Featured Reviews

TM
Channel Director at a comms service provider with 11-50 employees
Video meetings and presentation sharing impress but user-friendliness and pricing need attention
I don't have experience with how Avaya Spaces handles integration with other software tools, but perhaps my partners have experience regarding integration with different vendors. If Avaya can integrate Spaces with other media solutions, such as WhatsApp or WeChat, it will be more friendly and useful for customers or partners.
DB
Senior Technical Product Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Creates user groups and streamlines communication
I think we should have some improvements in Yammer, similar to what we have in Facebook and others, where we can have targeted communications, so that we can filter some communications to go to a specific subset of that group, not to everybody. We would love to have some AI technologies included in Yammer, but I do not have a specific use case in mind right now.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The microphone's noise cancellation and static feature that record a human's voice are some of the most valuable features."
"We use the solution for document sharing, video conferencing, instant messaging, and file sharing."
"Stability for Avaya Spaces is quite good, and I would rate it a 9."
"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."
"Yammer is a good collaboration tool for the entire organization."
"We have been able to have multi-country project teams where members can interact in their own language."
"My organization invested a significant amount of money in the Office 365 package, and Yammer is a must if you plan to work on improving the internal communication and collaboration among your staff."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to reach all parts of the organisation to share ideas and best practices."
"It was reasonably good at creating online communities of interest."
"The design of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"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."
"I would rate the stability of Yammer as six out of ten."
"However, it was mostly slow, clunky, and frustrating to use."
"Microsoft should work on templating and provide some built-in templates so that the changes can automatically roll out to all the configured communities."
"They need to somehow enable better document sharing features. They need to provide joint drafting of documents."
"If you are not an Office 365 shop, then there are probably better options (i.e., Slack, Facebook for Work)."
"It has a very limited use."
"Sometimes, we lose access to the solution for unknown reasons."
"The ability to edit posts can be frustrating for some."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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