WIKI documentation Software?

Atlassian Confluence.
Itâ??s not cheap, and it certainly has its flaws, but it incorporates one feature that most (all?) other wikis donâ??t â?? hierarchy.  You can organize information (pages) hierarchically like a directory structure.
The key here is that some people think hierarchically, and some people donâ??t.  For the hierarchical thinkers, a free-form wiki (i.e. most of them) is absolute hell to navigate, and you can still cross-link pages and use tags and categories, so the non-hierarchical thinkers are still just as much at home as with other products.
Another plus, despite the cost, is you can host it on-site or in the cloud, depending on your needs.

Subject: WIKI documentation Software?

Wanted to ask what WIKI software teams are using to save documentation to / how to's for staff, etc.

We have an older wiki bare-metal wiki server, that I want to get replaced before it kicks the bucket and was looking into various ones.

thanks;
