexibility is a key priority at Hudu, with free trials, clear pricing, and no annual contracts paired with dedicated support.
