9 /10

What differentiates Microsoft Viva Engage (Yammer) from other similar products?

Yammer has a reasonably user-friendly environment and is simple to configure and incorporate, integrates quickly and seamlessly with other Microsoft Office products, its interface is web-based, operation and performance are smooth.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Thanks to the simplicity of use and the ability to communicate and cooperate as a team, we can build distinct communities for specific groups, and we can easily send messages through posts. Community members can react to the post and exchange their ideas and thoughts, and work towards consensus; Yammer allows us to build and consolidate stronger relationships between each and every employee in the organization; I really like it because it is a central place to keep updated on relevant information. In addition, its user interface is very nice.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The mobile functionality needs to be improved as it is a bit clumsy to navigate. There are too many difficulties with content search, which irritates when some specific information is required.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Yammer is an excellent tool for communication and collaboration across all business units. It keeps everyone in the company informed of daily events and expands on what others generate. Employees can create groups for work and personal interests and keep recordings or photos of their surroundings while surfing the web. It is a unique messaging tool for the enterprise platform.
