Salesforce Chatter is a collaboration platform with integration into the business process and the ability to conduct actions like approving expense reports and creating support cases from the activity feed itself. Other key features include a mobile application and document management functionality.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/JL/5u/V54STLL8AU3S.PNGSalesforceExcellent tool for a growing business2019-04-30T13:53:31.468ZWe use Chatter to solve a number of problems in our department. One of the main purposes it has is to distribute the correct information to a wider team and have an ongoing conversation around points that are relevant to a specific topic for all to see. This can help reduce e-mail clutter and also provide a reference going forward. This is not only done with news articles relating to the company, but also major regulatory changes, procedural changes and general conversation.,Chatter provides us with a live internal conversation for all to see without the noise that other mediums have i.e. e-mail.
One of the main features that really works well is the 'Groups' that you can join. We have multiple groups set up to not only distribute procedural changes and communicate news etc, but also have conversations around upcoming tasks in the months ahead.
Chatter works really well in instances where we need to look over historical conversations that have been had and the sentiment of those conversations with our shareholders, often using hashtags.,Possibly could go with a change of layout, a slight redesign to make it look and feel more user friendly. It's not terrible but for someone who hasn't used Twitter before, they may find it a bit hard to navigate.
Possibly to have certain people prioritized within a company's Chatter feed. So if the CEO has posted something, this appears first as a priority post for all to see, and then can be sent further down your feed once read.
Could possibly do with a feature to create an incentive for people to contribute more. There's still a lot of conversations that happens outside of Chatter that would be better suited for Chatter. There is an 'Influencer' feature but there is little known about this and has minimal meaning or purpose to most people.,8,This has had a very positive impact when it comes to verifying if proper communication has been had among teams. This helps us know when and what people have been informed of, which gives us the opportunity to regularly review our communication styles.
This has had a very positive impact when trying to find particular individuals in a very large company, and without any barriers.
This also provides a 'get networking' tool for new and existing individuals to the company, helping people gain influence and awareness among their stakeholders.,Microsoft Yammer,Skype for Business (formerly Lync), Genesys PureCloudGlen TyleeChatter at a glance2019-08-17T19:14:24.334ZSales uses it as a tool to communicate from sales rep to manager and vice versa. For example, if there is something I want my manager to take a look at, they tag me on Chatter. I am instantly notified in my email, and I can go directly to the account. I like that it documents every communication back and forth, so there is a running history. We also use it to move accounts around, i.e, "take this out of my name, move to another rep, new rep this is now in your name," and avoids Slack messages that could get lost in the shuffle. Highly recommend.,Time Stamps: clear history of communication.
Instant notification: the relative person is aware right away that an account needs attention.,Perhaps after adding tags or action items, the rep can check them off so the received knows how important the notification is. I.E, "new account in your name, needs immediate attention, etc.",10,Helps us keep track of accounts coming in and out, where to focus our sales energy.,9,10,Gong.io, Outreach, LeadIQMeredith ChandlerConsolidated information2019-06-05T13:34:57.535ZChatter is utilized to provide a consolidated report and the reps past activity.

Sends you an email so it is easy to view the report.
Provides links to the accounts that you worked so you can easily pick up where you left off.,There should be a way to opt out of the email so they don't clog your inbox.
Email should provide more detail. It just says "Created a task" but doesn't say the name of the account.
Should be a way to edit and filter the information that Chatter sends you. A more customized experience.,10,There is less of a change of hands in accounts which avoids accounts slipping through the cracks.
The mail with the Chatter report isn't customized so sometimes seeing which account it is referring to can be time-consuming.

I work on a marketing process team and we use Chatter nearly every day while navigating Salesforce for other team-related needs. One of the biggest benefits of Chatter is the ability to send/share documents between diverse teams, all while housed within the greater Salesforce platform. The organization that I work for is rather large, with many locations, and Chatter helps bring individuals together across great divides. Personally, I appreciate all-encompassing platforms that are able to solve large organization business needs. Chatter helps round out the analytical tool of Salesforce and adds an effective communication function worth integrating into day-to-day communication.,Chatter integrates the complex analytical reporting of Salesforce and gives users the ability to effectively communicate across diverse teams.
Chatter is extremely user-friendly and offers standard social features, such as joining groups and following specific individuals.
File sharing is extremely efficient, and the search functionality for files works incredibly well!,Chatter can sometimes feel almost too much like a social networking site.
While the chat feature is welcome within the Salesforce ecosystem, traditional email has had better response rates.
The feed can push important announcements down prior to being seen.,8,Chatter has helped our varying admin areas communicate more effectively with Sales teams throughout the life-cycle of an account.
Chatter helps to keep the necessary documents within the Salesforce platform. Furthermore, it is easy enough to transfer documents to other areas on the platform.

Layout of Chatter in Salesforce Lightning can be better improved.
There are big differences between Chatter in Lightning vs Classic and a new user might not understand how to navigate the interface.
External users can't @mention internal users. This would be very helpful.
CSS in community feed needs a designer to have it look good. It should look good right out of the box.
Being able to post videos would also be helpful.,8,Chatter service comes with our enterprise CRM so it has been 100% ROI.

This is widely used across the sales organization, and our teams have put a high emphasis on using it to communicate on pipeline and opportunities. Chatter is great as our managers are easily able to message us and add context to questions they have when referencing an opportunity in Salesforce. This keeps a log of conversations based on an opportunity rather than losing it in G-chat.,Keeps conversations organized and relevant.
Allows management a view into conversations around multiple opportunities with multiple reps.
Logs everything in Salesforce for reference later down the road, rather than losing the conversation in G-chat.,It seems a bit out-dated and is not very user-friendly.
It often gets forgotten as G-chat is easier to use.

It's used to help track and note any questions or concerns across the sales and delivery teams along the sales and delivery process. If there's a question related to a specific opportunity, it'll generally be asked through Chatter.,Easy to tag teammates
Sends you email notifications when you've been chattered
Easy to link messages to one account or opportunity,No one seems to know how best to tag people - Do you have to keep doing it within a thread, or does it need to be done just once?
It's tough to keep track of all chatter messages.
The general UI for writing out a message is a little tough. Hitting enter might send the message, or create a new line. It isn't very consistent.,6,It's a good service to publicly note account changes, steps in the sales process, and documentation.

Chatter is a great way to share, communicate internally, and collaborate in real time.

We have Chatter enabled on virtually all of our SFDC objects and we use Chatter to collaborate directly on the records being discussed. Having this discussion directly in the tool instead of emailing back and forth is a real boost to productivity since it's attached to the record, and ensures that the conversation is preserved for later reference.
In addition to collaborating on standard CRM records, e.g., a sales team discussing an opportunity, I am involved in Salesforce.com enhancements and collaborate with them on support tickets and user stories by using Chatter on these records.,The ability to embed the Chatter feed on any Salesforce.com record. Having that context directly on the record in question is key. I've had a scenario of collaborating on the same records before and after implementing Chatter and after implementation my job became much easier.
Replying directly to the email notification about a Chatter message posts the reply directly to Chatter. This is very useful for a quick response while doing something else, without having to login to Salesforce.com. This is especially useful while on a smartphone.
Interface is very simple and easy to use. On any record where Chatter is supported, just expand the feed, @mention anybody who needs to be included, and write the message.
Ability to follow a record even if you're not directly included in a conversation, in order to see any updates. This is especially useful if you need to see when a record is updated and you have automatic updates set to post to Chatter.,My only complaints with Chatter have been solved. I used to be annoyed that attaching files required clicking an "attach" button after browsing and selecting. I was also annoyed that there was no rich text formatting (e.g., bolding, underlining, and other features useful in a communication tool) but those have been solved in product updates. I really have no complaints, because the product is simple and does the job well.,10,The ROI is hard to quantify but compared to how we in my company would traditionally collaborate on SFDC records, via email, this takes about a third of the time, and a tenth of the time if it's put in terms of finding old conversations by digging through emails, vs. finding the SFDC record and searching the chatter feed.,,SmartsheetVerified UserImproved communication for Salesforce users2017-12-14T18:10:30.636ZWe use it for some of our projects and also to help clients that use Chatter extensively. Chatter is typically used by our clients to discuss the status of records among team members. For example, if there are interesting updates about a customer, a contact, or an opportunity.
So some typical examples are:
Company XYZ: I visited the client in December 2017. They are growing at a fast pace and are likely to be acquired by a Fortune 500 company
Contact Jane Smith: Jane reports to the CEO and is a critical decision maker for our product.
Opportunity Sale of machinery: This could be a quick win for us. Although this is a small Opportunity in terms of revenue, long-term strategic business is high.,Communication between team members

Everyone has access - but not everyone uses it with any consistency. We use it as a way to document discussions, tag folks, ask for more info, and share kudos/client feedback org-wide. It's especially helpful to document change discussions/processes for internal software usage.,You can tag people just like you would on social media (with the @ symbol).

At the very least, every user here has a basic Chatter license, several with Chatter Plus and approximately 220 with full Salesforce licenses. Naturally, it is there to address the issue of company wide collaboration and communications.,Integrated into your line of business tool. It is directly where you are doing your job.
It is fun and casual.
It has a very low technology barrier to use. Plus the iOS app is really useful.
It subtly blends social network with business automation and business function. Everybody knows how to interact with social networks and this translates the business layer into an easy to digest and interactive fashion.,Visualforce helps you design more complex custom actions using Chatter, however Visualforce is often a technical level above the basic administrators' capabilities. It needs a declarative GUI to help you make complex actions.
A lot of changes that have come with Lightning are now not available to Classic Salesforce users. If you're a new buyer, this isn't an issue. If you are not, you really need to look at going Lightning now.,9,Middling. The business has a habit of throwing technology at problems rather than looking at what it already has. Chatter could be far better utilised than it is right now.
There are some elements of process automation that is subtly making the lives of users better, I'm happy about this.
Gradually, users are adopting thanks, which is driving a much better atmosphere and spirit in the company.,Microsoft Yammer,Salesforce CPQ (formerly SteelBrick), OneNote, JIRA Service Desk, Pardot, Conga Composer, Adobe eSign services, Satmetrix, GeopointeSimon WhightGreat product to share news!2017-12-07T18:27:11.464ZWe use it to let everyone know when jobs are sold (who the client is, what type of job it is and sometimes when it will start). We also use it to spread any company news or things that need to be spread to everyone (news of someone's surgery going well for example). We also use it to share funny stories, pictures, new articles, work related articles, blog posts via link, etc. It is something everyone uses on a daily basis.,Allows people to comment or like your post

Everyone within my organization (~40) has an account. It allows staff all over the country to connect and create threads in which multiple people can participate. This is particularly helpful when over 50% of our staff are remote. It also seamlessly connects with SalesForce enterprise to allow us to chat more specifically about SalesForce apps and issues.,I like how easy to it is to post onto Chatter.
I also like that your organization can have many different chatter groups that you can follow.
I can bookmark or mute certain threads.
You can also take a poll within a thread as well as upload all kinds of files.,I dislike that you can't link multiple photos onto a chatter post. In my experience, if you'd like to include multiple photos, you can post one at the start of the thread and then need to write a comment with a photo in each comment. It's pretty annoying.
We have employees at different levels in our company. So we have our national staff and our state coordinators. Our state coordinators have a different type of SalesForce than national employees so they have a different portal (not sure if I'm describing this accurately). But essentially this format does not allow the two groups of users to communicate in the same Chatter groups. (because it has to be in this format from what I understand because of permissions) This is also pretty annoying.,8,Because we already have SalesForce, Chatter was a no-brainer. It's streamlined and entirely integrated into SalesForce enterprise, which is something my organization uses every day.,,IBM SPSS, SurveyMonkey, ArcGISVerified UserCommunicate Across Your Company With Chatter2017-12-07T21:00:23.612ZIn our organization, Chatter is used as a resource for sharing information across the whole organization. Various Chatter groups have been set up to cover a variety of groups, and there are even a few that are "just for fun" such as one for Walking Dead fans or the "Daily Dose of Awesome" group that posts interesting or humorous things on a daily basis. It helps communicate known issues, discuss upcoming changes, share information and connect large groups of people across the country.,Chatter is very easy to use, especially if one is already familiar with social media. It works very much in the same way as Facebook as far as how posts are displayed and comments can be added.
Groups can be public or private, and ownership can easily be edited as needed. Those added to a group can leave easily if they feel the information does not pertain to them.
I enjoy a regular e-mail digest of what I may have missed in Chatter. I also like the e-mail notifications I get when someone tags me by name in a post or comment.,When sharing a photo, it gives only a thumbnail, and if there are a series of photos (for instance, to share memories of a recent company-wide event) you have to click on each individual one to view it. It's tedious and could definitely be done better.
The Desktop Chatter application went away, and I found it really helpful so that I didn't have to log in to Chatter on Salesforce to check and see if anything new had been posted - it just came up in a feed on a separate little program. I miss that feature.,8,I honestly can't speak to ROI in numbers because it's not part of my role to know such things.
Chatter has allowed us to communicate effectively across campuses on shared topics. For example, some of our campuses are being relocated, and team members in those areas have been able to ask questions and get feedback on the areas they are planning to move to.
Chatter has also helped boost morale, as we regularly use it to celebrate and share sales successes, birthdays, customers that have agreed to become references, etc. as well as share across campuses some fun things like Customer Service Week activities.,Box and Skype for Business,Microsoft Office 365, Prime Suite EHRVerified UserOld lion still does tricks2017-12-07T18:18:29.865ZWe use Chatter as a part of our Salesforce CRM platform.

Quick and easy.,,Slack, HipChat, Mavenlink, JIRA Software, Adobe PhotoshopVerified UserChatter is a Small, Powerful Player Competing Against Industry Whales2016-05-06T21:51:40.726ZOur company, Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU), comprises several different businesses. Several of these businesses (e.g. investment management, retirement, group insurance) have outbound and inbound sales teams that record their client interactions in Salesforce. To facilitate sales, they use Chatter to share information, collaborate on documents, ask questions from subject matter experts, and disseminate career development information (all internal). Roughly half the businesses are using Salesforce and Chatter, but the remainder are using third party platforms like Oracle, Jive, and SharePoint. The main challenges that are being tackled with Chatter include siloism, lack of coordination on major initiatives, lack of communication on cross-department and cross-business initiatives, oversaturation of e-mails and phone calls, and latency in gathering feedback and comments.,The Chatter UI is very clean and intuitive. First off, top masthead is clearly branded without being too cluttered. The search form is very easy to find and the left menu has clear nomenclature so finding functionality is not difficult.
The Chatter types are very clear - Feed, People, Groups, Files, Topics. These content types are almost always present in the most widely used platforms so even users new to Chatter will not find it difficult to use.
In Files, the preview functionality is very useful as it helps users decide whether or not this is the document they need. Also, sharing is very easy via the drop-down arrow, but a sharing icon would have been more intuitive.
The Groups functionality is outstanding because it allows for different departments (e.g. marketing, sales, support, research) to collaborate on client-facing work. This is the most prevalent use case and an indispensable business requirement in any platform we select for enterprise deployment. The incorporation of polling and forum (questions) is also conducive to conversation.
The private messaging functionality is very useful because it allows for conversations to be contained in a community and not reside in a separate space like e-mail. This functionality is missing from platforms like IBM Connections.,Groups does not have the private messaging functionality. Since most collaboration takes place in Groups, private messaging would allow for relevant conversations to be contained and not reside separately.
On a Group index page, there are two boxes for Information and Description. These content types seem redundant. You could replace both with a content type called About the Group. There could also be another box listing the Owners for quick reference.
On the main index page, the newsfeed has the same look and feel of most social platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Jive, IBM Connections, SharePoint. There could be an alternate display of tiles that shows People you interact with most frequently, Files you access most often, most recent Topics, etc. The display could be something like Delve in Microsoft Office 365.
On the main index page in the right rail, it would be useful to have the ability to incorporate RSS feeds to gather outside content. Many departments heavily leverage RSS feeds to compile competitive intelligence and cultivate general awareness.
For user profiles, can we combine Feed and Overview into one consolidated view? It would save users a click to find relevant information about the person. Also, the Contact module should also have the person's phone number for convenience.
The Files feature does not allow for real-time, concurrent document editing. You have to download the document, make your edits, save, and then upload a new version, which only allows for one editor at a time.,10,Chatter has reduced turnaround time on responding to questions. For example, a question directed at one person could be badly timed (person is away or out of the office) and inappropriately targeted (person is not SME). Posting questions in a Group helps alleviate these blockers.
Chatter has helped connect people within the same department who did not know each other previously. Groups have helped to build teamwork and camaraderie through shared tasks and outputs.
Chatter has helped to eliminate the nightmare of keeping track of file versions through e-mail. We can now see all versions and know what has changed in one click.
Chatter has helped us to share files externally with vendors, outside counsel, and other relevant stakeholders.,IBM Connections, MS SharePoint and Microsoft Yammer,MS SharePoint, IBM Connections, Jive Engage, Microsoft Yammer, Adobe Acrobat DC, Snagit, PostgreSQL, WebEx Meetings,1000,3,Marketing team collaborating within a Group to produce client-facing materials.

It is meeting our business needs very well as it allows us to find all communications on an account in one place in Salesforce so we don't have to sift through multiple emails.
