Notion** - For most remote teams under ~200 people, this is where I'd start. It doubles as your wiki, project tracker, and company handbook, so you don't end up paying for an intranet *and* a knowledge base. Search is decent, the AI Q&A over your own docs is genuinely useful, and it's cheap enough (~$10-18/user/mo) that you can roll it out without a procurement cycle. Weakness: it's not a comms/broadcast tool - no real news feed or read-receipt reporting.\n\n**2. Confluence (Atlassian)** - The default if you're already on Jira. Better than Notion at structured documentation at scale, permissioning, and page hierarchy. Less pleasant to use, and the \"company news\" side is weak, but it's the safest boring choice for engineering-heavy remote orgs.\n\n**3. Workvivo (owned by Zoom)** - My pick when the real problem is *engagement* rather than documents. It's built like a social feed, remote staff actually log in voluntarily, and Zoom integration is tight. Caveat: it's enterprise-shaped - custom pricing, ~250-employee floor, Business plan starts around $20k/year.
