Phonemos supports most Confluence functions plus some App functions out of the box.
Feature support classification
โ full support (either 1:1-like support or with a very similar replacement functionality; might still look a bit different)
๐ก additional features that are not available in Confluence Data Center, unless you use apps or custom code
โน๏ธ reduced support, similar functionality available, but different user experience
๐ support is planned, can be prioritized if needed
๐ซ not supported at the moment and no plans. Mostly this is because we did not find a good use case for the feature yet, but are open to suggestions. Just Contact us and we will check what we can do.
Migration support classification
โ๏ธ The migration is automated and easy (or no special migration step is required at all)
๐ ๏ธ The migration will require manual steps or migration to an alternative solution
The information is provided on best effort basis. As both products are continuously developed in parallel and may alter their behaviour between versions. If you wanโt to be sure, Contact us or run a test import and verify the information is still accurate.
