What differentiates Microsoft Viva Engage (Yammer) from other similar products?

Microsoft Viva Engage (formerly Yammer) stands out due to its deep integration with Microsoft 365, enabling seamless collaboration across tools like Teams and SharePoint. It focuses on community building, knowledge sharing, and offers insights into employee engagement. Viva Engage also benefits from Microsoft’s robust security and compliance features, making it ideal for enterprise use

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of Microsoft Viva Engage is its seamless integration with Microsoft 365 tools like Teams and SharePoint. This makes it easy for users to collaborate and stay connected within the familiar Microsoft ecosystem, without needing to switch between different platforms. It also provides valuable insights into employee engagement, which helps foster a stronger sense of community and collaboration across teams

What do you dislike most about this product?

The main drawback of Microsoft Viva Engage is that its interface can feel somewhat cluttered or overwhelming, especially for new users. While its deep integration with Microsoft 365 is a strength, it also means there’s a learning curve to fully utilizing its features, and the experience can be less intuitive compared to more streamlined platforms

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For those considering Microsoft Viva Engage, I’d recommend: 1. Utilize 365 Integration: It works best for organizations using Microsoft tools like Teams and SharePoint. 2. Start Small: Build a few key communities first and expand gradually. 3. Leverage Insights: Use analytics to track engagement and optimize communication. 4. Provide Training: Ensure your team knows how to use it effectively for smooth adoption
