Stack Overflow for Teams Overview

What is Stack Overflow for Teams?

Stack Overflow for Teams is a knowledge-sharing platform that facilitates the collection, curation, and dissemination of your company’s knowledge. We do this by providing a platform that’s familiar to developers, embedded into developer workflows, and closes the distance between people and the knowledge they need, using gamification to encourage contribution and engagement. The community-based platform connects knowledge seekers and domain experts through an easy-to-use Q&A tool developers already know with additional functionality built in to ensure institutional knowledge is validated, accessible, and up-to-date both now and in the future. OverflowAI, our new GenAI-powered features for Stack Overflow For Teams Enterprise, helps connect technologists to solutions faster by doing the heavy lifting of searching for technical and institutional knowledge by surfacing and sourcing answers in natural ways, in the environments developers work in.

"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.

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

I love that SO for teams helps our teams not ask the same questions again, makes onboarding easier, signals recurring problems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

We haven't found a way to integrate with Mattermost to deliver notifications about questions. There could exist an integration like this already, not sure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good, but has to fit the usecase"
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Overall, the great thing is that you can ask all the internal code-related questions in your team. Also, the main advantage over Slack is that you can upvote the best answers, along with a lot of nice-to-have features, like proper formatting and the "accepted answer". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

It's a bit hard to get people to use it. And if not enough people use it, you won't get your answers. That's the main downside, I think it's a great tool overall. It's also a bit hard to decide what goes into Slack and what goes into Stackoverflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A must have for every developer"
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Stackoverflow is the place where developers can meet. If you don't sleep at night because you cannot resolve a issue, Stackoverflow people can help you sleep again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

It would be cool if stackoverflow would create a real community all around the world with several meetings in different countries. I think it must become something more than a forum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Knowledge sharing is critical to effective teams."
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Knowledge sharing is critical for our teams to run effectively. Stack Overflow gives us a central place for staff to get answers to their questions.

As contractors, we need to be able to jump between projects quickly. This is just impossible without a good knowledge base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

It takes a while for the knowledge base to build up to a 'critical mass' before staff will start relying on it as THE place to look first. It is 'yet another' tool that staff need to be aware of when they start at the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Reliable and Familiar Resource For My Team"
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

I love the Stack Overflow format. Since my team and I work with about 10 different programming languages, this is a great way to document our findings and help each other solve problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

There really isn't much to dislike. The most difficult part is getting the buy-in from the rest of the team. We are trying to make it a habit to use it, so we will see how that goes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Stack Overflow for teams is the best knowledge management solution for engineering teams"
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Stack Overflow's public offering is, at this point, well known. Stack Overflow for teams provides all the same features, at a reasonable cost for small teams, with good integrations with Slack, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

It would be ideal to have seamless Slack/other-to-Stack Overflow conversions and other knowledge management capabilities past those available in the public version of Stack Overflow. Managing your knowledge within your own team can be difficult, and curating and maintaining the information in Stack Overflow can be time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

"All the benefits of Stack Overflow, specific to your company"
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

The best part of Stack Overflow for Teams is that it allows developers in our company to ask quick or "informal" questions in a way that can easily be documented, referenced, searched, and well-formatted. The tagging feature can be customized to implement tags for our company's software, including descriptions and Wiki data for the custom tags. Stack Overflow for Teams allows different departments, like QA, to interface with software developers directly, increasing our company's knowledge base and improving cross-team communication and understanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

The only negative mentioned in our company that stands out is the searching abilities; the combination of questions and answers found in search results is a bit cluttered, and it was mentioned that the searching algorithm is not quite as "fuzzy" as Google's, meaning search terms must be typed out more precisely. A minor thing I was personally thinking about was the seeming inability to disable downvotes -- for smaller companies, there may not be a need for "negative feedback" such as downvotes, and allowing Stack Overflow for Teams administrators to disable the option to downvote may encourage utilization of the software, with the options being either upvote or ignore an answer.

"A knowledge base for the whole company"
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Stack Overflow for Teams is increasingly becoming my preferred knowledge base. I see myself looking first on Stack Overflow instead of internal documents, wikis and blogs. Through a good search system and objective Q&As, you get what you want faster, not only for code-related questions but generic information, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

We devs are used to the UI because we need the info and technical people tend to value information over experience, but non-technical people would benefit from a better UX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
