Community Sites vs Yammer

Question

Planning to build a knowledge portal and was curious if others have been down the road of choosing between using&nbsp; Community Sites or Yammer to provide the conversational element ? As always in SharePoint it's about backing the right horse. Have Community Sites been enhanced in SharePoint 2016 ?

Dawid Zych, thank you for posting that link, it was very insightful.

A follow up question for you: is there any way enable notifications or some sort of (good looking) report that could be sent to community members on a regular basis to help promote participation in a SP Community?

Dawid Zych, Thanks! That's a very helpful link. I've checked all of the settings, however there are no notificaitons taking place. Is this something that the O365 admin may have turned off?
