Overall Satisfaction with Stack Overflow for Teams

We use Stack Overflow for Teams as a primary tool for knowledge management. As any company out there, we have devs more experienced devs and people who are just starting (in terms of our business know-how and in general coding too). So it is important to have a place in which newer devs can search and ask questions and also have this content preserved and searchable.
  • Great search tool.
  • Allow users to direct questions to specific people who they think can help.
  • Most devs are familiar with the site, so it has a small learning curve.
  • 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.
  • Great search tool.
  • Already familiar for most devs, which makes the learning curve small.
  • Easy setup and easy adoption.
  • It makes the search for answers more efficient, so devs can focus in more important things.
  • Knowledge is not lost, even if people leave the company.
  • Notion
Unfortunately, the notion search tool leaves a lot to be desired, the Stack Overflow search is definitely better and more efficient.

It is great for scenarios in which you want to retrieve knowledge in a QA fashion. Not so good for registering knowledge in a more lengthy way, like posts.
