What do you think about Pharmacy behaved to measure, I consider that it has provided very beneficial results for the entirety of my company, which has made it possible for my employees to interact much more with each other, to share ideas, solutions, publications that amusing them and many more things, there is no type of limit in the information that they can share within these publications. However, this limit is positive and negative at the same time, since sometimes we need a function to regulate a little the number of posts sent in a specific time. I will continue to use this platform since it works perfectly as a Social Network in my company, within my finance sector, this software is very important to interact with each other.
PositiveMicrosoft Viva Engage is an important social network for any type of company, the functions and tools that characterize this insurance help to have an excellent interaction between all the employees and participants of this group, this platform offers constant interaction between several participants . Currently, I consider that this software has provided many positive features that have allowed constant communication between the employees of my company, what I like the most about this platform is that you do not have any type of limit regarding what employees can send within of the social network, they can create the number of posts they want, as well as they can create all kinds of comments at any time, they can share images with each other within the posts or comments, as well as they can enjoy excellent direct messaging that allows them to speak in groups or speak individually.

NegativeThe first thing that has to be used within this platform is with respect to the word search system, when entering a word to carry out the corresponding search, the system only shows a part of the results of said search, omitting the older results in order to provide a more precise search, however, this only overshadows the older results, I would like this search system to be much more complete. Another of the features of this platform in the file sharing system, I have noticed that when sending files through a group chat or individual sharing, the files take a long time to upload to the cloud correctly, therefore, the user you could use services like OneDrive to send files to your colleagues. Prices also have to be improved for each of the plans on this platform, as it works with Microsoft 365, prices may be a bit high for some people.

Optimal service to strengthen the interaction between employees and the work team.
Date: Dec 14 2022SummaryI have really loved Microsoft Viva Engage because this platform has helped us a lot to be able to communicate and interact, as well as it has allowed us to share ideas and hold discussions, this platform allows us to create surveys where all employees can vote, as well as allows us to create post-type quizzes, allows us to create a text post, incorporate images or Videos for posts and also allows us to make all kinds of comments, we can also use emojis. I totally recommend the platform for any company, despite being a platform with expensive plans for you, I consider that the functions they offer are suitable for paying such a high rate, It has a good price-quality comparison, In addition, this platform will It allows you to have a direct messaging service with your entire work team and with the other teams that belong to your company, to communicate with any employee through direct messaging offered by this platform. The general experience offered by this platform has been really pleasant, it was easy to start using it, also for the first time with my Microsoft account to each of the employees on this platform so that we can interact constantly, I consider that this platform will continue to be used in our real estate company for many more years.
PositiveMicrosoft Viva Engage has been a very important platform when it comes to developing constant communication with my entire work team. I really like that this platform has great accessibility to the Office 365 system, thanks to this connectivity I can have access to each of the Office 365 programs and be able to edit documents together with my colleagues within this platform called Viva Engage. Each of the documents shared within this platform can be viewed immediately thanks to the integration it has with the Office 365 system, the integration is very incredible and very beneficial for the work environment. I really liked the fact of being able to view each of the status updates made by my employees in real time, within this platform I can see in real time each of the publications that have been made recently, I can also see in real time who is writing a comment on a post, I can see every comment posted instantly, I can also see all the interactions that all employees have done on the posts, all in real time. I also liked how advanced the publication creation system is, since it offers very perfect tools to create a fairly complete publication, where you can insert any type of video, images, or insert attachments to your publication, in addition, you can modify completely the text source of each post you have created, you can also modify the privacy of each post so that it is shown to specific employees, Without a doubt I really liked the fact that it is to form is complete to offer me a service of creation of publications, creation of comments and interaction with my work team.
NegativeThe main disadvantage of this platform is that it does not have any type of system incorporated that regulates the number of publications or comments within this social network, which means that employees will be able to create all the publications they want daily. This is a real problem since that on some occasions in our company the creation of publications has gotten out of control, on some days our employees that there are many publications which causes the social network to be saturated with information, it would be excellent if this platform had a service or a function to regulate the number of posts or comments that can be created every day. The second negative thing about this platform is that despite the fact that it offers us an interaction on this social network, it is not possible to make any type of group video call with the members of our business social faith, for which reason, I will be social only serves to create posts, and interact with comments or as opinions on a post, I cannot create any type of video call with some employees of the social network; although I can communicate with them through the direct messaging that Viva Engage offers me. The last negative thing about this platform is that it is quite expensive, due to the interaction it has with the Office 365 service, its price is very high, in addition, there is currently no type of plan within this platform that does not have this integration implemented, this causes all the plans offered by the platform to be really expensive and not accessible by small companies.

A social network that is really worthwhile and that helps communication benefit on a large scale.
Date: Jul 22 2022SummaryI am happy to be using this platform within our company because it has optimized communication in it, it has allowed all our employees to interact much more often, they can also share ideas and solutions for some of their activities during the conference labor. One of the main things that has to be implemented in this platform is some system to control the time of sending messages or publications, this would serve as a system to regulate the publications and comments and avoid creating a ruckus within the Social Network. . Our general experience with this platform has been excellent, all our employees are happy to be using it because they have been able to communicate through the same few steps, in addition, we have installed this application within mobile devices and we can contact each other without having to use from our computer. This platform also allows us to send direct messages to a specific person who belongs to your business network, it is a complete platform.
PositiveMicrosoft Yammer It is an incredible platform to have constant communication with all your work colleague, it works as a business social network, where all employees and colleagues can interact, create publications and make comments in just a few steps. The main thing I liked about this Microsoft app is that there is no limit to how many posts I can make, I can make multiple posts to share information with my co-workers, as well as there is no limit regarding the comments that can be made on a specific publication. Another thing that I like about Microsoft Yammer is that I put an excellent integration with the OneDrive service, we use this cloud storage service in this company, and we have connected it with this Microsoft Yammer system, in this way we can create publications using files that we have stored in our OneDrive cloud, the synchronization between both platforms is excellent and it never has any kind of crash. I love the whole of this Social Network, I can create posts at any time, interact with the employees that belong to our business life and I can also share ideas from anywhere in the world.
NegativeThe main negative feature about this Microsoft platform is that the word search system is not that efficient, when you enter a word into this search bar, it only shows a part of the results, only the most recent results, thus avoiding displaying the oldest results. This has been a real problem within our company because we have been using this platform for more than a year, and when we want to search for a specific message or publication using a word, sometimes we have a hard time finding a publication that is really old. It would be great if the word search system within this platform is optimized as soon as possible. Another of the negative things about this platform is that it can be a bit expensive compared to alternatives, this Microsoft platform is really expensive and I do not recommend it for small or medium-sized companies.

A complete social network to strengthen collaborative work and interaction between all the employees on your team.
Date: Aug 10 2022SummaryMy general experience was positive mainly because this platform has been very useful to contact other employees within the sectors of our company, it is not printed real estate is divided into several sectors, for which this platform has been key to connecting with each other, within We have incorporated all the sectors of our company into this business network, so that employees can interact with each other and share ideas, as well as strengthen collaborative work. This social network has been very useful within our marketing sector, since every time we are going to do something within our company, we notify through this means so that all users or employees can view them immediately, this social network allows you to interact with all employees in a general way, where everyone can make all kinds of comments and can create the publications they want. However, within this platform, some kind of anti-spam system must also be incorporated, to prevent many publications from being created and a disaster from forming within the work network, it is absolutely necessary that this system be simply implemented as soon as possible to control the number of posts. Viva Engage It is a software that is very useful for medium or large companies, because it offers high prices and I do not recommend it for small companies. Its effectiveness when it comes to connecting employees is fantastic, you can create publications and interact through this social network as many times as you want.
PositiveViva Engage works as an excellent social network service, its ability to support the large volume of Messages and interactions is incredible, allowing all users to share ideas, generate publications at any time, make comments or post all kinds of images or Videos. Within the social network, it is incredible how this platform works, it is capable of gathering up to more than 1,000 employees in a single site, and supporting the large volume of messages and publications. The main feature that I liked about this social network is that there is no type of limit regarding the publications that you can make, it is a positive factor that helps you to create all kinds of publications without worrying about the limit. I also liked the fact that I can choose who will be the people who can see my publication, when I am in a company network within this platform, I can choose the privacy of said publication, or place it so that it is visible to the entire work network . Finally, I love the communication system that this platform has, despite working as a social network in which posts are created and comments are made, it also allows direct messages to be sent, which helps communication to always benefit. Next, I will mention the most important features for me in a positive way.
* You can tag all kinds of people within the posts you make, you can also tag people in the comments you place on a post, I also love the fact that you can upload a large number of images within your comment or post, this helps to make the publication much more complete or that you can upload a screenshot within your comment. It is important to note that you can also upload Videos in your comment or publication, a very useful function if you want to create a more complete publication.
* You can carry out debates or simple selection votes, with specific questions where you only have to press an option to be able to vote correctly, these votes help make the social network much more interactive, you can create all the votes you have left on a daily basis, In addition, the answers of your work colleagues will be displayed within the vote in a matter of seconds.
* The application for mobile devices also works wonderfully, so you can create all kinds of publications from your mobile phone, receive immediate notifications to your mobile device when a comment is mentioned in a publication, as well as receive notifications when you have received some direct message within the platform, this application is very useful for all users.
* It has an excellent integration with the Microsoft 365 system, which helps make the social network much more complete and you can have many more features, for example, when it works with Microsoft 365, you can link it with your OneDrive cloud storage , and get an excellent import or export of documents or files to your Viva Engage platform. For example, if you need to share a file with your work network, you can link your OneDrive account and use a file that you have stored in the cloud, it's immediate.NegativeIn my opinion, this platform is extremely expensive compared to other social networks that serve the business environment, its main objective is to connect the various employees so that they can interact with each other and share ideas, as well as debates or discussions within of the platform, however its prices are extremely high as it works with the Microsoft 365 system, thanks to this integration you can get better results and you can expand your experience, so if you are looking for some software to use as a social network and improve productivity of your equipment without spending a lot of money that is not the best option to consider, since there is an alternative that is much more accessible with respect to the prices they offer. Another thing that has to be used within this platform is the word search system, in which we have noticed that the more we use or create publications within the platform, the fewer results are generated when searching for a specific word, for For example, if a word has been used many times within the social network, it will be very difficult to find an exact result for a specific publication, if you put that word in the search engine, only the most recent results will appear, thus omitting the older results to optimize your search. Those are the only two negative factors that I have considered about this platform, since all its general functionalities fulfill the corresponding objective.

Excellent work modality to favor group work.
Date: May 19 2022SummaryDespite the high costs that this platform has, and the payment rate that we make annually for the services of this platform, we are satisfied with the results obtained so far. Our ROI has been completed after spending a month using the platform, we noticed that all our work staff was much more connected and will be able to interact with each other without having to move from their work area. We do not have that this platform had brought innovative results for our entire company, our employees could now work as a team with any application by installing it in the Yammer system. This platform will continue to be used in all areas of our company, we are a company that needs to be united and work together to achieve concrete sales of all our properties. We are grateful for the great general functionality of this software, we love the way that this software has compatibility with Office 365, since this allows us to export and import all types of information existing in the various Microsoft applications.
PositiveMicrosoft Yammer It has great potential to function as a social network service for all types of companies, currently in our company it is used by all our employees, we have made all our employees use it because this platform is capable of keeping us connected in At all times, it allows us to communicate on a large scale, share information, work in teams and diversify various comments and publications. One of the main things that I love about Microsoft Yammer is that it has an excellent word search system, this search system allows me to find a specific message, it is important to highlight that on our main page of the Social Network we have too many publications, And sometimes it is difficult to find a specific publication or comment, with this search tool we can find what we are looking for in a matter of seconds. Another thing that I love about Microsoft Yammer is that it has excellent integration with all Office 365 services, this integration allows me to work as a team, for example I can install the Excel application on my Yammer system, and it can perform spreadsheet with the collaboration of my work team. Integration with Office services is one of the most important features, as it has undoubtedly strengthened our teamwork and has allowed us to complete various tasks more easily. Finally, I must emphasize that I loved the way that Microsoft Yammer processes all the posts and comments in real time, this helps me to be able to visualize the latest posts that my co-workers have made and also allows me to interact with each one of them in real time, it's really impressive.
NegativeMainly, we have no complaints regarding the general functionality of Microsoft Yammer. However, we must mention that one of the negative points that emerged during our experience is that there is no guide to configure or install any application within the Microsoft Yammer system. When we were learning to use this platform, we felt quite familiar since the main functions to be able to publish and maintain an active social network are quite simple, but when configuring the applications that we would use in our social network, it was a process that it cost quite a lot, and we even had to contact the support team directly to help us implement these much-needed apps for us. I think there should be some guide to speed up this process. Another negative point that has nothing to do with the functions of Microsoft Yammer, is that it is quite expensive software, each of its plans has the Office 365 system as an extension, that is what makes it so expensive compared to others. Social networking platforms that are much cheaper, the price of Microsoft Yammer can be expensive for some companies.

Effective platform for constant communication and interaction.
Date: Nov 24 2022SummaryMicrosoft Viva Engage is a platform that I have loved a lot, mainly because it has strengthened the communication of my work team, in addition, it has not only strengthened communication but it has also provided us with a panel where we can share all kinds of ideas, within this platform I can carry out all kinds of posts and interact with my colleagues or employees, I can monitor all the comments I receive, I can enjoy an excellent notification system that lets me know when someone has commented or reacted to one of the posts I have reviewed, plus I can mention to anyone within a comment or post. In conclusion, the experience that this platform has given me has been really good and complete. I consider that it has helped me a lot to interact with all the employees of my company, to visualize what job role each one has. In addition, it has allowed me to meet and interact via messaging with a specific work group as well as allowing me to send a direct message to my specific plan. I consider that this platform will continue to be used in my company for the next few years.
PositiveViva Engage is our main platform to stay connected and be able to interact with all the employees and colleagues in my company, we use this social network throughout our company, all sectors of the companies are using it to communicate constantly, one of the first things that What I loved about this business social network is that it allows me to create posts without any limits, also, I can check comments, share content within the social network and interact and react to posts without any limits, this is impressive since It limits my activity within this work social network. Another of the things that I love about this platform is that it allows me to send direct messages or group messages, this messaging system is quite important for me, since I can send messages to any employee of my company, it is important to highlight that this platform It has a role function, where I can place and register the job role that each of the employees has, so that they are identified within the social network, in this way I can communicate openly with someone, it is the sales car, someone people from my company or some other job. Also, I loved that this platform has the Office 365 service integrated, in this way I can use all the services in an integrated way, I can access the creation and editing of documents within the platform thanks to this excellent integration.
NegativeOne of the main negative things about this platform is regarding new users, the different platform difficult to use when a person is starting to use for the first time, since they have to do various configurations to assign each of the roles of work of each employee, so that they are identified within the social network, this is a complicated process, which is why I consider that each user who enters this platform for the first time must have their work team trained to use it. In addition, the second negative thing that this platform has is the high costs, it is a quite expensive platform, which does not offer very accessible plans for small companies. I consider that this is a fairly complete social network that helps to strengthen collaborative work and at the same time time to strengthen the communication of the teams, therefore, I consider that this platform should only be used by medium or large companies, since the high prices for each of the users is quite high, and I consider that currently communication applications are much more cheap. The third negative thing about this platform is regarding the application for mobile phones, the application in general is quite good, but it does not offer a fairly complete experience, since the word search and post search system is quite outdated, it does not work in the same way as in the version for computers, since it takes a long time to show all the results of a search.

I love the entire platform, I feel very comfortable using it, all its sections are very well organized, I can do some type of word search in a matter of seconds, you can interact with my team through posts and comments without any of limit.

1.- You can make all the publications in a very complete way, you can insert all kinds of Videos or images allusive to the publication that you are making, in addition, within each publication you can modify the privacy of it, choosing so that it is only visible for some people or for the entire public, in addition, all the publications you make within this platform will also have a mechanism to share them on other social networks simultaneously, a very important function that helps you share a publication in several places at the same time.

4.- It works normally with the Office 365 system, in this way you can import all kinds of documents that you make into your Viva Engage system, Each one of the documents that you make in the various Office 365 services, you can use within of your social network, with just one click, this function is very important and helps you share all kinds of documents with your work team, whether in a publication or a comment.NegativeOne of the main negative characteristics of this platform is regarding the high prices that it has, I have navigated between the different plans that this platform offers for companies, and I have realized that it is a quite expensive social network for some companies, which I recommend for companies that are starting in the industry, small companies should not use this platform because it would take time to have a good return on investment, they will notice that the platform is extremely expensive for the capital they manage, it recommends a platform for medium-sized companies or large, to strengthen your work team and ensure that communication benefits on a large scale. This negative point is very important and I believe that new plans with much more affordable prices have to be implemented, this platform is extremely expensive. Regarding the functionalities of this social network, I admit that I have never had any problem with any functionality, I have always been able to communicate with my work team without any type of failure.

Satisfying to share ideas and new solutions.
Date: Feb 26 2022SummaryThe capacity for communication and interaction of our employees has improved positively and progressively, despite the fact that there have sometimes been problems with employees who do not get along very well, we consider that we have had a very good experience, our employees have been able to share ideas continuously, they can share posts, files and much more with their colleagues without any limit. In addition, the Managers of the various sectors have also been able to share ideas and solutions so that our employees do their jobs better. It is a more feasible way to control employees and to know what they are talking about on the social network. We are grateful for the results.
PositiveYammer works as a social network to connect the different branches of a company, allowing them to communicate, interact and share ideas, posts and comments. During my experience, one of the things that I have liked the most about Yammer are:
- Yammer has no type of limit regarding the publications that can be made within the circle of our company's social network. I can share all kinds of posts with my co-workers without feeling like I'm limited to posting, plus there are also no limits to comments on a post. This social network is quite complete.
- Yammer has two functionalities, it allows you to create chat channels to communicate with a specific audience of employees, but it also has a general section where publications are shared and all colleagues can interact with each other. Having these two sections allows me to choose the way I want to communicate.
- Uploading images or files in the comments section of a post is quite fast, I can post a comment with an image in a matter of seconds.
- Yammer has great connectivity with OneDrive, which makes sharing files with colleagues even easier. I can make a post with some file or image that I have stored in OneDrive, since both are connected.NegativeYammer has a very good platform to provide general employee communication, however, during my experience there have also been several negative factors that need to be mentioned, these factors were:

- There is no way to control the posts made by our employees. It is a free social network where everyone can post what they want, without content restrictions. Sometimes our employees get into long discussions that do not benefit us, I would like the software to quickly detect this behavior or have an automatic blocking of obscene words so that our employees have a better behavior in our social network.
- Microsoft support takes a long time to answer support tickets. We have sent tickets when we didn't understand how the delete post system worked, we had to figure it out on our own as support hadn't responded yet. -

We believe that the platform has been very important for the entire real estate company, since it has allowed us to share all kinds of ideas, generate publications immediately, and make unlimited comments. In addition, all the information shared within this social network is protected by an encryption key and by an encryption service, therefore, there will never be any risk with the information shared within this business social network. In conclusion, I am going to be delighted with the general functioning of this platform, I fully trust that it will continue to provide us with a system that helps us communicate with each other.
PositiveViva Engage is a very efficient service that focuses on connecting the universe of employees and ensuring that they can have a consecutive interaction, this platform helps a lot so that employees can connect, interact, share videos and send messages constantly. Next, I will mention the things that I liked the most about this business communication platform.
1.- One of the main things that I like about this platform is the real-time operation, with real-time operation I mean that all the publications are uploaded to the platform and to the cloud immediately, each publication that is make within this social network, it can be viewed by all employees instantly, in addition, all the comments that have been made within a publication can also be viewed by all employees in real time. Real-time operation is one of the things that I have loved the most, since it allows all employees to interact constantly, in addition, they can view all the interaction in real time, without delays.
2.- Another thing that I liked about this platform is the messaging interaction service, this service allows you to create various work groups where there can be communication through a Live Chat, these chats that are created within this platform helps a lot with my employees' communication, also, it helps a lot with the interaction of a specific work team, for example, the marketing sector wants to use this platform, where they can interact as a team and share ideas and solutions to solve activities every day. In addition, this system is also used to send messages individually, each employee can send a direct message to a specific colleague or to an employee from another work area.
3.- Another of the features that I like within this platform is regarding the statistics system, this statistics system helps me understand the interaction system that has been working in my company during the last months or specific weeks, for For example, I can statistically visualize the interaction that our employees have had within this social network in a specific week, this helps me understand how many publications have been created, how many comments have been created, an interaction can be understood as decreasing or increasing, and many more things, without a doubt this statistical function helps me understand the process of communication of all employees within the company.
4.- The fourth thing that I have loved about this platform is that it works in an integrated way with the Microsoft 365 system, this helps to have an immediate connection with any type of Microsoft service, it has an excellent integration with the service from the Microsoft cloud, also with systems like Office, and also has an immediate connection with the SharePoint system. This integration is very beneficial, and helps us to do various things within any Microsoft service in a connected way with our Viva Engage social network service. I love the integration service, since I can use all the Microsoft tools within this Social Network, in addition, I can modify documents in collaboration with my work team while we interact within this Social Network.
5.- I have also loved that this platform allows me to create much more complete publications than on any other platform, since I can create publications and there is no type of limit in the text that can be inserted, in addition, you can update any type of image to attach to each post, you can also set various Videos on the number of things I can write within that post, and you have poor limits on the number of images you can upload in a specific post. The publication creation system is impressive, and it has left me quite satisfied. It is important to note that to make a comment on a publication, there are limits and the number of characters that can be written.NegativeMicrosoft Viva Engage is a service that is very worthwhile mainly because it is able to connect an entire company within one place, interaction is the main thing that benefits from this platform, however, I have also noticed several negative things about of this platform. I will mention them below.

1.- One of the main negative things that this platform has is that it is quite difficult to use, the adaptation process for new users is quite complicated, it is a very difficult platform to use since you have to know what the attitude is how to configure it and integrate it with the various Microsoft services, in addition, you have to know how to create publications, and how to modify the audience that can view those publications. It is quite a complex process, adapting to this platform can be a bit complicated for some users. I highly recommend using a commissioned and trained team to perform the primary adaptation role for this platform.
2.- The second negative thing that this platform has is that there is no type of function to limit the number of publications that a specific user can create, on the one hand it is very positive that there are no limits on the publications that are can create in a general way, since this helps other employees to keep interacting within the platform, however, it would be excellent if the christian system could regulate the number of publications that a specific user can create, since there are some occasions in which an employee does not stop creating posts every day, which causes only that employee to keep interacting with the others. It's very important that we simply put the system in place to limit the number of posts for each employee, so that we can make sure that every employee engages every day.
3.- The high costs of this platform are also a negative factor, I consider that it is a social network for companies that is quite expensive compared to others, despite the fact that it has an immediate connection with the Microsoft system and a fairly constant integration and stable, I consider that the prices used by this platform are quite high, it offers quite good tools and features so that users can develop constant communication, however, the prices should be more tied to reality so that small companies can have access to that platform. -

Organize network management with your colleagues with Yammer
Date: Mar 27 2021SummaryAlthough it leaves much to be desired in terms of security and confidentiality among the chat rooms that this application offers, it is a good network management application with programming tools and collaboration with other employees pays to manage an effective network management in our company.
PositiveYammer offers a system for creating collaborative groups with our coworkers to organize all the programmatic content of tasks to manage for the management of social networks in our organization. In addition, it has a chat to transfer various attachments for more effective communication.
NegativeAlthough it is a good collaboration tool, it does not have a storage for previously attached documents and various files. In addition to the above, the chat rooms do not have security tools, i.e., we can not apply access control to the chat rooms even if they are private.

The best social network for all work teams.

My overall experience has been really good, I am satisfied that I am using Microsoft Yammer as the primary social network to communicate with our colleagues in the various work areas. It is a social network without any type of limit, easy to use, where we can create publications from the mobile phone, make comments, upload images, chat privately and much more.
PositiveMicrosoft Yammer is the default social network that we use in all of our work areas so that all employees of our company share all kinds of opinions, interact, converse and generate conversation topics mutually. This platform is quite complete when it comes to creating posts and making comments of all kinds. What I like the most about Microsoft Yammer is that it has a system without any type of limit, all types of members of a work team can create unlimited publications, make comments on publications, interact with others and many other things. In addition, I love Yammer's notification system, as it sends notifications to my desktop when I have been mentioned in a comment or post, and it also sends me notifications when a co-worker has made a new post on our social network.
NegativeOne of the things I don't like at all about Microsoft Yammer is the search engine. Currently, this search system offers the user the ability to search for all kinds of words, comments or publications that have been on the social network since the beginning of time, however, the results are not totally accurate. The Microsoft Yammer search engine is not completely accurate, it does not show all the results when I search for a specific word or a comment that has been previously.

Its mobile application offers an exceptional customer experience, showing the complete combination of interactions that occur in all subjects and groups. The internet application, although it has not advanced much in recent years, provides an excellent experience of diverse resources. Personally, I use Yammer every morning to see what’s going on at my company, as well as to comment, like and share to interact on all chosen needs.
PositiveYammer is our social networking center within the company, allowing the sharing of various internal news, from sales team victories to birthday parties. We are divided into several groups, from where we can ask questions and answers about items, ensuring that there is an open forum for information and also conversations across the company.
NegativeThe user experience at Yammer, while improving mobility, has been stagnant for years, it's the same product considering since we started. It competes with several other Microsoft products, such as oTeams, for example, for partner tools from the same manufacturer.
