Overall Satisfaction with Workplace by Facebook
Workplace is used as the central communications hub of the company. It is used across the board and it fosters a sense an of belonging across all areas of the company. On companies that are very big, it is a good tool to make sure you can see how your work impacts other areas and keep up to date with the company´s updates.
- Instant social feel: very easy to use.
- Works on any device. Designed for mobiles and on the go workers.
- The Groups feature is very well designed and very useful.
- Very easy to get distracted. There is a risk to scroll endlessly without any use.
- Notifications can be annoying and not customizable enough.
- Very hard to track project updates on the platform and focus on one single issue.
- It is a bit expensive, which may hurt ROI.
- It does push productivity higher, especially for the Sales Team that can get instant support, increasing sales.
- It allows for more remote working which is good and increases ROI as you can reduce some fixed costs.
- Slack and Google Hangouts
Hangouts is positioning itself as a simpler service. It does not need to have a complete feed or directory of all of the users. Slack works more like Workplace, but feels more limited. Workplace feels more like a community board and can bridge distances between remote teams and align the objectives of the company on a central hub.
