Microsoft Viva Engage Erfahrungen

Vorteile

Internationaler Zugriff und somit alle Bereiche und Standorte mit einbeziehen.

Nachteile

Teilweise wirkt die Seite etwas überladen.

Vorteile

Leicht verständliches Tool, dass alles Funktionen eines Kommunikationstools abdeckt, die man im Unternehmen benötigt.

Nachteile

Jedes "freie" Kommunikationstool birgt wohl die Gefahr, dass öffentlich "gejammert" wird und sich eine gewisse Eigendynamik entwickelt.

Vorteile

Austausch Funktionen von Dateien, sowie das möglichen Kommentiere und die Chat Funktion

Nachteile

Es updatet manchmal nicht so schnell den Inhalt der Beiträge und zeigt manchmal einen alten Stand an, dass kommt aber selten vor.

Vorteile

Die Einfachheit der Kommunikation mit Einzelpersonen oder Gruppen sowie das Hochladen und Teilen von Fotos

Nachteile

Derzeit gibt es nichts negatives, was mir an Yammer aufgefallen ist

Vorteile

Ich nutze es nur als Nachrichtenempfänger

Nachteile

Ich benutze es nur als Nachrichtenempfänger

Vorteile

Yammer is a Microsoft platform and it has all the good things about this type of tool, it is very flexible, it has a lot of integrations with third parties, it works fast, it works on any device, it is safe and reliable, the updates are up to date, etc. Yammer is an excellent collaborative tool, that is its main function, it applies from small groups to gigantic companies, it is a platform designed for collaborative work and its tools and interface make it noticeable, it has a fairly formal but very well optimized interface. In addition, it is an excellent program for internal communication and transferring files. Yammer is a 10/10 platform.

Nachteile

The platform's advertising is very invasive, from the many emails that arrive, from unnecessary notifications to the phone, etc. The interface, although it's fine, is quite boring, it works well, but it doesn't encourage you to spend a lot of time on the platform.

Vorteile

Yammer is a software that brings a unique bond in our day to day interaction. Working together in one peace has always been my greatest desire. Yammer helped me to implement this since it creates a platform where ideas are exchanged, discussion and negotiations are also done in an orderly manner leaving everyone contented. The performance has risen gradually bringing more hope and motivation to achieve more.

Nachteile

It was not easy for us as a team to implement the tool especially in formation of groups and adding new members. However, after a thorough consultation internally, we sorted things fast and it is a great tool.

Vorteile

I like Viva Engage because, as a Software Programmer, I use many Microsoft products and Viva is at their nexus. Viva allows me to pose questions which can be seen and answered by other programmers at numerous company locations all over the world.

Nachteile

The interface is somewhat cluttered.
Permissions are all to often set, such that postings which aren't within the purview of a given forum get in, and lead to time wasted sifting thru them.

Vorteile

I enjoy the ability to create different channels to segregate topics.

Nachteile

The feed is very overwhelming, and it's easy to miss posts. I also find some the apps doesn't register that you'd read something so it shows it to you twice.
I also don't like that there is an ability to alert the entire team with your posts- it gets over utilised and clogs up your msg box. Instead I feel they should stay within the channels just perhaps highlight thoa channels red and urgent rather than sending a msg to the inbox.

Vorteile

What I like most about Viva Engage is that it is a space where you and your co workers are able to engage in anything you want to create. It essentially is one place where you can communicate.

Nachteile

My least favorite thing about Viva Engage is sometimes while trying to find posts could be confusing if you don't have the feed when things are posted at first.

Vorteile

Yammer has a unique approach to bringing together people with common goals to keep connected and organized. This way, I was able to recognize the loopholes on the overall performance which gave me a chance to make the necessary adjustments. It keeps everyone informed on the proceedings by sharing valuable files and documents. It is quite secure and I can feel the change closer and closer everyday.

Nachteile

So far so good. No complaints from all parties. I had easy time since day one.

Vorteile

I like that it is simplified and its quiet easy to use even for the newbies. The tiling of feeds according to subject and relevance makes it easier to get the best out of. Ideas flow unabated and team members can quickly share productive information.

Nachteile

I would like to see Yammer filtering the messages and feeds posted so that only relevant information is retained for future reference

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Microsoft Viva Engage

Vorteile

It is safe and only authorized users have access to this corporate social network to engage and share latest news/updates within the organization.

Nachteile

Not sure if one can integrate with Microsoft Stream for videos. It would be awesome.

Vorteile

It was part of MS Suite package or so it was affordable.

Nachteile

No one in the organization didn't use it they just shared content in MS Teams.

Also I think my colleagues didn't like the name "Yammer" it reminds me of Yams...

Vorteile

Good for large corporate engagement and wide spread information sharing

Nachteile

Cultural change towards use is required in order to get best experience

Vorteile

I use Yammer to link to fellow employees of Transcribeme. So far, Yammer has been extremely easy to navigate and I have not seen any glitches during my two years working with it. Yammer uses columns to organize your different feeds which helps with clarity. In a quick sweep of my feed, I can see the app directory, any new activity in all my groups, suggested managment or key team members to follow on Yammer, etc. It allows me to get live updates fast and easy so that I always know what is happening with the company I freelance transcribe for.

I like that Yammer allows each company to tailor it's virtual work atmosphere to it's own needs. When I became a freelance transcriptionist, I was really worried about the isolation that comes with the online work. Yammer, though, seems to have completely changed that for me and the rest of the Transcribeme team, I think. Easy information share and very socially oriented, Yammer is a great app for the work-at-home crowd.

Nachteile

All the positives said, I think Yammer could work on it's design. Maybe it needs some modern touches and perhaps more social features. An amazing app that brings work-at-home people together could always do with more social features ie. a live-chat feature, customizable themes, more inviting interface because it's really important to catch the attention of freelancers so that they are more apt to frequent the site.

Vorteile

1. Yammer is a business social networking service that allows small and medium-sized businesses to create a private, secure online workspace to help build stronger relationships with colleagues, clients, and customers.
2.Yammer integrated with Office 365 services in a number of ways. Within Yammer itself, it will be possible for users to create Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents through Office Online.
3.It is a tool that allows users to easily create, share, and connect with Yammer-enabled applications. It is primarily used for communication, but it has the potential to accomplish a wide variety of other tasks.
4. It is a great platform to share links to articles and sites that can help you learn more about the technology.

Nachteile

1. It's expensive, members are often confused with the feature set is limited.
2. It can be difficult to add new members to Yammer and create new groups. It is also difficult to create new groups without an invitation

Vorteile

Yammer creates a sense of community within the organization, helping to build a strong corporate culture and improve employee engagement and it makes it easy for employees to collaborate on projects and share information across departments and teams.

Nachteile

Integrating Yammer with other systems and tools can be challenging, requiring additional IT resources and expertise and With so much information being shared on Yammer, it can be difficult to filter out the noise and find the information you need.

Vorteile

Yammer enables us to create groups by specialization, so that we can easily share files and task updates, in addition to scheduling all events for all group members in a unified calendar. I like the fact that Slack integrates with email platforms, as well as Video Conferencing platforms, which enables us to interact more efficiently, as well as enable us to discuss, add comments and suggestions in an organized way. With Yammer and thanks to the high-quality automation provided with it, all dashboards stay up-to-date, based on updates from group members.

Nachteile

There are no negative things affecting the main functions of Yammer, I just need to lift some restrictions on formatting and editing the panels to become more relevant to the nature of our work.

Vorteile

Provides an easy to use platform for communication and sharing. The relatively limited feature set keeps interacting with Yammer a straight forward experience. For our purposes Yammer provides a great substitute for the "Doctor's Lounge" that our physicians miss since we are a much larger organization than just a few years ago. Physicians can, in physician only environments, discuss patient cases and ask for advice and referrals to other specialists from a much larger community of their peers than are available at their physical location.

Nachteile

Because Yammer does not seem to have all the same connections to our AD database as other applications in Office 365 getting everyone onto the platform can be challenging. Creating and managing groups can be daunting as the platform is open. Controlling the types of communication on the platform can also be difficult and channel moderators have to stay vigilant. This does mean that the platform is creating new work for those staff chosen as channel moderators, and depending on adoption and usage this can be a significant commitment of time on a regular basis.

Vorteile

Yammer was so easy and a convenient app and space for all employees to interact about upcoming promotions, shift coverage, and available shifts to work. It was so quick and so helpful!

Nachteile

Employees complained about the storage space it took up, but that really is not a huge deal.

Vorteile

Yammer has opened the door to many new connections and collaborations at Oxy. We've been able to create business-unit specific Yammer groups that allow employees from all around the globe to post data, share findings, and collaborate - all in one easy to use place.

Nachteile

There aren't too many cons to Yammer - sometimes you may get too many emails, depending on how many Yammer groups you are subscribed to. But these email preferences can always be changed at your discretion to limit the amount of inbox flooding.

Vorteile

Yammer is a fantastic way for employees from disparate roles to interact and share common interests. Often, these interests can benefit the business just as much as the employees. My favorite Yammer group is the 'Free Courseware' group started by someone who thought it would be great to compile a list of services that range from Coursera to MIT Open Coursework to Alison to W3 Schools.

Nachteile

As a social media-esque software, it relies on users heavily interacting. This can at time be distracting without any real guidance or weigh-in from management. If your leaders don't make a point to engage users on the platform it can quickly become a desert.

Vorteile

I like the facts and functionality is very effective. It fulfil the user need.

Nachteile

The requirement for clearness on how Yammer ought to be utilized makes disarray among our clients. There isn't an agreement viewing whether it ought to act as a continuous, multi-layered center point for discussions or proposition speedy updates and exchange about tasks and collaboration. This has caused trouble in creating publicity about this stage.

Vorteile

First of all, its included with no additional cost on our Microsoft Ofice 365 subscriptions, so no additional expenses. It's very intuitive, nobody needs to be taught how to use it. It has a very simple feature set allowing us to improve our internal collaboration. Thre's now no excuse for not knowing what's happening in the Company. We can easily do simple polls and congratulate our colleagues for any personal o professional accomplishment or event.

Nachteile

Of course, everyone expected it to be a fully functional private facebook, which is not the case, there are a million Faceboo features that don't exist in Yammer, and we don't think we need them at all.
If only, a better interface for uploading bunches of pictures and organize them in albums, since right now we upload only selected pictures one at a time. Or we share links to sharepoint paths.
