Confluence

Team wiki and documentation hub by Atlassian.

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.

At a glance

Who's it for?

It's the natural knowledge base for teams already using Jira, since pages and issues link directly to each other.

Strength

Its deep Jira integration and strong search make it attractive for teams that want documentation tied directly to their engineering work.

Trade-off

Without discipline, content can become disorganized over time, and it delivers the most value as part of the wider Atlassian suite.

When to choose it

A strong option for Jira teams that want documentation and knowledge sharing connected to their existing workflow.
