Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our organization is musical. At first, we communicated through instant messaging applications of cell phones but decided to take a leap towards technology and we were convinced to start using this program. With Facebook Workplace we communicate with all the workers of our company, and the main Directors maintain a communication with their team that is quite good and effective.

Pros and Cons

It speeds up communications between workers, I mean, managing information about the company is much easier now.
It has a very competitive and achievable price
With this application, time is not lost. The workers use it to communicate with each other about work

It is not compatible with your personal Facebook profile
You do not have a free trial or a free 30-day version

Return on Investment

Effectively improves the communication of workers among them, specifically when forming a work team of more than 4 people
It also improves communication between the leaders of the company and the rest of the workers of lower ranks

Alternatives Considered

Google Hangouts

Facebook Workplace gives a feeling of professionalism to the communication between workers. You have a wall where you post information, attach photos, have a chat, and there may be conversations between several people at the same time. It really has no comparison and since we used this application we have improved in the way we communicate.

Other Software Used

Google Drive, Google Hangouts

Likelihood to Recommend

For example, you need to do teamwork where more than 4 people should meet and contribute ideas for a project. With this tool, you can organize, converse and exchange information about a teamwork project. At that moment this tool becomes quite useful. Also when the president or vice president of the Company wants to share with the workers and give them his message, he can easily do so through this program

If you want to talk about personal things or publish information about something that is outside your workspace, this application is not the most appropriate
