We performed a comparison between Slack and Yammer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Social Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"We use Slack for general communication, conference calls, and sharing screens because we have people working from different countries."
"It offers customization options for various applications, including integrations with Zoom for video calls and a wide range of other integration plugins."
"The portal is at its best version now."
"The most valuable feature is that we can easily integrate different workloads and the alerts are reliable. Also because it allows us to use it as a monitoring tool sometimes."
"Slack is a collaboration tool where you can create specific topic-related channels and manage different threads on different talks so people can interact and maintain a chat."
"The solution makes it easy to create groups, share documents, and communicate."
"The most valuable feature is the screen sharing, which works well."
"With respect to being a clean and efficient communications platform, I think that it does the job quite well."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"We can send out notifications and ask questions using Yammer."
"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 most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface."
"The solution was stable."
"It's really easy to use the solution."
"The posting features are valuable."
"The integration with Teams is the biggest value for us. In fact, it has only become more valuable now that it has integration with Teams. Teams allows you to stream, so that's good."
"The mobile app needs improvement. It consistently misses notifications."
"There could be a read function so that when you send a message, instead of the other person having to add a reaction, you know that the message went through."
"Customization is something that Slack is lacking."
"It could be more stable than one of its competitors."
"I want a feature in the solution that will help me share documents only with the set of people that I prefer rather than all of them. I would also like the solution to have a feature similar to Microsoft SharePoint where you can group all your documents."
"I have found it cumbersome to create and set up groups, or channels."
"For me, the only thing I can say is that every time somebody sent me an attachment, the attachment was listed somewhere, and then I had to open the conversation and go to the individual to open it. So there is no handy repository or an easy way to quickly look at attachments. For me, that was a bit difficult."
"Slack should add a feature to schedule meetings."
"The solution's feature for sharing could be better."
"Yammer has very limited features."
"Although Microsoft is working on it, having a centralized network instead of creating multiple networks based on a domain would help businesses with multiple companies or child companies."
"Users need to be in the Acting Directory to exploit the features."
"The product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools."
"Yammer should include more integrations."
"I faced some issues with Yammer's mobile app when I shifted from Android to iPhone, and it got a little bit tricky to use it on an iPhone, which took away some of my time."
"If you are using other applications that are tough to integrate into the environment, that can cause limitations."
