    Overlapping Features in Viva Suite Lead to Internal Communication Challenges

    3.0
    May 12, 2026
    Viva Engage is duplicative and causes major confusion for our colleague base about where to go for official internal communications and approved spaces for community building/discussion (i.e., tool sprawl). Viva Connections is helpful to those colleagues who prefer not switching between Teams and web browser to browse SharePoint content, but the added value beyond that isn't really taking hold. Viva Insights is useful, but has limitations on what data is captured and thus doesn't show a complete picture. Viva Learning is probably the most useful of them all, but many orgs have their own preferred platform - so again, there is risk of tool sprawl or tool cannibalization.

Microsoft Viva Likes & Dislikes

Like

Microsoft Viva is packed full of resources and capability. We love that it is integrated within the Microsoft Suite, so employees can navigate between resources. It has become a destination for the things going on throughout the company. We can post shout-outs, events, resource group meetings, resources, etc. all in one space. It really is a streamlined and accessible platform with multiple uses. We even have the ability to post articles and feedback forms directly in the app.

Dislike

Viva Insights is a great tool, in theory. Insights about emails either go into error or are dismissed as not meeting the minimum number of required recipients, when in fact they do qualify. Viva Engage is Teams without guardrails. It leaves open the risk of duplicative or rogue channels being created - by anyone - without any internal oversight and requires double the monitoring.
