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.

Very clean interface however editing can be a challenge which is a big part of using it so I can't give a 10 until the editing and customization for editing is improved. I love how minimal the look and feel is though and how easy it is to organize different pages and folders.

I used to love Confluence and still use Google Workspace, but since working with Slite, I feel like it's better for managing large amounts of documents across many teams. Google Docs is super helpful, but can get hard to find things, though I do like their doc editing a lot. Confluence is great, but can be a bit complicated sometimes.

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. You don't need to bother about folders, filenames, templates - just ask a question and answer it or get it answered. It feels less formal, so developers feel more free to add content.
