"We can send out notifications and ask questions using Yammer."
"Yammer allows collaboration anywhere, anytime, on any device."
"The initial setup was simple and straightforward."
"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."
"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 most valuable feature of Yammer is its integration with all the services of Office 365."
"The solution was stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the communication events."
 

Cons

"I thought that there should be the audio and the video call functionality as well."
"The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information."
"Impersonating a user or using a template user to send messages for development purposes would be very useful."
"The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information. Initially, I struggled to connect users and manage tokens for active and offline sessions, which caused frustration."
"A major issue was the requirement for a separate connection to Sendbird, resulting in a delay when initiating the chat."
"Their pricing is very high compared to competitors, which is a concern for us."
"More analytics tools could be integrated into Sendbird."
"At times, there are unexpected behaviors where the documentation suggests something different from how the SDK actually behaves, requiring us to create workarounds."
"I would rate the stability of Yammer as six out of ten."
"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."
"I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer."
"This solution would be improved if it was well integrated with other communication applications."
"We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient."
"It looks slightly less clean on Chrome compared to Microsoft Edge, but it's a minor difference. There is room for improvement in user experience, like positions of elements."
"The product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools."
"Sometimes, we lose access to the solution for unknown reasons."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a starter plan for $399 per month, and a pro plan for $799 dollars."
"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
"The pricing is not bad."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."
"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."
