Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Slack and others in Enterprise Social Software."One notable feature is the "improvement training," which allows you to define groups, facilitate information sharing, enable participant rating, and establish rankings. This enables you to identify which participants are actively engaged and sharing information and which ones are less active."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"It's really easy to use the solution."
"Yammer shows the post’s actions, comments, and how people react. We can quickly see what's going on."
"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."
"The design of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"We can send out notifications and ask questions using Yammer."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface."
"The initial setup was simple and straightforward."
"I'm hopeful for more integrations with SAP JAM in the future."
"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."
"The solution must be able to stream by itself, without integration, the same way that you are able to do it on Facebook Live, Instagram, etc. Streaming must be embedded into it."
"The permissions are a little bit over-complicated."
"Microsoft should work on templating and provide some built-in templates so that the changes can automatically roll out to all the configured communities."
"This solution would be improved if it was well integrated with other communication applications."
"We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient."
"The interface is clunky and could be improved."
"The product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools."

From the limited experience I have with both, I prefer SAP Jam, as it’s configurable and has richer functionality. Yammer is fine for discussion but less for content.
The positioning of SAP Jam in the SAP portfolio looks also more sure and well thought, while the way Microsoft is integrating Sharepoint, Yammer and now LinkedIn triggers some questions.
If you are O365 shop, Yammer will be your best bet here I feel, using the full suite of productivity tools together really works for us and with Sharepoint templates bespoke designed using our companies design language system it really feels like ours. The tech is not the most important aspect. Getting the culture right to make use of any tools is key. I have struggled to see how to get value out of Slack in a large network environment.
Thanks Michiel. Would love to know what company you are but thanks anyway
Hi all,
We had the same dilemma. In short: If you want to integrate with SAP, Jam is the best option. We currently have two connections to JAM. One for HR and one for CRM. As always integration is the issue and when it comes to SAP, JAM is the better option and is also playing more and more of a dominant role in the SAP Roadmap.
Hope this helps.
