Buyers wanting people-analytics-as-reporting (Visier, Crunchr, One Model fit), non-Microsoft 365 shops (limited value), or buyers concerned about employee-monitoring optics.
Microsoft 365 E5 enterprises wanting collaboration and productivity telemetry from Outlook and Teams, with explicit privacy-policy review before rollout.
Why we say this
Editorial pulled these weaknesses from Microsoft Viva Insights’s product card in our Top 10 People Analytics Software for 2026:
- ! Privacy posture warrants scrutiny (employee-monitoring concerns)
- ! Not a people-analytics-as-reporting tool
- ! Works best inside Microsoft 365 (limited value outside)
- ! Rebranded from MyAnalytics 2021; positioning shifted multiple times
- ! Manager insights have been pared back after employee pushback
