The search is also a big plus for us, since it's easy to find specific questions. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** Sometimes you don't want to ask a question, you just want to save a description or a process and the SO UI makes that a little awkward. It assumes everything is a question. Not really an issue, just a little odd in some cases. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's a familiar UI and that increases our developers' willingness to use it. That makes it more likely they will add to the knowledge base. The effective search means they find answers to questions sooner with less frustration with many other platforms we've tried. ### 6. I didn't know about Stack Overflow for Teams before, now I love it **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** João C. | Lead Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** Stack Overflow for Teams is a game-changer for companies. It offers the same exceptional features as Stack Overflow but in a private version exclusively for internal use. It enables efficient collaboration, secure knowledge sharing, and swift problem-solving within a single company. It has allowed us to build a searchable and easy-to-browse knowledge base. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** One downside is that the user count is typically lower than the public Stack Overflow community. This results in more unanswered questions within your company's private instance. It's also less peer-reviewed, so the content may not be as high quality. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** The persistent knowledge base in Stack Overflow for Teams ensures that valuable insights are archived and accessible for future reference. The private community can provide access to a larger pool of domain experts. Additionally, the search functionality makes it easier to find existing answers. We were doing it over Slack before, but that gets easily lost and is hard to trace back. ### 7. Answers at your finger tips **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jen F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 19, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** Stack Overflow is quick and easy to navigate, when you first open Stack Overflow - the site is very well layed out, easy to navigate and the pop-ups are very handy when you are first starting out. The Tags come in really handy when searching for questions or answers. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** I find the emails from Stack Overflow to be a bit much, everday i would recieve at least 2-3 as a reminder to log on and help answer questions, in my role they tagged me as a "Super User". One email a day would be enough. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** In our industry, we post and answer questions pertaining to design. When i have a question about design or practices, i can quickly go into Stack and look for answers rather than bother my co-workers and ask them repeated questions. This reduces time taken from their work day and i can quickly move on with my work! ### 8.

It helps experienced members of our team avoid answering the same questions over and over, while enabling people who need the answers to find them. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** * The interface for managing tags is a little clunky - I'd love to see just a list or table of tags+metadata rather than the card interface which can be difficult to scan and doesn't use the screen real estate very efficiently. * The interface for finding unanswered questions in particular categories was a little unintuitive to find. I found it, but struggled more than I would have expected. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have several knowledge repositories and it can be hard to search all of them. That results in questions with documented answers frequently being asked in general channels. Stack Overflow for Teams is acting as a one-time question/answer spot to avoid repeated questions and allow those who know where the documentation is to provide links upon request. ### 9.

Great Knowledge Repository for Group **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Gambling & Casinos | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** Searching for answers to existing issues is super easy and adding new questions to be answered is also really easy. This is much, much better than having some network folder of documentation. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** There is an onboarding process for your group but it still takes everyone getting onboard with the idea of using the application. This may be difficult for people to get used to using a website as a knowledge center. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** Support issues that come up a lot are easy to remember but those issues that don't come up much can be hard to recall just how to remedy them.

Great tool to share knowledge but usefulness is largely dependent on engagement **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vladimir R. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** Familiar, decades-proven UI: voting, comments, tags, @mentions, reputation system. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** Nothing on the product side, but success of SOfT in a company is rather organizationally challenging: the product needs a lot of engagement from the most knowledgeable people in the company (usually senior staff and leads) in order to bring value. If critical mass is not gained, questions remain with no answer or poor answers, and the tool loses credibility from users (askers). Plus, proper positioning in the company is required so that SOfT is not shadowed by other company tools such as messengers. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** SOfT is helping to get answers and gain knowledge about company-specific technologies. I benefit by getting the information I need when 1) I don't know whom to ask or 2) when I think the answer may be helpful for a broad audience. ### 15.

It's Stack Overflow, but for your day to day problems **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marcus B. | Product Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 17, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** It is familiar. It works exactly like Stack Overflow, but it can be specialized to niche problems that only your teammates would understand **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** The searching could be better, sometimes the recommended results don't appear in the actual results after you press Enter **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** A lot of our knowledge is still very tribal, so to find an answer you need to ask someone. StackOverflow Teams allows you to ask that question, but in a way that the next person who has that question can immediately know the answer ### 31. Experience with Stack Overflow Teams has been fairly good **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** I like using Stack Overflow. Interface is good, seach is good and everything. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** Sometimes it's not completely adopted. Meaning that if many people within organization don't use it, then you won't get much answers. For most of the answers I have to go searching in Slack because the question is not answered in Stack Overflow. If it's somehow possible to get more people active in Stack Overflow Teams, the network effect would be very beneficial. I don't know if it already exists. But maybe some sort of notification system when someone asks a question that notifies the respective channel in Slack (since it's most popularly used) so that people will go to Stack Overflow and answer the question.s **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** For me, the two apps that I use to get answers are Slack and Stack Overflow. One thing I like in Stack Overflow over Slack is that in Slack you once the question is asked after a certain timeframe it's lost due to newer discussions in the channel. However, in Stack Overflow, it's a better in the sense that a question is in a way always there. There is no concept of new questions shadowing older questions. ### 32.

A great internal collaboration tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tom K. | Technical Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 15, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** Being able to ask questions with internal specifics, or to receive answers that are relative to internal procedures is invaluable and is a great way for our more experienced to share, but most importantly DOCUMENT their knowledge for all those who need it in the future **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** At this moment in time, we do not have any specific dislikes, but it would be nice if we could get an RSS/API feed of questions posted so we can set up custom notifications to our discord or other communication tools **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** Existing answers to repeat questions are now available to all.

Any improvements I would have suggested here, I've found a way to make happen. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** Efficiency, Organization, Faster Response Times in Customer Service- Overall, we are functioning at our best yet with this addition to workflow. It's the small changes that add up daily for any company and Stack is one of them for us! ### 36. Sharing knowledge **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 17, 2024 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** What I like most is that in a team non-ephemeral knowledge is shared almost automatically. Everyone asks questions, so by documenting these, everyone has access to this knowledge. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** Honestly, I haven't found any downsides. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating a knowledge base without putting too much effort into it. ### 37. Useful when you know what you're looking for :) **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2024 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** My colleagues have the same questions, concerns, hurdles, etc. as me. That's so cool. I am not alone. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** It isn't integrated into any other process. You have to intentionally decide to access Stack Overflow. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** Internal operations type of Q&A (with technology, hours billing, etc.) ### 38. StackOverflow Teams -- Best in class for internal support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike C. | Principal Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** It's a given that the traditional StackOverflow is best in class. Teams brings that same experience inside your firewall where you can grow a knowledge base that fits seamlessly with your developer's existing experience. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** The downside is this implementation requires the right internal culture -- developers willing to invest in the tool to help others and ensure that those seeking help always receive prompt answers. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** Distributing internal expertise across team boundries and providing assistance across the organization. Compared with using Confluence or similar wiki platform, this enables more direct question/answer engagements as well as tayloring information to specific problems. ### 39. A must have for a growing start up **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** We are growing so fast in our company that information gets easily lost or disorganized. With SO we have found a tool where we can collect all questions and answers. I have saved around 70% of my time answering questions from team members by using SO. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** It would be great to trigger notifications for certain hashtags to certain teams on Teams. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have so many new team members and so much knowledge that we needed a space where all questions could be answered and saved. ### 40. Perfect for teams that struggle to maintain volatile technical and operational documentation **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 12, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** Our team was relatively strong on documentation and maintained the repo markdown documentation, well written PR's and in-code advisories. However we struggled to maintain "active technical/operational" documentation - the finer points of how to run various systems, how to's and Q&A's on various systems and other kind of time-saving documentation that changes frequently. Stack Overflow teams give us a nifty way to see the latest changes on volatile technical or operational information - and recommend changes to each other on the fly. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** I wouldn't say I dislike any aspect of Stack Overflow for Teams - I would say that it is important to use the right tool for the right problem. For more static documentation, like how to run a given code base, dependencies, or basic QA criteria to check it is more helpful to use Stack Overflow for Teams as a *complimentary* tool to good markdown, Github PR templates and other documents. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps us to maintain documentation for items that change frequently - technical how-to's, the latest "gotcha's" and information that we need to share with the wider company on a frequent basis. ### 41. Stackov **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** Stack Overflow for teams has been our one stop solution to resolving bugs. One of the things I love about it, it how it helps me and my team members get unblocked quickly. The best thing about stackoverflow is the ability to tag questions and answers with specific topics making it easier to organize and find information. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** The only thing I dont like about stack overflow teams is a lot of times specific problems are raised as issues in the open source github repositories where the creators have answered how to resolve it but stackoverflow does not include those issues and answers. An explicit google search is required. I would love to see this feature get added in the near future. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** While writing code debugging errors becomes simiplier due to stack overflow due to its huge knowledge base. Chances are someone else faced the same issue and asked on stackoverflow teams. So just searching stackoverflow for teams can save a lot of time that would have gone into debugging. This helps me as a developer to ship products faster. ### 42. Works like a charm, so far **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gerard v. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** Easily share questions with the entire product development team without bombarding a single colleague with questions. Also tags are really useful in making sure only relevant messages go to the right teams. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** Search function is not as helpful as I was expecting, also integrations are limited which made me rely on Zapier to push messages to Google chats. In addition I would really like to be able to filter where notifications go based on tags. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** My main focus was to not have to rely on 1-on-1 communication between members to ask questions, putting messages in the all developers chat can be quite hard for newcomers. Through the similar questions functionality I hope the threshold for posting questions is lower as they can be more assured they are not repeating an already asked question. In addition all the answers are kept in stackoverflow so information is a lot easier to find in the future. ### 43. Stack Overflow for Teams has been a blessing **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** It's an intuitive way to save our collective knowledge. We are all used to looking stuff up on Stack Overflow and the ability to see if someone asked that before without wading through 5+ outdated Confluence documentations is just great. I'm happy my company signed up for this because every time I left a detailed answer on a Jira ticket or Confluence article I felt it would promptly get lost forever. Now people actually read my answers. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** Mail spam could be better, I don't need to know about everything going on by default. Organization into sub categories could be better, as it stands I'm not really sure if we can have separate "component" spaces though it might not be totally necessary with correct tagging. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sometimes a pertinent bug pops up and you just know it's not the first time this happened. When it's something people deal with and you can just throw it up on there without worrying about who to ask about this or if anyone will see your article it's nice. I've had a few questions answered rather quickly and am pretty happy. ### 44. Great platform for reduction of frequent software questions **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matt P. | Customer Success Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 12, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** I like the search function the best. The query parameter makes it super easy to search for either a vague topic or something super specific. I prefer this service compared to another similar platform I've used, Tettra. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** It can be a little tricky to make sure you're searching for Team Specific Q&A vs the community wide Q&A. That said, I think both are pretty important to have access to but just make sure you're searching in the right section. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** Customer team asks the same questions over and over again. By posting common questions in Stack Overflow our team can cut down on internal comms and save time. Super helpful. ### 45. Makes using a wiki feel like 1982 **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jared Y. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 10, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** I really like how easy it is to find information that is highly specific to our team. The ability to search on tags, keywords, and subject matter makes finding the right answer to a question or common scenario in our environments very easy. We can have different answers for different environments, edit those answers as the technical needs change, and keep answers current. And I like that it is a format and user experience that all of our developers are used to. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** There was a big change to SO for Teams a while back that caused my user to break. I had to create a new user, losing the connection to questions and answers that were in our Teams instance. It's trivial, but annoying. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** It makes finding answers so much easier. Documentation on wiki's (i.e. Confluence) is much harder to search and find exactly what you are looking for. Our team can now document common tasks and problems with the correct solutions and everyone can find that information quickly. ### 46. A Game Changer for My Organization **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nathan S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** Stack Overflow for Teams allows my organization to finally leverage the many benefits of Stack Overflow for our internal use cases. We have a variety of platforms that are used across the organization for storing information. The search capabilities for these platforms vary drastically. Stack Overflow for Teams provides a single location where users can search and ask questions instead of executing keyword searches across multiple platforms. In addition to the core features and benefits, Stack Overflow for Teams provides suggestions for improving our content, from writing better questions to effective tag management. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** The integration with Microsoft Teams is a little lackluster. In general, it would be great to see more/improved opportunities for connecting Stack Overflow for Teams with other platforms to assist with directing users back to Stack Overflow for Teams for questions and answers. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** Stack Overflow for Teams provides my organization with a central location to find and share information. Having a single place to find answers has been very impactful in tearing down the information silos throughout the org. ### 47. Still learning it's usefulness **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Paper & Forest Products | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** All our user manuals ie questions are in one place and can be updated easily **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** Loggin in is always a challenge for me. I have to keep a tab open on my browser because I can never remember how to get back to the login page **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** One stop shop for answers to newcomers questions. When experts leave, they spend their last two weeks writing everything they think the rest of the team will need in stack overflow ### 48. A very simple, flexible way to manage information and knowledge in an organisation **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sharon L. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** Allows for collaboration, endless possibilities, the Q&A features and Collections **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** I haven't come across any yet. It needs to be well-managed internally but is incredibly useful. **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows us to share knowledge across the organisation and plug any gaps. It promotes shared learning and collaboration utilising internal subject matter experts. ### 49. Good experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** I like the content sharing it allow. It's another approach unlike trello or wiki. It's a more collaborative method in my view. I like the support around it too. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** What I disliked in the product start was the need to be on StackOverflow to be able to see SO for Team, but this year it was changed luckilly to a stand alone portal. It feel more standalone and it bring a balance if you want a personnal account on SO vs a corporate account on SO for Team **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** It solve the issue of having Q/A that finish as knowledge base. ### 50. Best know-how library ever - "as we all know" **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Stack Overflow Internal?** It is possible to share your knowledge rapidly. and you don't need to feel hesitated when you need to ask the same thing for the third time. **What do you dislike about Stack Overflow Internal?** UI is not so friendly and for enterprise version it is a bit confusing to login to your own teams stack wall. And could be great if a question has an ID in it **What problems is Stack Overflow Internal solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a young and agile organisation but it comes with a big turn-over . when a colleague leave the company and new people gets on board it is more likely to keep on agile path. ## Stack Overflow Internal Discussions - [What is Stack Overflow for Teams used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-stack-overflow-for-teams-used-for) - 2 comments, 2 upvotes - [Is there some recommendations on how to encourage people to use it?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-there-some-recommendations-on-how-to-encourage-people-to-use-it) - 2 comments, 2 upvotes - [Do you offer special pricing to nonprofit organizations and educational institutions?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/stack-overflow-for-teams-usage-3d92fd3e-08ec-4808-bc84-75f605e7673d) - 1 comment, 2 upvotes - [Is stack overflow free to use?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-stack-overflow-free-to-use) - 4 comments, 1 upvote - [What kind of API is available?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/stack-overflow-for-teams-usage-9199d060-d7f6-4d03-9c92-0f3a33921e7e) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [View Stack Overflow Internal pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/stack-overflow-internal/reviews?page=4§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-30+17%3A43%3A49+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=f4d9ac29-5632-456f-9fda-23409fcbd5d3&secure%5Btoken%5D=2cb9e0ae478edfe48267b78a80a58661628a1380c67d011f751d53b781f72b5c&format=llm_user) ## Stack Overflow Internal Integrations - [Artologik HelpDesk](https://www.g2.com/products/artologik-helpdesk/reviews) - [GitHub](https://www.g2.com/products/github/reviews) - [GitHub Copilot](https://www.g2.com/products/github-copilot/reviews) - [Jira](https://www.g2.com/products/jira/reviews) - [Microsoft Graph](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-graph/reviews) - [Microsoft Teams](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-teams/reviews) - [Moveworks](https://www.g2.com/products/moveworks/reviews) - [Okta](https://www.g2.com/products/okta/reviews) - [Slack](https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews) ## Stack Overflow Internal Features **Account Options** - Single Sign-On (SSO) - Reputation System - Topic Subscription - Bookmarking - History **Knowledge Pages** - In-Content Feedback - Versioning and Version History - Duplicate Detection - Content Editor **Knowledge Base** - Q & A - Link Sharing - Searchable **Q&A Tools** - Tags - Commenting System - Notifications - Voting - Integrations - Knowledge Integrations - Formatting - Analytics **Knowledge Dissemination** - Page Analytics - Permissions - Knowledge Sharing - Notifications - Advanced Search - Organization - Other Integrations - Knowledge Integrations **Security** - Verification - Role-Based Permission - Public vs Private **Agentic AI - Knowledge Base** - Adaptive Learning **Content** - Trackable Analytics - Import - File Viewing - Update Notifications **Communication** - Social Features - Tagging - Comments ## Top Stack Overflow Internal Alternatives - [Bloomfire](https://www.g2.com/products/bloomfire/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (500 reviews) - [Slack](https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (37,346 reviews) - [Notion](https://www.g2.com/products/notion/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (10,901 reviews)
