• Integrations and many apps.

• It is so easy to introduce to employees because it has the same look and feel as Facebook, which the majority of our employees are already familiar with.
• It's a communications, collaboration, and file/document sharing tool all rolled up into one. It eliminates the need for other software.
• Our HR team uses it constantly to keep employees up to date on company news and for polling to get feedback on new initiatives.

• Limited project management options - no good way to track tasks or projects, so other tools are needed.
• Easy to dismiss for people who don't see the value - the Facebook-like nature of the tool can be a liability when it comes to wanting management to take it seriously.
• Chat interface has downsides - the standalone chat applications can be a bit buggy, and the chat interface within the web view is not ideal.
• No intuitive way to message a group - chat options like Slack are better at easily messaging a group or department, where in Workplace you have to be a member of a group to start a conversation.

• Workplace by Facebook hasn't helped me make any money, but it does educate me on the new tools my company releases so that I can better help my clients.
