Microsoft Viva Microsoft Viva: AI Visibility Report

microsoft.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about employee engagement & experience, Microsoft Viva ranks #7 of 15, a Visibility Score of 18 in Employee Engagement & Experience (and appears in 2 categories of the index).

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

How AI sees Microsoft Viva

Niche foothold in engagement; irrelevant to knowledge buyers.

Where it wins. In Employee Engagement, Viva reaches a 21% mention rate and converts nearly 10% of those to first picks, holding a respectable rank 7 against 14 competitors.

Where it loses. In Docs and Knowledge Management it sits dead last with a 1.4% first-pick rate and is absent from six of the highest-intent prompt themes, meaning buyers who know what they want never see it recommended.
