742 Stack Overflow for Teams Reviews
Sharing knowledge (SO is basically a knowledgebase and FAQ combined into one) within the company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lack of mash-up collaborations...
There are other types of knowledgebase such as Atlassins wiki, etc that can be substituted; The incentives for Wiki is that (at least in our company) sort of the centralized documentations that people need to produce or consume to start and progress the projects. When there is one location that can bundle all the answers (but not in FAQ or knowledgebase way), why be redundant and create a separate knowledgebase on SO? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The simple interface that makes it easy to ask and answer questions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- The endless scrolling and pagination: it's hard to filter and search. People end up asking the same question over and over again.
- No admin control over the tags (creation rights). No easy tag selection (dropdown?)
- No suggestion to accept an answer when viewing it. No possibility to accept the answer from slack
- No custom reward scheme Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the privacy and tagging system. It's very easy to find out relatable stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing to dislike. It's all useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Comes with all the best parts of our StackOverflow
- It's private and we can discuss product internals in details and post code snippets
- External integrations like Microsoft Teams Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Not a lot of visual themes are available
- No user groups Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Slack integration that prompts our folks to ask their question on the Stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The downside is starting with no content. While folks are asking their questions there, they're not yet going there for quick answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ability to interact with others, keep track of popular topics, and easily search through data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's only useful if you use it... getting people to actively use Teams can be a challenge. Keeping track of what's canonical (and separating Teams answers from other canonical sources) can be challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Teams use the same concept of Stack Overflow it helps so much because everyone knows how to use it. The utilization and integration if the Stack Overflow database is very an advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing so far. Everything is very useful and easy to use. I love the dark theme. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The familiarity with the webpage, developers use stack overflow and this is "the same" environment.
The overview panel is really good, it allows you to filter and follow the responses.
The possibility as organization to make recruiting.
The capacity to give tags to the questions helps filtering out the relevant questions for each developer or engineer that is using the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Stack overflow for teams should have a bit of different way to show discussions, if everybody makes an answer to the topic (because of wrong usage) then you may end up with threads of threads where the communication is hard to be followed.
Team mates prefer other communication tools, like slack, better than stack overflow to share knowledge
I do not like that the karma points system is not shared with the one in stack overflow, at the end of the day, isn't that the same thing?
It is not super easy to jump between the normal stack overflow to the teams stack overflow. When we were making some recruiting actions this was kind of annoying, I wish there could be a tab on the top of the page to easily navigate between the one and the other platfroms.

It's like So. Decent number of free users.
Upvoting. Good questions.
Good search.
Ask a particular user is good
Integration to Microsoft teams works ok, not great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Less network effect in getting answers.
Too expensive to roll out for all, by user price always means you'll be drawing a line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The SO for teams product is an almost exact replica of the public SO product which is a fantastic service which I use daily, the interface is well known and all the engineers at my company understood how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There was no clear agreement on how to use the product, most questions don't lend themselves to the long wait for someone to notice it—teams expect quick responses more appropriate for Slack, or else require longer responses more appropriate for traditional documentation.
Overall we found that SO for Teams was a product in search of a problem, rather than solving a real problem that our business had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
