Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive.""We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not.""I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard.""It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG.""Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training.""It's easier as a supervisor to do your job more efficiently. You can have multiple things open at once to watch everything, being able to take one look at a page and see everything you need rather then having to flip through multiple programs. This is such a time saver. I get a lot more done in my day due to being able to keep my opened programs down to a minimum.""inContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not.""It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with."

More NICE CXone Pros →

"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its integration with all the services of Office 365.""It was a stable solution...It was a highly scalable solution considering it was used in a very big company.""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 user interface and the way we can share and search information are the most valuable. It is very easy to use.""The posting features are valuable.""Yammer brings in the most relevant posts to the users.""Yammer shows the post’s actions, comments, and how people react. We can quickly see what's going on.""The initial setup was simple and straightforward."

Cons
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out.""MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing.""I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while. For example, if I have a dashboard open that shows how many calls are in queue and how many are currently being handled by agents, sometimes a call that an agent is handling will get stuck on the dashboard after the agent ends the call and the dashboard will show that the call is still a live call. Our tech team has explained this to us as a ghost call. After some time (or maybe many screen refreshes) the call will go away like it has just ended.""It could improve the quality of calls.""I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific.""inContact should offer a way to send faxes.""Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available.""If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."

More NICE CXone 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.""It should have integration with multiple third-party platforms.""Yammer should include more integrations.""The permissions are a little bit over-complicated.""If you are using other applications that are tough to integrate into the environment, that can cause limitations.""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.""This solution would be improved if it was well integrated with other communication applications.""Yammer's UX and UI are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required"

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We had a custom setup that cost us some money."
  • More NICE CXone Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."
  • "The pricing is not bad."
  • "Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
  • "Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
  • "Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
  • "We get it as part of our Office 365 subscriptions, so I don't think we pay any additional cost for Yammer. It's included in the Office 365 subscriptions."
  • "I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."

    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 →
