Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Yammer

We use Microsoft Yammer as an informal social network in which we share all those news and industry developments that are "kind of relevant" but not super important and/or urgent. There is also a fun component in it. Microsoft Yammer is used across the entire organization but there is an insular component in a sense that different teams have their own channels and create rooms for their own communication needs
  • Safe, secure, social network for employees to share relevant content
  • Declutter email
  • A dedicated avenue with well understood tools (likes, comments, etc)
  • One more feed to consume
  • Needs to reach critical mass to be useful
  • Only as good as its content
  • Reduction of email traffic
  • More sharing of content and conversations
Microsoft Yammer should shine in organizations where the disparity between the different teams is big (lots of different types of employees with different backgrounds and skillsets) because it lowers the barriers to achieve efficient team communication, and reduce email load. However, in more homogeneous teams other tools that are more modern (such as Slack or Asana)
