742 Stack Overflow for Teams Reviews
Being able to handle internal questions the same way you work with public/open source is fantastic. SO makes reusing knowledge surprisingly easy as you don't have to spend any extra time to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Initial login for SO teams has some frictions. It's not super easy to understand that creating a Teams account creates a public account as well, which creates an unnecessary burden of merging existing public accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have a community of engineers that are moments away from addressing company-specific problems. This is great because usually no, problem is unique. With Stack Overflow for teams we can look up to see if a problem has occured in the past and what methods where used to resolve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being a workplace StackExchange, the community is smaller than the wider Stack Exchange. Building the community is difficult for users not used to Stack overflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's just like standard SO, so the UX is familiar to the developers, and we get to have answers to common questions at the ready now. No more having to wait until someone with the knowledge is available to get an answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's honestly nothing that I dislike about the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Stack Overflow team was extremely quick and followed up quickly to any updates provided by my team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The search feature does not have an intelligent mechanism to identify the best post to answer the question asked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It helps that it's a familiar concept that I'm already used to (as an active user of Stack Overflow). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish I could tag groups or teams of people to specific answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It changed the way we are interacting with teams on their questions. it helps a lot for knowledge management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've been using it for a couple of months, and as of this writing, I haven't come across anything similar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The answer editor is the best part, followed by the search engine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The least helpful parts are the mechanisms to improve the signal/noise ratio. While they are very important in the public site, where we interact with unknown people, they are almost useless in SO for Teams where the communication between the team members is (hopefully) strong.

1. You use same tool you already get used to
2. Everyone in company see your questions in slack channel - so integration I very convenient
3. Everyone can search for solution - so new members onboearding is easier
4. You have a good addition to confluence which is easier to maintain up-to-date since every new reader may leave a comment with updates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. To join the company in SO I had to log off from my SO account and login again in join-the-company flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
information is centralized in one place, so it's easier to know where to looking for and search is a lot more efficient than other tools we were using to register knowledge.
Also every developer is acquainted with SO and this makes a lot easier to new team members since there is virtually no learning curve to use the tool and since is so familiar more people were encouraged to record knowledge that was previously restricted to one person, since it works so well more people search there before asking on or slack channel.
The email with summary of what happened in the week in the company's SO is very helpful too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think it would be nice if if it were easier to visually distinguish when I'm searching on my company's SO or when I'm searching in the public SO.
One thing that you could improve would be the possibility to select the pre existing tags in the search box, instead of having to consult them in that menu on the left of the screen, it is difficult to notice that menu.
Not related with the product per se but this question here was confusing "What is your industry when using this product?". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Stack Overflow for Team it's an excellent tool for development teams as a knowledge base.
A centralized and intuitive tool like Stack Overflow for Teams will help you to share the knowledge and reduce the dependency on team members.
Highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing is coming to my mind now. Instead, I consider handy and intuitive tool. Most developers are already familiarized with Stack Overflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
