What do you like best about Yammer?

I love how user-friendly Yammer is - its layout and operation are intuitive. It's a great way to stay in touch with colleagues, be up-to-date on work developments, and create private groups for friends or family so you can share fun experiences together. The platform also keeps internal employees informed about interesting initiatives that could help them improve their skillset! Everyone should feel comfortable voicing any problems they have, too - within the corporate intranet, it functions just like social media does externally, making it easy to use thanks to exceptional support provided by Yammer staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yammer?

The need for clarity on how Yammer should be used creates confusion among our users. There isn't a consensus regarding whether it should serve as an ongoing, multi-dimensional hub for conversations or offer quick updates and dialogue about projects and cooperation. This has caused difficulty in generating hype about this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The primary problem that Yammer can help to solve is the ineffectiveness of using email for notifications and invitations within a corporate organization. Implementing this platform makes it easier to bring together employees from different departments, spread announcements/information quickly across all parts of the company, and encourage participation in activities.

What do you like best about Yammer?

Yammer was introduced in our organization as a social media platform exclusively for FUN at WORK. We can share pictures(Memories), Memes( non-offensive), conduct Polls for any random ideas, and have Fun Committee announcements. Our Fun Committee completely handled yammer. The platform was a hit in our Organization. Various appreciation posts were posted, which motivated people and created a positive vibe in the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yammer?

Nothing I could think of; the platform was beautiful and exceptionally handled the FUN side of our employees. Although, there can be many features added up in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We wanted to keep Work-related and FUN elements separate, as notifications can be annoying while working. Hence, Yammer was introduced in our Organisation. The platform handles all the social media, fun events, polls and Beautiful memories shared with our Organisation. All of this without the cost of any distraction from work.

What do you like best about Yammer?

The best thing I like about Yammer is the ability to create your community and communicate with only the intended ones and colleagues. The new Yammer looks like Facebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yammer?

The least helpful idea about Yammer is that it requires people to log in and keep watching the feed or space. It would have been better if the notifications were just shown as a banner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Yammer is solving a lot of problems. Problems with communicating to multiple teams working in different timezones; I can quickly put my message, and people from different timezones can read it when they can. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
