Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Yammer

Microsoft Yammer is a good platform, however I find it difficult to navigate through all of the areas in it. Creating some channels are easy, but keeping information pinned to the top of your thread can be a challenge. We currently use Microsoft Yammer to communicate ideas and threads for our apparel company.
  • Microsoft Yammer allows us to spread communication with many people all at the same time.
  • Microsoft Yammer also allows us to look up old information that was shared previously.
  • Adding images to threads is very simple.
  • Adding an option to allow pinning of threads to the top of the feed easily would be an improvement.
  • Managing users and removing yourself from a group can be improved.
  • The basic layout of Yammer can sometimes give a cluttered feel.
  • Microsoft Yammer has allowed us to reduce the amount of time we spend communicating information across multiple groups.
  • Microsoft Yammer has allowed us to store image files that were previously taking up room on our servers.
  • Microsoft Yammer has allowed us to reduce the amount of time it takes to manage Outlook groups and distribution lists.
We currently use Salesforce which is much more robust in sharing knowledge base information. We also currently use teams' SharePoint and OneDrive to store information and files.
Microsoft Yammer works well for small groups of four to five groups where information needs to be shared and can be recalled later on. It offers a good platform for adding images and allowing users to comment on specific threads.
