	Microsoft Viva Engage
Considered Both Products	Microsoft Asad Khan Systems Solution Architect in Engineering at Ericsson (Telecommunications, 10,001+ employees) Chose Microsoft Viva Engage My organization has both Teams & Microsoft Yammer. They use Microsoft Yammer for a larger group as a social media tool for the whole organization, more like a one-way communication from the organization towards a large group of employees. However, I think teams is more suitable … Incentivized Helpful? Jennifer Lamas Analista in Information Technology at FONDO DE COMPENSACIÓN INTERTERRITORIAL (Financial Services, 201-500 employees) Chose Microsoft Viva Engage Basically, all these applications have the same functions, to share jobs and projects in real time and have functioned very similar to social networks that are used daily such as Facebook, Instagram, and others. Yammer was chosen because it is very easy to use, fast and safe. Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Ryave Consultant in Corporate at Booz Allen Hamilton (Management Consulting, 10,001+ employees) Chose Microsoft Viva Engage I like how Yammer has functions that are fun and interactive, which can give you much more to do than using Teams or even Microsoft Forms. Yammer helps people feel included and gives people a better sense of how their friends and co-workers are feeling on certain issues. Yammer … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Viva Engage Yammer is very rudimentary as a broadcast tool and team notification. I has been surpassed in functionality and usefulness by all the other apps listed. Incentivized Helpful? Elibe Elibe Project Management in Engineering at Ryan Companies (Construction, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Microsoft Viva Engage Yammer is better-suited than MS Teams for quick, informal texts with my colleagues. Incentivized Helpful? Samuel Gomez Recuero Technical Support Specialist in Customer Service at Canadian Cancer Society (Health, Wellness and Fitness, 501-1000 employees) Chose Microsoft Viva Engage Skype for Business might be great for small meetings but yammer is way better for communication and discussion groups. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Viva Engage I would say Yammer stacks up to Jabber pretty similarly, except with yammer we have the ability to create more of a collaborate platform. We love Jabber, but we use that more for direct instant messaging, whereas Yammer brings us all together in a larger group (it’s been great … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Viva Engage We now use Microsoft Teams for chatting and project communication and it is more effective than Yammer. I do not find a use for Yammer any longer. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Viva Engage Salesforce Chatter was the initial product we tested as we already use Salesforce throughout the organization. We thought it would be a natural fit. However, we found it was difficult to keep the many groups, thoughts and ideas separate in Chatter, with many of our topics … Incentivized Helpful? Erik Ralston Chief Architect in Information Technology at LiveTiles (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Microsoft Viva Engage Yammer's biggest competition is definitely Workplace by Facebook. Both provide a "post, like, share" social network experience adapted to an enterprise paradigm. Both provide real-time chat on top of that to drive collaboration. Both have lightweight content management to … Incentivized Helpful? Gabrielle Wayman Account Executive in Professional Services at Modern Marketing Concepts, Inc. (Building Materials, 201-500 employees) Chose Microsoft Viva Engage N/a Incentivized Helpful? Theresa Gingras Secretary / Bookkeeper in Customer Service at St. Thomas Catholic Church (Religious Institutions, 51-200 employees) Chose Microsoft Viva Engage Yammer was chosen for us. I had no hand in the decision. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Viva Engage Slack, similar features. Incentivized Helpful? Tim Ryan Senior Project Manager in Information Technology at PEMCO (Insurance, 501-1000 employees) Chose Microsoft Viva Engage We used Share Point currently and in the past would post things there, Yammer is a little better because people are used to seeing a feed scroll and Share Point did get ignored after a while. PostS tend to get stale there quicker since the format is not as appealing. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Viva Engage There are few good alternatives to Microsoft Yammer that serve up the same functionality and allow for networking to the same extent. Prior to Yammer, we used an internal tool which was clunky and did not meet our companies needs. Yammer has proven to be much more successful … Incentivized Helpful? Joshua Melder Process Optimization Analyst in Corporate at Quad/Graphics (Printing, 10,001+ employees) Chose Microsoft Viva Engage Salesforce Chatter and Yammer can often be used in very similar ways. Both offer the ability to collaborate with team-members in real-time. Furthermore, both tools offer ability to share, comment, and network across organizations. One issue with Yammer is that it feels a bit … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Viva Engage Each app serves a different purpose even though there may be some overlap. Yammer is a little like Facebook and one can create, join, or find communities, and many people are familiar with Facebook. Slack works with channels and there are some people who are not as familiar … Incentivized Helpful? Ilya Popovich QA Test Lead in Quality Assurance at Action-MCFR Mediagroup (Information Services, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Microsoft Viva Engage Yammer created very important and reliable social network across the whole company. We used to have MS SharePoint, but since Yammer became available via Office 365 we moved to Yammer. IBM Connections is difficult to maintain + costs are higher. Incentivized Helpful? FRANCO PIÑERO Ingeniero in Engineering at Geoeco.C.A (Management Consulting, 501-1000 employees) Chose Microsoft Viva Engage Yammer is a comprehensive program with enough tools to meet the responsibilities of the company, because it is easier to use and offers more creative and innovative work tools. The company decided to select Yammer over other programs because Yammer is safer and more prestigious … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Viva Engage Yammer seemed like a lite powered Slack that was just coming into its prime. Still a ways to go, but integration with Office365 was great. Incentivized Helpful? Jeremiah Miller Associate Director IT Infrastructure in Information Technology at Mennonite Central Committee (Non-Profit Organization Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Microsoft Viva Engage IBM Connections has a more mature set of features however it is expensive and difficult to maintain. Traditionally IBM Connections require an on-premise installation which required a large capital investment and an ongoing level of expertise to maintain. Although now IBM offers … Incentivized Helpful? Roy Huron Workforce Manager in Customer Service at Aspire Health, Inc. (Hospital & Health Care, 501-1000 employees) Chose Microsoft Viva Engage Great similarities, just FB leads the way on all fronts Incentivized Helpful? Steve Vogt Business Analyst, PMO in Professional Services at Avtex Solutions, LLC (Telecommunications, 201-500 employees) Chose Microsoft Viva Engage The login integration to MS accounts was key. The concept of having to login with one additional account is no longer an attractive option. Yammer integrates to other MS logins for a seamless user experience. FB Business is a nice alternative, but Yammer being under the MS … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Viva Engage Yammer, although not as strong for project management, has been a great tool to help our teams collaborate and build camaraderie across the organization.
