"It's really easy to use the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface."
"I find it quite simple and intuitive. It's similar to using a more user-friendly interface for SharePoint. It integrates seamlessly with the browser, so you hardly notice you're using it."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"The product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools."
"Sometimes, we lose access to the solution for unknown reasons."
"The way you want to control the communication could be an issue. It depends on what kind of company you are. We are a public company, and there are some regulations that we need to comply with. Its ease of use can be an issue for a company because anybody can subscribe and use it. There are many competitors that are overlapping. Since Microsoft bought Yammer, it tends to be in the shadow. It is not put in the front from the service perspective."
"The solution's feature for sharing could be better."
"It looks slightly less clean on Chrome compared to Microsoft Edge, but it's a minor difference. There is room for improvement in user experience, like positions of elements."
"Users need to be in the Acting Directory to exploit the features."
"If you are using other applications that are tough to integrate into the environment, that can cause limitations."
"I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer."
