### "Yammer for Competition"

August 12, 2019

5.0

Pros

I like the feed aspect of Yammer and how different groups can be created. Our company uses it to create competition between departments. We are able to showcase best in practice displays and total sales growth.

Cons

I wish the notifications were a bit easier to cycle through.

### "User Experience"

October 28, 2019

5.0

Overall experience would still stand great and well appreciated.

Pros

Yet another amazing application to demonstrate and communicate achievements and celebrations at various locations of organisation. Not just this, you can communicate / reach out freely to any member of your organisation just like a social networking site, making colleague communication more casual than formal. Love the concept

Cons

The fear of being monitored and reviewed based on your posts and comments on this platform would still keep a lot of members at a distance to use it effectively.

### "Useful but not my favorite"

January 10, 2023

3.0

It's not a bad software and worked for what we needed it to do at my old job. However, I do prefer other tools now.

Pros

It's nice that Microsoft offers a product that can help with collaboration efforts. If you're familiar with Microsoft products, it makes it easier to pick up other Microsoft products like Yammer. We used this at my previous work for collaboration efforts on recruiting.

Cons

While it's not a bad software, it's not my favorite when it comes to collaborating with others. It's user interface just isn't as good as other collaboration software I've used.

### "Useful tool for internal collaboration"

April 28, 2021

Pros

Yammer is a great tool for collaborating with coworkers and bringing a virtual community closer together. We use it to share experiences and seek advice from others within the company. Email updates make sure you're not missing out on any conversations.

Cons

I have no complaints regarding Yammer, great tool!

### "Extremely useful tool"

June 30, 2019

5.0

I use this everyday at the company I work for. It is the first thing I go to in the morning. I can quickly find new information, posts and updates that are pertinent to my work.

Pros

Uses columns to organize your individual feeds. allows users to quickly find new posts gives live updates Suggests other people to follow

Cons

Kind of a boring look to the interface. Needs a live chat feature. Needs an option that allows users to customize their interface

### "Ok but not as streamlined as other messaging platforms"

October 22, 2019

4.0

Good way to collaborate on message boards with different departments on campus, but not useful for much more than general posting.

Pros

Pretty easy to use and good basic functionality with posting and creating groups. Unfortunately it just did not catch on at my school so was not widely used.

Cons

Would be better if there was a private chat functions, or private group chat functions. Not as visually appealing as some newer messaging services.

### "Yammer was instrumental in helping our staff stay connected"

July 5, 2018

4.0

It was a great alternative to email, keeping messaging and information inside one place.

Pros

Yammer offered just the right features which helped our staff of twelve to communicate about ongoing projects, questions, or issues. It was easy to separate team members using groups.

Cons

Didn't offer the option of integrating with other tools we were already using. Eventually switched to Basecamp.

### "Software interresante "

July 15, 2023

4.0

Interação com pessoas é muito boa

Pros

A possibilidade de ter uma rede social da "empresa", onde se é possivel fazer postagens a respeito do ambiente de trabalho, projetos e conquistas. é como se fosse uma intranet em que todos podem fazer postagens, interessante para aumentar o engajamento dos colaboradores. A plataforma é bem intuitiva e tem integração com os outros serviços microsoft.

Cons

Por enquanto não há pontos negativos, todos os serviços oferecidos pela plataforma são entregues de forma satisfatória.

### "Yammer"

October 6, 2020

3.0

Overall experience was satisfactory. I think Yammer could become a more robust collaboration tool than it is now if it had more features.

Pros

We used this software to collaborate at work interdepartmentally. I found that there were many interesting conversations and I was able to interact with or hear thoughts of those I otherwise would not have had a chance to talk to in my daily work life.

Cons

There wasn’t much room for collaboration outside of the conversation threads. It was a good space to have conversations and share ideas but at least within the particular software there was no way to expand or take the conversations further into actionable items.

### "A great social media platform for work"

May 3, 2022

5.0

Yammer is the perfect app for communication, it has helped me to create a virtual concept of communication. I use it mostly everyday and is one of the safest apps to use at work because most of them are blocked.

Pros

It is easy to use and I can communicate with my colleagues 24/7, overall it helps you collaborate with your friends or coworkers safely.

Cons

What I like least is the design, in my opinion is not so attractive to users and if its changed it could help attract new users.

### "Work Facebook"

December 7, 2019

3.0

Loved it but had to be replaced. Not safe to risk staff communicating HIPPA protected information.

Pros

Yammer is very easy to use and a great tool when one needs immediate communication with a coworker. I particularly like the group functions.

Cons

The communication is not secure enough if you need to communicate HIPPA protected information so it cannot meet all the instant communication in the medical field.

April 30, 2021

Definitely had a lot of tools, easy to push out communications quickly and seamlessly.

Pros

Used this in a big corporation nationally and is a great means to communicate with multiple departments and ensure everyone has the same information.

Cons

I don't think we've ever experienced any cons using this software, I don't see any concerns here at all.

### "Understanding Yammer"

December 23, 2023

4.0

Solid experience but underutilized. Didn't take off in our organization

Pros

It was part of MS Suite package or so it was affordable.

Cons

No one in the organization didn't use it they just shared content in MS Teams. Also I think my colleagues didn't like the name "Yammer" it reminds me of Yams...

Switched from

[Microsoft Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/168668/Microsoft-Teams/)

Because everyone was communicating through this channel

### "Microsoft missed the bus on Yammer"

September 28, 2019

3.0

Pros

Yammer imported our user data from Office 365 so it reduced the setup time for each new user

Cons

Yammer feels like a corporate wannabe of Facebook, and it's really unintuitive as it uses Sharepoint which is just confusing.

### "Good Internal Social Networking Platform"

April 12, 2020

4.0

Pros

To me, Yammer performs in two areas quite well: In increasing communication across an organization, and providing a more user-friendly front-end for documentation. Given the current COVID-19 situation, feeling connected to colleagues is more important than ever, and harnessing Yammer's ability to post questions, stories, etc., can help in that regard. On the documentation front, there are many competing apps, but Yammer is the closest to resembling a "site" I've used in a while.

Cons

With Microsoft now the owners of Yammer, they need to decide what the platform is, and what it isn't. Confusion can reign when MS begins introducing features to Yammer that can be found in their various other offerings, such as Teams, SharePoint, etc, to the point where indecision on how to communicate or host content can lead to inefficiency.
