Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Microsoft Viva yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Microsoft Viva across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“I'd suggest starting with Culture Amp or Microsoft Viva” MiniMax M2.5 · DEX · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“15Five / Microsoft Viva – performance + engagement tracking and analytics” Muse Glimmer 30B · DEX · paraphrase prompt · alternative

“If you are an Office 365 shop: Look closely at Microsoft Viva.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · DEX · paraphrase prompt · alternative

“If you're in Microsoft ecosystem ... cost-effective add-on to M365” Grok 4.1 Fast · DEX · paraphrase prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Microsoft Viva. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 13 of the 14 answers that named Microsoft Viva and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Microsoft Viva's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Microsoft Viva, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
