Workplace from Meta vs Nextdoor: Which is a better fit?

Hendrik V.: Hi, my name is Hendrik. I'm a co-founder and IT specialist at Cloudswork. We are a IT company implementing solutions at different companies, which truly makes you love your work. My star rating out of five is five out of five for Workplace from Meta. The prior solutions that we use were, for instance, Happio, which is a Google linked platform or a platform truly based on the Google platform and building from there, and we used Currents, which is a Google native application. The reason why we started using Workplace From Meta is that it is a application which looks like an app that everybody already knows, let's say, of course, Facebook. By using that application, the engagement within the company is really spiking. Everybody knows how the platform works, knows what to do, and therefore implementing this application is truly easy. Cool. Implementing Workplace From Meta is really easy so there is different linking abilities. For instance, with what we do, mostly is Google Workspace to integrate as your identity provider, which automatically adds your users into the platform, but it's also really easy to get it up and running. It is linking to all the applications within your application environment, and that makes it easier for both the user to use it but as well as for IT to implement it. The recommendation that I have when implementing Workplace From Meta is to really well chart out your application environment within your own company, to make sure that you cover all the integrations that are possible to truly make use of every aspect that the platform will provide you with.

Jason: Hi, my name is Jason. I am a Lieutenant. I give Nextdoor a five out of five. And for more ratings like this, please click below. In my line of work, we're always looking for new and innovative ways to engage with our community. And it's very hard to do based on varying work schedules and just the overall geographic size of our city. Nextdoor allows us to specify and tailor our communication to different neighborhoods and HOAs and parts of the city. It makes it very easy for us to connect with the people that live and work within our community. What I like best about Nextdoor is the ability to narrow and widen your communication to the entire city or to specific groups or neighborhoods within your jurisdiction. The thing I like the least about Nextdoor is pretty much the same with any social media platform. As you engage with your citizens, sometimes this can lead to some distasteful and hate-filled communication between citizens within that group. However, Nextdoor, it's very easy to set restrictions and cut off some of the threads to reduce some of that poor communication between neighbors and citizens.
