"The most valuable feature is the ability to have remote meetings with customers and colleagues."
"File sharing is the most valuable feature."
"The corporate world widely accepts the solution for virtual meetings. Also, it has good availability."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration with SharePoint where we can access it with a single click from the platform. The solution is available in web and mobile versions so it gives a seamless experience when we move from one device to another. Especially when you're on the calls, you don't need to get out of one device, and then log in to another, and then join that meeting. You need to just switch."
"It’s very easy to set up. It doesn't take that long."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The solution's most valuable feature is connecting calls to concerned people anytime. It works much faster."
"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."
"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."
"The initial setup was simple and straightforward."
"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."
"The posting features are valuable."
"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."
"Yammer brings in the most relevant posts to the users."
"It's not as easy to augment your meetings as it is with competitors. For example, in Zoom, if I want to add attendees, I just grab the meeting link and post it to them. With Teams, how to do this is not as clear."
"We encountered occasional outages, which occurred a couple of times last year while using the product."
"The biggest issue is web content."
"There can be more customization and also the task management tools needs better tools for integration."
"Microsoft Teams should include the possibility of creating questionnaires or polls during webinars, whereby the people watching can answer the questionnaires in real time."
"Inability to call into meetings."
"The software could be optimized for Mac systems because sometimes it is slow and consumes a lot of memory."
"The solution's customer support should be faster and more responsive."
"Sometimes, we lose access to the solution for unknown reasons."
"We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient."
"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."
"If you are using other applications that are tough to integrate into the environment, that can cause limitations."
"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 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."
"I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer."
"Yammer should include more integrations."
