Pros Workplace is the best app for communication in an office. We can post things just like on Facebook. We can chat with colleagues. We can see profiles of other colleagues. Cons It took some time to load Workplace compared to other apps. I don't know why, but the loading time was not that great. Review Source KB Kurt B. Procurement and Training Facilitation Manager Utilities Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workplace Meta - Review" April 16, 2025 4.0 Overall experience with Workplace was good. Pros Workplace felt friendly having used Facebook for many years. Cons Some features were harder to use than i felt they should of been. Alternatives considered [Connecteam](https://www.capterra.com/p/153140/Connecteam/) Reason for choosing Workplace from Meta We didn't choose Workplace over. We considered Connecteam after using Workplace and made a switch. Review Source JM Jaimie M. CEO Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workplace was Good while it lasted" April 16, 2025 3.0 Good while it lasted. Transfered to using to Connecteam when Workplace was discontinued Pros Was easy to use - followed the Facebook process. Users didn't need to be trained how to use, Cons Shut down. Some of the features like Knowledge base were hard to use. Needed a Global Search to filter consent like a website. Alternatives considered [Connecteam](https://www.capterra.com/p/153140/Connecteam/) Reason for choosing Workplace from Meta Was simple for the end user as so similar to facebook Review Source Hafizah S. Assistant Manager Business Development Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Space for collaborating with colleague" May 26, 2021 4.0 Pros The fact that i can use the same account that i have with Facebook to accessing the workplace tools is really amazing and cutting unnecessary step to registering with this software. Adding people that has already on my friend list to the work group is really simple. Apart from the video call feature that are available here, we also use the project management feature for our simple daily project. Cons The easy access to the Facebook news feed keep distracting me from my works for hours. It also gives a bad perspective from other people when we are opening the sites as this software is commonly associate as a platform for social media and people may thing that we are playing around on working hours even when we are using it for work related stuff. Switched from [Twitter/X](https://www.capterra.com/p/214056/Twitter/) Twitter is quite fun to use but no space for working related stuff. Review Source Dilraj S. Sr. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Facebook .. for work :)" July 20, 2019 5.0 Overall experience was very good. Workplace was like a really cool place for different team members to discuss daily office work rather than using some mundane office software. Pros The workplace is actually social networking for work. Its really convenient to use across the company and different team members can be tagged for any work to be assigned to them. The workplace posts can be directed to all the team members for passing on the vital information and discussions on the topic can be done using the comments section, just like the Facebook. The team events can be shared live on the platform also along with other facebook features available like chat etc. Cons The overall experience with software was really good but the one thing which is missing is keeping track of the tasks assigned to different team members by tagging them in a post. Switched from [Slack](https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/) Workplace provided much more visibility to different threads and discussions. The data was much better organised and it was easier to look for archived data. Review Source A.L. M. Cofounder Writing and Editing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Function Workspace for Teams" September 26, 2019 4.0 Overall, Workplace did what we needed it to do and provided us with a functional, no-frills communication board to organize our projects. Pros What I like most about Workspace was the ease of communicating with entire teams set up based on individual projects. It allowed for a better workflow inside teams and from one team to the next. Cons What I liked least was the very limited features and the inability to have basic admin controls without upgrading. Removing nonactive team members was difficult and created a bit of an issue. Alternatives considered [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/)[monday.com AI Work Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Reason for choosing Workplace from Meta We chose it because it's simplicity made it easier to get all of our staff in one place. Management would have liked a program with more functionality but this was a good compromise. Switched from [Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) We had a hard time getting everyone to the watering hole at Asana, so to speak. Workplace being a Facebook product felt more familiar to our team members and therefore they found it easier to use. Review Source KN Kubentheran N.

We didnt use them enough. Pros Ot had all the features we required within the business, which included in app video calls. The communications features were really good. Cons Not much to complain about. We really used the communications suite extensively, and we used every part of it. Review Source SK Susan K. Office Manager-Admin Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WorkPlace - for small company with crews off site" July 24, 2025 4.0 Great - other than no actual human to help with issues. Wish it was not going away. So sad about this. Pros Ease of use and great on computer and mobile device. Creating groups for each project and then being able to archive when done but not lose anything Cons That it went away. The suggested replacement was not right for us - too expensive. Sad it is going away. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer LVT Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very Helpful Communication!" May 26, 2025 5.0 Pros Works instantly for communication with company and individuals. Helpful to know certain updates and for quick chats that don't need to be emails Cons I wish you could turn on notifications only during work hours. I ended up shutting them all off and just checking a lot. Review Source NN Noah N. Marketing Manager Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Marketing Manager" February 13, 2025 3.0 It was fine. It worked as needed, but wasn't my favorite product to use. Pros It was easy to use and implement with users. Cons There were two separate apps for the feed and instant messaging. Review Source ZK Zee K.

September 26, 2024 4.0 I enjoying using Workplace from Meta, I enjoy Meta and they've made a nice workplace system to use, it is easy to navigate once you've used it more then once. Pros It is easy to navigate, the page itself is clear and helpful when using this software. Cons When loggin in the first time as a new user I found it annoying and a pain to upload, but once you get used it, it gets easier. Review Source DO Donald O. Executive Technical Director Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Robust Tool for Effective Communication " July 12, 2024 5.0 Overall, my experience is remarkable with Workplace from Meta. Pros Workplace from Meta is the main tool for internal communications in my organization. It like how it boost performance by alerting members of new and upcoming events.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Digital Executive Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "What a great tool it is for office going social. Shift to this platform and it will do wonders" July 8, 2022 5.0 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 Review Source sK shubham K. Transcriptor Writing and Editing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Its just another Facebook which is only made for work , having rich tools and work related features" November 29, 2022 4.0 The overall experience is really amazing. when covid came and we all were working from home , this software worked as a support to the whole organization . our whole company worked on workplace . and we didn't even felt that we were working from home. So a great thumbs up to meta for creating such a great companion Pros The one thing I like about it is that its very easy to use , and its functions are very similar to Facebook , so as everyone know that how to use Facebook then they can easily adapt it . Cons one thing i liked least about it and which i need meta to improve is their android app , the app used to work nice earlier but after an update it is having issues but i hope that meta will solve the problems in next updates.

I will continue to use Workplace from Meta and i will continue to recomend it to any and all my friends, family, and neighbors. Cons Really when i sit and think about Workplace from Meta i really cant think of anything i dislike about it. I mean although my opinion could possibly change as i use it more and more as my business picks up and takes off completely. Review Source Md M. Business Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Facebook is my work assistant and retirement partner." February 8, 2020 4.0 Of the 7.53 billion people in the world today, 2.4 billion people use Facebook, so there's nothing more to say about Facebook's popularity. Apart from the higher educated people, the less educated people can use Facebook very easily and this is why news of one place in the world spreads to other places. The news that popular media can't promote is on Facebook. Pros Facebook has taken a big leap as a social media platform. Facebook is deeply embedded in our daily lives. The importance of Facebook in the workplace is immense, so the work can be easily shared by the team. Currently Facebook is a large marketplace, with more subscribers, the advertisement is easily visible in the eyes of the people. Facebook has become such a friend of the people, that it can be easily shared with everyone on the timeline, regardless of the hardships and pleasures of the mind. Many lost friends of school life are found through Facebook. Audio calling In addition to the video calling facility, live chat can be shared with everyone. Cons Facebook has a lot of negative effects that are unknown to anyone. Facebook is considered a drug addiction, the boys and girls of the current generation are spoiling their education while chatting on Facebook. The illiterate people confuse others with irrelevant pictures on Facebook they do not understand. If the device is not secured, private files can be easily viewed by anyone and can delete important images, One of the major problems is that the photos uploaded to Facebook become much smaller than before. Review Source Alvaro M. Account Manager Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "No training needed... everybody knows Facebook!" July 10, 2018 5.0 Facebook for the office (i.e., via Workplace) has helped our company in terms of community and culture building, communication, collaboration, keeping up to date with the happenings across different departments and teams, messaging via direct chat, group chat, audio, video calls... there's a ton of features that make this a really worth it investment for any company big or small. Pros Almost everyone (except the rather super senior employees) have been using Facebook social media app... They know how it works, its functionalities, and benefits for keeping in touch with the people that matter to them... now, we have exactly the same app.. for use in the office workplace. Therefore, no training needed. Everyone on-board right away. Workplace replaced many of our internal apps (repositories, messaging, collaboration portal, etc). We now use workplace for community building, direct and group/project messaging, sharing of files, photos, and updates, audio and video calls, and live streaming of office events (which also serve as a recording device for late viewing). Everything you love about social Facebook, now available for exclusive work and office use. Cons Data security is and will always be a concern for the modern digital man. Although we know that this is a paid service, hence the data is supposed to be private and secure because it is not meant to be used for ads, and what not... Security, especially of recent, is always a big question mark and concern. Review Source CO Chelsea O. Realtor Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Work specific social media" October 11, 2022 4.0 Literally love the referral group that is on my Workplace- allows me to ask for an agent in a specific area or lend my services to other agents looking in my MLS. Easy peasy. Pros This place is a great way to get information while also staying focused. Instead of logging onto Facebook to try and find one person's specific post about a certain training, article, etc., Workplace allows you to access things within your field of expertise while also having fellow industry professionals at your finger tips - and no distraction of the normal social media experience. Cons Seriously, I have no chief complaints on this program. If you are a Facebook user, this is a no-brainer. Easy to navigate and manage! Review Source Mohit S. Business Development Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Platform For Collaboration " December 8, 2022 4.0 We used it to solve the problem of internal communication and to establish a space for improved team collaboration. It gives tools that assist in team coordination. Pros Its feature is very similar to Facebook, thus it is very simple to use. Also, I enjoy how the platform can be used for meetings and group calls. The finest feature for me was its good user experience and the vast number of people who could participate in the video conference. Cons There is nothing I dislike about it, but tagging colleagues in posts to keep track of the activities assigned to them is still insufficient. Review Source Daniel B. Deputy Provost Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent" August 16, 2022 5.0 Excellent Pros Ive been using sing 2009, and I still fund it more engaging than ever as new features are added occasionally. I love the video reels... It takes me off YouTube most times. Cons I don't like the fact that the app delays in notifications... This needs to be improved on Review Source Clarwin C. IT Services Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Facebook for the office!" April 2, 2018 5.0 All the features of a personal Facebook account are now available for office use! Communication - best for instant messaging, voice and video calls, even live-streaming of our events. Company-wide announcements are now easy to post and even track who's viewed each post. Notifications via email are also helpful to remind 'inactive' people to log-in to Workplace and keep updated via posts and their wall. Collaboration - we can easily create groups as shared workspaces for project work. Culture-building - since we used this app, we experienced an increase in employee engagement. People started sharing all kinds of stuff (mostly work related, but sometimes even non-work-related like outings, birthdays, etc). Pros Workplace is like a clone of Facebook. And since almost everyone in the office has a personal Facebook account, there is very little (to none) on-boarding needed to deploy this app into our entire organization. We are a non-profit organization and so the best part of this is that Facebook offered this product to us Free of charge! All the features of Facebook work great for office use (e.g., creating groups, instant messaging, video and calls, sharing pictures, videos and files) Workplace also allows us to connect with external vendors who have Workplace in their companies. Works great for project implementations. Cons This is cloud-based and all data is stored on Facebook servers in the cloud. If you are wary of Data Privacy, just make sure to review the privacy notice, and terms of use. Review Source Henry Y. Systems Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "excellent platform" February 1, 2024 5.0 It is a tool where teamwork is more uniform and where collaboration on our intranet is more noticeable with the help of others and the perspective of work is broader. Pros I loved this platform from the beginning, it's like having Facebook but corporate where we can all have closer communication and thus be aware of all the important news of the company, it is super easy to use with excellent functions to work more together and collaboratively seeing results of a higher and more efficient production. Cons nothing that I dislike at all, it is so perfect that I love everything and when they make their updates I like it more Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly Recommend Workplace from Meta" November 12, 2023 5.0 Since using Workplace from Meta it’s been convenient for my company; team.
