Microsoft Viva Glint is Microsoft's employee engagement and employee voice tool, part of the Microsoft Viva employee experience suite. Built from the former Glint platform, it helps organisations run engagement and pulse surveys, visualise results in clear dashboards, and surface insights and recommended actions for managers and HR. Integrated with Microsoft 365 and Teams, it brings engagement listening into the Microsoft ecosystem many organisations already use, so surveys, insights and action planning sit alongside the everyday tools of work. For Microsoft centric organisations, Viva Glint is the natural engagement choice.
Microsoft Viva Glint's distinction is combining proven engagement survey and insight capabilities, from Glint, with deep Microsoft 365 and Viva integration. It offers clear dashboards and strong insight into engagement, delivered within the Microsoft ecosystem, so organisations on Microsoft get listening that connects to Teams and the wider Viva suite. That ecosystem fit, plus solid survey and dashboard quality, make it a leading choice for Microsoft users.
Microsoft Viva Glint is best for organisations in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem that want engagement and pulse surveys with clear dashboards and insights, integrated with Teams and Viva. It suits enterprises standardised on Microsoft. It is a weaker fit for companies not using Microsoft, where Culture Amp or Workday Peakon may fit better, or those whose main goal is recognition rather than measurement, where Workhuman, Bonusly or Nectar fit.
The core strengths are engagement and pulse surveys, clear dashboards and reporting, and insights with recommended actions for managers, built on Glint's proven approach. Viva Glint offers lifecycle surveys, benchmarking, and deep integration with Microsoft 365, Teams and the Viva suite. Its clear insight dashboards, proven survey capability, and Microsoft ecosystem fit are its defining advantages for Microsoft centric organisations.
Microsoft Viva Glint is offered through Microsoft Viva, typically as part of a Viva suite or specific Viva plan licensed per user per month, rather than standalone public pricing, and is often bundled with or added to Microsoft 365 agreements. Costs depend on the Viva licensing chosen and your Microsoft relationship. Organisations should check current Viva plans and pricing. Details are via the Microsoft Viva Glint page.
Viva Glint's ecosystem is Microsoft: it integrates with Microsoft 365, Teams and the broader Viva employee experience suite, so engagement listening connects to where people work and to other Viva modules like Insights and Learning. This deep Microsoft integration, bringing engagement into the everyday Microsoft environment, is central to its value for Microsoft centric organisations.
A core strength, carried from Glint, is clear insight: dashboards that make engagement results easy to understand, with recommended actions that help managers respond. For organisations that want engagement data to lead to action rather than sit in reports, this focus on clear insight and manager guidance, within Microsoft, is a key reason to choose Viva Glint.
Viva Glint is praised for ease of use and clear dashboards, with its Microsoft integration making it familiar for Microsoft users, backed by Microsoft support. Its G2 reviews highlight clear insights and usability, with its value being greatest inside the Microsoft ecosystem the main consideration for non Microsoft organisations.
For organisations in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem that want engagement and pulse surveys with clear dashboards and insights integrated with Teams and Viva, Microsoft Viva Glint is an excellent, natural choice. The main caution is that its value is greatest within Microsoft, so organisations not on Microsoft may prefer Culture Amp or Workday Peakon, and recognition focused companies may prefer Workhuman, Bonusly or Nectar.
