Yammer vs Workplace from Meta Comparison

My favorite feature about this software is being able to connect with your colleagues in one workplace.

My least favorite feature about this software is not being able to integrate and connect all your social media accounts.

It's quick and easy to post content, links, and files relevant to the workplace or specific individuals.

It's too hard to find old posts and to set up notifications. Some of the features and options are hidden away and hence don't get used.

Yammer provides very easy communication among employees of a company. It reduces the number of emails and meetings because of easy communication. Pictures, files can be shared easily.

While so many innovations added to the software, its functionality is somehow complicated and basic trainings are important for new users.

Had great features to really collaborate with your team. Being able to receive updates real time as well as messaging others was a great feature.

Could not really identify what the niche was compared to other competitors. Had similar features and functions.

I like that the platform is limited to those I work with. It is super professional for our workplace.

I wish it could integrate with other social media platforms that are already out there. I wish there was an app for my Mac.

I liked the ease of use and functionality when educating others in the workplace on what can be accomplished via Yammer.

Yammer at times seems limited in file sharing and other high-level sharing, but we have other options within the suite to utilize for those purposes.

I love how easy it is to collaborate with coworkers via Yammer.

I don't have any negative things to say about this software.

It is really nice viewing posts from other employees that are related to work questions that people have but don't know who to direct them which usually yield many helpful responses. It is also a form of social media where people post humorous work related posts that help create a light and happy work environment.

I don't have anything negative to say about it, it is a nice addition to the workplace that is both helpful and creates a nice work environment.

This platform is almost like the social media platform we use in the workplace. It allows us to communicate better and share ideas and recognize those that do good deeds within our organization

After 1 year of using this platform, i am still trying to get used to the platform as there are things about the platform i still do not know or am aware of.

I work for a very large organization (500+ employees) and Yammer has greatly improved our ability to collaborate across divisions and networks. There is more transparency into what is happening in other parts of the organization.

It is not as customizable as I would like. It would be nice to have more ability to organize the left-hand groups display.

Yammer allows people with similar interests and/or work groups to interact in a business-friendly environment. It's fairly easy to use and integrated with Microsoft 365.

Yammer is a glorified Facebook. It makes it too easy to bring the Facebook culture into the workplace. It seems like a product that was made with Millenials in mind, but is geared more toward the opinionated, over-sharing crowd that utilizes Facebook on a daily basis.

I appreciate being able to connect with people within my organization in a more social and laid back forum. The platform is easy to use, and allows broadcasts to all members of a particular group, which will also send their work email a message. It has allowed for a space where people can still maintain a sense of community, even while working from home. Sharing photos or hosting contests, Yammer has become a key tool in our workplace community.

Not as customizable as some other social platforms, and posts seem to be limited in their ability to be unique looking. Most aspects, including reactions, are very cut and paste.

Yammer is good for organizational-wide social-media like announcements. Sometimes things aren't important enough for department/organizational-wide emails but are helpful enough for those who are interested enough to see it. Yammer is the perfect place to broadcast without spamming inboxes.

The UI looks really stale and really could use some modernization. It looks kind of depressing and old when you're on site.

It's not really for me so I don't have any pros. I guess it is good if you want yet another form of communication.

I find it really messy. My workplace introduced it as another form of communication as an alternative to email. But it's just one more thing to check, and I can't structure it like I do my inbox. With my inbox I can file things under certain categories, delete things that aren't useful.... with yammer everything is just there all together with no real coordination.

My company used Yammer to help employees collaborate better. Our older employees didn't make much use of the system but the potential of Yammer is great for engaged employees. The social nature of the product matches up well with our millennial workforce. Its essentially a business version of Facebook. Making work groups to streamline communication and give shout outs is easy and fun.

If you workforce isn't active on social media or appreciate those means of communication it might be a tough sell to get them on this system. Either way, implementing Yammer will take a consistent effort in campaigning for its usefulness if your workplace isn't used to this type of system. Yammer could also do better by allowing for more customization or branding by the employer to make it seem like an internal system. I have no complaints about the software itself.

Setup was pretty easy. Pretty fast response from other users. Ability to stay connected when working remotely.

Sometimes it's hard to differentiate from one user or another. Especially if there's a lot of responses from several other users.

Looks like Facebook and let us to share all the new info and upcoming activities to all the coworkers. We can post pictures and videos from inside and outside activities to different departments.

Almost everything I like from this software.

We use this tool as internal social network and it works very well for this purpose.

From user perspective I cannot tell any disadvantage.

We can share all the happenings or moments within the organization on yammer.

GUI is not good from my point of view...

I like the social media layout of the software. This allows for people to already have an idea on how to use the software before any proper training. Allows for a cross-company form of communication.

A lot of useless notifications. if you are not active on the software for sometime, Microsoft likes to send random notifications to rope you back into using the software.
