- Yammer can help employees sustain a virtual feeling of proximity in organisations which are spread across large geographic locations.
- Staff with varying technical ability leads to a lack of confidence in using Yammer
- Yammer regularly changes the way things appear or slight changes in functions make how to guides difficult to maintain accuracy
