Could be Better
I enjoy using the app but ever so often it directs me to sign in using my work email which isn’t how I am set up in the system. As a retiree, my access is limited and I no longer have a work email, so it becomes frustrating to find where you would actually sign in if you are using a personal email. No apparent instructions. A fix would improve my rating.

Good, but needs some work
Mainly happy with the app, but have a few issues with the unread post counter - often gets stuck and I keep seeing the same posts many times!
Nice but it adds more to our full plate
It’s nice to hear stories from peers across the company, but when it becomes an expectation, it is a burden. We have to take more of our personal time to do “social” stuff for work. Also, why are there so many reminders about the same thing? I get 4-5 reminder messages that someone liked my post.
Yammer tips the work-life balance too much toward work.

Yammer is a Facebook replacement
Though it’s just for homework, everybody tries to find an excuse to go on our Yammer page, whether it’s a daily quote or a question about sport.
Yammer is addictively helpful and a great addition for your school.

Awesome app just one bug
This is an amazing app, its easy to navigate and it’s great for schools. Just one bug, when I follow people it does show them in my profile, i dont know if that’s because I’m following too many people, I’m following 598. Otherwise its a great app.
Hard to locate my group’s files
I was asked to use Yammer as part of a smaller group within a national organization. The directors of my group posted many files for us, and “pinned” some of them for easier access. But as far as I can tell, when I access my group through the Yammer app, I cannot access the list of files that our directors have posted and pinned there.
Instead, I have to exit the group and use the search function, which has two problems: 1) If I do not know the name of the document I am looking for, I am pretty much out of luck; and 2) the app searches not within my smaller group but within the whole national organization to which my group belongs. So if I search for something like “schedule,” I have to sift through every single schedule document that has ever been posted in the organization. This is a significant hassle, and has discouraged members of my group from reviewing required materials because it is simply too difficult to find them.

Rate of improvement is glacial
This product seems to go years at a time with no obvious improvements. The lousy search engine is my biggest complaint. The Replies not being threaded like on Facebook is my next biggest complaint.
Big business
Wouldn’t recommend for small businesses as it is too branched out
More member management features for Community Managers, please!
The app is user friendly and useful but as a Community Manager I find it frustrating that I can’t identify new members that are joining the group to welcome and onboard them. This could be easily solved with an announcement to group managers when someone joins and the possibility to download the list of members with their contacto info and date joined.

Comparison
Compared to iMessanger this app is difficult to follow a track of messages. The type for the content is small. The other information type is larger and easier to differentiate. Making it a chore to search for the important content. FBs messenger is only slightly better than Yammer. Down loading pix on Yammer on our desktop is cumbersome and limited.
