Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Slack and others in Enterprise Social Software."One notable feature is the "improvement training," which allows you to define groups, facilitate information sharing, enable participant rating, and establish rankings. This enables you to identify which participants are actively engaged and sharing information and which ones are less active."
"Yammer brings in the most relevant posts to the users."
"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."
"It's really easy to use the solution."
"The initial setup was simple and straightforward."
"Yammer shows the post’s actions, comments, and how people react. We can quickly see what's going on."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface."
"The integration with Teams is the biggest value for us. In fact, it has only become more valuable now that it has integration with Teams. Teams allows you to stream, so that's good."
"We can send out notifications and ask questions using Yammer."
"I'm hopeful for more integrations with SAP JAM in the future."
"We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient."
"The product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools."

"Yammer has very limited features."
"Users need to be in the Acting Directory to exploit the features."
"The solution's feature for sharing could be better."
"I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer."
"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."

We monitor all Enterprise Social Software reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
From the limited experience I have with both, I prefer SAP Jam, as it’s configurable and has richer functionality. Yammer is fine for discussion but less for content.
The positioning of SAP Jam in the SAP portfolio looks also more sure and well thought, while the way Microsoft is integrating Sharepoint, Yammer and now LinkedIn triggers some questions.
If you are O365 shop, Yammer will be your best bet here I feel, using the full suite of productivity tools together really works for us and with Sharepoint templates bespoke designed using our companies design language system it really feels like ours. The tech is not the most important aspect. Getting the culture right to make use of any tools is key. I have struggled to see how to get value out of Slack in a large network environment.
Thanks Michiel. Would love to know what company you are but thanks anyway
Hi all,
We had the same dilemma. In short: If you want to integrate with SAP, Jam is the best option. We currently have two connections to JAM. One for HR and one for CRM. As always integration is the issue and when it comes to SAP, JAM is the better option and is also playing more and more of a dominant role in the SAP Roadmap.
Hope this helps.
