// EDITOR'S TAKE
Outline is the cleanest drop-in for a company wiki, with fast search, sane permissions and good chat integration, but nothing like Confluence's macros. XWiki is the closer match on enterprise depth, with spaces, fine-grained rights and extensions, if you can tolerate its dated interface; AppFlowy and Affine are better suited to small teams who want docs and boards together.
