A powerful tool for managing subscriptions within the organization

It's undoubtedly more complex compared to the initial part. It depends on the requirements. You can't categorically say that HubSpot is only suitable for smaller devices; it's adaptable to various needs. Depending on the requirements, you can have a project completed within as little as six months or as long as a few years. It's a flexible solution that can cater to your specific needs. However, it's essential to start from the beginning, designing the screens and pages within HubSpot. It's somewhat similar to building a website but generally more straightforward to use. You need to input the necessary information based on your specific requirements, and it's not limited to a predefined structure. The team initiates the process with what we term as solution design, but it's more appropriately labeled as enterprise design. This initial phase involves understanding the integration points with other systems and commencing the configuration process. It's essentially the starting point for our analysis. The analysis covers several aspects, including the language requirements, integration tools for interfacing with Java server solutions, and how to effectively use these tools. All these components must seamlessly complement each other. Once the team has everything in place and confirms the tools, they can proceed to elaborate on the specific requirements. The deployment timeline typically ranges from four to six months, specifically for straightforward or standard requirements. However, in the case of a large enterprise organization with numerous legal entities across different countries, each requiring unique interfaces for various purposes, the implementation duration is highly dependent on the specific requirements. It's not feasible to provide a fixed period for such a solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One notable feature is the "improvement training," which allows you to define groups, facilitate information sharing, enable participant rating, and establish rankings. This enables you to identify which participants are actively engaged and sharing information and which ones are less active."

"The design of the solution is its most valuable feature."

"Valuable features include the integration with Microsoft Office and the fact that it is in the cloud. Also, it's quite easy to use."

"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."

"People share their files and ideas and attend meetings in a collaborative manner."

"We can send out notifications and ask questions using Yammer."

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."

"The user interface and the way we can share and search information are the most valuable. It is very easy to use."

"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."

More Yammer pros

Cons

"I'm hopeful for more integrations with SAP JAM in the future."

"This solution would be improved if it was well integrated with other communication applications."

"I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer."

"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."

"The interface is clunky and could be improved."

"Yammer should offer flexibility to allow branding without writing any code."

"Yammer should be able to integrate with Microsoft products, such as Outlook."

"The permissions are a little bit over-complicated."

"The solution's feature for sharing could be better."

More Yammer cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You need to pay for additional languages. It is somewhat expensive and the payment frequency can be annual or monthly, depending on the choice. There are no extra costs beyond the standard license and implementation fees."

"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."

"The pricing is not bad."

"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."

"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."

"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."

"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."

SAP Jam vs. Yammer

From the limited experience I have with both, I prefer SAP Jam, as it’s configurable and has richer functionality. Yammer is fine for discussion but less for content. The positioning of SAP Jam in the SAP portfolio looks also more sure and well thought, while the way Microsoft is integrating Sharepoint, Yammer and now LinkedIn triggers some questions.

Hi all, We had the same dilemma. In short: If you want to integrate with SAP, Jam is the best option. We currently have two connections to JAM. One for HR and one for CRM. As always integration is the issue and when it comes to SAP, JAM is the better option and is also playing more and more of a dominant role in the SAP Roadmap. Hope this helps.
