I didn't like its connection to all the other meta advertisment features.

A relatively simple and cheap tool, but you get what you pay (or don't) for

3.0 last year

Comments: Meh, it's not the worst thing in the world but it seems like there are far better options out there. While meta is the best for integrating Facebook, I feel learning to use other apps will be far more useful in the long term.

Pros:

Meta benefits from the key features of Facebook, so those familiar with that platform will have a fairly easy time navigating. This integration also allows one to benefit from existing social media profiles and connections and integrate them.

Cons:

It feels pretty cumbersome to use, with lots of options and features being buried under various features. It also comes with lots of bugs, with some posts not appearing, messages going missing or accounts being restricted arbitrarily. I lost access to one side of a business as it decided a user needed to verify their account through means that hadn't been set-up, so it could not be saved.

Pros:

As the company Meta has other products in their sleeves, the connection of the Workplace to the other products is quite smooth and can be easily accessed

Cons:

One con is the lack improvement of UI as it can be quite daunting for newcomers to use

Great for posting photos and updates

4.0 last year

Pros:

Since the UI is very similar to Facebook, it was very easy for employees to learn to use it, including for those with low digital literacy. I also like that it makes it very easy to post and share updates with the whole org.

Cons:

One on one or small group communication was harder since a separate workchat app had to be installed.

Good Business platform to use

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

I like the fact it keeps all my project information, tasks, business contacts, business information, social media information and accounts together and manageable and in one app. Also has a built in chat as well as allows you to message and video conference my employees and my clients as well.

Cons:

There really isn't anything off the top of my head that I didn't like except as always i think it could be priced a little lower for subscriptions.

Workplace Platform For Business

4.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Facebook's Workplace is a useful tool for the workplace that enables us to maintain contact with our team or other employees. The nice thing about this platform is that it resembles the Facebook social media platform, so I can use it right away and no further training is needed to operate it. The Workplace by Facebook platform allows for complete customization; I am even able to alter the URL, which will be used by anybody who opens it. The procedure of customisation is also simple. My favourite creative features of this platform are the ones that allow me to have live video chats with members of my team, my group, or anybody else in the company.

Cons:

I despise this particular feature of this platform since the news feed occasionally causes issues. Even when I press the refresh button, it sometimes displays me the old postings. This problem also occurs on the mobile application.

This saves time, especially if you're someone who manages multiple projects or someone who needs to be readily available to numerous people.

Cons:

Chat transcripts and chat history can be tricky to find.

Workplace from Meta, another good and fun option for communicating in your organization

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: It's a new and amazing way to keep everybody in your organization communicated, connected and feel part of not just a workplace but a community, this because of the way the platform is made that looks as other social media channel.

Pros:

Workplace is easy to set up profiles of the people at your organization, works as another social media platform but with the idea of making working places more as a community and the communication easier.

Cons:

There are so many options that Workplace from Meta has that we, as an organization, haven't explored yet, but probably one day.
