Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Social Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the tool's ability to send voice mail. We can also search for conversations easily in Slack."
"It offers customization options for various applications, including integrations with Zoom for video calls and a wide range of other integration plugins."
"Slack helps us keep the conversation focused and avoid multiple threads that create more confusion. I would say that has been the biggest advantage for us."
"We use thread-based communication. So that if a new person comes to look into a problem for a particular task, they can easily go and look into the particular thread it is discussed in."
"Tasks and team huddles are the most valuable features of Slack."
"The solution is scalable."
"When we work with a platform like Slack, we can have one source without merging different document versions."
"The huddle feature that allows you to get on a call with a colleague is one of the best features of Slack."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface."
"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 user interface and the way we can share and search information are the most valuable. It is very easy to use."
"The solution was stable."
"The initial setup was simple and straightforward."
"It was a stable solution...It was a highly scalable solution considering it was used in a very big company."
"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."
"Slack tends to crash once a month."
"The mobile app needs improvement. It consistently misses notifications."
"The notifications on the phone are delayed."
"I would like to be able to do live streaming on Slack. Slack allows Slack huddle where you can do a group call, but it is not very well-designed. I'm not sure if it is going very well, but live streaming is one thing that I would definitely love to see. When you use Zoom, I like how you can run webinars. If we could do that through Slack, it would become an all-integrated platform. I would also like to be able to schedule meetings using Slack, similar to Zoom."
"I would like to see a special feature for multiple people to collaborate on a document, working on it at the same time."
"We could see improvement in Slack by having an integrated meeting tool. Currently, we rely on third-party integration tools like Zoom to schedule meetings. It would be much more convenient to schedule meetings directly within Slack without additional integrations. It needs to have calendar and CRM integrations as well."
"The UI could be a little bit better."
"Slack should add a feature to schedule meetings."
"This solution would be improved if it was well integrated with other communication applications."
"The solution's feature for sharing could be better."
"Yammer should include more integrations."
"Sometimes, we lose access to the solution for unknown reasons."
"Yammer's UX and UI are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required"
"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."
"Users need to be in the Acting Directory to exploit the features."
"Yammer should be able to integrate with Microsoft products, such as Outlook."
