Yammer Review
A fine platform for workplace and organizational collaboration
Valuable Features:
I reviewed Yammer as a judge for the 2012 SIIA CODIE Awards. Yammer was an outstanding performer in the collaborative platform category. I was given a full video demonstration of the software, and was very impressed with the following pros: *Dashboard design with full multiple application capability. * The number of outside applications that can be embedded into or integrated with Yammer. *The speed of the Yammer platform, which delivered information via multiple channels and sources *The fact that there is a mobile iOS application for Yammer. * A free version of Yammer is available to individual users who sign up *
Room for Improvement:
The only con was that it did not share the same transition speed between apps as SAP StreamWork, another platform that I reviewed in the CODIE Awards collaborative category
**Disclosure: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Access to a Yammer network is determined by a user's Internet domain, so only those with appropriate email addresses may join their respective networks.

When a company pays for Yammer, multiple email domains can be given access to the network.

Highlights
The most valuable feature of this solution is the communication events.
The design of the solution is its most valuable feature.
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.
It's really easy to use the solution.
The initial setup was simple and straightforward.
The user interface and the way we can share and search information are the most valuable. It is very easy to use.
