Choosing the right tool for knowledge management is not an easy task, after all, it is used by everyone every day and manages all your knowledge!
There are many solutions on the market. The market leaders seem to shine in some respects, but disappoint in others.
So let's take a closer look at Phonemos, Notion and Confluence.
Phonemos has been on the market since 2021. While most wiki tools are developed or at least hosted in the USA, Phonemos relies on Switzerland, where it is 100% developed and hosted.
It positions itself as a simple, modern, cost-effective and particularly privacy-friendly tool.
Unlike many other solutions, Phonemos comes with many features out of the box. Translations, SSO or intelligent task management are always included.
The pricing is particularly attractive at Phonemos: users are already available from CHF2.50 per month. No compromises have to be made in terms of functionality.
Notion is gaining more and more market share and growing rapidly. This is not surprising either. The tool is minimalist, very easy to use and is constantly expanding its functions. However, if you want to use Notion for a larger team, it quickly becomes expensive: the team version costs $10 per month and does not include SSO, for example.
Notion seems like a great tool, but doesn't offer any options in terms of data location. For companies that do not want their data in the cloud in the US, Notion is not an option.
Confluence can do a lot. The tool is very widespread worldwide, not least because it was one of the only solutions in this area for a long time.
However, with the end-of-life of the server versions by 2024, Confluence is no longer an option for many companies. There is a data centre version, but it is only available for organisations with 500 or more users and is therefore not financially very attractive for smaller companies.
Depending on the requirements, one or the other wiki is better suited to one or the other use case. However, the advantages of Phonemos are undoubted:
