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.

"Amazing tool for the teams"

5/5

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

It made working in the team so much easier. Before we were asking questions on slack between each other and all this knowledge was lost or hard to access. We improved our cooperation tons. And the introduction of the new team members takes half of the time it used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

No slack integration with private channels. That would make our life so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Revolutionized our knowledge sharing within 6 months"

5/5

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

I've been a contributor on the public StackOverflow site for years, and I felt this could benefit companies internally for a long while. After my employer to adopted the product, I was happy to see that everything I liked about the public StackOverflow site (clear format, reputation points, voting, moderation) is available and just as helpful in the SO for Teams product. Developers got used to asking and searching on SO rather quickly - probably thanks to the familiar format and relatively friendly UX. The fear factor preventing most developers from actually contributing content online seems to be all but eliminated by the internal nature of SO for Teams. I and many others report a reduction in time wasted answering repeated questions or searching for past answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

The only caveat is the price :) The per-user pricing model might be a bit steep for some companies. In our case, I think there's consensus that it's worth it, but that's a complex calculation to make. Also, the Search functionality can be slightly improved - as it sometimes misses a relevant answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Knowledge sharing across teams and sites was a challenging problem for us, with over 15 years of aggregated knowledge concentrating within specific teams or individuals. Newly onboarded developers, or even entire teams, waste much less time searching for solutions for problems ranging from technical issues with their local environment to best practices to design concepts.

"No more mind-dumps documentations!"

5/5

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Stack Overflow was my "go-to" place when having a problem for many years now. Announcing Stack Overflow for Teams made me very interesting, but only after the team made it free of charge for teams smaller than 50 I was able to convince anyone at the company to try and use it. Although it's not easy to convince people to actually use it, ask questions or answer them (apparently some people visit Stack Overflow, but barely engage and ask questions), once we actually managed to encourage them to do so, we got many questions we were otherwise not able to get with our daily communication tools (Teams, mail, and so on). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

The only thing that is to be disliked is the fact that you cannot add new tags from mobile. A somewhat weird (although understandable) restriction for the free model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stack Overflow for Teams:

Turn your documentation from a minddump to an interactive experience! It's very easy to start, so you can just try it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're making our documentation more interactive. We don't just write mind dumps, we react to questions from users. We encourage people to ask questions and know what should be documented. Thanks to that we not only onboard new developers in the project, we also ensure that these questions last longer for next developers to join us. Thanks to that we can ensure a living documentation. Previously some person, unwillingly, created a document thinking only about what can bu written down. Now, when someone asks a questions we know which parts of the system actually require a highlight. We not only write documents, now we are making them interactively into more complex, more readable documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stack overflows ease of use great search feature which interpolates searches and its AMAZING community that go out of its way to help are what make it special and differentiates it from other online communities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

The UI can be overwhelming and can be overhauled for a better user experience. As well an option to see which answers have been clicked on and searched before is good to sift through different solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use StackOverflow mainly as a resource to find solutions for increasingly complicated solutions as well as give back to the great community by answering their own questions. Without doubt, StackOverflow has increased our productivity as it cuts time in our search for solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent for development teams."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

StackOverflow for Teams allows our development team to share their knowledge on issues and doubts that appear in the development operations in a daily baiss. It's very well integrated with the global repository making so easy the navigation between each repository. It also helps to creates the culture of collaboration in the development field, not only consuming information globally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Only 50 free users are available for free, although it makes big sense! :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An excellent tool so that you have to answer questions once"

4/5

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

If you have a question that someone else has likely already had about the app, you can easily find someone's previous answer instead of asking again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Even though we have a slack integration, and there is incentive through the Stack Overflow point system, questions can get buried sometimes and never answered Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good reproduction of the StackOverflow Q&A service, could use more integrations"

4/5

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

SO for Teams is a better place to host longer-term documentation for your organization. A chat platform can retain history indefinitely but it will always lack organization. Having recognizable questions is a valuable form of documentation for discovery purposes. Moreover, editing existing answers with newer information is invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

The platform could offer better integration with third-party services by offering web-hooks. In particular, some of my organization uses Discord for communication, so having a webhook to relay questions to discord would be useful to notify users when a question is posted. At the moment, my organization has just begun to use SO for Teams, and we check the SO site much less frequently than our chat platforms like discord. That integration would certainly be helpful to bring more of the developers on our chat platform closer to our SO forum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
