When and when not to use Confluence

Confluence, developed by Atlassian, is a versatile, wiki-like tool designed for document management, knowledge sharing, and collaboration across enterprises, offering features like numerous templates, access restrictions, and Jira integration to enhance organizational efficiency. It can be deployed as a SaaS or hosted on IaaS platforms like AWS or Azure, with local hosting options also available for tighter access management. Confluence is widely used by over 60,000 organizations globally for various applications, including technical documentation, knowledge bases, and intranets, proving especially beneficial for teams in software development, marketing, and product management. However, it may not be ideal for tasks like code documentation or complex knowledge management, where more specialized tools could be preferable. While Confluence integrates seamlessly with Jira for product management, the accompanying Tabnine AI coding assistant offers developers AI-driven enhancements for coding workflows, ensuring privacy and personalization while improving productivity and code quality.
