Featured Reviews

Aryan Singh1 - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The design of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface."
"Yammer brings in the most relevant posts to the users."
"The solution was stable."
 

Cons

"There needs to be a restriction on who can download content."
"The product should allow users to assign tasks and automate processes."
"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 conferencing feature does not work well with multiple parties or locations."
"The implementation could be made easier."
"Yammer should include more integrations."

"This solution would be improved if it was well integrated with other communication applications."
"It has a very limited use."
"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."
"The product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools."
"I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer."
"We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution seemed expensive to me."
"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."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"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."
"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."

Since #SPC12 almost every SharePoint addicted developer, it-pro, power user has reviewed Yammer. If you don’t know what Yammer is, here a…
