"Questions for Confluence" surely benefits from its synergy with other Atlassian products, but it's not clear to what extent. Auto-linking of Jira tickets numbers?

Unfortunately for folks like me down in the trenches, the manager types typically have more sway when it comes to picking products like this. Expanding the Atlassian license to include one more product probably sounds much easier to them.

However, the $1.65 per user difference in price is likely not going to be a deal breaker for these decision makers if it can be shown that StackOverflow, the clear dominant player in Q&A, has a superior product.
