Comparison

DecisionOS vs Confluence

Confluence is where most enterprises already document decisions. It is a great wiki. But a wiki page is not a structured decision record: there is no enforced criteria model, no weighted scoring, no readiness measure, no separation between dealbreakers and weights. DecisionOS fills that gap and can export memos into Confluence for archive.

TL;DR

Confluence is a wiki. DecisionOS is a decision record.

Choose DecisionOS when

  • ✓The decision must be actively driven, not just documented.
  • ✓Audit evidence needs to show criteria and weighting, not prose.
  • ✓Stakeholder briefs need to stay consistent across audiences.

Stick with Confluence when

  • ·Generic project documentation, runbooks, team pages.
  • ·Internal knowledge base and policies.
  • ·Archival storage of decisions already made elsewhere.

How DecisionOS is different

Confluence is a documentation platform. DecisionOS is a decision platform. After a decision is made in DecisionOS, many customers export the memo and attach it to a Confluence space for long-term archive, with DecisionOS remaining the source of record.

Questions we get about this

Can I embed a DecisionOS memo in Confluence?

PDF exports attach cleanly. URL embeds are also supported where Confluence permits external iframes.

Wie arbeiten DecisionOS und Confluence in der Praxis zusammen?

Die Entscheidung läuft in DecisionOS, das fertige Memo wird als PDF in den Confluence-Space des Teams oder Programms abgelegt. Confluence bleibt das Wiki-Archiv, DecisionOS bleibt das System-of-Record für die Entscheidung selbst. Das Memo behält seine Struktur und Versionierung in DecisionOS, Confluence dient als langfristige Diskoverabilität.

Where is DecisionOS hosted?

The application, its databases, the self-hosted analytics and all backups run on dedicated servers in Germany operated by a European provider, under an Art. 28 GDPR data processing agreement. There is no hyperscaler, no US fallback and no cross-border replication of stored data. Two steps do leave the EU: decision memos and document extraction are generated by an AI provider in the USA and carry case content, and traffic reaches you through a content delivery provider that terminates TLS in front of the origin. Vendor research runs on anonymized prompts and carries no customer identity. These transfers rest on EU standard contractual clauses, and every sub-processor is listed by name, purpose and location at nexalign.io/hosting. Whether a given workload can accept them is a question we would rather you decide with the facts than discover later. The self-hosted analytics is cookie-free.

How do I evaluate DecisionOS for my next decision?

Book a 30-minute demo at nexalign.io/book. During the demo the team walks a real decision end-to-end using a scenario close to yours (EDR, IAM, sovereign cloud, ERP, whichever fits).
