What's better about our Linchpin User Profiles App compared to User Profiles for Confluence? How is User Profiles for Confluence better?


Background

The native user profiles that are shipped with Confluence out-of-the-box, are static and only offer a few basic data. This is where Plugin solutions come in to enhance the Confluence profile and adapt them to individual customer requirements.

Thus the user profiles can form the basis for a comprehensive personalization of Confluence and for an advanced user search.

The two most advanced products in this context are the Linchpin User Profiles App by //SEIBERT/MEDIA and add-on User Profiles for Confluence by Communardo. Both products are developed intensively and are available for free trial on the Atlassian Marketplace.

We are comparing these solutions and take a look at the requirements they cover.

Pricing

The Linchpin User Profiles Plugin and the User Profiles for Confluence Plugin do not differ much in price. The license costs are between 17% and 20% of the license price for Confluence respectively.
