    Yammer gives you full communication with every sector of your company

    Date: Mar 22 2021
    Summary

    Since this program allows you to interact and collaborate with your work team through reports, transfer of files of all kinds and easy access to optimally manage your company, I could become improper decision making as a result of the little contribution of terms of use that this offers.

    Positive

    Yammer is a private network tool that works for the purpose of collaboration between companies. It maintains the communication of all the employees of your organization for a better non-presential management of the same; at the same time, it allows, in addition to closed and open chats, the option to share all types of files.

    Negative

    Yammer does not have adequate hierarchical attributions at the time of organizing a work team, since companies usually do not know how to use it in the open chat mode, and do not establish the correct position of importance of the employee within it. This leads them to take incorrect attributions among the same interlocutors.

    Share ideas online in the easiest way.

    Date: Mar 06 2021
    Summary

    Previously, we had several difficulties to have extensive communication in social network mode, since no software had given us such satisfaction. Microsoft Yammer has given me a really complete and very satisfying experience, since I have been able to share opinions with all my work colleagues and we have also been able to generate group discussions in order to share ideas more consecutively. Microsoft Yammer allows us to create all types of publications, insert images or videos in the publications and also allows us to add comments to all the publications created. It is a social network that allows interaction without any type of limit, and this has helped us to generate better discussions, create controversies in our work area and share ideas online.

    Positive

    The Yammer social network is one of the most important things in our work area, due to the great effectiveness in the communication of both parts of our company. Microsoft Yammer serves as the primary social network for instantly sharing ideas, opinions, generating comments, and creating posts. What I like the most about Microsoft Yammer is the great notification system that it offers to all its users, a notification system that constantly sends notifications on the mobile phone associated with the Yammer account, and also sends notifications on the computer. Notifications are sent when new posts are created, when there are mentions and when a new general discussion is opened.

    Negative

    The only negative feature that has been noticed during my experience with this platform is the search system that Microsoft Yammer offers me. The search system is not satisfactory at all to search for words that have been written many times within the communication network. Sometimes I have looked for words that have been written many times in our social network, and I have not found all of the results, since there are many results, Yammer only shows the most important or the most outstanding, and hides the other results. I would like the search system to be more accurate, and show all the results, it would be a much better functionality for users.

    Dedicated social media app for enterprise

    Date: Aug 28 2020
    Summary

    Yammer is the perfect social media network for a corporation. It provides security, privacy as well as doesn't compromise on any features.

    Positive

    Yammer is probably the only dedicated social media app which doesn't cut any corners and is a full fledged experience. It rivals public social networks in most of the features. It also offers good integration with Outlook, SharePoint and other 365 apps. Recently it has got a complete redesign which makes it even better experience.

    Negative

    The user experience especially the interface was getting stale but recent redesign has made it a lot better.
