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."
"Valuable features include the integration with Microsoft Office and the fact that it is in the cloud. Also, it's quite easy to use."
"It has improved information sharing across the company which allows for problems to be solved much faster."
"The user interface and the way we can share and search information are the most valuable, and it is very easy to use."
"Integration into SharePoint is a valuable feature as it provides better exposure and access to users."
"The initial setup was simple and straightforward."
"Yammer's group page functionality is useful for large groups to collaborate instantaneously."
"The product has allowed cross-functional discussions across every business group throughout the company."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is that it provides integration with Teams."
 

Cons

"The audio calling service needs to improve its quality."
"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."
"There were some additional features coming up, as they informed us through email. But we didn't get any update on them."
"The lack of integration into the Microsoft Office 365 made it difficult to champion throughout the organization."
"The biggest area for improvement would be in analytics."
"Customer Service: Good through YCN, but sometimes I got frustrated by translation issue."
"Yammer can improve the effectiveness of its usage by addressing the metrics that measure user trust and perception."
"However, it was mostly slow, clunky, and frustrating to use."
"With the release of teams and groups, Yammer is losing its purpose slightly."
"Microsoft should work on templating and provide some built-in templates so that the changes can automatically roll out to all the configured communities."
"MS made us plenty of promises for Yammer and have not delivered."
 

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 think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple 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."
"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."
"The pricing is not bad."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
