Great for posting photos and updates

4.0 2 years ago

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.

Alternatives Considered:

Easy and fun to use

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: I would rate it 10/10. No problems and would recommend people to use it.

Pros:

The best feature is the price, it starts at only $4 per person per month, you can create unlimited number of work groups, ability to highlight posts as important for immediate attention. The best part is auto captioning in videos and I am able to invite people without business email to workplace.

Cons:

There is not much to dislike about Workplace, however I find the news feed section a bit distracting at time and also it would be nice if we can have an option to segment the market better. Other than that it is a very good platform to work on.

Comments: I can say that it is a very enjoyable and practical experience, and I will continue to use this application in the future

Pros:

What I liked most when using this application was the ease of work and conversation, in addition to the ease of saving data, since I am a designer who needs a larger capacity in order to save data.

Cons:

What I did not like about the application is the difficulty of communicating with support and the large capacity when downloading, especially from the iOS system

Familiar yet different

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Its a good tool that integrates with our payroll system/Employee system of record, so it works out well for all non-superusers of that tool. Its easy to navigate with its familiar interface and social networking vibe. We use for internal communications, ERG/SIG creation/management, and cross-division announcements. It works out well.

Cons:

In the way that we use it, we dont use it for messaging (As we still use slack/gchat) and it feels like this workplace tool came out a little to late behind all the big players in messaging/1-1 chats.

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 from meta review

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

The most elevating and positive web-based entertainment stage I have at any point experienced! I love the way simple it is to explore and how everybody utilizing it is made to adhere to rules and I have seen no terrible or unseemly use on here by any means. I love it, it's an exceptionally place of refuge loaded with heaps of information and learning.

Cons:

Labored for a day, presently it crashes on startup and has become unusable. Uninstalling, clearing reserve/information doesn't determine the issue.It occupies an excess of room. It's basically another Facebook, for what reason mightn't there be some sort of module for Facebook so I don't have to have two colossal applications on my phone that are basically identical????

What a great tool it is for office going social. Shift to this platform and it will do wonders

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: I am quite satisfied withe platform. Seems like a modern way to do your work and keep yourself updated in a more fancy way

Pros:

News feed is among the best feature and i like it the most. It gives you updates about your colleagues and the new stuff that happens on day to day basis

Cons:

Notifications. it distracts you while you work. I like to have the social media controlled and not disturbing all the time with notifications & email. Again it is my personal preference. It has nothing to do with what other people think about this feature

Work at your own pace

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: There's a lot of benefits I get from this product and that is free and very helpful for me, easy to use and I didn't even have to use any other products. It's everything I needed and it's really good for me in my work and business. I'm so thankful for this app because it helped me a lot.

Pros:

The most feature that's really helpful for me was the real-time chat because I get to connect to my clients and friends, family and that is very important just like your phones. This product has helped me a lot and been using it for years and now it has been great help to me.

Cons:

I think there's no feature that's difficult to use or any other kind of issues. There maybe some features that's rarely used or not that necessary for the product but I will be depending on how or what will work for you. For me, it's been very useful to me with my work and business.
