Most teams need one from each column. Here's what I'd actually pick:\n\n**Shared docs / team wiki**\n\n1. **Notion** - the default I'd recommend to most remote teams. Pages, databases, wikis and project boards in one connected workspace with solid permissions, real-time co-editing and the biggest template and integration ecosystem. It typically replaces Google Docs + Trello + a wiki at once. The tradeoff: it's flexible enough to get messy without someone owning the structure.\n2. **Confluence** - pick this over Notion if you're already on Atlassian (Jira especially) or if a company-wide, permissioned knowledge base is the primary goal. It's the one of the three actually purpose-built as a wiki, which matters at enterprise scale and for compliance-ish needs.\n3. **Coda** - choose when a doc needs to behave like software: strong formulas, buttons, automations, Packs for integrations and cross-doc sync. Better than Notion for ops-heavy teams running processes inside documents; weaker as an everyday writing surface.\n4.", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
