### "Great internal social tool for communicating informally with the business. "

June 28, 2018

4.0

Pros

Simple to use and easy set up. Similar feel in ways to Facebook, but love the closed environment and informal nature so communication isn't so stuffy (corporatey).

Cons

Is rather basic and limited in some functionality. Because it is a stand alone site, it is one more tool to remember/check/waste time on. Can add value to communication within the org.

### "Yammer - What is it good for?"

June 4, 2021

5.0

When I did use it, it was ok. I did notice that the organisation (myself included) was very slow to adapt and fully embrace this solution. Probably due to the reasons listed in the Cons section. Now that Microsoft has MS Teams, Yammer may end up getting deprecated or rolled into MS Teams.

Pros

I liked the look and feel of this product. Looks simple, pleasant. Very easy to use. Integrates with the MS Office products (obviously). Certainly no complaints here regarding the design and execution from Microsoft.

Cons

The Collaboration Tool market is pretty crowded so there are a lot of others to compare to. When using it through 2012-2015, I noticed that while Yammer was a solid tool it was missing some of the nice to haves like Facebook like reactions to posts, gif library, personalisation options etc.

### "Why would someone use this?"

June 3, 2021

1.0

Why does HR insist on this instead of asking workers what they need/want. Internal Social Network cannot be an answer

Pros

Nothing at all, the whole concept of social media for an enterprise doesn’t make sense to me… I don’t want to share things with people from my enterprise and the content to consume is mostly by HR and duplicates info sent by email or slack

Cons

The product is bad from its conception, there is no reason for someone to use it. Only that it comes included in a bigger package

### "Social network for companies"

December 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

We use Yammer as a part of our Office 365 subscription and it is a valuable social tool. Instead of emails, chat and other means it offers a centralized solution to enhance the social component of our company. Easy to use everyone who uses the internet knows how to work with Yammer.

Cons

The sorting of subjects and subfolders can get confusing

### "Gutes Tool für übergreifende Unternehmenskommunikation"

November 15, 2023

5.0

Verschiedene Gruppen, einfache Bedienung und viele Möglichkeiten Informationen (formelle wie informelle) in Umlauf zu bekommen. Das Tool wird von vielen Kollegen rege genutzt. Neben privaten Gruppen findet auch viel fachlicher Austausch statt, was super ist.

Pros

Leicht verständliches Tool, dass alles Funktionen eines Kommunikationstools abdeckt, die man im Unternehmen benötigt.

Cons

Jedes "freie" Kommunikationstool birgt wohl die Gefahr, dass öffentlich "gejammert" wird und sich eine gewisse Eigendynamik entwickelt.

### "Decent work place social media"

March 27, 2021

4.0

Overall, Yammer is a decent social media for the workplace and gets the job done. With the ability to share files and give organizational-wide PSAs, it really has a lot of practical functionality even if the UI could use some updating.

Pros

Yammer is good for organizational-wide social-media like announcements. Sometimes things aren't important enough for department/organizational-wide emails but are helpful enough for those who are interested enough to see it. Yammer is the perfect place to broadcast without spamming inboxes.

Cons

The UI looks really stale and really could use some modernization. It looks kind of depressing and old when you're on site.

### "Social Networking at Office"

February 20, 2019

4.0

Helps to collaborate and share messages faster.

Pros

Platform to share knowledge and create groups for collaborating. Features to bookmark conversations, follow posts are really helpful. Helps to ask for help across the globe within the organization.

Cons

Navigating is not so user friendly. People need to use it pro actively to make it effective.

### "Platform that encourages you to communicate and collaborate ( business Social Network )"

November 15, 2018

5.0

We use Yammer to broadcast team updates, news, and content. It's easy to set up and use.

Pros

Easy to use and Intuitive and you can chat with the team members. We used to share the relevant content to our team. Constant updates are making this tool better and better with time.

Cons

Cannot use outside of O 365. Frequent notifications is bit annoying.

### "Used to ask questionso f product managers & tell HQ about what we are seeing in the field"

April 30, 2018

4.0

Getting questions answered for my customers.

Pros

Use this mainly for getting customer's questions answered. If customer asks question where I don't have information readily available, I can type it into the correct yammer group category and the product manager will answer it quickly. Much faster than emailing.

Cons

If organization doesn't make groups correctly, it could be hard to know where to post or make sure the right audience is seeing the conversation. The yammer inbox is also a bit redundant. I don't love that posts are listed by algorithm rather than by chronology and there is no way to change the settings to make it do that either.

### "Yammer como solución para la comunicación Organizacional"

September 28, 2022

5.0

Pros

Lo que nos permitió implmentar Yammer como fuente de comunicación Organizacional fue la facilidad de integración ya que contabamos con la infraestructura de DA y Azure.

Cons

Al principio de etapa inicial se tuvieron problemas para poder realizar la implementación de igual forma no se contaba con los clientes de acceso a yammer, actualmente ya fue solucionado.

### "Social private network for Business"

August 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

Social private network for Business - sounds like a great idea. And it is, indeed! Having to work with a distributed team, its great to have a facebook-like hub, with a wide variety of features, where everyone stays connected and private (protected) at the same time. It is extremely easy to use, with a user-friendly UI.

Cons

It was a little painful at the very beginning, when we were trying to configure it right. Once we passed that phase - no more issues noticed.

### "Assessment of a solution for setting up a professional community around several topics"

October 8, 2019

4.0

Business purpose consists in providing community solutions within a large professional organization where a wide range of topics needs to be discussed between a large panel of professionals

Pros

Easy to setup Quite attractive & intuitive interface for end users Ability to select on which communities one may want to have a look and potentially make contributions & have interactions with other community members

Cons

May become difficult not be puzzled in such large tree views of various communities Too many information entries may lead to confusion & let people publish information almost anywhere Needs to be seriously moderated in order to avoid a kind of huge melting pot of data & mixed conversations

### "Internal Social Networking"

November 16, 2021

4.0

It has been great to engage with colleagues on the platform, since other social media platforms are blocked on the firewall.

Pros

It is safe and only authorized users have access to this corporate social network to engage and share latest news/updates within the organization.

Cons

Not sure if one can integrate with Microsoft Stream for videos. It would be awesome.

Switched from

[Meta for Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/213257/Facebook/)

It came with the Microsoft license or subscription. We gave it a try and we have never looked back after that.

### "Makes Work too Social"

May 10, 2022

4.0

I used it once to look at posts. I've never really used it again. Yammer is like work webpage Facebook and Microsoft Teams is like Facebook Messenger & more. They should have integration, otherwise, I'm getting flooded by notifications two times!

Pros

It's straightforward and very easy to use. There is no learning curve at all. it really does a good job of keeping everyone connected, having organized communities, summarizing posts. It's to have the poll options and question options.

Cons

It's almost TOO social. This isn't really a complaint about the product but more so on implementation. Most companies have Microsoft Teams in addition to Yammer. My company has both and we have social communities on Teams as well. It is definitely overkill to have BOTH Yammer and Teams communities. Maybe if they were integrated together, it would make sense. But I am constantly annoyed by Yammer notifs and Team notifs. I basically have muted ALL my Yammer notifs and only check Teams.

### "Yammer UX rivedibile "

October 23, 2022

4.0

Pros

La gestione dei contenuti è buona dando la positiva di utilizzare lo strumento come repository documentale per la condivisione con la community.

Cons

Personalmente non lo trovo semplice e immediato nell’utilizzo come utente spot. La collaborazione con la community è limitata. Ok come repository documentale ma poco ingaggiante per il networking.

One of the best solutions to share content and knowledge. Very simple to use and within my company I even receive a daily wrap-up of main discussed topics.

No cons regarding this software. Very useful and simple to use, a must-have for collaboration across any company.

### "Social Media for the Workplace"

July 30, 2019

3.0

It is definitely useful for connecting people. Our company has message boards for a wide variety of interests--whether pets, outdoor activities, volunteering, whatever--and that makes it possible to feel connected and as though the company cares about me as an individual and my personal interests outside of work. Through these boards, we are able to plan group events and/or seek out advice related to the topic. This does promote a certain cohesiveness among colleagues. That said, it is effectively just social media for the intranet. It's great at what it does, but you really have to want something like this (and you need buy-in from a large contingent of your organization) to reap the benefits. Otherwise, it's just another ancillary item you pay for.

Pros

Great way to communicate with colleagues with similar interests across a large company, particularly to connect people who work in different locations. A good opportunity for connecting people to their passions and those who have like-minded interests.

Cons

If you are part of several message boards, it becomes hard to keep track. It's also effectively a professional version of Facebook, for better or worse.
