"Employee Opinions: Workplace is Ideal for increasing engagement through Yammer"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Viva Engage?

I enjoy the ability to create new communities on topics that range from specific office locations or hobbies, to specialized conversations about personal journeys. The fact that those who don't wish to participate can opt out of these discussion adds a layer of safety I appreciate; as well as being able email notifications anytime there is new information posted in any community they choose! Yammer truly provides an environment suitable for speaking more casually and personally with coworkers without feeling exposed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viva Engage?

I strongly disagree with the concept of enterprise social media like Yammer. I find that nobody is interested in using it, which further leads to a lack of engagement or interest when seeing what others post. Additionally, this platform was created for an issue that never should have been solved in the first place and automated emails are often used as being one’s only option so its use becomes redundant at times.

"yammer has somewhat devolved into another Facebook that is not anonymous"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Viva Engage?

that you can interface with work colleagues across many subjects, and get to know a bit about them outside of work. They will talk about things on there that they cannot or will not talk about in person or within 'work meetings' Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viva Engage?

some people get super political on there, even offensive, with no fear of retaliation for being unprofessional. Basically you leave facebook just to get on Yammer and find some of the same divisive talk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unlock the power of Yammer: A powerful communication tool for Your organization"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Viva Engage?

I love how user-friendly Yammer is - its layout and operation are intuitive. It's a great way to stay in touch with colleagues, be up-to-date on work developments, and create private groups for friends or family so you can share fun experiences together. The platform also keeps internal employees informed about interesting initiatives that could help them improve their skillset! Everyone should feel comfortable voicing any problems they have, too - within the corporate intranet, it functions just like social media does externally, making it easy to use thanks to exceptional support provided by Yammer staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viva Engage?

The need for clarity on how Yammer should be used creates confusion among our users. There isn't a consensus regarding whether it should serve as an ongoing, multi-dimensional hub for conversations or offer quick updates and dialogue about projects and cooperation. This has caused difficulty in generating hype about this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nice and Easy Communication across teams within the organisation."
4/5
What do you like best about Viva Engage?

The best thing I like about Yammer is the ability to create your community and communicate with only the intended ones and colleagues. The new Yammer looks like Facebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viva Engage?

The least helpful idea about Yammer is that it requires people to log in and keep watching the feed or space. It would have been better if the notifications were just shown as a banner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
