Not as feature-rich as Jive, but strikingly intuitive ease of use and a much lower cost.

Pros and Cons

"Yammer provides a simple to use, intuitive platform for enterprise collaboration within the social networking information model."

"Yammer is not as feature rich as the most mature offering in this space, Jive, however it makes up for this with strikingly intuitive ease of use and a much lower cost."

What is most valuable?

Yammer provides a simple to use, intuitive platform for enterprise collaboration within the social networking information model. Like other products in this space, Yammer takes a crowd-sourcing approach to knowledge management in the enterprise by allowing users to leverage powerful tagging and content collaboration tools to communicate and capture information and expertise.

What needs improvement?

Yammer is not as feature rich as the most mature offering in this space, Jive, however it makes up for this with strikingly intuitive ease of use and a much lower cost.

Looks like Yammer initially was built with a focus on Consumers whereas Jive on contrary was built with focus on Enterprises. Later radically both products are concentrating on Enterprise Social Collaboration and Networking space. Yammer with its freemium type attracts Collaborations to take place immediately unlike Jive though both support SAAS based model as well apart from cloud options. But one thing is not clear why Yammer is available on cloud option only? Can't it support stand-alone or on-premise option?

A fine platform for workplace and organizational collaboration

Pros and Cons

"Yammer was an outstanding performer in the collaborative platform category."

"The only con was that it did not share the same transition speed between apps as SAP StreamWork, another platform that I reviewed in the CODIE Awards collaborative category."

Valuable Features:

I reviewed Yammer as a judge for the 2012 SIIA CODIE Awards. Yammer was an outstanding performer in the collaborative platform category. I was given a full video demonstration of the software, and was very impressed with the following pros: *Dashboard design with full multiple application capability. * The number of outside applications that can be embedded into or integrated with Yammer. *The speed of the Yammer platform, which delivered information via multiple channels and sources *The fact that there is a mobile iOS application for Yammer. * A free version of Yammer is available to individual users who sign up *
