I have been working a lot with Yammer over the past few months, simply from the standpoint of integrating it with on-premise solutions. You can see all the fruits of my labor at my SPC session in March:
As part of my development research, I decided to take a look at all the apps that are currently available in the Yammer "App Store". Here's a run down:
- Yammer has 66 public apps published
- 22 of the apps are from the Yammer team
- Spigit and HYPE Innovation have two apps published, but seem to be overlaps
- 40 single app vendors published
In contrast, the SharePoint store has 240 apps published. See this post for a run down all of those Apps:
Some of the interesting things I noticed:
- The IFrame window that opens for the apps is ridiculous. Basic users won't be able to find the "Allow" button or be able to continue to fill in app details. This is a Yammer problem and not the App vendors problem. Yammer should fix this.
- No categorization of the Apps. There are a lot of archiving solutions. If you already have one, it would be great to hide all archiving apps.
- Apps that don't have a freemium service are doing a great disservice to themselves, they will lose to those that do provide it.
- Apps that store your data (like the QNA app) is not easily indexed and searchable. Only the data in the feed is indexed. Your data is now crawling out across the internet. Have those companies done as much as O365 in terms of getting security certifications? Doubt it. Most are small companies out of San FranJose that don't have the VC money to spend on expensive certs.
- If you publish an App, make sure your site and app entry point is working (http monitoring is good people)! It would be good for Yammer and Microsoft to have an automated process that verifies that the app entry points are valid and working.
- If you publish an App, make sure your site SSL certificate is updated. Very embarrassing.
- Yammer really needs to put where the message came from like Facebook and Twitter does…come on man!
- Yammer app permissions messaging sucks. The phrase "Your credentials will be passed to the application" is a horrible way to say it. No, my password is not being passed to their app, just the token that allows them to impersonate…geez…come on man!
The best of the best:
There are some hugely notable apps in the Yammer app catalog. These include:
- SolvePath have to be some of the smartest people I have seen in the
social space. They GET IT. They are 3-4 years ahead of everyone else,
their architecture and design is simply impressive - The Social Radio is just freaking amazing. With all the Kinect work I have been doing, I can tell you this app was not easy to build and the voice synth is out of this world!
- I'll be using Xendo a lot more moving forward, indexing of all your content in one place. Just amazes me that the Search O365 platform is so stingy when it comes to indexing other data sources.
- Delve and Scoop.it provide automated news posting across your networks (makes you look like a news hero)
- GlowBl is simply lightyears out there, if you can wrap your mind around it…you will be a media rockstar!
- Zapier and IFTTT are so cool, end users can build their own workflows with no coding required. I give Zapier a leg up as their UI is way easier to use!
Here's my run down of all 66 Yammer apps:

True | Paid | 4 | Be ready for all your data to leave your yammer networks. I'm not a fan of hosted solutions like this. I think it should be a pre-packed software so you keep your data. But that's my humble opinion. |

True | Freemium | 3 | This app connects to your Google, O365 or Microsoft Exchange and imports in all of your contacts. Once imported, it will manage your email and map those emails to interactions with your peers and customers in a CRM like way. It can manage your tasks and fire activities to your yammer feeds. Honestly, this thing is MASSIVE. It is a very salesforce.com like approach. Not much to do with Yammer in this app, and the app is more of a gateway to get you to check them out. |
