Key User Insights
	Microsoft Viva Engage	Slack
Considered Both Products	Microsoft 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? 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? 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? 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? 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? 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. Incentivized Helpful?	Salesforce Amos Ngai Academic Chair at SAIT (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Slack Slack is the best office communications platform by far. It's lacking in the full integration of voice and video but the simplicity and ease of use for chat it is second to none. Incentivized Helpful? Janne Mikola Technical Product Manager in Product Management at Telia (Telecommunications, 10,001+ employees) Chose Slack None of the competition coming from the Microsoft or Cisco provide the user experience of today's consumerized social media. Slack, on the other hand, is fully on par with the best and most known social media applications that consumers use. Consumerization of IT shows here as … Incentivized Helpful? Jason Smith, DPA Instructional Technologist in Information Technology at Pomona College (Higher Education, 201-500 employees) Chose Slack Well we get Yammer with the Office 365 pack. So, Yammer is paid for and integrates well with Office. MS Office 365 does not have the type of ridiculous service interruptions that Slack seems to experience. Yammer does all the same stuff but without the bad user interface. I did … Incentivized Helpful? Craig Simmons Business Development Representative in Sales at CleverTap (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose Slack Overall I think it has the best collection of features in an easy to use interface that feels familiar to most people. I believe it is the only one that allows you to be a part of multiple teams and toggle between that with a simple click, which is great for our organization. Incentivized Helpful?
