Overall, I find Yammer beneficial because it helps in greater engagement.

Yammer saves our time because we can communicate with a lot of people at the same time without sending a lot of emails.

The features in Yammer that I find most beneficial for team collaboration, communication, and engagement are whenever we share any updates, it automatically generates emails, and it goes to different people.

People share their files and ideas and attend meetings in a collaborative manner. They work on specific sales-related documents. Yammer allows collaboration anywhere, anytime, on any device. Its adaptability and compatibility are key strengths, along with device diagnostics.

It is part of the Microsoft suite, so I receive notifications in Teams. Although receiving notifications in Teams and email can be annoying, it is presumably configurable. 

The tool allows us to post and keep track of company buzz and events without relying on email. It functions as an internal social media platform, enabling communication about company happenings securely. There's peer-to-peer engagement where you can praise colleagues and give recognition points. It integrates with other platforms for recognition, making it an effective tool for internal communication.

The most valuable feature of Yammer is that it provides integration with Teams. You have a side-channel method of receiving those other than just email. Sometimes, when email is the only way something arrives, it gets lost in the shuffle.

Yammer still comes via email, and I look at it when I see it. However, it tends to be less easily dismissed when it pops up in Teams. I'm with a different company, and the company that I was getting it from doesn't go cross-channel into different teams. Seeing it in Teams was helpful when I was at that company.

I like the fact that you can comment on Yammer posts, interact with them, and see other people interacting with them. I think that's valuable. It's similar to Facebook, but it's for business.

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.

Overall, in terms of documentation, reporting, and integrations, I'm satisfied.

Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer.

Yammer is a good tool. My previous organization used it extensively. Pretty much everything had a Yammer channel. If someone outside the team had questions, they could just come up and ask questions using the product. Asking questions and posting things are the most important features.

If we run into an issue and a team owns the product, we can just use the solution to ask questions and get responses from that team. Otherwise, we will be stuck in a loop forever to figure it out. In a large company, we can get stuck if we don't know who to contact to determine what is happening and why.

The product was integrated into Microsoft Teams. We could collaborate easily. There are so many things we can do with Teams. So, the collaboration is at a different level when we use Microsoft products like Teams and Yammer, along with other tools that come with the suite. The solution worked well for me. I did not face anything that would make me stop using it.

The most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface. You can do your updates from the Yammer app itself. Since we have integrated it with SharePoint, we can go into SharePoint and see our latest posts from all our colleagues, or we can make our own post.

Yammer shows the post’s actions, comments, and how people react. We can quickly see what's going on. 

We use a lot of voting features where we can put star ratings on things. We use this information to guide product development and related initiatives, utilizing the collected ideas and accomplished tasks as a foundation. It works very well enough.

With Yammer, it is easy to create communities, and it is also easy to use. Yammer also makes it easy to find and have an overview of every community that is opened and created on the platform. In my company, the solution's adoption rate is not so high yet because we started to use it last year.

My organization makes more use of Office 365 Groups rather than Yammer.

Being able to tag another user is valuable when you want them to see your post. As a developer, I have to work and coordinate with various other teams and business areas. Being able to tag another user from those areas allows me to provide transparency with my work.

This product was intended to be a corporate social network, but it serves many purposes to different people.

• In our organization, we have groups dedicated to outside interests like Formula 1, exciting innovations, internal projects, client projects, and knowledge sharing communities of practice.
• The groups enable group discussion on a large scale without polluting my email inbox. I can access it at my own pace, in my own time. 
• I use Yammer to learn from others and to get access to the wealth of knowledge in our organization.
• Primarily, the group conversations and document sharing capabilities are what we use. Some people have not adopted it, so it is only as useful as the information available, based on the user base.
• It can be a really useful tool to avoid duplication of effort where others share things that they have done before.
• I would say the network and reach you get with this tool is what makes it great. I get answers from people I don't know and have never met. However, I get to learn from them and 'virtually' meet them, broadening my own network.

• External collaboration with partners: There is a unified way to send updates about departments and the enterprise, rather than sending separate communications.
• Inbox and notification for updates: This helps to manage messaging to stakeholders in a centralized and contextual way, rather than silo information sharing.
• Integration with Microsoft Office feeds: Since the enterprise works with Office, it is easy to use along with those tools.

I did not really find many valuable features. It was a tool to develop communities wherein we could carry out some good discussions within defined groups.

Otherwise, it was meant to act as more of a social media communication tool. It never achieved good adoption globally. Most of the functionality lay dormant for most of my tenure there.

Communication. We are able to communicate and keep in touch with a global audience.

As a global company, we have IT staff and users around the world. If we need to communicate a message or just make other people aware of an outage or other important information, the easiest way is to post it on yammer. Not only will they get an email about a new post, but if they
have it installed on a mobile device, they will also get a notification.

I reviewed Yammer as a judge for the 2012 SIIA CODIE Awards. Yammer was an outstanding performer in the collaborative platform category. I was given a full video demonstration of the software, and was very impressed with the following pros: *Dashboard design with full multiple application capability. * The number of outside applications that can be embedded into or integrated with Yammer. *The speed of the Yammer platform, which delivered information via multiple channels and sources *The fact that there is a mobile iOS application for Yammer. * A free version of Yammer is available to individual users who sign up * View full review »
