Stack Overflow for Teams Pros and Cons

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

The search is very solid, although it will be interesting to see how it continues to fare against AI. The suggestions as a question is typed accelerates finding information and reduces chances of duplicates. The gamification of answers has created a friendly competition for speed and quality of answers.

The API offers good integration points which we've used for a custom Slack bot.

The ability to up/down vote is useful to promote one answer over another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Deactivated accounts still count against used seats, so you have to actually delete the account. This doesn't necessarily delete the data, but it renames the user to "user234". Having posts from "user234" after that person has left the company is not useful. It makes it harder to reach out to other colleagues of that person. It would be better if you could deactivate an account and at least retain the name of the user for posterity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
