Workplace from Meta just had better features and better support. Their features were released much earlier than Yammer - making innovation top of mind for the company.
Workplace [from Meta] far outstrips the others as it allows you to create an information hub, as well as just enabling conversations. The Newsfeed, Groups and the Knowledge Library all make it really simple for the end-user to find information, and the familiarity of having …

Chose Workplace from Meta
We can compare Workplace in general from email communication (we use Bananatag tool for this). Our email communication and Workplace communication are sometimes competitors. RIght now, we have much higher analytics of email read rate/open rate than on Workplace activity. It may …
Having used both Salesforce Community Cloud and Workplace from Facebook for several years, I can honestly say that there is no comparison between the two. The folks at Facebook know their stuff and how to produce a product that welcomes engagement and this has carried over into …
The other helps out only for files and project management. With Workplace place you can go farther in project management and communication between the different teams. It's really a game-changer for every company that as adopts this tool. If you take it, you will see a really …
I think that Workplace facebook is more intuitive for users than Slack or Yammer, it allows you to create groups and send information to everyone in a cleaner and more accessible way, as well as having more functionalities. In the case of Telegram, the functionality is more …
Workplace is so much better than Slack. It is a far less overwhelming way to message employees and provide input and status updates on projects. I feel like Slack is just a never-ending message board and it's all over the place, but with Workplace's familiar interface to …

Chose Workplace from Meta
I was not involved in the selection process, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help with this. I do know that my company is a stickler for security, though, as well as for making sure that the vendor is financially stable, so I would assume that Workplace by Facebook passed both …
Any other tool used before is not UI familiar as Workplace by Facebook. So now most of companies are migrating to Workplace because it's very easy to use, UI is perfect similar to Facebook which is widely used by everyone now. Also to keep fun in organizations after the …
Unfortunately, Microsoft Teams wins by far in comparison with Workplace. MS Teams has many features that does not exist in Workplace like Screen Sharing, Integration with many Third Party Apps, Meetings, Webinars and the list goes on. I think Workplace would be only a good …
Sametime only allows you to message coworkers when they're online, which usually implies they need to be in the office to talk with them. with Facebook, on the other hand, you can message people if they're offline which is great if you need to leave someone a message. In …
Slack has very limited features when compared with Workplace by Facebook. It looks like we have to make a group or something like that and start chatting like telegram or WhatsApp. It has some additional features and a professional look when compared with the social media apps, …
I have tried a host of products and found Workplace to be superior to many others based on pricepoint, user interface, features I need and use, and adding some great features I now use. The integration of Live into the Workplace platform is great for team meets, big …
I always liked Basecamp but it isn't perfect for every company. It doesn't have as a diverse field of things it can provide like Workplace by Facebook does. Workplace by Facebook is definitely better in almost every sense other than sharing documents. I think Basecamp is better …
The other video conference tools out there are more polished and robust. We still use Zoom for larger, important calls; calls with clients outside our organization (who don't have access to Workplace by Facebook Chat); and when we need to share screens to a group call …
We used SLACK and Trello, but Workplace is so great that we replaced both. Trello solves other problems with internal communication, our clients improved so much that we only use Trello for special projects. That is very important to us, so it is a great ROI.
Workplace by Facebook offers more features with less of a learning curve than other options, which has helped adoption and usefulness. It is built for communication, which it excels at. However, it is not built to address all business needs and other project management, …
In some ways, Workplace offers some interesting features not always found in similar products. For some, this can be in the form its easy to use screens and interaction features. On the other hand, some of its features are less streamlined, making it hard for users to …
Workplace by Facebook has an easy-to-use, interactive and friendly interface compared to the competitors, leveraging the original Facebook design and features to improve user experience and collaboration.
It is free for non-profits, and easy to use. However, it is not very popular. Once the user gets to know this software, it is easy to use. It's also a good connectivity tool -- instant messaging, group chat, files sharing, etc., can be easily done, and can be referred to at a …
Facebook is the one Common word across Globe. Almost Everyone knows how to use it. And if this is capable of handling workplace requirements, then it is perfect competitor for anything in market.
Well suited: - leadership communication. When our CEO posts a video to all company - it always gets the highest engagement - recognition/achievements posts - live streams for education, knowledge sharing - we are a company of 12000 associates and there is no other corporate channel for us to gather more than 500 people in one place. Less appropriate: - sharing some very targetted messages - it's impossible to do at Workplace without creating a group. So we use email channel for such targetted communications - instant communication like in a chat (probably it's less appropriate in our specific case because we use MS Teams for such quick communication instead of WP chats)
Bring groups of people together to share info, stories, updates, etc.
The chat app is pretty decent.
Workplace Live is a good large-group meeting broadcast platform.
It's pretty intuitive to use for anyone who's used Facebook.
It provides different levels of "security" for groups, allowing you to have open, closed, and "secret" groups.
It's easy to paste images into your posts and comments, without having to necessarily go through the process of saving an image as a file, etc.
It has search capabilities for finding old information.
It's available for both desktop/laptop and mobile devices.
It's secured to allow only those within the company to see company-related info (but it also has a few inter-company groups, which can be useful, too).
Workplace Chat has the ability to set it to Do Not Disturb.
You can set notifications, including email notifications, if you want to be alerted to new activity in your groups, etc.
It would be helpful if a review confirmation checkbox was able to be placed by files that needed to be read or reviewed. Along the same line, approve, review again, etc. would be helpful checkboxes to add by files, proposals.
The layout is clean but suffers a bit from the center column width with two sidebars and a lot of empty space. It almost looks like a going out of business sale retail store where you notice the empty shelves. Workplace feels a bit bare at times. I think some good design modifications can help. Now on mobile, it is a great layout. I am addressing specifically the desktop browser login.
An admin control dashboard would be really effective and even more so with more users on the platform.
Having to download multiple apps just to use the tool is very cumbersome. Facebook would have make this better by wrapping it in as a main feature within their app, but having to use multiple apps to see discussions and walls is so frustrating.
Workplace by Facebook is an excellent fit in respect of support and documentation. It has excellent tutorials and documentation, as well. The UI and UX are already great as it is developed and maintained by Facebook, so most of the times, there is no need for any support or documentation.
Workplace by Facebook is so much more than just a project management tool like Basecamp or Slack. The ability to disseminate information to employees is easier and better with Workplace by Facebook. It can also be used for informal messaging and sharing of information. It combines the best features of both with the same look and feel as Facebook.
