Experts ExchangeReviews of experts-exchange.com

Really great way to get feedback from experts on IT projects. Not just a quick answer but helpful methodologies and approaches.

I joined Experts Exchange in 2009 and have been an active participant ever since then. Experts Exchange continues to grow and change with its mission. Experts Exchange houses a wealth of information. I have never not been able to find an answer to any technical question I have posed. As a frequent contributor, I have found that I have been forced to think more in depth about every topic I encounter. Reading the content on Experts Exchange as well as answering questions is a continual learning experience.

I joined Experts Exchange (EE) in 2010 and found that, like every company starting out, things were lacking. However, each year they slowly pulled talent into their ranks, and let those professionals turn a clunky interface into a clean, modern, and beautiful one. As an Apple professional, I appreciate simplistic modern design because it makes for joining groups, navigating the site and talking to other tech people that much easier. In addition, EE has added so much information (videos, articles, online classes, gigs, website tools, website bug testing, headlines, quick posts) to their site, that I find myself spending hours soaking up as much info as I can. All in all, it's worth the price to collaborate with some of the best minds in tech, and receive answers to those complex and challenging questions that you just can't solve by yourself. Lastly, if you're just a fun-loving tech person like me, you'll enjoy the friendly atmosphere and awards (certs, badges, t-shirts) that you get for helping others learn (you can write articles or make classes). It's also cool that EE gives you a profile page that keeps track of all the helpful stuff you do (answer questions, write articles, etc...), which can be extremely convenient when you need to show your track record to future employers.

EE is my favorite knowledge repository on the web for both breadth and depth of expertise for anything related to the digital realm. Plus, it's nice to see the company keeping up with the pace of the digital era by encouraging networking, enabling real-time support, and constantly optimizing the functionality of the site. I'm not saying it's perfect, but they try and it shows. That's the most we can ask of ourselves too, right? ;) I've had questions covering IT networking, Excel, R, Google Analytics, statistics, math, Word, AppleScripts, html, javascript, etc. and there's always someone to offer a helping piece of advice or a whole answer. At times, I've even had multiple answers provided, and respondents tend to do a good job at helping teach you along the way if you want it. The on-demand feature of EE is really nice if you're in a jam and need a quick answer; it's something I find incredibly valuable for my small business needs too. You're going to get trolls sometimes, as with anything in life, but the Mods and Admins do a nice job at handling them or privately discussing the matters with you to resolve it politely. Do your best to ignore and flag them. And even if you don't participate as a question-asker or answer-giver, it's just a wonderful knowledge base that's easy and fun to use.

It's full of people who have more skills than I do and answer questions when I post them. I don't know where else I could turn for the same quality of responses. Sometimes Google just doesn't cut it for more technical questions, that's when this site is most useful.

I really love Experts-Exchange: I'm member from 2010 and I find this membership a tremendously effective way not only to share my knowledge but even and overall to increase it and improve my programming skills. And when I asked a question, I always found helpful people which gave me their suggestion even when the actual problem was solved and the thread closed. Because of this, Experts-Exchange is not only the best place to find solutions but a good place to find friends too, and to discuss technlogy related arguments with true skilled professionals.

I love this site! I have been a long time member and it has saved me so many times.I use the site constantly for work issues as well as ones in my personal projects. There are always plenty of people to help you out. You can get a variety of answers and ways to solve an issue. Everyone knows there is usually more than one way to solve something. Here you will get all the answers, not just the vendor specific ones you get on help forums. I highly recommend this site to anyone whether or not you are tech-savvy!

Like most developers, I have enlisted the help from a variety of IT forums. A few are helpful, and most take days of multiple turnarounds. Often there is no reply if the issue is at all more complex. I have found with my three requests within my first month of using Expert Exchange, that the assistance was mostly quick and the experts persistent in trying to understand the issues. Two out of the three were excellent at assessing my technical competence level, while one was highly technical and did not appreciate my less-than-them level of expertise. The credentials of this expert were very limited, whereas the credentials of the other three experts solving two issues were extensive. Their help moved my high security web dev forward significantly, for which I am grateful. Thanks guys :)
