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.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

"A superb tool for not only sharing knowledge, but building a knowledge suppository for team"

5/5

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

I like that team members can share valuable learnings within a smaller team and of course, StackOverflows great search function means people searching almost always will find something relevant if it exists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

I'm not overly fond of the reputation. I feel that it somewhat stops people with a low reputation from contributing. I believe this is human nature and of course the more they contribute, the better their reputation. Any ideas on how to encourage team members to get over that initial hurdle would be most appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stack Overflow for Teams:

Might be a bit slow to get others to take up the concept, but once it gets going, its a superb tool for knowledge sharing in a small team (35 team members). If you have high staff turnover, this helps massively with inductions as new starters can help themselves a lot of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stack Overflow for Teams solving and how is that benefiting you?

SQL coding issues in a complex data environment, R coding issues in the same environment, but also a lot of general items for new starters, i.e. where is this? what does this acronym stand for? Its been a superb tool to get new starters off the ground and being able to learn the ropes at their own pace. It also helps when a team is extra busy to have written answers as opposed to have to bother somebody who is busy with what could be seen as a silly question.

"Excellent Q&A Platform"

5/5

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Probably the most useful Q&A platform for your IT team out there, and of course, it can be much more than that. Incredible tool.

Just several clicks and everyone can go in and collaborate. Most of the IT crowd is already familiar with it, and who isn't it should not take long to get used to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Not a "Stack Overflow for Teams" fault, but the system does not write your questions and answers for you, so the team will have to be encouraged to use it until it will be everyone's go-to resource.

The hardest bit for inexperienced team members to get used to is the text formatting system and the importance of tags can be missed by people, but that are again two incredible features, that people should simply learn to use or leave to the admins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stack Overflow for Teams:

Possibly my recommendation for anyone will be: make sure your team chooses it, at the end of the day it is almost a content creation platform, the users need to like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stack Overflow for Teams solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fo us "Stack Overflow for Teams" is a powerful tool for helping team members to collaborate with each other and other teams. Questions by anyone that can be answered by anyone and easily be found again by someone else as a core of it.

Here is a comment from one of our team members: "a lot more precise and concentrated location when we have questions".

Additionally, we also use it to brainstorm some ideas and decisions that need more time and more thought. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I get the same experience of stack overflow except that the answers are easier to find instead of having to sort through slack messages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Most of my questions are answered on slack, so I don't think to check stack overflow for teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Stack Overflow for Teams is bridging the company silos by Q&A knowledge reuse"

5/5

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Connect with colleagues from different areas of the company that you would otherwise never do. I have already exchanged with a least a dozen colleagues from other departments because of it. So one could say this is also an excellent networking platform.

The strength of Stack is on the questions and answers and the reputation system. That helps to surface the most relevant content to the top and rewards the users (especially the reputation hunters!) for keeping the content neat and up to date. It takes the burden out of the shoulders of the SMEs with the knowledge reuse. It is straightforward to find colleagues willing to help with any topic by clicking on the "top users" for any tag. Very nice to create custom feeds about the topics (tags) that you work. The search capabilities are also very flexible. You can customize the search results to your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

No ABAP syntax highlight support - which is essential for our company

MS Teams integration only connects to one single MS Teams Team

The Slack integration currently allows external Slack users to use /stack search command even without having a user on the instance.

It is not possible to filter the data by anything else other than time intervals on the dashboards.

I know all these points are being looked at by Stack :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stack Overflow for Teams:

As any project, you need to have great executive engagement and support. In Stack Overflow for Teams this is especially important. We've seen that it is especially motivating when the company leadership uses the solution to answer questions the employees might have about different internal company topics. This really drives the adoption and engagement of the tool, so pick good executive sponsors. Also, it positively impacts the company culture, but changing behaviors is not easy. People tend to fall back to the lowest denominator of collaboration which is emails quite often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stack Overflow for Teams solving and how is that benefiting you?

Find where to or to whom to ask a question. This isn't easy in several scenarios for big companies where several different tools are used that can support Q&As. With the increase of Stack adoption in the company, we expect to see a slight decrease in the number of meetings as the information should flow more freely and be more easily accessible inside the company.
