Workplace by Facebook Reviews

The best thing is we do not have to send or accept request to connect with others.

It's UI is very similar to regular facebook to looks familiar.

It is user-friendly, as most individuals are familiar with Facebook. The look and feel are the same.

It reduces the number of emails, as people can choose to post communications instead of maintaining a distribution list.

It fosters participation and collaboration.

Its layout is very similar to regular Facebook, so it looks familiar and easy to use. Members do not need to be trained to use it for the first time or later on.

We can create different groups for different departments or different projects according to our needs, and share required content over that group only; it's a helpful way to discussions, collaboration, etc.

Its pricing is suitable for a small or large organization.

It has nice mobile apps, which helps us to keep connected with the organization and project while we are away.

The chat feature is inbuilt in Workplace by Facebook, so we don't have to use other apps for that purpose.

It provides a user interface that is familiar and proven to assist in engaging people to use the platform. The layout is clean and minimal and pleasing and that helps staff become comfortable with interacting with one another.

Group insights are a fantastic feature that allows you to see how a certain topic, discussion or file is performing with the staff or audience. If you are seeking feedback on a particular memo, for instance, the insights will catalog who has viewed, how many comments, questions or interactions, etc. It helps to see in real-time, the things staff or clients are excited about and then the items where no one comments.

Cataloging of historical information is a real benefit. The dashboard has a notes section where I will keep a lot of private and or personal reflections that I can reference at a later time. I may jot a few notes about a project so I can recall them at a later point. Many programs do this, but again, this is all within the same house and for time and memory sake, this really works well.

Segmenting is very easy to do. We have set up Groups for various projects, teams, clients or cohorts. You can segment as much as you want and one person may be in more than one group but maybe not all groups. Basic segmenting that works well. Notifications are sent when new posts or news is released.

The platform is not the same portal as Facebook so there is no chance that posts get put on the wrong timeline. With this said, what I like most is the ease of onboarding and no one has had any trouble getting up and going on Workplace. It is like Facebook, easy and something most if not all will have familiarity in navigation.

Passing information to all staff

It's free

Chat feature

You can view it on your mobile device

It provides a place where you can interact with your fellow coworkers.

It helps get questions answered fast and it may be helpful to others as well to see your questions and answers.

It provides a place where I can always be updated about whats going on in my business, new items that my company releases, and videos or documents on people explaining how to use the new items.

It provides the ability to instantly post something the same way you would on personal Facebook accounts to let the company know of a success story, announcement, or praise for another employee.

The ability to stay logged into your personal account and access your company login through the same portal. This has drastically increased adoption versus any other internal social media channel that we have tested in the past.

The ability for others, even those you don’t work with, to comment and share posts that team members have shared. This allows for digital virality within the company, which helps foster a healthy corporate culture digitally.

Since most people use Facebook for their own personal social networking, the ease of figuring out Facebook for work is exceptional and get more people to adopt the platform and use it on a daily basis.

No need to Send a Friend request and wait for acceptance to start Communicating. Everyone in the organization is already connected to you.

You can understand the hierarchy more easily, Communicate the Cases directly to the concerned person/team, Post an experience across the platform for everyone.

Flexible - polls and comments have a variety of business uses that make it a much more robust communication tool compared to strictly chat-based options.

One point of connection for all communication needs.

The layout is very similar to Facebook, so it has very little learning curve.

The mobile app is well made and easy to use, so we're not tied to just our laptops for communication.
