Yammer tends more likely towards any of the social media platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn with its ease to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yammer?

There are too many update posts, too many posts of the same kind - it gets difficult to identify where we would've commented or liked a specific post.

What do you like best about Yammer?

I like that Yammer, despite being a business application, is part of the work that is not so official and simultaneously fulfills its role in the company. You can create various channels on various topics so that the posted content reaches only interested recipients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yammer?

In my case, I don't have the option to turn off email notifications. It is set as a default parameter and cannot be changed. I receive 3-4 emails daily, but I would check that anyway in Yammer, so I consider those messages unnecessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yammer solving and how is that benefiting you?

In large companies connecting employees worldwide, communication is a very important factor in running a business. Yammer perfectly fulfills the role of a communication tube where employees can communicate in any way. You can use Yammer as a technical newsgroup or platform for scheduling meetings after work. A great social networking site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yammer?

I love how Yammer encourages collaboration and connection within our organization. It's a great tool for fostering collaboration between departments, allowing employees to easily share ideas and collaborate on projects more efficiently than traditional methods like email or face-to-face conversations. The customizable notification system helps organize relevant messages in a simple way so that everyone gets exactly the information they need, when they need it - providing real value at every level, from the individual employee to the C-suite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yammer?

I'm particularly frustrated that not all of my colleagues in the office have Yammer accounts. While it's true that our national network is larger than just this one location, I wish everyone here would take advantage of the platform to stay informed and connected with other teams within our network. Other than that, I have no current issues with Yammer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yammer?

We use Yammer to update the students on the institution's recent academic and non-academic activities. The interface is so easy to upload content and share it with people. One good feature is the customization to open for a particular section of people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yammer?

What do you like best about Yammer?

One of the best social media platforms for colleagues who are working in companies. In Yammer, anyone can easily form a group or community where they can easily share ideas. All content related to your work or career across organizations may be posted separately by anyone. Yammer's user interface is very remarkable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yammer?

until now I didn't have any major issues while using yammer. however, it doesn't give adequate recommendations about collages that use yammer, and the home screen has jumbled information that you can't filter by interest, but overall it's a fantastic application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yammer solving and how is that benefiting you?

There isn't a social networking platform like Yammer for cooperative colleagues that allows for thought-sharing. Everyone inside the organization can easily create announcements using this platform. Everyone can communicate with staff members from various departments. Anybody can use Yammer to share their memories with the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yammer?

I enjoy the ability to create new communities on topics that range from specific office locations or hobbies, to specialized conversations about personal journeys. The fact that those who don't wish to participate can opt out of these discussion adds a layer of safety I appreciate; as well as being able email notifications anytime there is new information posted in any community they choose! Yammer truly provides an environment suitable for speaking more casually and personally with coworkers without feeling exposed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yammer?

I strongly disagree with the concept of enterprise social media like Yammer. I find that nobody is interested in using it, which further leads to a lack of engagement or interest when seeing what others post. Additionally, this platform was created for an issue that never should have been solved in the first place and automated emails are often used as being one’s only option so its use becomes redundant at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yammer solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am having difficulty finding a comprehensive list of Yammer communities, which could enable new hires to make an informed decision about what division to join at their corporation. While usage appears limited, this may be due to the fact that I work for such a large organization and would not recognize any users even if there were more using it.
