"The design of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"Yammer allows collaboration anywhere, anytime, on any device."
"People share their files and ideas and attend meetings in a collaborative manner."
"Its most valuable features are the storyline and communities."
"The initial setup was simple and straightforward."

Cons

"The audio calling service needs to improve its quality."
"There were some additional features coming up, as they informed us through email. But we didn't get any update on them."
"The initial setup for Avaya Spaces is very good for me, but for sharing with other users, the setup is a little bit complex compared to other solutions I have used, such as Zoom or Teams, as the installation is more complex."
"The product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools."
"The interface is clunky and could be improved."
"The permissions are a little bit over-complicated."
"This solution would be improved if it was well integrated with other communication applications."
"We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient."
"Sometimes, we lose access to the solution for unknown reasons."
"Yammer should be able to integrate with Microsoft products, such as Outlook."
"Yammer's UX and UI are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license grants you a subscription and costs about $120. I am not aware of additional costs."
"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
"I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"We get it as part of our Office 365 subscriptions, so I don't think we pay any additional cost for Yammer. It's included in the Office 365 subscriptions."
"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"The pricing is not bad."
