| Support | Free includes Atlassian Community support, Standard provides regional business-hours support, Premium provides 24/7 critical-issue support, and Enterprise provides 24/7 support with a 30-minute critical-issue response time. | The Wikibase project points users to its community and FAQ, while Wikibase Suite directs support questions to troubleshooting and an engineering-team bug report form. |
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 institutions, research projects and communities creating searchable, multilingual knowledge bases. Choose Cloud for hosted simplicity or Suite when a public Linux server is available for self-hosting.
