Not Always the Best for Discussions – It's great for structured Q&A, but not ideal for open-ended discussions or brainstorming, where tools like Slack or Confluence might work better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is the first place to go to for answers to 'how do I' or 'how does this work' kind of questions which, as a development team, we ask a lot.

- We can find in Stack Overflow not only an FAQ written by one team (who might not necessarily know all the questions from the field), but actual question written by anyone corresponding to an actual need encountered on the field.
Each time there's a question and an answer logged there, it has high chances to help again any other person who would encounter it.
- There are several mechanisms to easily identifiy relevant content, such as the search bar (of course) and the tags to see all questions related to a topic.
- Additionnally, it's easy to refer to a question and its answer by just sending a hyperlink to a colleague who needs it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It needs a fair amount of enablement and moderation to make sure to keep our knowledge base clean and maintenable over time. Indeed, writing questions / asking for help is actually a skill, and it's necessary to help the users improve that skill so Stack Overflow's optimisation can be well optimized.

The main benefits I see are:
- familiarity with StackOverflow - everybody knows what it is and how to use it,
- knowledge is not lost in Slack - and the Slack-SOfT integration also helps. Also, the same things are not repeatedly rediscovered, as they're documented,
- compared to static pages of documentation (e.g. Confluence) - the nuggets of knowledge are much more piece-meal, and it's easier to keep them up-to-date (through swarming and reminders about the Content Health review),
- Articles serve the purpose of longer pieces of documentation quite well.
Also, the initial implementation was pretty painless - as always, the biggest challenge was to make the organizational change happen, so the content starts to appear there, and engineers ask questions and search for answers in SOfT first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The main problem I see is that we didn't really find a way to make SOfT work well for how-to guides, or more structured knowledge - you can have articles, collections, communities and tags, but it all is not really the same.
The biggest problem is finding something you don't know about that even exists. When you have a starting point for the whole documentation, you learn the concepts you need to be aware of. With the question/answer approach, it's not really possible because you don't know that you need to even ask about something or search for a specific question.

What I like best about Stack Overflow for Teams is how effortlessly it helps me find the information I'm looking for. The search functionality, combined with the robust tagging and categorization options, makes locating relevant answers and documentation a breeze. This feature alone has saved me so much time and increased my productivity significantly.
Additionally, the platform encourages a collaborative environment where asking questions and sharing answers is straightforward and engaging, making knowledge sharing within our team seamless and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing I dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams is that using AI features requires an additional payment. It would be great if AI capabilities were included within our current package. Having AI support as part of the standard offering would make the platform even more valuable and accessible for everyone on the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
