Thanks to its similiarity with Facebook Messenger it is easy to use even for people who are not very good with computers. The chat is usually working quite well and it is suitable even for online meetings. I appreciate the option to ad profile picture, description and pin message in group chats. It helps us a lot. For the other function, we briefly use also classic groups and notes which works good as well. Cons Meta is unfortunately known for not having the stablest software so there are sometimes problems. But they are not occuring very often so most of the time we are quite satisfied with using it. We have a lot of chats and group conversations and it is not possible to make my own folders/labels for them which is pity, it would help a lot. Switched from [Microsoft Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/168668/Microsoft-Teams/) Microsoft Teams was lagging for some of our teammates so we needed to find another platform for team communication. We tried few options but Workplace suited us best. Review Source REM Raquel Esther M.

Fue muy útil para que los empleados estuviéramos conectados a pesar de no estar en nuestros puestos físicamente. También sirvió para reflejar, animar y contener a los equipos y el chat permitía que nos viéramos las caras por video llamada aún antes de que implementamos Teams en algunos sectores. En mi empresa somos muchos y hay distintos sectores que se ocupan de distintos segmentos y esta red nos permite estar al tanto de toda la info que cada sector quiere compartir. Es muy positiva la experiencia Pros El formato es intuitivo y similar al Facebook así que la mayoría se familiariza de una forma rápida. Funciona como red social así que si uno es adicto a las redes sociales está en línea todo el tiempo y al igual que en Facebook se pueden seguir los usuarios y tener el seguimiento de la info que le interese al empleado. También tiene una opción de cargar la info, links y archivos de todos los sectores de la empresa así que sirve también como una gran herramienta de consulta no solo una red social. Cons Si uno no le pone límites a las notificaciones, cómo toda red social puede ser invasiva en el tiempo personal Review Source Ahmed A.

This is best of employee engagement as well Cons Nothing is least like because easy to use and access 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.

Marketing Content Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Bizarro Facebook" October 8, 2018 4.0 What if Facebook was streamlined to essentials and free of excessive fat? That's Workplace. For a long time Facebook was a leisure outlet on the workplace - the one for wasting time and getting lost in-between tasks. With Workplace the dynamics had flipped and now it is a legitimate productivity tool where you can chat with your colleagues, exchange ideas, drop some stuff and discuss serious matters without distracting yourself to everything else in your newsfeed. Pros Workplace combines the best features of Facebook, Slack and Basecamp and makes a case of a private social media application designed for productive communication and not time wasting. It works really well as a company's general newsfeed and it allows to bond the collective in a more easy-going and informal manner. On one hand, Workplace is a perfect working environment for human resources - streamlined, self-contained and direct. It really helps to establish solid internal Employer Branding and keep every member of the team on the same page. There are numerous features that allow various temperature checks of the teams via polls, discussions, etc. On the other hand, Workplace is a really good fit for onboarding of the new team members. Cons Since this is a Facebook product - there are certain concerns over privacy. When it comes to sharing some sensitive data - actions often proceed in a more trusted environments. On the other hand, there is just too much of the stuff to do. The novelty of "Facebook but for work" wears off pretty fast and it makes Workplace more of a gimmick tool than an actual productivity tool. As it often happen with Facebook newsfeed - it might get crowded and cluttered after a while, especially if the activity is relatively high. Aside from project related groups - it is often nothing more than a link dumpster. 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 Ravinder B. Consultant Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workplace - A tool to build strong culture and collaboration among employees" December 23, 2019 5.0 Our HR system used Workplace by Facebook for polling purposes, to send notifications, for transparency, culture building and to keep employees stay connected just like Facebook. So far, the response is good from the employee side. Pros Workplace by Facebook is an app similar to Facebook but meant for work, productivity and to keep employees stay connected. Its layout is like Facebook, so very convenient to use without going through any training. It allows you to form groups basis on departments, projects or organizational hierarchy. Groups can be used for sharing files, feedback or polls. Messaging feature allows you to chat in groups, one-to-one using text, audio or video. One of the best features is language translation support for 46 languages as of now. So, if someone sends you a text in a different language, Workplace translates it then and there for you into your native language. Other popular features include viewing updates from people similar to newsfeed in Facebook, live video broadcasting of announcements, training and meetings, videoconferencing and screen share up to 50 people. Easy integration of Workplace with software such as Office 365, Dropbox, SurveyMonkey and G Suite makes it a useful app on office environment. Cons Workplace comes in different pricing options including Essential, Advanced and Enterprise, so choose wisely depending upon the features you need. Even the highest-paid version allows you to perform group video call up to 50 people. Notification can be annoying and cause a distraction from your usual work.

Pros J'ai particulièrement apprécié dans ce logiciel, la facilité de communication avec les amis et le fait d'avoir plus d'informations sur le profil d'une personne.

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 Rosi S.

Pros Eu utilizo o Workplace e recomendo para todos que desejam gerenciar o tempo e promover uma dinâmica com foco em conteúdos de qualidade. Cons Não tenho d que reclamar sobre Workplace e recomendo a todos que desejam uma metodologia de sucesso. Review Source Maryam Z. Freelancer Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review for Workplace from Meta" July 9, 2022 4.0 Overall, Workplace from Meta is easiest way to communicate and it is recommended. Pros It is a business communication tool through which people connect with each other. It is life-saving for those businesses in which boss, trainees and employees want to communicate through video calls, instant messaging, etc. It is reliable and sustainable. I have been using it since so long and I am loving its features. Cons The layout of Workplace from Meta may be difficult to understand for newbies. Also, it does not save personal information for later use. 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 CC Corrado C.

Contador Accounting Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Avaliação do Workplace" August 2, 2023 5.0 Minha experiência geral é ótima, como sou mais velho eu sei que é muito bom ter algum meio mais fácil de fazer esse networking Pros O que mais gostei foi poder me organizar e ter um local de fazer networking Cons O que menos gostei é as funcionalidades, acho que poderia ter mais ferramentas profssionais. Review Source Saira Y. Automation Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Saira's review on Workspace from Meta" June 27, 2022 5.0 Overall experience is very good. I enjoyed working on Meta. As online meetings are the coolest feature for me. Real-time chat is also the best option, we can easily be in touch with far apart team members. Pros The ability to host online meetings is the coolest feature for me because of the excellent quality of the photos and the potential audience size. Cons Keeping track of the tasks allocated to teammates by tagging them in posts is still inadequate. Review Source GP Gracilma P.

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 VR Verified Reviewer Teacher Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for teachers!!" October 31, 2022 5.0 Pros I just started using Workplace from Meta this school year. I teach three classes this semester and implemented this software in all three. I like that I am able to inform my students instantly about any material they need. For example, I forgot to mention an example in class about the problems they would be working on for homework. This program allowed me to share a video file going over that problem. I was able to send a notification to my students right away. This helps so I do not receive a million emails that evening asking how to do a problem. I also like that students have the ability to submit assignments. Giving them different means of doing so has helped get my students to complete assignments. Cons The only thing I can think of so far was it took a lot of time to get all my students set up on their phones. I'm not sure if the internet was slow that day or if it was because of this program. Switched from [Microsoft Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/168668/Microsoft-Teams/) I wanted to try something else out for this semester of classes. So far, I like this program much better. Review Source Fadiah R. Human Resources Assistant Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Collaborating and communication is easy with this software" September 3, 2021 5.0 Pros Facebook Workplace is used as a platform for internal communication inside an organization. It's really simple to use, and users can easily share screenshots and videos with others in a group or individually. It offers you a place to post your ideas and celebrate your accomplishments within your company's walls. You may pin a conversation message to the top of the group or make a notification for any particular communication. Cons Whenever you click over the different post choices, such as polls, it would be helpful to see a little summary about what you're doing with them or how they are used. The pages might appear a little cluttered from an aesthetic standpoint. Overall, i am still satisfied with this software. 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.

Pros Workplace From Meta is a great software for work social networking, I can tag anyone on my team and easily assign tasks for them. Also, using this software motivates my team to collaborate and do all the tasks before the deadline. Cons It is not easy to use and you need time to learn how to use it, I also, suggest improving the chat function. 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 Surya P. Management Trainee Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workplace from Meta Review" August 31, 2022 4.0 I am using this software since the start of my career and am totally satisfied with it. It gives you the flexibility to easily connect and communicate with your peers. It also gives you a two-factor authentication option to protect your account from any fraudulent activity or unauthorized login. Pros The best tool to easily communicate with your colleagues or teammates in an office environment. It makes easy to interact with them rather then going on call and then interact to each other. Also, we have a news feed feature similar to Facebook which will give you regular updates about your colleagues and any new thing that happened Cons The layout of this tool may be a little difficult to understand for new people. Another point which I didn't like about this tool is that you don't have an option to block a particular individual on the tool. Also sometimes the number of notifications is high which might distract the person from their actual work.

Pros I like everything about Workplace from Meta. My company works at ease with this software. Cons I don’t dislike anything about this software. Review Source SM Stacy M. Lead Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "All in one package" September 11, 2019 4.0 We do event planning and put on a lot of events through out the year. A lot of the other similar solutions were mainly geared towards product creation or project completion. We needed something that was familiar and would be easy to train employees. Since this is a Facebook product, we knew this would be easy for our group to pick up and start using. We are a non-for-profit and most of our employees are volunteers, so we needed a solution that would give us fast and immediate communication with our employees. We needed a way to post our upcoming events, and then poll our workforce to who would be available to assist. This was the perfect fit for what we were looking for. Pros The software not only provides messaging. but also audio and video calling. There are two separate apps for this software. One is the Workplace app, which works the same as on your computer. The second is the Workplace Chat app. This app is very helpful in communication, as you can video and call via the app, as well as text message. File sharing can also be done via the chat. Cons The admin controls don't allow full access. Things like removing an employee, have to be done via email to support. You can deactivate an employee, which has the same effect, but simple employee removal is a must for most organizations.

We needed communication and not project management. While some did have great features, the lacked in providing the basic items that we required, such a a mobile app with chat, and video conferencing. Review Source Similar Products Featured
