Offers good integration features but needs to offer more flexibility in the language option offered
There are a couple of things that can be improved in the tool. When we are talking about communications, the tool has interoperable cataloging. The only thing that needs a certain level of improvement within Meta is the vernacular, which can be dependent, as we cannot choose the process of communication that is happening in it. After I launch a bot, if I move from one country to another, and if the entire communication is happening in German, while I have just moved from France, and I need to buy a particular choice of vehicle, then I would want the entire communication to happen in my language. What Meta does not allow as of now is that if I am reaching out to you in French, then only you can have the conversation in French. You cannot select a language in the middle of a conversation. If I want to have a conversation in French, there is a very limited selection. Until and unless a conversation is triggered from a particular language, we do not have the option to choose another language. The tool gives you flexibility in the language, but that is on the business and not on the customer, which sometimes limits the approachability aspect.

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.

"The most valuable feature of Yammer is that it provides integration with Teams."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that anyone can post anything, it's free and people can do it on their own without having to translate to publish, and it's really easy to use."
 

Cons

"There needs to be a restriction on who can download content."
"The conferencing feature does not work well with multiple parties or locations."
"What Meta does not allow as of now is that if I am reaching out to you in French, then only you can have the conversation in French. You cannot select a language in the middle of a conversation."
"The product should allow users to assign tasks and automate processes."
"The implementation could be made easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The regular package costs us $4 per user per month."
"The cost has become one-tenth of the cost in comparison to the old techniques. As we were able to qualify and nurture these leads, the overall cost of the entire sales process was reduced."
"The solution seemed expensive to me."
"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
"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."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"The pricing is not bad."
