The response here is over the top. SO have been building Teams for some three years now. I know because I signed my company up for the beta, but we weren’t in a position to try it when it became available. The value prop should be obvious. It would archive and surface institutional knowledge.
Many companies are currently using Slack for this, but then your search terms have to be precise to reveal what you’re looking for. And if you’re on the free plan, your data will eventually get deleted.
Obviously this doesn’t affect the free product.
- shagie 7y agoHow does that value proposition for an organization of 100 compare to Confluence? Comparing it to slack, I believe, is a apples to oranges. Slack isn't a knowledge management system and was never meant to be.
- eaurouge 7y agoI haven’t used Confluence but I imagine one advantage SO Teams would have is familiarity. Many developers/engineers already know about its benefits and how it works. Yes, apples and oranges with Slack. But if you’ve ever found yourself searching Slack for some piece of knowledge from a colleague then you’ve used it for that off label use case.
- Nextgrid 7y agoAll else being equal, I’d take Stack Overflow over Confluence for 2 reasons: speed and Markdown support.
