Great Tool to Build Community

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.

Your internal Social Media page

With Viva Engage, I am able to connect to my colleagues across several countries, have discussions with them, make announcements, make polls and praise colleagues who do great things. It allows people to get recognition and to share ideas. Furthermore, as a user you can have your own page where you can put your thoughts and ideas, allowing people to comment and discuss. The best part of it, is that you don't have adverts like you would have on social media pages, and hence you are able to keep everything very professional. It's just so easy to use.

Functionality

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.

Reasons for switching to Microsoft Viva Engage

Viva comes as free for us since it's included in our Office 365 license and is a major cost saver for the company

Tolerable experience, also program feels clunky

It's not very intuitive. And the similar colours of the program make it hard to differentiate what feed/channel you are on. It's not my choice of software for internal company communications.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

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.

Reasons for switching to Microsoft Viva Engage

This was a choice made by the company I work under. I believe this was made to reduce costs of all software as we were already using outlook and teams.

Pros:

I appreciate the company wide communication that allows you to ask questions and speak with people you wouldn't otherwise have access to.

Cons:

Because of the sheer vastness of available groups it is sometimes unclear where the best place to post is. Conversations digress quickly with a lack of monitoring from appropriate parties.

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.
