Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Yammer

Microsoft Yammer is being used by a small startup company that I freelance for as a way for all of us to engage and communicate with an easy to follow user interface system that drastically reduces communication errors.
  • The ability to more easily share and connect with colleagues.
  • Being able to join select groups helps streamline communication.
  • It was very user-friendly and felt like I could easily translate skills attained from Facebook to understand Yammer.
  • Unfortunately, Yammer has been a bit of a distraction at work as it resembles the social media sites that have been blocked.
  • My inbox gets clogged with notifications.
  • Sometimes the group chats get off topic and it is hard to get back on track.
  • Yammer has helped us complete two major projects.
  • Yammer has better aided in communication with nomadic partners.
  • Yammer better allows my team to communicate in a didactic way.
  • Workmates
Microsoft Yammer just makes more sense for our team and has been easier to pick up for our team.
This is incredibly well suited if you are working on multiple projects with multiple triads or diads of people and have to have a conversation style record of what is happening. It would be less appropriate if you are not in a setting that requires and benefits from increased communication flow with colleagues.
