Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Yammer is used at organization level. We use this tool to socialize, collaborate, celebrate, share personal/company event with people in other offices. It's widely accepted and used within our organization that it almost feels like a Facebook page for Elekta. I always start my day with reading the Yammer page as people across company share lots of content around the globe.

Pros and Cons

It provides access to private content
It allows posting of media and content. Whoever has access to the posted content can like, share and comment on the post.

Yammer could have a more fancy UI.

Likelihood to Recommend

This tool works perfectly well for collaboration within company who has distributed offices and remote employees. Updates can be posted to right groups and the subscribed employees get update. Employee can subscribe to different group based on their interest to get updates particularly for that a particular area. Recently used Yammer to co-ordinate and organize a company wide event so that all employees will have same experience and it really turned out to be great success.
