## What the models said for it

- "Confluence: The standard if your product/engineering team already relies heavily on the Atlassian suite (Jira)." (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Internal communications)
- "Excellent search, strong permission controls, and pre-built templates for company wikis" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Internal communications)
- "Documentation and knowledge management | Excellent for searchable pages" (Perplexity Sonar, Internal communications)
- "Best for: Teams already using Atlassian products (Jira, etc.)" (Kimi K2, Internal communications)

## And against it

- "Confluence wasn't designed to be an intranet but rather as a documentation wiki, so it lacks basic social features like news feeds and employee engagement tools" (Claude Haiku 4.5, Internal communications)
- "Confluence can be excellent for technical documentation and team knowledge, but it's not always a substitute for a company-wide intranet" (GPT-6 Luna, Internal communications)
- "it's less of a classic company-wide employee intranet and more of a documentation/workspace tool" (GPT-5.4 mini, Internal communications)
- "Cons: Weaker for top-down internal comms, broadcast messaging, and social culture building." (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Internal communications)
