Confluence Data Center alternative

An alternative to Confluence Data Center.

You run Confluence Data Center to keep your knowledge on your own servers. swCollab keeps it there – and puts work tracking, requirements and traceability on the same platform.

Self-hosted on your servers, or managed in Germany.

A restricted Board Room space with its own document library

Self-hosted, on your infrastructure.

swCollab runs inside your own environment, for organisations that need direct control over their data, security and operations.

  • your servers, your network, your backups
  • no telemetry: a self-hosted swCollab does not report to us, and its licence is checked offline
  • Sealed Spaces, encrypted under a key we never hold
  • Restricted Spaces, each encrypted under its own key
  • a tamper-evident audit log

Administration is not access.

Organisation administrators manage accounts, but an administrator who is not a member of a private space cannot browse it. Platform administration and content access are kept apart.

A wiki that knows the work.

Pages, tasks, requirements, risks, tests and files live on one platform with one search and one permission model. Pages embed live views of the work, and traceability comes from the links between records.
