Yammer Primary Use Case

PaulAnderson1 - PeerSpot reviewer
Group Data Architect at CapQuest Group Ltd

The company primarily uses it as a communications hub for our business. When you open a browser window, our homepage is a Yammer page with news items and communication from management. Some teams also set up pages within Yammer to introduce their team and its activities. So, effectively, it serves as a corporate communications hub.

Technical Director UK at TP-Link

We use this solution mainly for the distribution of product descriptions, etc. I've always been in the technical realm, so my role has been promoting within my organization. Yammer is a very good way to interact with a large number of similarly-minded individuals. I've added a large number of solution teams and SE teams to my Yammer network. 

This allows me to communicate in mass but also have the ability to comment, go through that, and interact with these people very quickly. I've used Yammer in the last two companies I've worked for.

Yammer is used as a social media platform for our organization. We used Yammer as a replacement for Workplace.com, a service provided by Facebook. It has almost the same features as Yammer. However, Yammer comes as a package with a Microsoft subscription.

Consultant at a consultancy with 201-500 employees

I used Yammer for crowdsourcing and group discussions. If we want to volunteer ourselves to be a part of certain groups that the company wants to discuss with, for, let's say, some volunteering activities or to share some complaints.
