Confluence

Collaboration Freemium

Confluence is the knowledge base teams reach for when they're already living in Jira, since pages and issues link directly to each other. Rich page templates support specs, retrospectives, and onboarding docs, and its search holds up well even as a wiki grows large. It's aimed at mid-size, large, and enterprise teams already using Jira.
