President of Operations for Montreal Area at Transitions service conseil
Has an excellent Database Management System and high level of services, performance, and availability
We will need to implement prototypes in our data warehouse. We will have to implement and to support some different types of files like video, audio, pictures, and non-structured data. So we are working on that. We would like better integration for data security. We will have many partners, eight or nine external partners. We will still use our system to upgrade our warehouse. But with many partners, the data warehouse will not be unique. It will be a distributed data platform. So we would need and we are looking for many services to better manage the integrity and the use of all of the data. We are receiving all these data from trains and trucks that are working on the highways and on the roads. We will have to implement some facilities to adequately use all this data at a really high volume coming from IoT. So we are not choosing that and we will have to implement some services. Right now, we don't have any monitoring. We do have major density and access control, but when a user is in our environment, we do not have the services to really measure what he is doing. I will have to report in three months on the project and its evolution. I don't have the financials and the best practices regarding the financial models with costs and benefits for a major data platform with many partners. We will know what it will cost, but we will have to define some benefits because when I will be at the treasury board asking for a major project, they will ask me what would the benefits from that will be. I'm doing research into best practices. I know that the U.S. government has a platform like the one we want to build. It is a bigger one, from what I understand. I think that the state of California and maybe the state of New York has the type of platform we want to put in place. I would like to present more than just an article. I would like to have a reference model, to really be on target by showing the benefits that are possible down the road.

Creates user groups and streamlines communication
I think we should have some improvements in Yammer, similar to what we have in Facebook and others, where we can have targeted communications, so that we can filter some communications to go to a specific subset of that group, not to everybody. We would love to have some AI technologies included in Yammer, but I do not have a specific use case in mind right now.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution has automated protection from downtime. High-availability is built into every component, and the backups are completely automated."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it is self-driving, self-securing, and self-repairing."
"We have really high level of services, performance, availability, and it is stable, and everything works together really well."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"Yammer is a good collaboration tool for the entire organization."
"There are so many features, everything you could ever want, which is great for team collaboration."
"The tool allows us to post and keep track of company buzz and events without relying on email."
"Its most valuable features are the storyline and communities."
"We can send out notifications and ask questions using Yammer."
"Yammer allows collaboration anywhere, anytime, on any device."
"The posting features are valuable."
 

Cons

"Right now, we don't have any monitoring."
"The price of licenses is high and should be improved."
"The product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools."
"Microsoft should work on templating and provide some built-in templates so that the changes can automatically roll out to all the configured communities."
"It took me a month to figure out how to use external networks in Viva Engage."
"There is a need for full integration with the other features of Office 365."
"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 would rate the stability of Yammer as six out of ten."
"I've found Team or Skype for Business are more useful than Yammer."
"The permissions are a little bit over-complicated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."
"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"The pricing is not bad."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"We get it as part of our Office 365 subscriptions, so I don't think we pay any additional cost for Yammer. It's included in the Office 365 subscriptions."
