The integration with Teams is the biggest value for us. In fact, it has only become more valuable now that it has integration with Teams. Teams allows you to stream, so that's good.

I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer.

This solution would be improved if it was well integrated with other communication applications.

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 product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools.

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.

If you are using other applications that are tough to integrate into the environment, that can cause limitations.

It should have integration with multiple third-party platforms.
