What is a Confluence dashboard?
Confluence dashboards serve as static or dynamic reports to visualize usage statistics, helping teams stay informed about Confluence content statistics, and track various metrics.
For many users, these Confluence reports come only through Confluence Analytics, a feature limited to Premium and Enterprise tiers. But Better Content Archiving and Analytics opens access to these insights on all Confluence tiers (including Standard and even Free). This app not only rivals Premium's analytics tools but extends them with comprehensive dashboards for spaces, content, users, engagement, and page statuses.
In some cases, you can even save on Confluence license costs.
If you want to upgrade to Premium only for the analytics or content lifecycle automation features, you should think again. You can get these by staying on Confluence Standard and using the Better Content Archiving and Analytics app. Your monthly bill will increase 80% less compared to upgrading to Premium. This setup can save up to 40% in annual Confluence license costs.
