We performed a comparison between Liferay Digital Experience Platform and Yammer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Content Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We chose Liferay because it is open-source and that we can make any number of users apply, register into the system and use the system, as opposed to other solutions where the cost is based on user licenses. This is one of the most attractive features."
"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."
"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."
"It allows us to arrange and develop new ideas, then incorporate them into the portal. We can create a one stop information center, so people can access the information from one window."
"Manageability is very good and probably the most valuable part of a tool of this type. There is a little more of a learning curve than you have with a simple tool, but a business user can learn to manage the system as an administrator very easily."
"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."
"The solution is easy to install."
"Yammer is useful since it is a product you can easily integrate into our system since Microsoft supports it."
"We can send out notifications and ask questions using Yammer."
"I find it quite simple and intuitive. It's similar to using a more user-friendly interface for SharePoint. It integrates seamlessly with the browser, so you hardly notice you're using it."
"Yammer brings in the most relevant posts to the users."
"Yammer shows the post’s actions, comments, and how people react. We can quickly see what's going on."
"The user interface and the way we can share and search information are the most valuable. It is very easy to use."
"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."
"It could be improved in terms of adding filters to some of the rules. Therefore, you can retain how long a document would need to stay in an archive."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"The interface is clunky and could be improved."
"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's UX and UI are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required"
"This solution would be improved if it was well integrated with other communication applications."
"Yammer has very limited features."
"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."
"We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient."
"Sometimes, we lose access to the solution for unknown reasons."
