Pick Confluence if…
Confluence suits teams that need a shared place for documentation, project planning and collaborative work. It is particularly relevant for teams that use Jira or want pages, whiteboards and databases in the same workspace.
Pick PmWiki if…
PmWiki suits people who want to host a collaborative website and manage access at the site, group, or page level. It is also a fit for administrators comfortable with software that requires PHP.
