Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The microphone's noise cancellation and static feature that record a human's voice are some of the most valuable features."

More Avaya Spaces Pros →

"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface.""The most valuable feature of Yammer is its integration with all the services of Office 365.""Yammer is useful since it is a product you can easily integrate into our system since Microsoft supports it.""The design of the solution is its most valuable feature.""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 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.""Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."

Cons
"There were some additional features coming up, as they informed us through email. But we didn't get any update on them."

More Avaya Spaces Cons →

"Microsoft should work on templating and provide some built-in templates so that the changes can automatically roll out to all the configured communities.""The product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools.""Sometimes, we lose access to the solution for unknown reasons.""The interface is clunky and could be improved.""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.""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.""I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer.""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."

    There are several discussions on SharePoint’s social strategy going on at the moment. I had some great discussions with my MVP mate Adis during Summit last week. Since #SPC12 almost every SharePoint addicted developer, it-pro, power user has reviewed Yammer. If you don’t know what Yammer is, here a short introduction. Yammer is an enterprise social network, which allows you and your coworkers to communicate in a modern way as on Facebook. The huge difference between Facebook and Yammer is, Yammer is private. That means only people from your organization or the people you’ve invited to join your network can see and take part of the conversation which is going on in your Yammer network. With the common understanding of Yammer, you should be able to follow up the ongoing discussions. Adis wrote a great post, summarizing his thoughts on SharePoint and Yammer integration and the upcoming social future. I totally agree with Adis, there are a lot of things missing at the moment. But here my thoughts on Yammer vs. SPSocial Leak of integration In my eyes there is still too much missing, of course you can integrate yammer into your SharePoint, but key features are missing such as SSO, seamless look ‘n feel integration. Prebuild views on Yammer depending on the current SharePoint context or the mobile story. Microsoft shipped mobile Apps for SharePoint 2013 OnDemand and OnPrem. AFAIK are these apps currently available in preview, but each of them is based on SPSocial. SharePoint… Read more →
