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

Microsoft Viva Engage (formerly Yammer) is an enterprise social networking platform integrated with Microsoft 365, designed to enhance employee engagement and communication across organizations. What sets it apart is its deep integration with Microsoft tools like Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint, enabling seamless knowledge sharing, leadership engagement, and community building. It's especially valuable for large organizations seeking secure, scalable, and compliant internal communication, though it may overlap with Teams in some use cases.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of Microsoft Viva Engage is its seamless integration with Microsoft 365 apps, which makes it easy for employees to engage, share updates, and stay connected without leaving their daily workflow.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most about Microsoft Viva Engage is that it can feel redundant alongside Microsoft Teams, leading to confusion about when to use which platform for communication.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If we're considering Microsoft Viva Engage, ensure your organization is already using Microsoft 365 to get the full benefits. Use it primarily for company-wide communication, leadership engagement, and building communities, while reserving Teams for real-time collaboration. Set clear usage guidelines to avoid overlap and confusion.
