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.

Product Description

Stack Overflow for Teams is a knowledge sharing and collaboration platform that helps teams solve challenges at each stage of the development lifecycle. Access the knowledge you need, when you need it, to build better products.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

I like how fast and easy it is to add to our knowledgebase Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

I wish there was a way to organize it and integrate SO for teams with other documentation solutions like GitBook, Docusaurus, etc like an API to update those other resources when I update articles in SO. I hate having to update new docs in several places and we don't use SO for Teams as our only documentation source of truth as it doesn't fit every use case we need.

Better integration with other solutions is lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use SO for Teams as a means of quick and painless storage of knowledge and solutions. We are currently storing problems that we've solved but not finalized. Once finalized, we add the solutions to our more permanent docs. SO is like a work in progress solutions generator to decrease the barrier for people to write docs fast Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

The tool works great. It's the Stack Overflow you know and love, but with a private scope for questions about business rules, specific code from your company, tooling, etc. Anything internal that doesn't belong on public SO. It has its own rep system, just like the real deal, so you get gamification. It's very searchable; you have tags for experts, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

It's yet another tool for sharing information. Sharing knowledge might be the one biggest problems in any company of more than one person. And there are already countless solutions to such a problem: slack, notion, code docs, figma, email, google docs, etc. But I think SO for Teams fills in a specific niche on the scale of structured <-> non structured that no other tool that I know of fills (or if there are others, I am confident the SO expertise will make this one the best). The question is, do you need yet another tool? Was that empty niche a gap o was it already partially covered by the solutions immediately above or below the "structure-ness" scale? I guess it's up to your company to evaluate and figure it out! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sharing information and knowledge amonsgt people and teams. How to do things, how things work, why are things this way. But, as I said, there is *no* one end-all solution. And there are definitely plenty out there. It's up to you, your team, your company to built your toolkit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

So I can only speak for myself here, but I like two things. First of all, the straightforward design makes for a good user experience. Also, I like the idea of having a "library" of common knowledge for your specific use case. Especially for newer people, it's an excellent way to know the common problems and bugs that occur. If something doesn't work, I always check Stack Overflow Teams first. Maybe one of my coworkers already posted an answer. If I find a bug and know how to solve it, on the other hand, I will ask how to solve it in our SO-Teams and answer myself. This way, the specific error case is documented for the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

I honestly don't dislike anything. Since I've only been using Stack Overflow for Teams for about three months now, there could be things that I haven't experienced, but for now, I am pleased with the state of the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stack Overflow for Teams:

We often use the "answer yourself" function. It's a great way to inform others about the solution to a reoccurring problem. You ask the question regarding the issue and just answer yourself under it. This way, if somebody searches for a problem they have, there would be an answer already! It's a great way to reduce the time it takes to solve problems. Also, the documentation of frequent problems helps to plan ahead and reduce the problem solving time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use it as a "library" to share common knowledge that we need every once in a while. This way, you don't have to ask the same question over and over again. It also is used to ask a bit more complex questions, of which the answer could be beneficial for everybody in the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

The ability to store internal technical questions is very useful when you can't ask the same specific questions outside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

At times it's difficult to organize questions and takes some self-organizing. Tagging is sporadic, would be nice to have better ways to find and organize questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

SO for Teams allows you to empower knowledgeable people within the organization and build up a living knowledge base filled with canonical answers. It can be synced with Slack via integration, giving it easy searchability with less of Slack's ephemerality/chatter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

It needs to be rolled out carefully and configured well to be most effective. It's probably easier to do this at a larger organization. I'd recommend getting multiple people to manage it and put a firm policy in place to get internal questions/answers flowing. I'd specifically recommend setting up tags in advance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stack Overflow for Teams:

Get buy-in from stakeholders on multiple teams, make it clear to everyone at your company when they should consider asking questions and what the expectations are for getting/crafting answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're not seeing much adoption. I feel it has potential, but we haven't strongly routed questions there so it's a bit of a ghost town. Questions go unanswered, and there's not much clarity around what role SO should play in our continuum of internal support and knowledge base building. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

I like the familiar Q&A format, ability to tag key people, and adding topic tags to questions. One of the best things about it is it is the single point of information and I am unsure what would rival it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
