As a matter of fact, I had never worked with Databases for Confluence before Atlassian acquired it and launched as an alpha program.
I do not know how taboo-ish it is to say that till a couple of years ago, I think I was the world's most passionate evangelist of Confluence ('for every team' - not restricted to the evident IT-documentation use cases and the evident knowledge bases), but then
Notion.so crossed my path showing lots of features that made me realize that Confluence had not really evolved the years before that.
I just want to say that the last year completely changed my mind again in favour of Confluence, and I must stress that Databases is really revolutionary for Confluence (yes, AI too, and Automations too, but Databases the most) - Databases adds so much structuring potential to Confluence, something we really missed in the past. I see so many new use cases that makes it much easier to sell Confluence now as a solid competitor to Notion, but also Microsoft - for 'every team'!
