"Chat without leaving your BEO behind "
What do you like best about Chatter?

It’s convenient because it’s on the same screen as my events calendar.

What do you dislike about Chatter?

It’s a bummer that my colleagues would rather use email than chatter. I wish that it interfaced with outlook in a more user friendly way.

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

Event-related issues can be directed in a more focused way. I like that my conversations are easily traceable.

"Best internal communication on Salesforce platform"
What do you like best about Chatter?

The strength of chatter is its integration with the Salesforce platform--our teams uses Chatter to tag other users and post updates across teams to ensure everyone's on the same page. Our teams also use Chatter to share files. Chatter definitely shines for teams collaborating on a support case.

What do you dislike about Chatter?

Chatter notifications are occasionally missed--users can enable email alerts for chatter posts, but if you're trying to stay within one system (Salesforce), then the icon alerts in the corner aren't bold enough.

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

Chatter lets us solve the problem of communicating on a record-based system (Salesforce). By using chatter instead of email, there's no chance that we are crossing streams. The conversation occurs directly on the case/account/contact.

"It’s basically Facebook"
What do you like best about Chatter?

The chatter feature on Salesforce allows employees to make posts much like one would on a Facebook feed. It is good for communications that are not necessarily worthy of an email, and even more fun posts for morale!

What do you dislike about Chatter?

Chatter can sometimes be an ineffective tool at my workplace because there is no notification system in place. It may be several days before a post is seen

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

Chatter can be a great place to share achievements of employees. It is nice because these achievements may go unnoticed if the Chatter page did not exist, but this gives them a space to be celebrated!

"A nice answer to internal social media"
What do you like best about Chatter?

I like the ability to use chatter to update everyone on what has been going on internally. Being able to attach images or links to a post is a welcome and helpful feature.

What do you dislike about Chatter?

The user interface falls in line with the rest of Salesforce which could do with a refresh as it seems outdated.

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

Being able to share meaningful updates with everyone in the company without spamming their Outlook inbox.

"Excellent for inter office editing of projects."
What do you like best about Chatter?

I like how no matter if my coworkers are in office or working from home we can still all bounce ideas off one another using this software.

What do you dislike about Chatter?

Just the sign in, the changing of passwords every so often drove me a bit crazy.

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

We are able to work on complex work files and collaborate quickly even when someone from our team is not in office. So it solves the missing puzzle piece issue when a co worker is not in office but hold key elements to a clients information. The benefits of this software are wonderful no more waiting extra days for co workers to all be in the same area at the same time for meetings we all sign in from anywhere and we are ready to go,

"Chatter for global collaboration"
What do you like best about Chatter?

Like the ability to easily collaborate with global colleagues. Ability to follow objects like an opportunity is valuable.

Do many different logins for different chatter orgs. Would be nice to have a single Chatter login across multiple orgs - would make password maintenance easier and also ability to see anything you need access to in one spot.

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

Global collaboration.

"Good means for professional communications"
What do you like best about Chatter?

Being able to sync my commentary to accounts, leads, opportunities.

What do you dislike about Chatter?

It isn't as 'real-time' as other communications means such as Slack or GChat.

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

Solving the ability to communicate around business issues that are sensitive and should be secure through the Salesforce platform. A universal platform that everyone within the company will be able to access.
