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 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.

Cons There is nothing I currently dislike about the software product it has been great! Review Source Michal M. Internal Communications Lead Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Indispensable internal communications tool" April 29, 2022 4.0 It's a polished online communications platform which is easy to use. At Vodafone it's our workhorse platform for internal communications, and does a great job day to day. Pros Workplace enables us to have meaningful dialogue with colleagues rather than just one-way publishing of corporate news. It does everything a social network should in a tried and tested interface that most users are immediately familiar with. Broadcasting video to the platform works well, too. Cons Compared to the more 'modern' social networks like Instagram and TikTok content mostly needs to be created off-platform before it is uploaded. Templates / widgets and similar functionalities would further simplify using it. Sometimes key functionalities (such as video viewer statistics) are taken off air for extended periods without much of a warning (though admittedly to improve the service in the end).

Pros Workplace from meta is pretty much similar to Meta software user Interface.Workplace from meta provides video conferencing ,collab tools which makes to coordinate with team members easily and effectively.The audio and video quality is at the notch when compared to other tools in the market. Cons Workplace from meta is great platform for business growth while if its support system is little more responsive it will be great platform.I think response from the support centre is quiet a time consuming process which makes delay in all other activities of the business.

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. Review Source MM Md M. Corporate Affairs Manager Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workplace by Facebook helping the business to stay connected and on track" January 21, 2022 5.0 Workplace by Facebook is used across the organization I work for. The main purpose of the inclusion of this software was a collaborative and always communicated team for better integrity and good business results. In our company, we achieved this with the easiest amazing software Workplace by Facebook. Pros Workplace by Facebook is very much easy to use and user friendly having the availability in handsets and computer. I like the following features of this application - I. Instant and real time messaging II. Dedicated groups III. Updated and real time news feed IV. Screen and file sharing with the colleagues V. Audio and video calling features Cons Workplace by Facebook is an amazing software but it can improve in terms of prudent update in the news feed. Review Source Etta R. Chief Technology Officer Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A whole new way of permitting people to be the part of prevailing technology by working together. " May 6, 2020 5.0 Truly speaking, Workplace by Facebook is a professional version empowering people to construct a team and achieve everything through internal communication. Pros Workplace by Facebook is a platform that is built in application by Facebook. It enables multiple users to connect with each other by assembling groups chats, supporting video calls. It entitles instant messaging and live streaming as well. Live video calling is its enthralling feature so that people can broadcast live straight through their devices. This system is meticulously planned to allow legion-company collaborations with outside teams and partners. Workplace gives people an opportunity to work on common task to attain their goals. It's auto-translation feature has made life much easier that helps people to understand more wisely. This platform builds motivates and promotes people to work in harmony. It's easy to use and a user-friendly platform with troubled-free interface. Cons Concisely, Workplace by Facebook offers multiple options to work in a more advanced fashion but show some stumbling blocks. It can make group chats for only upto fifty colleagues and not more, thus causing problem for mass. More over sometimes it also generates spam contents which is a complete wastage of time. Also no tracking system is installed in there to keep a record of tasks and projects. Along with this, sharing off the record information and documentations on this platform is a bit doubtful.

Content Moderator Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workplace from Meta Review " September 6, 2022 5.0 As an overall, the platform handle my needed and make me satisfied. Pros It's easy , free and the most beautiful is that the management of the work team. The UI is amazing and clear without any complication. Cons The most disadvantage on it is the huge notifications that you get by default even if you don't follow someone maybe you will get a notification about his livestream or anything , except if you block him or change the settings. Review Source Joseric M. Project Manager Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Facebook app that is meant for work and productivity (not for wasting time)" August 10, 2018 5.0 Facebook as a social platform has matured a lot, with so many features available for communication and collaboration. It's no wonder why billions of people use it. Now, these same features are made available for our professional work. It's fantastic! Pros I used Workplace when I volunteered on a project c/o a non-for-profit organization. We used it primarily as a Project Management tool to keep everyone in the loop for project planning, collaboration, execution, monitoring, and getting instant feedback. I have a personal Facebook account, and Workplace works in exactly the same way. We created Groups for our project teams. From there we could share files, make posts, create a common calendar, etc. What I loved the most is the use of the chat app for IM, voice and video calls. The live streaming is fantastic as well because we were able to cover our event, stream it live and keep a recording of it for future use. Cons For some of my teammates, they did not want the idea of having to maintain and look at two accounts (one personal/social and the other for work). Not sure if there is a way to connect the two accounts so that some of the posts/etc may be in sync. The mobile app is a bit clunky and updates quite often. I hope they create a "Lite" version similar to the Facebook app (esp for lighter data consumption and light on the smartphone requirements). Review Source Xola K.

Pros Meta workspace allows you to work from home, it helps you manage your communication between different co-workers. It also links to your meta business suite allowing smooth work flow between all meta apps. Cons I didn't like its connection to all the other meta advertisment features. Review Source KG Kreasan G.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Associate Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Facebook - Always stay connected." September 16, 2022 5.0 This feature is absolutely great, helps us effectively communicate with the members and Pros The best thing is most of your family members, friends and relatives are already joined that makes it reliable source of communication. you can send instant messages, video chat, increase sales, learn new ideas for business and self growth. Cons The least I like is that Facebook is very addictive it feel disconnected with the world if you don't use it for a few days. Reason for choosing Workplace from Meta It is a n effective tool and can't be compared with others. I have tried other apps but they didn't work as good as this one. Review Source RH Reymond H. Digital Marketing and Research Specialist Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Workplace by Facebook Overall Experience" May 5, 2020 4.0 Overall, we have a place where a group can work together and can have their meetings on their own. Easy messaging in case someone is not around. However, not all people or countries really familiarize this tool. It still needs more push to make the company employees use the platform rather than using others. Pros Personally, as Digital Marketing who is knowledgeable with different types of platforms, I really like it. However, some of my colleagues who are Saudis does not like Facebook and workplace features almost the same as regular Facebook. Overall looks and design are very user friendly. Cons Yes. The translation. Since this is for business applications, I think it makes sense that the messaging through workplace chat should have a feature for auto-translate. If this can be done, many none users of workplace will have to use the workplace to communicate with the team. It could break the barrier of language deficiency. Integration really is not so good, especially when creating chatbots or linking it to tasks scheduler. Reason for choosing Workplace from Meta I defended to use Workplace because of the familiarity of the settings and user friendly that I thought many of our colleagues will use and benefits. I expected they will play around the feature of messaging rather than using WhatsApp but I guess they focused on easy access and mobile number integrated on the platform automatically. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Bancassurance Sales Executive Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Facebook for Elites/Professionals" April 2, 2021 4.0 I've been skeptical on accepting friend requests from my Personal facebook account before because I don't want to involve them on my personal life, but when I discovered Facebook Workplace I can now connect to them with ease. If a colleague adds me on Facebook, I would just say that we should transfer on Facebook Workplace, and they would agree instantly. Of course not all of them has FB Workplace account but I try to convince them to have it as much as possible . Pros What I like the most about it is it sets aside personal facebook account to workplace facebook account, so the post and interaction is limited to professional and much more decided activities. Also you can still browse facebook but in a more premium like version, lesser toxic posts. It's like LinkedIn connects. Cons Users are a lot lesser than actual Facebok itself, also some professionals prefer not to use any social media at all even for professional use. Maybe the developers need to advertise Facebook Workplace in a more broader way so that it can attract more users. Review Source DM Dezeray M. Concierge Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workplace Review" January 16, 2024 5.0 Pros I like that it is a separate social platform, specifically for work. Cons I have no complaints. It works great for what I use it for. Sharing business information, outings and achievements.
