Microsoft Viva Engage Reviews

Pros

I like Viva Engage because, as a Software Programmer, I use many Microsoft products and Viva is at their nexus. Viva allows me to pose questions which can be seen and answered by other programmers at numerous company locations all over the world.

Cons

The interface is somewhat cluttered.
Permissions are all to often set, such that postings which aren't within the purview of a given forum get in, and lead to time wasted sifting thru them.

Pros

I love that it helps create a sense of community at work. It’s easy to create, design, and navigate Viva Engage sites.

Cons

For the most part my overall experience with Viva Engage is positive. The only minor feedback I have is the post sorting sometimes, it’ll default to new posts and when I switch the filter to all the posts will sometimes be out of order.

Pros

I enjoy the ability to create different channels to segregate topics.

Cons

The feed is very overwhelming, and it's easy to miss posts. I also find some the apps doesn't register that you'd read something so it shows it to you twice.
I also don't like that there is an ability to alert the entire team with your posts- it gets over utilised and clogs up your msg box. Instead I feel they should stay within the channels just perhaps highlight thoa channels red and urgent rather than sending a msg to the inbox.

Pros

Viva Engage is totally compatible with Microsoft Outlook and MS Teams and can be pinned as an app in the side bar, which means that a user can easily swap between those apps to make a post and return to their normal work.

Cons

When making a post where an image is included, it would be great if the user could adjust where the image will fit in the text, to give more purpose to the image.

Pros

Yammer is a software that brings a unique bond in our day to day interaction. Working together in one peace has always been my greatest desire. Yammer helped me to implement this since it creates a platform where ideas are exchanged, discussion and negotiations are also done in an orderly manner leaving everyone contented. The performance has risen gradually bringing more hope and motivation to achieve more.

Cons

It was not easy for us as a team to implement the tool especially in formation of groups and adding new members. However, after a thorough consultation internally, we sorted things fast and it is a great tool.

Pros

Yammer has a unique approach to bringing together people with common goals to keep connected and organized. This way, I was able to recognize the loopholes on the overall performance which gave me a chance to make the necessary adjustments. It keeps everyone informed on the proceedings by sharing valuable files and documents. It is quite secure and I can feel the change closer and closer everyday.

Cons

So far so good. No complaints from all parties. I had easy time since day one.

Pros

It was part of MS Suite package or so it was affordable.

Cons

No one in the organization didn't use it they just shared content in MS Teams.

Also I think my colleagues didn't like the name "Yammer" it reminds me of Yams...

Pros

Use it for knowledge sharing by posting articles on the any updates in the company such as business updates, quarterly company financial performance updates and any company news. Has the necessary interface for allowing the users to like and post their comments under every post

Cons

If you are following a particular channel in viva engage you get too many email notifications of every activity in the channel. I would like by default to not receive email notifications unless opted for

Pros

A good way to find your community at work.

Cons

I get so many notifications that I end up not looking at them much--that's on me for not taking the time to unsubscribe to some groups.

Pros

I love this app so much! It makes it easy to stay connected to coworkers. It utilizes a social media setup that is familiar and easy to navigate.

Cons

I haven't found anything I didnt like yet.

Pros

The ability to create instant announcements and add images, links, documents etc has allowed for communication across Teoh organisation to take place with ease and allows collaborative discussion where required/desired/necessary

Cons

Not a lot that is not liked maybe some additional features to link yammer posts together so there can be a thread

Pros

it was good when it start especially to improve internal communication.

Cons

from covid onwards we started shifting onto Teams with Yammer being used less frequently

Pros

The best thing about Yammer is that it allows for informal communications within the company just like any other social media platform. You can communicate with others through posts and images, and you can leave comments with your ideas. It aids in stress relief.

Cons

I am unable to disable email notifications in my situation. It is pre-configured with a default value and cannot be altered. I get between two and four emails a day, but I check those in Yammer anyway, so I don't need those messages.

Pros

What I loved about this platform is the ease and security of communication between workers

Cons

Maybe a few updates to the platform, but that's okay

Pros

What I like about Yammer is that I can post about people who are doing their jobs well and celebrate success. I can also use it to post about best practices.

Cons

The app can be slow at times and I am unable to clear all my notifications if I wish too.

Pros

It lets us upload pictures for other people i work with to see

Cons

I have never had any issues with Yammer.

Pros

It is a social networking platform that I normally used to communicate with my collogues and share information. Al employees can collaborate with each other and that makes everything very efficient I think. I use both web and mobile app versions.

Cons

Sometimes it shows contents that are not relevant to me.

Pros

Yammer is a very easy product to use, anyone can have a access to all the features and use them easily

Cons

What I would recommend for Yammer is to add more features like webinar, training, event, competition

Pros

Yammer is a Collaboration software that helps the organization to communicate and plays a vital role in sharing files and knowledge management. The main advantage that I have seen in Yammer is the mobile application.

Cons

We can't organize the files while uploading. It is not accessible to all users.

Pros

Yammer is a good communication tool within the organization for both personal and professional work. Through Yammer, we can share our knowledge and ideas in a funny way by sharing pictures, and recipes and get to know people in a friendly way. It is an easy-to-use platform.

Cons

The main disadvantage of this tool is that it is only applicable to the user who has an Office365 license. It is good if we have a better UI.

Pros

I can share my knowledge and experience by the help of this software and also I can learn something from other users as well. Also, I can easily communicate with someone and collaborate.

Cons

Personally, I have not faced with any problems yet. I use it for collaboration and it works great.

Pros

Its good when you want to socialize with workmates. It also helps our employees across our organization to make better decisions, faster. Its its ability to bring people together who don’t normally get to see each other that is the most prominent beneficial

Cons

Not enough options or customizations. We get spam notifications

Pros

Easy to use professional networking community to share updates and follow all company news globally

Cons

Too many notifications and home page feed quite unorganized as well as difficult to manage filters to review search related topics/news

Pros

Its communities part is best part of it, to involve in groups.Youcan even make your own communities.

Cons

Personal Messaging is not that useful here on this platform.

Pros

It's a user-friendly program, and I particularly like the fact that Yammer is easy to use and safe to communicate with.

Cons

No drawbacks, but some updating is necessary
