Sales Specialist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool for collective knowledge" April 17, 2024 4.0 Custom questions and answers tailored to your team's needs are available. Very easy to incorporate and put into action. For a quarter I used it frequently without having to contact customer service. Pros We love using stackoverflow teams to document our collective knowledge when it comes to real coding problems, answers, and solutions. Teams are a great asset to our organization because of their fast searching, voting, ability to improve responses in real time, and ability to add more information as the stack evolves. Cons I guess the biggest drawback is that a lot of people ask questions outside of SO, which reduces the amount of information that can be searched there. It depends a lot on the company culture and how they approach this toolset. Switched from [Coda](https://www.capterra.com/p/193164/Coda/) If you are facing a similar issue or have a query that you have already resolved, you can easily share it with your co-workers. One of the strongest points of stackoverflow is the integrations it provides, which make it easy to integrate with other internal systems. Review Source AJ C. Project Support Graphic Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It has Helped Speed Up Web Development" August 14, 2019 4.0 It has been very beneficial for newer employees with limited HTML and Javascript experience Pros What our office has benefited most from with Stack is for our more graphic employees that don't know so much about javascript. As a graphic design firm, all of our employees are well versed in Adobe suite and digital design. However, sometimes projects call for implementing these designs with animation through Javascript - when employees don't know where to turn to we always used GITs from Stack. Cons The interface is definitely difficult to understand for people who have never used it before - once GIT is understood and how to push and pull repositories, it certainly becomes much easier. Alternatives considered [GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/) Reason for choosing Stack Internal We had a previously established GIT repository on stack and decided to keep everything in a central location Review Source Response from Stack Overflow August 16, 2019 Hi Aj, Thanks for your review. It's great to hear that Stack Overflow for Teams is helping new employees get up to speed. Let us know if we can be of help to you all. Jonathan S. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Teams is a private " December 6, 2018 5.0 Our experience has been extremely positive. We have seen quick adoption and everyone appreciates the answers and questions that we are currently using it for. It has turned into our primary internal knowledge base. I am also very satisfied with their outreach to active users during the development of new features. Pros I really like how Stack Exchange took the highly successful Q&A format of Stack Overflow and brought it to teams via Stack Overflow Teams. It works well for our company because everyone is already familiar with finding the answers to their questions on Stack Overflow and many of our employees are contributors (as answerers) as well. It has encouraged our employees to contribute high-quality questions and answers to help others with similar questions in the future. The long format also encourage answers with rich content such as images and external links. Cons Stack Overflow Teams is still undergoing active development. For example, Slack integration (a way to encourage internal adoption) was a little slow to arrive (but it's here now!). During this development period, you just have to be patient. Thankfully, Stack Exchange has a great team that values their users' feedback so the awaited features they ship will definitely meet your needs and if they don't, they want to hear about it. Review Source Response from Stack Overflow December 10, 2018 Thanks for sharing your experience using Teams! Glad to hear that you've had a positive experience so far. If you have any feedback you'd like to share about the features or integrations of Teams, you can email: bdevine@stackoverflow.com. Chandrakeerthan P. student Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Just Great" March 9, 2023 5.0 With the use of the internet, Stack Overflow for teams enables team collaboration and problem-solving from anywhere in the world. free software. Using it is simple. So much time can be saved. Pros Stack Overflow is a tool that our developers adore (s). We frequently use Stack Overflow to ask development-related questions or get advice on how to go forward with our code base. The user base is fantastic and extremely helpful. Cons There is nothing bad i can say about this software. Review Source Kirti V. The Future of Business Management and Operations Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Unlocking Your Team's Potential with Stack Overflow for Teams" February 16, 2023 5.0 One of the key benefits of Stack Overflow for Teams is the ability to reduce redundant or repetitive work. Instead of each team member having to research and solve problems on their own, they can easily search for existing solutions or ask questions to the rest of the team. Pros Transform the way your team works and collaborates with Stack Overflow for Teams.Get faster and more accurate answers to your team's technical questions with Stack Overflow for Teams.Elevate your team's productivity with Stack Overflow for Teams, the ultimate knowledge sharing platform. Cons Collaborate and innovate like never before with Stack Overflow for Teams, the ultimate Q&A platform for your organization.Simplify your team's workflow and improve communication with Stack Overflow for Teams, the centralized hub for all your technical questions. Review Source Dimitri S. Community member Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A informatational, but cluttered place for code." November 7, 2018 4.0 Stackoverflow is our go-to issue resolving tool in regards to bugs and not knowing how to do things in code. And more often the only source of good information in regards to specific bugs. Even though quite a bit of the entries are dated. Pros The amount of information available in regards to programming issues is very nice. This helps a ton in development, and helps preventing having to reinvent the wheel all the time. The indepth-ness of said information is usually quite high, allowing for people to easier understand future/similar problems from that point on wards. Cons The elitist feel it often gives, which makes it fairly hard to get into the product. However, once you reach a point of understand why, the point of the product has also reached you. Review Source Response from Stack Overflow December 11, 2018 Thanks for sharing your feedback with us, Dimitri! Our team is actively working to make the product feel more inclusive and easier to use for new Stack Overflow users. Isalanya M. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A good platform for resolving errors and getting more information on errors faced" November 4, 2022 5.0 Very informative and helpful software tool open to the community. Pros As a developer, i use this software daily! This is the first place i run to when i stumble into errors that i have failed to resolve! Very open for everyone to contribute and learn from each other. Cons The software may prove tricky for someone new who doesn't know how to put code in their questions and also how to format the questions on the platform. Review Source Mohammad A. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### ""Ideas and knowledge sharing platform."" February 24, 2023 4.0 Stack Overflow for team - helps in collaborate with team also and solve problems from any corner of the world with help of internet. Open source. Easy to use. Save our so much time. Pros Stack Overflow for team - a repository type platform where ideas and information from different country and corner comes. It provides a platform where we can write our views and we can correct someone by commenting if he/she is wrong. It is used in my team to get knowledge of different topics. It allows us to see a single problem from no of sights. It means if we post single question then no of people gives no of solution according to their way of thinking. Q&A feature is very supportive for users. Cons On this platform sometimes user get confused in searching exact solution. It must having filter option to get the desired result. Integration issue.

Automation Test Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good helping and clarifying doubts(nice articals)" July 16, 2019 5.0 i recommended this tool overall any doubt s Pros when ever i have doubt about coding using this articals Fully supporting and clarified Cons i think there is no dislikes about this tool very good aritcals and more than two answers is available Review Source Response from Stack Overflow July 26, 2019 Thanks for your review, Sarath. George S. Solutions Architect Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good Resource; Product finding its way" November 7, 2018 5.0 I love Stack Overflow and I love their ethic. I continue to hold out hope that if anyone can solve the thorny problem of cataloguing and documenting software development and making it actionable to stakeholders; they can. Pros Stack Overflow has solved many previous hard problems - Finding relevant content - Making authorship of Q & A easy and targetted Cons \- It still feels like a bolt-on to the Q & A. - It presupposes that useful documentation takes the form of Q & A - In an enterprise; I can't add 'yet another' way to document things. We have five currently; and I can't get Q & A to be 6 (Google Site Wiki; Google Docs; Gitlab Wikis; Gitlab git repos; JIRA) Review Source Response from Stack Overflow December 10, 2018 Thanks for sharing your feedback, George! We're actively working on ways to integration Stack Overflow for Teams into your existing workflows with other tools - our hope it that eventually it will replace things like wikis and outdated documentation. Alessio L. Web developer Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Una libreria per programmatori" December 13, 2022 4.0 Pros Stack overflow è una vastissima libreria creata per i programmatori, dove se stai cercando qualcosa che non riesci a fare sicuramente qua dentro la troverai se no basterà creare una domanda e aspettare una risposta dalle moltissime persone che ci navigano Cons Pecca un po' a livello di interfaccia grafica, ma il suo funzionamento è perfetto Review Source OJ Owen J. Project Director Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "4\* - useful as a knowledge base" November 7, 2018 4.0 My team maintains an open-source project that revolves around Stack Overflow and the Stack Exchange network. We use Teams primarily as a knowledge base and support hub, which has allowed us to move away from using GitHub issues and wikis for these purposes to a much more appropriate format. Teams also has the benefit for us of being directly integrated into Stack Overflow, where we're all already working, so all our content is right there when it's needed. Pros Teams follows the same Q&A pattern used on Stack Overflow itself, which many developers will already be familiar with. The Q&A pattern also makes it an excellent tool for knowledge bases, which is how my team uses it - instead of writing The One True Help Article for each KB topic, asking a question for it allows the whole team to collaborate in sharing the nuances they've picked up but wouldn't otherwise have an easy way to share. Cons Teams doesn't come with the same moderation tools that Stack Overflow itself does. While that's probably not a problem for companies (rule infractions or misconduct can be handled through HR's disciplinary procedures), it may make it not as suited to less formal teams such as those maintaining open-source projects. These projects often require more moderation than a company's use-case would do, which Teams lacks proper support for. Review Source Response from Stack Overflow December 10, 2018 Thanks for sharing your feedback, Owen! We definitely hear your concern about moderation tools, and will keep that in mind as we continue to develop the product. HM Hamza M. Software Engineer Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Collective Informational Place for the entire Organziation" July 24, 2021 4.0 Pros A Place that solved almost every problem we faced every day, a big community posting, and helping people is the best thing. The sheer fact that anybody can post answers and provide solutions is such a life and time saver for everyone. Cons Sometimes I see some duplicate answers and that really confuses me, they should have a flag system to avoid duplicate answers and Teams doesn't have the same integrations as Slack I think if this gets fixed it would make it even more exciting to use. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Desarrollador de software Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very useful to ramp up your new teammates." June 24, 2020 5.0 Really cool, I love it and I would use it if I started to run my own company. Pros This software works like a knowledge database. It is very useful given that a junior developer can leave open questions for another devs in the office (Even those protected by an NDA). Cons Manual tag system can make that you have to train your team to correctly use it. Otherwise it can be counterproductive for new mates. Review Source Response from Stack Overflow June 25, 2020 Thanks for the review. We're glad that you find Stack Overflow for Teams helpful. We'll be sure to pass on your feedback regarding the tagging system. CK Caleb K. Contact Developer Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's Gold. Radio Gold" November 7, 2018 5.0 Pros It lets me share the knowledge I have with people that want it. Cons Nothing. Stack Overflow is just overall wonderful. Review Source Response from Stack Overflow December 10, 2018 Thanks for sharing your experience using Teams, Caleb! VR Verified Reviewer Developer and VP of Minesweeping Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Product, with a Great Future!" December 7, 2018 5.0 Pros I really like how the search finds both "Teams" and regular SO answers and shows you them on the same page with clear separation Cons Some theme colors might make the above-mentioned separation less clear Review Source Response from Stack Overflow December 10, 2018 Thanks for your feedback! Our team is actively working to make the distinction between Stack Overflow for Teams and public Stack Overflow more clear. Stay turned for updates soon! JC Julian C. Senior Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Say bye to repetitive questions by your colleagues" December 6, 2018 5.0 Pros \* The slack integration is wonderful \* Having your workplaces knowledge hub built into your stackoverflow account; which you already log in to on a daily basis, is awesome. \* Having repetitive questions asked there and answered once, in return increasing my productivity and time is incredible. Cons I would definitely like to see a way to have a bit more integration to slack or other products. Review Source Response from Stack Overflow December 10, 2018 Great to see that you're using the Slack integration, Julian! Are there any specific integrations you'd like to see in particular? VR Verified Reviewer CI Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great depository of the knowledgebase " November 27, 2023 4.0 Pros Ideal software for developers looking for help with their codes and since they have tied up with Microsoft its credible information on which you can rely. Cons it does not offer on site server and only cloud based storage of database which some companies might not like Review Source Alanna M. Business Analyst Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Stack Overflow Review" June 5, 2019 5.0 Pros I love that you can ask any question on here and post your code and people can answer you in real-time. It creates a really collaborative environment. Cons There wasn't really anything I liked least, maybe the layout could look a bit cleaner but nothing of great importance. Review Source Response from Stack Overflow July 24, 2019 Hi Alanna, Thanks for your review of Stack Overflow for Teams. It's great to hear you find value in our internal knowledge sharing solution! VR Verified Reviewer System Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A great way to make StackOverflow an internal tool to cross department knowledge" January 30, 2020 5.0 Very good experience and a great way to share knowledge between teams. Pros Stack Overflow for Teams is what I always hoped Stack Overflow could be. It lets us maintain our own space internally for any departmental specific development knowledge. When the company is growing it is easy to lose a lot of this knowledge and Stack keeps it organized for us. Cons You have to have people maintaining the software or else you aren't going to get much benefit out of it. This is just something you have to institute to really get the benefits out of the software. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best, most familiar Q&A setup, specific for your needs" November 7, 2018 5.0 Pros By coming from the great basis of Stack Overflow, it's familiar to use and has a great interface for writing content. People can instantly start writing content, whether that be self-answered Q&A ‘knowledge base’-style, or asking for the expertise of someone else. The core Q&A experience is perfectly executed. Cons There is virtually zero customisability for the individual team, no way to add custom functionality, custom sidebar content or even styling. It can't be adapted to fit with existing internal sites — it remains distant and associated too heavily with the main public Stack Overflow. Markdown support is lacking tables and other GitHub-flavoured adaptions. Review Source Response from Stack Overflow December 10, 2018 Thanks for your feedback! Our team is working on more customizable features in the near future - stay tuned! Michael L. Software Development Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Adequate for internal documentation of sorts..." December 5, 2018 4.0 Pros It has the familiar SO interface that I am used to. Cons Difficult to author longer documentation when required. Review Source Response from Stack Overflow December 10, 2018 Thanks for your feedback Michael! Authoring longer documentation is definitely still possible with Stack Overflow for Teams - it just has to be translated into the Q&A format. mF mathieu F. Lead architect Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The same Stack Overflow we love" March 22, 2019 5.0 Pros Its really a private instance of stack overflow, with points and badges Cons Not that easy to determine what shoould go in there and what should not. You dont want to end up with people asking question and answering their own question. You want things which provoke discussions. Review Source Response from Stack Overflow April 17, 2019 Hi, Mathieu! Thanks for taking time to review Stack Overflow for Teams. Feel free to email our user research team at bdevine@stackoverflow.com and share your thoughts on ways to set expectation with your team on how to use the private instance. AS Akash S. Software Development Engineer Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Give it a go!" December 5, 2018 5.0 It has been really positive! Pros The ease of use, and the UI is very user friendly. It helps reduce the development time by bypassing the common pits nearly every developer will encounter. Cons Nothing as such, they can add more functionality and integrate it with more third party softwares. Review Source CS Charles S. Control Engineer Industrial Automation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Almost Perfect" November 7, 2018 4.0 I can kind of get with the idea that we're not supposed to post resources to Stack Overflow, but then I kind of also wish that there were some kind of a "curated" Stack Overflow, where it would be possible for "knowledgeable persons" (by reputation I'm sure) to accumulate "classic" questions and answers in a set of community references, especially such that you could see and easily browse related questions. I'm realizing now that this doesn't exactly address the "overall experience" I've had with SO, but I guess my point is that it can be kind of a pain to find quality related questions when I'm trying to find answers. Google results seem to be the way to go (because tags are generally far too superficial to be of much use), but then Google seems to optimize based on "famous" questions and really new questions, and I find the Google results keep regurgitating the same half-dozen or so questions (some results link the question, some results link the best answer, some results link the accepted answer, etc.). I've got more to say about this, but I feel like I'm digressing, so I'll just leave this comment as-is. Pros First, let me be clear that it's not clear to me if this is about Stack Overflow or about Stack Overflow for Teams, the latter of which is what brought me to this survey. The survey here in particular says to write a review for "Stack Overflow" (not for Teams), so I'll say this: Somewhere on Stack Overflow is nearly every part of every program I've ever written. It's an absolutely indispensable resource for every programmer. Cons I'm a Stack Overflow user and a Stack Exchange moderator. The most frustrating aspect of the site(s) is that the original asker is the only one that gets to pick the correct answer. OP's choice of answers gets pushed to the top regardless of community votes, and the question will be continuously bumped to the front page if the OP never picks an answer. I wish there were something like a "community accepted" answer, or a "de facto best answer" in the events where a question has been open for X days and has an answer with a score of Y but no accepted answers, or in the event where the top scored answer exceeds the score of the accepted answer by some magic ratio. Review Source Response from Stack Overflow December 11, 2018 Thanks for sharing your feedback about Teams, Charles!
