CRITICAL

“Failed attempt at creating social media engagement at workplace”

1.0
Sep 15, 2021
Overall, I don't recommend to use this product. It is neither use friendly not the interface and options are appealing. It's just a tick-box for companies to say we have the feature but in my tenure at organization, I never saw anyone actively using and sharing content.

Yammer Likes & Dislikes

Like

It's very easy to set up and integrate within a well established environment. From an admin side, it's very easy to control and use, and even easier for end users to use. It's clear, and has a fresh but customisable look.

Like

The product was used as social media at workplace where you can share your achievements and accolades received and get visibility.

Like

Connecting employees is easy. It ensures safe communication. Sharing information with teams is easy.

Dislike

It's very good, and very easy to use. I have no real dislikes with it as it works as you'd expect it to work.

Dislike

It is not user friendly. Logging in to yammer account took 1-2 minute so time using secure office servers which made it unpopular. Coworkers didn't prefer to use as it consumes time in logging in and not user-friendly in posting content.

Dislike

Not one problem to mention about Yammer.
