Works well for announcements and global communication

Having many teams in many countries on many continents this works well to keep your global community connected with up to the minute key or important information. Attachment and file management area could use some enhancements.

Mixed experience

Yammer is another channel, and the โ€˜anotherโ€™ is part of the issue. Working for a multinational we have mail, Skype, jabber, Webex teams (with two different ways to access it), MS Teams and tools we need to use with customers and supplies like the Google suite and meetings on Bluejeans, etc.
Yammer is just another way to share content. Itโ€™s another job.
The constant updates and emails about announcements posted in Yammer are annoying and mean important things are missed.
If you adopt it, get some expert advice on usage and adoption services and plan how your culture is expected to use it.

Azure SSO with MFA Broken in Mobile App

Authentication fails in the mobile application when using Azure SSO with MFA. Prompts for username/password in app, fails. Forgot password functionality bounces to auth provider which does not complete. Forced to use mobile browser. When attempting to launch mobile app from authenticated mobile browser context, placed through authentication flow in the mobile app again which fails as before. Circular failure when using Azure SSO with MFA.

Good for large topic-based community !

Stay up to date is clearly time consuming. In that case, we know where to find the latest news and can quickly have a look and click if we want to read more than only snaking the update. To recommend for external communication teams or marketing working with sales and customers !

Rather large organization - we swear by it

With all the generational gaps between employees we find this platform yammer to be the easiest form of communication worldwide. Simple to use and everyone is familiar with it.

Great communication Tool

Great communication tool, although I would like to stop seeing posts just because someone liked the post. For instance a post that is letโ€™s say 3 months old was just read by someone and that person clicks the like button, the post now reappears on top of the reading list. If there are new comments fine, but not a like. Also an emoji would be useful for some posts, and to post in more than one group would also be useful.

So far so good!

I was skeptical before today because I stay away from social media as much as I can in my personal life. After today, using it to connect real time in the same room with a large audience, it was inspiring and made the big smaller. I am seeing the meaningfulness of the connection with other leaders #AdventHealth&Yammer!

Collaboration tool for over a decade!

Iโ€™ve used it first in circa 2006 and recommended it for our business back then ... it has since improved a lot and has become to go to platform for cross-company collaboration.

Not always reliable and clunky to utilize for groups

In being suggested to provide a positive review by yammer I thought to include some issues that have not met expectations from a communication application.

Issues:
Not intuitive if you have setup a group within the app - hard to load up feed for group and not remembering preferences.

The app is slow to load frequently used contacts and will suggest ones never used before initially.

Instability with recent bugs with the app not able to load until conversations (messages) on a mobile.

Bug in not being able to load photos in a message to a group from a mobile.

Great App

Intuitive and easy. Yammer is working well for our organisation. We're international and multicultural and getting into Yamming. Just make sure your set your notifications to what you want. Recommended.
