The ability to communicate across multiple teams attaching that note to a specific contact within SFDC.

I wish we could upload images or documents.

What problems is Chatter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Working in Customer Marketing, I work with just about every department in the company in some way. The ability to be able to tag the account rep in chatter and communicate in real time has been helpful. Also I love the email notifications.

"Chatter is perfect for cross team communication"

I have no complaints. Everything works as expected.

What problems is Chatter solving and how is that benefiting you?

especially with cases it is very important for all involved parties to know what's happening as well as who is responsible for each step.

It's efficient and allows me to not have to send an email to tag someone in a case. I can attach and tag what I need, which also allows me to track.

User interface is great and makes it easy to communicate with colleagues. Being able to add pictures/video is a great attribute to directly communicate via chat.

We have trouble receiving notifications if multiple people are tagged but the response doesn't include a tag to them.

What problems is Chatter solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to directly update people on the files we are working on, making it easy to navigate directly to what needs to be worked on.

"Great tool for professional chats"
What do you like best about Chatter?

The simplicity to use and user friendlyness of the Salesforce chatter is the USP of it being number 1 in the market. Salesforce enables Salesforce developers to develop different forms of customisations that help tweak it as per companies needs. Easy options that show insights of the data, help to connect with different individuals in the organization and be updated about companies news and recognitions is being so much social in professional life.

What do you dislike about Chatter?

Though it has most the features for a socio-profesional chatter, it lacks a P2P Chat feature and a group chat feature. Had it been there it would add icing on the cake. No other complaints from what Salesforce chatter is offering.

What problems is Chatter solving and how is that benefiting you?

With no internal chatter being available earlier, the internal communications and announcements were made only via bulk/group emails and that cluttered our inboxes. Some important customer emails got missed at times due to the internal emails. Having started Salesforce chatter in our organization, all our internal communications, announcements, award recognitions, new customer win, appraisal announcements, recognizion for employees completing milestones, welcoming new joinees everything is done at a single place within Salesforce chatter thus solving the problem. Another plus is that I do not need to remember separate credentials for Chatter but I can straight away login to the Salesforce chatter with Single sign on feature provided by my company.

"The easiest way to talk to colleagues in Salesforce!"
What do you like best about Chatter?

I like how easy it is to pull up chatter in a record. It’s simple to @ someone and make a comment. Then it’s visible by anyone for context.

What do you dislike about Chatter?

Nothing I don’t like! I am sure there are improvement areas, but it works perfectly for me.

What problems is Chatter solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving the issue of having conversations that are related to a record outside of salesforce. This creates confusion, so we are gaining visibility with Chatter!

"Nice tool to communicate within Sales and Marketing"
What do you like best about Chatter?

Connected to the CRM you use anyway, connected as well to Leads and Accounts you´re working on.

What do you dislike about Chatter?

For those that do not work regularly with Salesforce anyway, it is an additional tool they need to login to and work with.

What problems is Chatter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quick communication during the Sales process with people working on the same industry, segment or even client across teams. Very useful to keep all communication on an account in one place, even with Customer Success team, so that everybody can have the full documented overview across the client.

"Best features of salesforce."
What do you like best about Chatter?

We can easily use the "Mention" features of chatter feed to get feedback faster and communicate seamlessly across teams about project updates. We can easily create groups, polls, and comments. If required we can share the attachment as well through these chatter features. We can send an email as well through the chatter feed. Even we can implement the API with the chatter so that we can tag, comment, attach files within a second.

What do you dislike about Chatter?

I believe we cannot send a private message through the chatter. and also I have not seen any date filter to find the old chatter quickly. We cannot send an email to the external customer through the chatter. It means external customers won't receive an email in their inbox when we send through chatter feed. Apart from this, I don't remember any negative points.

What problems is Chatter solving and how is that benefiting you?

1) Updating the comments. 2) Sending an email. 3) attaching the file to the chatter. 4) Tagging / mentioned the case requester for any updates.

"A melhor ferramenta de compartilhamento de informações dentro de uma organização."

"Great Tool for Keeping Communication Centralized"
What do you like best about Chatter?

Our company has started leveraging chatter more frequently. We are finding that it is a great method of keeping communication regarding a certain record on that record. It decreases the need to go searching in other places for the information and keeps everyone involved up to date.

What do you dislike about Chatter?

We have noticed page load slowdowns. We are loading files which may contribute to that issue.

What problems is Chatter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prior to using chatter, information regarding an opportunity would exist in email and in different forums. Not everyone involved would be leveraging the same information. This ensures that all of the information stays accessible and in 1 places.

"Great way of tracking key info on the account level!"
What do you like best about Chatter?

Chatter is the main location for the most important communication regarding our accounts. By using Chatter, we are able to view the history of an account and get a high-level overview of what has happened in the past. It also allows us to tag our executives for any kind of approvals regarding an account opportunity.

What do you dislike about Chatter?

There are some automated messages that are added into chatter that end up cluttering the section.

What problems is Chatter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Chatter gives us a space for action items and communication with leadership regarding particular accounts and deals. We have many ways of getting in touch with each other but this is the best way to track the most valuable business insights and decisions.

"Good for chatter"
What do you like best about Chatter?

It's easy to track communications between teams and individuals as well concerning SFDC cases, any operations updates, etc.

What do you dislike about Chatter?

Unless we have Chatter up all the time, it doesn't integrate well with Outlook/email updates. We get a separate email every time a Chatter comment is made, vs. continuing on the same thread like Chatter itself does.

What problems is Chatter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving submitted cases with Chatter. It helps with consolidating communications with teammates and see conversations on the same topic all in one place vs. sending each other emails.

"Great way to collaborate while in the CRM"
What do you like best about Chatter?

Chatter is an easy way to communicate to coworkers without needing to bring in another tool.

What do you dislike about Chatter?

can only use while in Salesforce so if the whole company is not using it, it does not help.

"Chatter is wonderful, They even offer a free trial so you can get in there and test it out."
What do you like best about Chatter?

I love how easy chatter is to use. When using salesforce its great just to incorporate chatter to talk with my sales team and to assign tasks for them to complete without having to physically call them or write out an email. Chatter reminds me of a social media platform that only my co-workers and business partners are on. Really great way to share information. Chatter is very much helpful because it makes it very easy to also track sales and have immediate discussions with those involved in the sales process of that lead. The upside of chatter is there is a free trial period that gives you the chance to learn the chatter system before you pay for it .

What do you dislike about Chatter?

I don't like that chatter isn't the most user-friendly when first setting it up. There is a learning curve which is about a week or so. Maybe it's just me because I'm so used to how Facebook user interface is. It may have taken me a little more time to learn chatter.

What problems is Chatter solving and how is that benefiting you?

I solving a huge communication issue within my organization. We use to use another platform like chatter but it was hard to get everyone to switch over and stay consistent with it. Chatter makes it easier today because its more of a social platform to talk with business partners. It doesn't all have to be business you can even talk regular life and your social life. it's like a Facebook but much better to incorporate your business into.

"Great Communication Feature Inside Application"
What do you like best about Chatter?

I love how Chatter was always so easy to see. Because it is in the application itself you will never miss a communication. I also love how you can tag people in your chatter posts (@janedoe) so they will get a notification that it is important to them.

What do you dislike about Chatter?

There aren't many downsides. But one might be that you will need to continuously refresh your chatter to see new posts. You don't get any sort of notification that something new has come up on chatter unless someone has tagged you like I had mentioned above.

What problems is Chatter solving and how is that benefiting you?

I feel like communication is a big problem across all types of careers. Whether its between departments, coworkers, supervisors etc. This chatter feature gives you another option to all stay on the same page.

"Connect with your colleague on a case"
What do you like best about Chatter?

Well, it's a great reminding feature and using it can be very helpful to yourself and absolutely to your colleague and manager. A salesperson can really take advantage of this. Every comment there would be documented, and you can follow up on a case easily even if you forgot something.

What do you dislike about Chatter?

The layout can be improved, also there is a small difference using Chatter in Salesforce Classic vs Lightning.
