A collaborative tool with a good noise cancellation feature
We use it to conduct meetings because it is private.  The microphone's noise cancellation and static feature that record a human's voice are some of the most valuable features. The application also provides notices to everyone at the same time. You can easily use it on your phone, so it's a very…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The microphone's noise cancellation and static feature that record a human's voice are some of the most valuable features."
"We use the solution for document sharing, video conferencing, instant messaging, and file sharing."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is that it provides integration with Teams."
"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."
"The tool allows us to post and keep track of company buzz and events without relying on email."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the communication events."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its integration with all the services of Office 365."
"Valuable features include the integration with Microsoft Office and the fact that it is in the cloud. Also, it's quite easy to use."
"The posting features are valuable."
 

Cons

"There were some additional features coming up, as they informed us through email. But we didn't get any update on them."
"The audio calling service needs to improve its quality."
"We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient."
"The solution must be able to stream by itself, without integration, the same way that you are able to do it on Facebook Live, Instagram, etc. Streaming must be embedded into it."
"The product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools."
"This solution would be improved if it was well integrated with other communication applications."
"Microsoft should work on templating and provide some built-in templates so that the changes can automatically roll out to all the configured communities."
"Yammer has very limited features."
"Although Microsoft is working on it, having a centralized network instead of creating multiple networks based on a domain would help businesses with multiple companies or child companies."
"The way you want to control the communication could be an issue. It depends on what kind of company you are. We are a public company, and there are some regulations that we need to comply with. Its ease of use can be an issue for a company because anybody can subscribe and use it. There are many competitors that are overlapping. Since Microsoft bought Yammer, it tends to be in the shadow. It is not put in the front from the service perspective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license grants you a subscription and costs about $120. I am not aware of additional costs."
"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"We get it as part of our Office 365 subscriptions, so I don't think we pay any additional cost for Yammer. It's included in the Office 365 subscriptions."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
"The pricing is not bad."

Yammer vs. SP Social in 2013
There are several discussions on SharePoint’s social strategy going on at the moment. I had some great discussions with my MVP mate Adis during Summit last week. Since #SPC12 almost every SharePoint addicted developer, it-pro, power user has reviewed Yammer. If you don’t know what Yammer is, here a…
