Yammer vs Workplace from Meta Comparison

It has a strong sync with Microsoft office products especially to control & manage the data you have in onedrive & sharepoint. I believe that is the only tool you need during work. Good for those who have Microsoft family products in their offices

It can do much better than Meta and yet it is still far away from achieving it. It can be a whole universe.

A microsoft product, well researched and useful product in order to communicate at our workplace. Best one yet apart from other apps we've used so far

None as of now, found it really helpful since it has been introduced to us.

Best community building app for the workplace used this everyday.

Could have more stories and highlights for ease of navigation.

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.

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.

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 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 love that we aee able to post files, music and such for enjoyment.

I love everything about this app. From its simplicity to its functionality

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.

Yammer is great for easily sharing information when you don't want to use email

It is hard to get full adoption from the team on using it

Product created by one of the most famous companies on earth. It is widely used among smaller firms. Easy to get started.

Other products such as yammer might be more often used in other large organizations. So it would be good if facebook can expand their customer base.

Whatever you might think of Facebook, whatever I might think of Facebook (which is not much), this is good software, verging on great, for organizing and facilitating communication and collaboration within companies. The simply named Workplace by Facebook is exactly that: a virtual workplace complete with "locations" and tools for storing, finding, and sharing files; for socializing; for chatting;...

Well, it's made by Facebook, whom I do not trust, so that's a deal breaker for me. If you do trust Facebook, then Workplace is a solid choice for not just managing teams, but bringing together entire companies. There are lot of conventions and UI elements that are carried over from Facebook, and since I'm not the greatest fan of any of those, I'd rather not see them in a work app. And like any app associated with Facebook, this one is constantly nagging you, reminding you, alerting you, etc. sometimes multiple times even after you've dismissed the dialog. Ugh.
