What are the most valuable differentiators for large organizations?
Organizations are increasingly embracing Atlassian Cloud Enterprise for greater control and scalability over their Atlassian instances. Despite this, many find it challenging to determine if Cloud Enterprise is the right decision for them.
We have identified the top FIVE distinguishing features of Cloud Enterprise to aid you in making an informed decision.
Centralized User Billing
Cloud Enterprise customers enjoy the advantage of a streamlined billing system, enabling them to assign users an unlimited number of instances to their environment with a single license.
Why do you need this?
Centralized user billing allows businesses to manage customer payments and billing all in one centralized location. It is a great way for companies to streamline their payment processes, reduce costs, and improve customer service.
Here are some of the reasons why businesses need centralized user billing and the value it adds to the company:
- Cost Reduction: Centralizing user billing eliminates the need for manual tracking, record-keeping, and maintaining multiple billing systems. This results in businesses saving money on labor costs and other overhead expenses.
- Visibility: It provides visibility into the usage of each license, allowing companies to make informed decisions about their usage and optimize their license spending.
- Simplified User Management: Centralized user billing streamlines the process of managing user access, enabling organizations to quickly and easily add or remove users from their Atlassian accounts.
- Improved productivity with automation: It automates the process of tracking and billing for user licenses, eliminating manual processes and freeing up time and resources.
- Security: Centralized user billing helps keep user data secure by enabling organizations to control their user access, ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to their data.
Uptime SLA
Cloud Enterprise product plans offer an around-the-clock uptime SLA of 99.95% over the 99.9% uptime SLA of Cloud Premium with financial support in the form of service level credits.
Why do you need this?
The uptime guarantee specifies the percentage of time that the service will be available to the customer. A 0.05% difference may seem small, but it may result in nearly 8 hours of downtime per year. This could be costly for an enterprise, as outages can lead to lost business and revenue.
Here are some reasons why an enterprise may value a 99.95% uptime SLA over a 99.9% uptime SLA:
- Provides a more reliable system – The 99.95% uptime SLA of Atlassian Cloud Enterprise provides a more reliable system that minimizes potential losses due to system downtime. This can translate to cost savings in the form of reduced downtime costs, such as lost productivity and customer satisfaction.
- Allows to perform complex tasks in less time – With the increased uptime, companies can rely on the system to perform more complex tasks in a shorter amount of time, leading to improved performance, scalability, and efficiency.
- Increases focus on core business – The 99.95% uptime SLA of Atlassian Cloud Enterprise also allows companies to focus on their core business operations instead of worrying about system downtime.
- Better customer experience – It also provides a better customer experience as the increased uptime allows for faster response times and improved customer service.
- Cost savings – The 99.95% uptime SLA of Atlassian Cloud Enterprise also helps companies reduce their overall IT costs by eliminating the need for additional hardware, software, and personnel to maintain their systems.

Bonus Point
Cloud Enterprise comes with Atlassian Access, where you can easily manage security and administration across all your Atlassian cloud products using SAML single sign-on, automated user provisioning, Active Directory sync, and more.
SAML single sign-on allows users to access multiple applications using a single set of credentials, reducing the complexity and cost of managing multiple passwords. This increases security and reduces the need for users to remember multiple passwords, eliminating the risk of data breaches. It also reduces the time users spend logging in and out of various applications, resulting in improved user experience and increased productivity. In the long run, SAML single sign-on saves companies time and money by reducing IT overhead and security costs.
