Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

Yammer has been criticized for enabling employees within a company to begin conducting business on their platform but then charging these same companies for taking ownership of the content or removing former employees from accessing internal corporate communication.

Microsoft Yammer was chosen my our management team over Workplace by Facebook due to its integration with Microsoft Office and Outlook which are also coming from Microsoft. Yammer integrates smoothly with all Microsoft softwares, including skype making creating meetings, meets up, update between management / office mates becomes easier than ever. File sharing is also enabled and integrated with Microsoft Sharepoint. If you organization is using lots of Microsoft software (which most companies do), then Yammer might be a good choice for you.

  • We integrate SharePoint and Yammer so in our workplace they are complimentary not competitive. and I personally prefer Facebooks platform and interface but Yammer is more suitable for corparate use.
For business Yammer offers closed groups and the ability to manager security from a corporate level and not just at the individual level.

SharePoint required a lot of system upgrades and migration exercises. Due to its size, we missed our opportunity to more effectively communicate and train for these changes. As a result, we selected Yammer to have a more robust enterprise network.

  • Chatter
Our team briefly used Salesforce.com's Chatter product before switching over to Yammer in 2012. While Chatter is essentially the same product as Yammer, it left much to be desired. Chatter's design was (and remains) clunky and difficult to navigate. Yammer is a simple, easy-to-use product that offers similar functionality as Salesforce's Chatter.

Microsoft Yammer far exceeded expectations when the company I work for switched from SharePoint. There was a limited learning curve, and a bit of training need, but generally the transition was smooth. SharePoint, while it proved to be useful company-wide, we have found that Microsoft Yammer creates more of a social network within departments. Microsoft Yammer provides a personal employee communication and information sharing.

The deciding factors were cost and a desire not to integrate completely with our next applicant tracking system. I had suggested complete integration, but external factors caused us to move away from Yammer (the company who made out applicant tracking system was bought out by another, and so migration to another system was essentially a requirement).

I wasn't involved in the selection of Yammer, but compared to Saba Social, Yammer offers overall best performance, deeper level of programmability and ease of searching information. On the converse, Yammer is less user-centric and more group-centric, so it is more challenging, compared to the Saba offering, to know what a specific person has been doing. However, the flow of posts and documents in a group feed is better structured in a Yammer group than it is in a Saba group.

blueKiwi : yammer does well in terms of user experience, initial ram, up, but less so in total feature set
Jive: since Yammer is SaaS, some customers will be unable to use yammer
Sharepoint: although not a direct competitor, Microsofts own solution has some overlap on Yammer as well - no doubt that the combination of Sharepoint and Yammer has some very interesting strategic beacons.
