742 Stack Overflow for Teams Reviews
It's very helpful to have answers to common problems specific to your organization in a persistant, searchable format. If solutions or technical information live mostly in chat channels, it can be hard to share learnings more broadly thoughout the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since StackOverflow is a separate platform, if no one visits the website it won't have any content. That seems self-evident, but if you do adopt StackOverflow for your team you will need to plan some sort of effort to ensure adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That I and others of the team can easily ask our questions, and then type in an answer, and in this way share knowledge with the team. This is then easily searchable so that other people on my team can find a solution and thus save time/learn how to do things more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I don't like is that sometimes it is hard to find the answer to the question you are looking for. You may know that there is an answer, as you have seen it before, but you may not know exactly what to search for. Due to this limitation, our team also requires the use of a wiki, where we share articles. I just found out though that you get this feature if you upgrade to the 'Business tier', which then is a great combination of the best of two worlds, Q & A and wiki in one package.

Stack Overflow is a well-known and much used platform in the IT sector around the world. It is easy to use, and it enables smooth knowledge exchange within the company. It has great search capabilities, tag management and can draw the right content to the right people and vice versa. The support for the platform is excellent - we get special treatment and lots of recommendations. All questions are answered fast and with helpful tips and suggestions.

There isn't much to dislike with Stack Overflow. The only thing to mention is that it is a different kind of platform - requires active user interaction, and it takes some time to adjust - to draw the audience and add the initial knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like having essential knowledge available to all in one place which you can search on. It is a much better solution than having a Wiki page which is harder to organize and be alerted for when there are new questions/answers.
I also like the "Digest" emails which show you new questions and more.
Having this platform filled with valuable, searchable content saves a ton of time - especially for new employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have yet to encounter anything I disliked Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The option to qualify an answer to a question: it helps you to identify the best solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is not a dislike, but I would like to have the option to organize some key questions, that I think will be useful in a different moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really like to be able to keep a history of all questions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's free for small teams, but in a small team there aren't many questions that need a forum. For bigger teams it gets pricey, mainly if you are a no-profit or an open-source organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how the product, design, and enablement teams at my company can track trends in questions being asked. This is giving us valuable insight into what is not intuitive about our product as well as what is not being covered adequately enough in our training materials.

I heavily use the dashboard and wish it was more customizable. I'd like to be able to see charts of visitors per day and other metrics which I can manually create by exporting the CSV and creating these charts on my own. I'd also like to be able to filter the 'Users' page by groups to compare reputation points. I track reputation points of our SMEs to award high performance as incentive. As of now I have to search through all users to compare SME reputation points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We reduced support requests across all teams. Answers to questions are captured on the platform and immortalized instead of being temporarily stored on Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The articles and collection features need work. It tries to solve something that is already solved and is useless to the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The most helpful feature is finding answers to questions I encounter along the way, and my colleagues may have already experienced before. The answers are very clear, easy to understand, and very useful throughout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I haven't found a downside just yet, I really like it so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how Stack overflow allows trying it out for free and see if it works for your company.

As I've heard, the project is restricted to certain countries - which is not good, I think software should be available globally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
