    Trello is not used for making wikis

    Trello isn't a replacement for Confluence but rather Jira. Confluence is for managing a knowledge database and for linking information to tasks, so Trello really isn't that similar.

    Slite is easier to use: it takes out all the clutter of knowledge sharing to make it a simple experience for the entire team. The real time editor is extremely fast and the search makes it easy to retrieve the right information.

    It's Open Source and has the closest feature set compared to Confluence. It also has additional features such as structured wiki pages. There is also a migration toolkit.

    I like XWiki as an alternative to Confluence as it comes with tools allowing a seamless migration from one to another. It also has similar macros and the same extension mechanism as Confluence, which allows to not loose features when migrating.

    Though both have project management tools, Confluence is Primarily a Wiki while Wrike is primarily a project management tool. Wrike does not have wiki, knowledge base, or documentation tools.
