Find out in this report how the two Web Content Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We chose Liferay because it is open-source and that we can make any number of users apply, register into the system and use the system, as opposed to other solutions where the cost is based on user licenses. This is one of the most attractive features."
"The solution is easy to install."
"Manageability is very good and probably the most valuable part of a tool of this type. There is a little more of a learning curve than you have with a simple tool, but a business user can learn to manage the system as an administrator very easily."
"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."
"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."
"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."
"It allows us to arrange and develop new ideas, then incorporate them into the portal. We can create a one stop information center, so people can access the information from one window."
"The posting features are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the communication events."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"It was a stable solution...It was a highly scalable solution considering it was used in a very big company."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface."
"It's really easy to use the solution."
"The design of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"Yammer shows the post’s actions, comments, and how people react. We can quickly see what's going on."
"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."
"It could be improved in terms of adding filters to some of the rules. Therefore, you can retain how long a document would need to stay in an archive."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
"Microsoft should work on templating and provide some built-in templates so that the changes can automatically roll out to all the configured communities."
"Yammer should include more integrations."
"Sometimes, we lose access to the solution for unknown reasons."
"If you are using other applications that are tough to integrate into the environment, that can cause limitations."
"The way you want to control the communication could be an issue. It depends on what kind of company you are. We are a public company, and there are some regulations that we need to comply with. Its ease of use can be an issue for a company because anybody can subscribe and use it. There are many competitors that are overlapping. Since Microsoft bought Yammer, it tends to be in the shadow. It is not put in the front from the service perspective."
"I faced some issues with Yammer's mobile app when I shifted from Android to iPhone, and it got a little bit tricky to use it on an iPhone, which took away some of my time."
"Although Microsoft is working on it, having a centralized network instead of creating multiple networks based on a domain would help businesses with multiple companies or child companies."
"The product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools."
