"Better search capability than Slack and Confluence"
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?
Better search capability than Slack and Confluence
Question and answer format isn’t well suited to Confluence
Easier to see the answer
Comments can be added to questions and answers and don’t distract, whereas in Slack, it adds to a long thread that the user has to wade through to find the answer (if there is one). In Confluence, the comment functionality seldom gets used.
Multiple answers can be added for a question
Questions and answers are both wikis – they can be edited and improved/fixed by any user (not just the user who posted it). In Slack, messages posted by others are not editable, and messages that can be edited by the poster are only editable for 24 hours.
Users get reputation for questions and answers that they provide and that get voted up, adding a gamification aspect, and also giving the posters gratification that others are benefiting from their efforts.
Answers can be accepted and voted up, which makes more valuable answers bubble to the top, and indicate to users that others have found them useful.
Tags make it easy to see all questions for a given tag, which users can use to gain education in a given area, and help users get more context to ask better questions. Looking at questions for a tag is an FAQ for that subject.
Subject matter experts (SME’s) can be associated with tags, so that those users get notified when a new question is asked with that tag.
Users are already familiar with the Stack Overflow format because of the public Stack Overflow site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?
I don't have any major complaints I can think of off the top of my head that directly relates to the way the platform works. Sometimes members of the community can be a bit rude but that is the nature of the beast with online communities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
