Confluence suits teams that need a shared place for documentation, project planning and collaborative work. It is particularly relevant for teams that use Jira or want pages, whiteboards and databases in the same workspace.
It suits growing teams, established support organizations, and larger organizations needing shared support channels, automation, and a knowledge base. Enterprise customers can choose EU or APAC data residency and customer-managed encryption keys.
