What do you like best about Yammer?

Yammer is like a useful chat and sharing space for teams and groups at work. It helps us talk, share stuff, and keep everyone in the loop. It's great for quick updates, and it plays nicely with other Microsoft tools we use, making work smoother. So, whether we're passing on knowledge, giving a pat on the back, or just staying connected, Yammer's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yammer?

What do you dislike about Yammer?

Yammer is quite like confluence in many terms and also needs to introduce a lot of newer and unique features in order to sustain as a one and only option for sharing any news or data with your peer or professional communities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yammer solving and how is that benefiting you?

There is a lot of sensitive data or even posts relevant to only a few people in the organization. Yammer helps create those common communities and notifies all of them at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yammer?

One of the best social media platforms for colleagues who are working in companies. In Yammer, anyone can easily form a group or community where they can easily share ideas. All content related to your work or career across organizations may be posted separately by anyone. Yammer's user interface is very remarkable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yammer?

until now I didn't have any major issues while using yammer. however, it doesn't give adequate recommendations about collages that use yammer, and the home screen has jumbled information that you can't filter by interest, but overall it's a fantastic application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yammer solving and how is that benefiting you?

There isn't a social networking platform like Yammer for cooperative colleagues that allows for thought-sharing. Everyone inside the organization can easily create announcements using this platform. Everyone can communicate with staff members from various departments. Anybody can use Yammer to share their memories with the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yammer?

I enjoy the ability to create new communities on topics that range from specific office locations or hobbies, to specialized conversations about personal journeys. The fact that those who don't wish to participate can opt out of these discussion adds a layer of safety I appreciate; as well as being able email notifications anytime there is new information posted in any community they choose! Yammer truly provides an environment suitable for speaking more casually and personally with coworkers without feeling exposed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yammer?

I strongly disagree with the concept of enterprise social media like Yammer. I find that nobody is interested in using it, which further leads to a lack of engagement or interest when seeing what others post. Additionally, this platform was created for an issue that never should have been solved in the first place and automated emails are often used as being one’s only option so its use becomes redundant at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yammer solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am having difficulty finding a comprehensive list of Yammer communities, which could enable new hires to make an informed decision about what division to join at their corporation. While usage appears limited, this may be due to the fact that I work for such a large organization and would not recognize any users even if there were more using it.

What do you like best about Yammer?

that you can interface with work colleagues across many subjects, and get to know a bit about them outside of work. They will talk about things on there that they cannot or will not talk about in person or within 'work meetings' Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yammer?

some people get super political on there, even offensive, with no fear of retaliation for being unprofessional. Basically you leave facebook just to get on Yammer and find some of the same divisive talk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yammer solving and how is that benefiting you?

solves finding people to help me with certain work-related problems, while also seeing who i want to work with if i find something pleasant (or alarming). it can help determine whether I will reach out to them or not Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
