Pros

“Viva Engage excels at connecting employees across different departments and locations, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.”
BC

Bien C.

Systems and Service Operation Analyst

“My coworkers and I can make and comment on posts related to work (and sometimes other things) that doesn't feel so formal.”
SK

Samantha K.

Evaluator

“I've a company subscription to Microsoft 365, and Viva nicely integrates with many of it's components, therefore I can easily leverage work done originally for one purposes, to be applied easily to future needs.”

Wes P.

Principal Software Engineer

Pros

“It's also genuinely fun to use: custom emoji, threads, pinned messages, and a huge library of bots and integration mean you can shape a server around exactly how your group works. And the core product is free, with Nitro adding polish rather than gating anything essential.”

Mark B.

Manager

“The server-and-channel structure keeps conversations organized by topic instead of everything piling into one thread, and roles and permissions let you control who sees what without much fuss.”

Manager

“It replaced a group chat, a forum, and a voice call tool all at once, and after the initial setup it's needed almost no maintenance.”

Cons

“Yammer's potential drawbacks include limited integration with other Microsoft 365 applications, the challenge of achieving user adoption, and the risk of information overload.”

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

“The use interface is not very simple to use.”

Tiffany S.

Project Interface Manager

Cons

“For me the most negative feature is it does not integrate with email seamlessly. When I'm communicating with clients I often have to copy-paste important information or approvals from discord to e-mail.”
LV

Luis V.

Account Executive

“some advanced server customization options require a Nitro subscription, which for me is a drawback for smaller communities on a budget.”

Enish S.

Project Manager

“For me useless monetization like animated avatars, backgrounds etc.”
