dicimint vs Confluence
Confluence is a good wiki. dicimint is a control system for the documents an auditor will ask about. Most teams do not need to choose one or the other.
Different tools for different jobs.
The closest functional comparison is Confluence plus an approval app such as Comala. Even then, page history is not the same thing as an immutable revision record.
| Capability | dicimint | Confluence |
|---|---|---|
| Structured review cycles with reviewer quorum | Built in | App or manual process |
| Approval gates with recorded decisions | Built in | Needs an approval app |
| Immutable revisions as audit evidence | Immutable record | Editable page history |
| Project-level submission snapshot | Freezes changed documents | Not native |
| Scoped, confirmed agent writes (MCP) | Built in | Not native |
| Dedicated stack or self-host | Enterprise option | Cloud; Data Center is separate |
| General wiki, whiteboards and databases | Not the goal | Excellent |
| Marketplace and app ecosystem | Focused integrations | Thousands of apps |

Choose dicimint if…
- You must prove who approved which version, and when.
- Your documents appear in ISO, SOC 2, medical-device or customer audits.
- You need immutable revisions, not editable page history.
- You want AI agents to help without giving them delete or approval rights.
- You need a dedicated stack or self-hosted deployment.
Stay with Confluence if…
- You need a general company wiki, not controlled documents.
- Whiteboards, databases, macros and a large app marketplace are essential.
- You already run approvals through Comala or an internal workflow.
- You want a free tier for a small team and do not need audit evidence.
Keep the wiki. Control the records.
Many teams keep Confluence for general knowledge and move policies, SOPs, specs and controlled records into dicimint. You do not need a big-bang migration.
- Import Markdown and project ZIP files.
- Run one project as a pilot before moving more.
- Keep links to the wiki for context that is not controlled.
- Word import and PDF export are on the roadmap.
What migration actually involves
Start with the documents that hurt: the ones with an approval gate, a revision number and an auditor on the other end. Do not migrate the whole wiki.
- Pick one controlled document set.
- Import the current approved version.
- Run a real review cycle with your reviewers.
- Lock the revision and export the evidence.
- Expand only if the cycle is faster.
