"We can send out notifications and ask questions using Yammer."
"Workflows could be simplified."
"I would like to see the integration with Teams reinforced."
"It is a bit restrictive to develop in the cloud version. A lot of features are in the cloud now, and you have to develop on the outside. As far as the platform and the programming side of things are concerned, it is moving more towards configuration management rather than programming. When we are doing solutions, we are basically just configuring it to make solutions happen rather than actually using the Visual Studio code and developing from scratch in the cloud. It is almost like creating an app. You have created an app for your phone, but the app doesn't really sit on your phone. It sits somewhere on a server, and the database sits on another server. The app is just pulling and pushing information. The whole development has changed. We used to install things directly on the server and then run the application from the server. Now, it is more of a modular architecture."
"The areas around security, such as protection, need to be included."
"The GUI is outdated."
"The product could be improved by accommodating different technologies, particularly integration."
"Technical support could be improved. They are not fast enough, especially when we'll go deeper in the product itself. More complex issues make it very tough to find someone that can help you."
"The solution needs to have more flexibility. The classic version had more flexibility, however, the modern version has many more limitations."
"Yammer should be able to integrate with Microsoft products, such as Outlook."
"It should have integration with multiple third-party platforms."
"Sometimes, we lose access to the solution for unknown reasons."
"Yammer's UX and UI are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required"
"It looks slightly less clean on Chrome compared to Microsoft Edge, but it's a minor difference. There is room for improvement in user experience, like positions of elements."
"The interface is clunky and could be improved."
"If you are using other applications that are tough to integrate into the environment, that can cause limitations."
"We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient."
