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?

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.

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

We needed a tool for technical Q&A that had solid formatting options, a community feeling, and a search that works. Confluence couldn't meet that need due to absence of Q&A format and poor search results. Slack is not a documentation tool and searching for information is also terrible. Stack Overflow filled the gap. I think AI is going to present a formidable challenge for SO to remain relevant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Stack overflow is a really useful tool. It's great for enablement if you're new to a role, and it's been a great resource for me to find technical knowledge about questions others have already posed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

1. the search capability is not great - it's hard to find similar questions that have been posed and answered previously unless you use the exact same terminology that was used by the previous poser.

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Using Stack Overflow for Teams has allowed us to reduce the number of questions and support tickets that come to our product team and SME's by increasing the ability for people to self-service and answer their own questions. They can quickly and easily search for similar questions allowing them to solve their own problems before submitting a question. We have also been able to integrate it seemlessly with Slack so that new questions automatically post to a slack channel, gaining greater visibility so that users can get answers faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stack Overflow for Teams?

There has been so much usage that I am finding it difficult to keep up with the volume of questions that come in. This is not a fault of the product but rather of how we have it set up an our process to manage it. As far as features within Stack Overflow, I have yet to find one that it is lacking or that doesnt work well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

Its a great place where you can ask questions and get the answers from teams across the organizations and build knowledge base along the way. I really like the suggestions for previously asked questions. You can always refer the person to the previously answered questions and you don't need to go through the effort to identify the issue and answer again. Integrating it with other knowledge tools is also very easy and you can create a AI chatbot around the knowledge as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stack Overflow for Teams?

StackOverflow has positively transformed the way knowledge is centralized across different teams in our company. I personally rely on it daily to consult the previous questions and answers asked by my coworkers and I think it is easy to use with tags that pings the dedicated team and this implementation made the response time fast and efficient.

Overall, StackOverflow has become an indispensable tool for our team's success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
