Co-Founder
5.0

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.

Eugene L.: Hi, my name's Eugene. I am the owner of a commercial real estate company. We have about five people within our company. And I give Google Workspace five out of five. I used Microsoft Teams before, and where Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace have similar functionality, I just found Google Workspace to be more user-friendly across all my employees in different departments. I chose Google Workspace for my businesses because of how user-friendly it is and how cost-effective it is. Onboarding Google Workspace was actually pretty easy. I started with the email functionality, our main form of communication with both clients and tenants alike with our commercial real estate business. And then, as we worked through that system, we started using the drive. We started using cloud functionality, Google Workspace Docs, spreadsheets, etc. For those of you looking to integrate Google Workspace into your business, I highly recommend making sure that you're aware of how to integrate your website with Google Business and how that works to improve your business, as well as get reviews, etc.
