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?

Developers and technologists are habitually on Stack Overflow searching for solutions, asking questions to get help, sharing their knowledge, and advancing their skill sets. In fact, over 50 million developers rely on Stack Overflow with 81% visiting the site at least a few times per week. It’s critical to their career success, but not all knowledge belongs in the public domain.

That’s where Stack Overflow for Teams comes in - it’s a private instance of Stack Overflow for your company so you can discover both public and private knowledge. Since Stack Overflow is already integral to how technologists work, Stack Overflow for Teams makes it easy to share institutional knowledge in a private, central place.

Stack Overflow for Teams is used by companies of all sizes and across a wide range of industries, looking to boost productivity and collaboration with persistent, just-in-time knowledge sharing.

"Same old Stack Overflow, new digs"

5/5

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

I love that the Stack Overflow interface for teams is exactly the way I expect it to look from years of experience using it for personal projects and work. Everything is exactly where I expect it to be and nothing is out of place. The same highly effective voting system helps separate good answers from mediocre or "poor" answers, and the points system gamifies work just enough to be valuable, without encouraging poor contributions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

The only thing I don't love about SO for teams is that it's sometimes easy to end up in the "primary" Stack Overflow interface/main page. On more than one occasion, I have mistakenly started drafting a question with some sensitive, company-specific information and nearly published it to the public Stack Overflow knowledge base. This is, obviously, a bad thing. I'd like to see the interface do a better job of making it clear when the user switches between the private and public spaces, though the ability to do so relatively seamlessly is wonderful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're solving an incredible number of problems. The biggest, in my estimation, is that questions that were often answered in direct messages or in public channels on Slack now are being posted to Stack Overflow, and then are well documented for other users at the company to find. This format works far better than something like a wiki (read Confluence or similar) type knowledge base, since not all questions are truly "FAQs" and parsing through a knowledge base is much more cumbersome than individual pages for individual questions.

"Great Collaboration Tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Upvoting each other's posts to increase collaboration throughout the company. The best part about this platform for me is the gamification aspect. It is amazing to see the whole company reputation going up as we collaborate with each other. I really enjoy the fact that you can place bounties on people's posts to increase the likelihood of it being answered. Now when people ping me on teams I can easily direct them to a stack overflow post instead of simply asking it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

I think it's weird that when a poster marks a post as the right answer, the answer with the most upvotes is still on top. I would rather have it that if the poster marks the message as correct it is now the top answer. Visually this make more sense for me due to that fact that it is more right. Why would an answer not selected as right be up top? That doesn't make much sense to me. However, I understand the need for the voting system to be in place so users can collectively agree on the best answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stack Overflow for Teams:

I would highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

A single place where all answers to questions can be found instead of siloed answers. Stack overflow integration with teams is nice because this is mostly where I do my day-to-day work. I don't have to leave teams to go to another site. It is also nice that users can comment directly on the posts. I can use teams functionality to use i. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A well-known place"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Knowledge sharing, docs, FAQs... are a commonplace in the needs of any team of developers. SO for Teams provides a familiar place for the whole team, with all the Stack Overflow tagging and gamification structure with the privacy needed for your daily teamwork. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

I miss a live Markdown text editor; some teammates are not used to Markdown, and sometimes, answers' styling is lost. Furthermore, I wouldn't change anything else. Well... Only one plus thing: a nicer exporter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Preguntas frecuentes, documentación ligera, pero también patrones de código, code smells, algoritmos, librerías, problemas conocidos, workarounds... ¡Lo que cabe en Stack Overflow es prácticamente todo!

"A private Stackoverflow"

4.5/5

You can reuse the already existing stackoverflow-account. Also handling and mark-down style will be known to all software-engineering folks. It works flawless and is really nice to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

We are currently a SME where communication via stackoverflow for teams competes with direct messaging, video calls and other ways to communicate. We still need to find the right way to decide what to ask where. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A very useful tool that helps a lot in the work process"

5/5

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

The separation between the public and the team network is advantageous. The fact that in the team, we usually work with the same technologies and projects, and we go through the same problems, having a separate platform for that makes the diagnosis a lot faster. Also, because we know each other in most cases, the discussion is more fluent, and threads become more explicit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

I can't find anything that I dislike about StackOverFlow Teams. Even in the public channel, it was the tool that saved my life most of the time on the bug resolution process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stack Overflow for Teams:

Maybe if we add a private discussion tool for a more fluid process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The team is made for our school. We use it to ask questions about our projects in general or about the school process. There are always students that worked before you on some problem, so you either find solutions to a similar issue, or you ask about it, and they help you. I realized that I was going a lot faster using this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not just a Q&A Platform anymore"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Stack Overflow is the first line of defense in protecting people's valuable time. Time is a limited resource; everyone admits that. Having a place where folks know they can conduct technical collaboration saves people time and builds community, especially when folks work virtually around the globe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Since my company uses Microsoft Teams instead of Slack, some of the neat integration features take additional time to show up there, whereas slack has had them for months already. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stack Overflow for Teams:

Before introducing Stack Overflow in your community, be sure to pre-load as much content into the platform as possible and then upon release, make a big splash, have incentives ready to give people for participating right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We see a material reduction in context switching for our SMEs. Also, internally we have many different places to write documentation, and Stack Overflow provides an easily searchable way to link people to any platform by creating a question on stack to link-to any platform.
