Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros An answer to Microsoft's Yammer Google Currents is an employee engagement platform with the aim to help build a productive online community. It is a part of G Suite bundle and it can even be used to communicate with people outside your organization. It brings in a lot of current social network trends and is quite simple to use. Cons Although it is pretty neat, it offers no reason to switch over from Yammer which has even more features.
