It's a very positive overall experience, no question. When you seek to do two things: empower departments to have more clarity into their quarterly Objectives, and Key Results; and then illustrate the hierarchy of work between departments and overall corporate Outcomes, Viva delivers spectacularly. My only other note would be that the learning curve for administrators is a little longer than say, a single 30 minute class. But after a times logging in to use it, updates go by much faster.

Pros

We started using Microsoft Viva as a way to capture out Objectives and Key Results on a team by team, then larger Area by Area basis. But from there, it expanded to allowing us to capture Outcomes across the entire company. Easily, that's what best works for myself / the company. We have such a clear way to demonstrate how the work done by teams is impacting Outcomes intended by the organization.

Cons

To date, having a clean connection / integration between Viva and Azure DevOps (ADO) has not gone as smoothly as originally intended. We do not yet link Epics and Features, despite that being a key factor in our original rollout 16 months ago. While we still have learning to do, I would say that not being able to do that is a letdown from our initial vision.

Pros

Microsoft Viva is great because it allows users to exploit the full potential of Microsoft Teams, thanks to Viva Connections and Viva Learning. Viva Connections allows you to create various cards pointing to SharePoint Portals, News, Learning platforms and many more. Viva Learning allows you to regroup a great amount of learning platform in a single place and it has a huge amount of trainings on the various tools offered by Microsoft 365.

Cons

Viva Engage is not really useful if people don’t maintain their Outlook Calendar up to date. Also Viva Learning doesn’t support all learning platforms and for some you have to pay expensive extras to connect the learning platforms to Viva Learning. Let’s just say that, even if you don’t have the Viva options setup you’ll be able to live and be productive without them.

Reasons for choosing Microsoft Viva

I use Viva connections and some features of Viva Learning because they’re included in my licence, but I wouldn’t pay more for Viva.

Pros

Microsoft Viva è utile per chi vuole trovare riunite in un'unica piattaforma corsi di formazione che spaziano tra diversi argomenti. Utile per aziende che vogliono realizzare delle pillole formative per i dipendenti

Cons

Un po' caotica l'interfaccia. Costo un po' elevato considerando che non è essenziale per uso privato.

Pros

Thanks to its easy and simple integration, you can quickly switch to use. Thanks to the simplified and advanced interface it provides, a quick and easy reporting is ready in a few steps. Perhaps one of the best tools to learn and evaluate yourself while working.

Cons

It may be considered unnecessary for someone who knows very little.It just provides a glimpse for a user who doesn't know how to use it yet. After reading a few documents, you can adapt quickly and maybe discover doors that can open to a different world.

Pros

Love the focus time function that automatically book my time one week ahead! I also love the stay connected function reminders to make sure that i didn't miss any follow-ups or emails.

Cons

Sometimes the viva insights can be overwhelming with the follow-ups and it shows me tasks that i've already accomplished or no follow up is necessary.

自然言語処理を現実世界に落とし込むことがいかに難しいか、実感することができます。

Cons

メールの返信忘れやタスクのリマインドを毎朝メールでお知らせしてくれる設定だったのですが、リマインドが無くてもいいものも予測してリマインドしてくれたり、不要な推奨アクションを教えてくれたりするので、リマインドや推奨アクションを読む時間がもったいないです。

The first engagement with Microsoft viva came with the feeling of using a new software but the user interface makes adoption seamless, I would recommend a feedback mechanism to improve the UI as was done with office365

Pros

It improved my social wellbeing as a staff, especially the viva insight, viva learning and viva goals without erupting my focus during work hours

Cons

The inability to share insight learning and goals to external sources is the least likable, I will recommend an admin controlled avenue to share outside the organisation

Pros

The viva insights feature always raised a positive feeling for each work day. The Viva learning has solved a long struggle that comes with critical tracking of learning on the job situations

Cons

The scope of music for relaxation or reflection on viva insight is narrow and should be expanded to reflect the culture of the user.
