What differentiates Microsoft Viva Engage from other similar products?

Unlike standalone tools like Slack or Workplace from Meta, Viva Engage is embedded within Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Outlook. This means employees can access communities, conversations, and leadership content without leaving their core productivity apps It leverages Microsoft Entra for identity and security, ensuring compliance and governance at an enterprise level. Features like Leadership Corner, Storylines, and Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions foster transparency and leadership engagement, which is not a core focus in Slack or Workplace.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Its deep integration with Microsoft 365 and Teams, enabling seamless community engagement within the tools employees already use daily. This makes it unique compared to standalone platforms because it reduces friction, improves adoption, and ties engagement directly to productivity workflows.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Limited personalization and discoverability compared to consumer-grade social platforms. While Viva Engage integrates well with Microsoft 365, it can feel less intuitive for finding relevant communities or tailoring content to individual interests. This impacts engagement in large organizations.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Viva Engage works best when your organization is already using Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Outlook, because its biggest strength is seamless integration. If your workforce relies on other collaboration tools (e.g., Slack), adoption may be slower. Create community champions or experts early to drive engagement. Use the Community Experts feature to recognize contributors and maintain quality discussions. Use engagement analytics to track adoption and optimize campaigns. If advanced insights are critical, plan for Viva premium licensing.

Constantly innovating

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Great integration with Microsoft tools

What do you dislike most about this product?

The problem with Viva Engage is that if we want the best features, we need to pay for Viva premium which is quite expensive. Some of the features in premium should be included in the basic license.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Best if you have premium version.
