Their description of Jira (&quot;like Asana&quot;) and Confluence (&quot;like SharePoint&quot;) are far off the mark.<p>Confluence does not equate to SharePoint except possibly in the limited case of a SharePoint Enterprise Wiki site. SharePoint is more like a web-based RDBMS with both list and file-metadata schemas, a web-based RAD environment to assemble schemas and views (where pages are separate citizens from other data types), centrally managed metadata, and .NET support for enhancement.<p>Asana is task management with folder and hierarchical organization, Jira is practically a RDBMS with a web-based RAD environment, its own de-facto scripting and query languages, and... Wait a minute, it&#x27;s actually closer to SharePoint than Confluence.<p>Source: I&#x27;ve run a SharePoint training and consulting company for over a decade, and actually use Jira, Confluence and Asana in our own internal systems (because we&#x27;d be remiss to naively assume SharePoint is ideal for any of the things we use Jira, Confluence or Asana for, and we&#x27;re not apologists for Microsoft but rather evangelists for business collaboration). I know very well how both proverbial halves live (the MS crowd and the non-MS crowd) and they&#x27;re not as different as they&#x27;d like you to believe.
