Microsoft Viva Engage

Pros: well integrated with teams and sharepoint, can get notification from teams and find documents in sharepoint

Cons: some of the file format are not supported for preview, especially related to programming

Pros: Enables interaction with colleagues in different parts of the world.

Cons: Nothing observed as yet, the application is very handy.

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: An internal comms platform that makes internal comms easy and interesting.

Cons: Setting up specific notifications can be tricky. It seems it’s everything or nothing. But a small thing to be concerned about.

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: 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: 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 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: It is good to stay informed about company updates. I like that we receive email updates directly about new information or posts.

Cons: Since there are so many people updating the tool across a large organization, not everyone uses the tool. Some of the social engagement is not relevant to every team. It is also not very intuitive to use. The use interface is not very simple to use.

Pros: Easy to use and can create my story. Light app.

Cons: Searching for an old story or writeup is sometimes difficult. Also I want to keep them tagged at one place for later review.

Pros: It is interactive and a good tool for keeping up with my work/social life.

Cons: Nothing specifically at this point in time.

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: I love being able to connect with my coworkers on a business level as well as person level.

Cons: I wish the look of the software was more customizable.

Pros: What I like most about Viva Engage is that it is a space where you and your co workers are able to engage in anything you want to create. It essentially is one place where you can communicate.

Cons: My least favorite thing about Viva Engage is sometimes while trying to find posts could be confusing if you don't have the feed when things are posted at first.

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 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: Good for large corporate engagement and wide spread information sharing

Cons: Cultural change towards use is required in order to get best experience

Pros: It is a great tool to use within a company to communicate and collaborate with othrr employees. I think it works good for small companies but would work even better with larger companies especially where people don't have time to check 50-100 emails they get each week, communicating different changes.

Cons: There wasn't much not to like, it is honestly a good software to use

Pros: Ease of integration and automated display within emails to serve as reminders.

Cons: Could be used more on outlook to provide further support for user.

Pros: I like how you can post office events and find groups that fit your personality.

Cons: It is a very familiar social media website. It is easily comparable to other sources. Not really a bad thing.

Pros: It's a great way to interact with members within the company!

Cons: I dislike that the mobile app crashes quite a bit.

Pros: It’s social media for professionals within a company intranet

Cons: Not setup for use outside company boundaries
