Looking for Cloud alternatives after migrating from Data Center

[Marc-André Bouchard]

Hi everyone,

I’m new here and I hope this is the right place to ask.
Our team has been moving from Data Center to Cloud this summer, and we noticed that some of the apps we used before don’t offer the same functionality in Cloud.

We’re now trying to find good alternatives for the following:

• Table Enhancer for Confluence
• Comala Metadata

Has anyone faced the same situation? Any advice or suggestions on Cloud alternatives would be really appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

Hey @Marc-André Bouchard ,

Firstly, welcome to the community! 👋

As for alternatives for apps, you might want to check this official page: Cloud alternatives to your Confluence Marketplace Data Center & Server apps 

As listed there, instead of Comala, you could probably use Metadata for Confluence by Communardo Products GmbH.
For Table Enhancer, maybe you could check Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence or Advanced Tables for Confluence 

However, during the assessment phase, you can also check if some features you use within those apps on DC can be implemented natively, so you don't need additional budget for apps 👀

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Tobi

Thanks so much @Tomislav Tobijas, your contributions are always super valuable in the Community, and it’s clear how much effort you put into helping people find the right solutions.

If I may add just a small note: at Simpleasyty, it would mean a lot to us if Simple Table could someday be considered among the table apps you suggest. It’s free, Forge-native, and adds features like filtering, grouping, aggregations, and calculated columns to native Confluence tables.

Of course, I completely understand you share what you feel works best for each situation but as someone active in the ecosystem, it would make us really happy if Simple Table could be on your radar when teams are exploring table solutions in Cloud. 💙

Hi @Marc-André Bouchard ,

Regarding Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence kindly mentioned by @Tomislav Tobijas - the app is developed by our company.

Please book a call with our team - we'll give you a live overview and discuss how to transfer your current use cases.

Hi @Marc-André Bouchard ,

Metadata for Confluence (thanks, @Tomislav Tobijas , for mentioning it) could be useful for you.

To discuss this further, a call with our PO would be a good use of time. I hope you take this opportunity.

Regards,
Lorenzo

Hi @Marc-André Bouchard

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Regarding the Comala Metadata functionality, while there isn't a standalone Cloud version of the Metadata app, we've started integrating many of its key features directly into Comala Document Management Cloud.

At the moment, there are already some available macros such as:

• Document Metadata (equivalent to the get-metadata macro in DC)
• set-metadata

You can also migrate your existing Metadata from Data Center using Comala Document Management.

Our current roadmap includes releasing most of the remaining Metadata macros by October 2025.

If you need help getting started or migrating your metadata setup, feel free to open a support ticket through Appfire's Support Portal - we'll be more than happy to assist.

Hope that helps!

Kind regards,

Oliver

Hi @Marc-André Bouchard, welcome to the Community!

For the Table Enhancer use cases, you might want to take a look at Simple Table for Confluence. It’s a free Confluence Cloud app designed to extend native tables with powerful features like:

• Filtering and grouping rows dynamically

• Calculated columns (formulas, concatenations, numeric operations)

• Aggregations (sum, avg, min, max, etc.)

• Easy import of CSV/JSON/EXCEL data

We’re actively collecting feedback from teams migrating from DC and looking to replicate or even simplify their workflows in Cloud. If you have specific use cases in mind, I’d be happy to explore whether Simple Table can cover them and share practical examples.

For Comala Metadata, that’s a different type of functionality, but we’re also working on integrations where Page Properties and metadata-like fields can be rolled up inside Simple Table for reporting.

If you’d like, I can share a couple of scenarios showing how teams use it after migrating.

Best regards,
