User Testimonials
	Stack Overflow for Teams	Zoho Desk
Likelihood to Recommend	In my opinion, Stack Overflow for Teams is well suited for an organization that is on a hiring spree for the engineering teams. The reason for it is because instead of catering to doubts of new joinees individually, they can be asked to refer to the Stack Overflow and hence will save a lot of time for both new joiners as well as the existing employees. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Zoho Desk is a great customer service tool. It is very easy to track the ability to receive tickets and send responses in Zoho Desk. There are lots of options for customization. The knowledge base feature is very extensive and powerful. It makes creating internal and external FAQs easy.

Incentivized Sofia Martinez Accounting Consultant Read full review
Cons	I don't like it when I'm searching in the company's private account and the search automatically goes to the public SO search, I would prefer to be asked if I want to search in the public SO. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	When utilizing as a ticketing system, it would be nice to have a better way to monitor when something is due. It's just a little cumbersome. Search Functionality - The search functionality could use a tweak or two. Too many times I am unable to find tickets. This would also be very helpful for the "Recycle Bin" when you just need to find that ticket you accidentally deleted (we are all human!). :) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	It's easier to use Stack Overflow for Teams Q&A to maintain our knowledge base over time, over the Confluence wikis that we also maintain.

Return on Investment	Positive impact by saving us time to solve our needs. Negative impact by allowing for overly competitive people to game the system. Soliciting upvote from you coworkers simply for points. Incentivized Brandon Camerer Senior User Experience Designer Read full review	By running reports based on ticket, we can see how much time is spent on each customer and can manage these customers better based on what we see are there issues We can also run reports based on the types of queries customers are coming in with which allows us to develop our product based on actual customers needs as a whole.
