Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Yammer
We using Yammer as a corporate version of internal social media. Employees are able to share articles of interest, celebrations, industry information and our various departments are able to share information relevant to their goal and accomplishments.
- Easy to use/user-friendly
- Integrates with SharePoint and allows us to feature our Yammer feed on our SharePoint homepage
- Would love to see new posts somehow highlighted or called out in the feed. At present they get buried in with posts that people like or comment on so I feel as though I must read through everything to ensure not missing a post, even if it's a post I've already read and someone new simply likes.
- I use the Yammer app and see Yammer on our company SharePoint homepage and without difficulty. But I tried to utilize the desktop notification and it is both cumbersome and I cannot identify a way to minimize it so it is always blocking a portion of my screen.
- The communication share has been a huge asset and has enable cross functional teams to stay on the same page and share valuable information. This has helped improve efficiencies and streamline communication.
- 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.
