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.

"Getting rid of knowledge silos and making a corporate culture shift"
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Stack overflow is a great tool to make knowledge reusable. It brings down knowledge silos within your organization since people from all over the company can ask and answer questions.

By surfacing the knowledge hidden in your employees' heads, you make it reusable - and that can save you a lot of time your employees might otherwise spend in meetings.

On top of this, Stack Overflow for Teams comes with integrations into MS Teams and Slack, which makes it an integration point for the various channels that we hide knowledge in today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

The UI can sometimes be a bit messy. The UI for asking, answering, commenting, and voting on questions is OK - these are the essential parts of the UI. The UIs for moderators, user profile management, and dashboards used to inspect statistics are sometimes messy, and things can be hard to find. Unfortunately, the help center is also not very prominently accessible, and although there is a host of helpful information in it, it's not easily accessible and not very well structured. For example, navigation between the help topics is not easily possible.

Also, the Stack Overflow instance is initially empty. Although a lot of the initial content needs to come from the company that deploys Stack Overflow, Stack Overflow could also provide some initial content. That mainly comprises best practice knowledge base articles and how-to's that people can read to get started quickly, e.g., how to ask questions correctly, answer them properly, what Stack should be used for, and whatnot.

"A Worthy FAQs System"
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

The best part of Stack Overflow for Teams is the polished Q&A style of Stack Overflow in a private instance to share among our technical teams. A close second is the live and robust search that helps uncover FAQs so users can get their answers fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Honestly, the toughest thing about Stack Overflow is trying to decide to ask questions in Slack or in Stack. We're currently in the habit of doing everything on Slack, which is nice for instant answers, but has poor search and no tagging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Way to Ask a Question Once and Find It Easily"
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Our development team uses Slack heavily but it was becoming difficult when a question was asked to make the proper answer clearly noted for everyone. Additionally it was very difficult for someone to come back and find the question and answer at a later date. If someone wasn't involved in the conversation or was a new hire forget about them even knowing where to look in Slack.

SO for Teams gives our team the ability to branch quickly from Slack into SO to record important questions/answers so that they're properly documented, a true answer is noted, and its easy to search/find later.

The Articles expansion was great for "non question" documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

No major complaints. Looking forward to feature expansion to get into some more wiki-light type documents which will really expand our ability to leverage the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The 'Stack Overflow for Teams' experience"
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

It's like being in the "regular Stack Overflow"... You know to handle it, and you know how everything works right from the start...

You don't need to learn a new thing to get the most out of it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

If it is a private work team, and you bring a lot of "know-how" to the team, if one day you have to change your company, you could lose access to all that knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for sharing knowledge within a team."
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

It is a great platform to share knowledge with team members. It is also centralized and can be consulted by future colleagues too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

You can't preview the markdown of a comment or question. Or maybe I just haven't figured it out yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great way for a company to centralize knowledge with a Q&A format."
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

The Q&A format incentivizes employees to ask pressing and common questions. I find this better than explaining everything you know in several Confluence pages where important issues might get lost.

Also, it can be easily integrated with Slack for new questions notifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

I don't know if it can fully replace a knowledge base like Confluence. Sometimes you need to write a big post with different steps and explanations, and I don't know if it fits in an answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An excellent way to build an in house knowledge base"
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Everyone on the team is already familiar with the Stack Overflow interface and workflow, and it's precisely the same for teams. After being finely honed for many years now, it is certainly a tried and true way to ask questions and get answers. In other words, it just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

The private team is only a razors edge separated from the public site. Though it hasn't happened yet, it may be too easy to post a question publically by mistake. It may be better to have a separate subdomain or something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best knowledge sharing platform for Software"

Feature to add QA content to share with peers or teammates. Teams feature is also great. Posting Questions and QA content is easy. It's compact and simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Nothing in particular. But the new Collectives feature can be improved even better. Overall it's a great platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Intelligent search experience makes the perfect condition for smooth workflows and assisting the colleagues when they are in the challenge and need some help.

The recommendations can be improved based on your search and in the meantime, more interactive bot can be implemented in the website to help with real time-assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for teams on internal projects"
What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Stack Overflow for teams is like a quick easy way to create documentation that can be referred to by others in the company. We have little resources and time to document everything while we're working, so this serves as a good reference until we can go back and document things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Some team members don't buy into using the tool so it doesn't get used quite as much as we'd like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
