What do you like best about Viva Insights?

I most appreciate the ability to reflect on how well my plan for the week was accomplished. Shorter interruptions to focus time and more organized meetings reinforce that my plan is working. When first using Viva, I could use the s tatistics to determine where I needed to tune my plan the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viva Insights?

Some of the user inputs could be a little more flexible. Setting a consistent time to reflect may work for some people, but the variability of my day to day schedule means some of my personal reflections are missed because I was unable to use the notification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Viva Insights solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reinforcing the parts of my plan that are working and outlining the parts that need work. Automatically moving my focus block makes sure I always have the time to get to the most intensive tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Viva Insights?

I love the ability to schedule daily focus time into your calendar. The program automatically adds two hours per day of focus time where I don't have meetings, and it sets my Teams status to "focusing" where calls and messages are silenced. So the integration into my normal work environment is very smooth.

I also love the headspace feature with easy access to music — my favorite is the "Lo-Fi times."

In addition, Insights tracks some helpful data like how much time I spent collaborating with coworkers versus being available for focus time.

As someone who struggles to focus without structure, Insights helps me every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viva Insights?

While it's easy to book focus time from the home screen quickly, I wish there was more flexibility in changing the times before you book them. For example, today the app recommended adding focus time from 12 pm to 1 pm, but I don't have any meetings until 2 pm. I would rather schedule an hour between 1 pm and 2 pm and still have time for lunch. But the only way I know to change this is by just booking the recommended slot and manually changing it in my calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Viva Insights solving and how is that benefiting you?

Viva Insights helps employees set aside specific time for uninterrupted work, which benefits our well-being and increases efficiency for our clients. It also gives me good insight into my work habits, provides "permission" to unplug for a bit and just focus on heads-down work, and promotes a more balanced work environment, especially as I work from home.

What do you dislike about Viva Insights?

The implementation of Viva Insights needs to be transparent and communicate clearly about how the data will be used. Lack of transparency can erode trust among employees. There is a risk that organizations may prioritize quantity metrics (e.g., time spent on tasks) over qualitative aspects of work, potentially undervaluing creativity, innovation, and strategic thinking.

When working with Microsoft 365, Viva insights are greatly integrated and are great for exploring the time spent which eventually helps to get a clearer idea of the work pattern, great implementation of headspace in Viva insights to meditate after working hours and disconnect which is more than useful and helpful.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Viva Insights?

Visa Insights tool can be a real game changer for developers like me, with viva insights it helps me manage my time, set focused work hours, and gain analytics of how I work how much time I have to work. How much of time does meetings take away. Hours spent on messaging. Reminding me to take a rest every 20 mins. It is actually a great personal coach with timely reminders each and every day. It literally helps me to take control of my time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viva Insights?

Although Time management and analytics can be helpful, there are a few aspects I want to see improved. The reminder for taking breaks although helpful but I feel is too frequent. Plus I do not see options for customization. The UI is not user friendly setting my time for focusing for the first time literally took me about 20 - 25 mins. User Friendly viva insights is something I really wish to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Viva Insights solving and how is that benefiting you?

Viva Insights tackles most common challenges I face as a software developer. It does help me manage my time effectively showing the numbers of hours how it was used, so I can prioritize my tasks better. Highlighting the time spent in meetings and messaging, is often helpful. Reminding me to take breaks, promoting work life balance is truly appreciable. Analytics help me understand my work patterns and wherein it helps me make appropriate adjustments and boost my productivity. Viva Insights help me be a more efficient in my work.

What do you like best about Viva Insights?

Number of features: I use Viva Insights to show me what my communication, meeting, and focus time habits currently are. This provides me with the opportunity to change those habits for the better if I see a pattern I wish to alter. The result is that this makes me aware of how to make the most of my work and computer time productive.

Ease of Use: Viva Insights is very easy to use. For me it runs in the background and I don't even notice that it is there. It is non-intrusive to my daily work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Viva Insights?

It's hard enough managing tasks without a barrage of emails coming through and pushing the tasks further down the list, Viva insights really helps you out by pointing out important people and follow up emails based on the responses in those emails and how much you liaise with them. I also really like the meetings run down and the prep time, because it's Microsoft it integrates with Teams out the box and everyone else knows what's going on from your Teams status. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viva Insights?

Like all systems that aren't a human reading an email, Viva get's it wrong sometimes and flags emails that have already been dealt with or important people who you've only spoken to a few times and not others who are regular. I think being able to have a bit more control from the start of who and what is important or even a new option like "flagged" but " Viva" or somthing and it could learn better what needs following up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Viva Insights solving and how is that benefiting you?

Organisation and work balance, although I don't personally use the focus time feature, I know a lot of users who do and find it really helpful. They've found it helps with making sure they are not distracted or disturbed by group chats or unnessary pop ups. A lot of users I know don't even know what Viva Insights is and when I've showed them, they're hooked and loving it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
